Physicists Claim to Uncover First Evidence that the Universe is a Hologram
Theoretical physicists at the University of Southampton believe they have uncovered evidence the universe is in fact a giant holographic illusion – and one of the researchers on the project has told Sputnik the findings will alter the way scientists think about the universe forevermore. In essence, the holographic universe theory means that while humans perceive reality as three dimensional, … Continue reading
NASA Working on Plans to Help Mars Grow Its Atmosphere Using Magnetic Shield
The Planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop is happening right now at NASA headquarters in Washington DC. The workshop is meant to discuss ambitious space projects that could be realized, or at least started, by 2050. One of the most enticing ideas came this morning from Jim Green, NASA’s Planetary Science Division Director. In a talk titled, “A Future Mars Environment … Continue reading
A New Scientific Paper Argues the Moon is a Planet—And So is Pluto
Every now and then a scientific paper makes a real splash. We had one recently, to judge from recent headlines. “Moon rises to claim its place as a planet” said The Sunday Times on February 19, while the Mail Online asked “Is this lunarcy?”. The articles were among many responding to the humble paper: “A Geophysical Planet Definition,” which suggested … Continue reading
Human Brain Generates Fructose
Fructose, a form of sugar linked to obesity and diabetes, is converted in the human brain from glucose, according to a new Yale study. The finding raises questions about fructose’s effects on the brain and eating behavior. The study was published on Feb. 23 by JCI Insight. Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruits, vegetables, table sugar, and many … Continue reading
HAARP Returns: Ionospheric Experiments Being Conducted Again
Those of you who kept abreast of HAARP and its goings on would recall that the facility was taken over by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Geophysical Institute 18 months ago and no experiments has since been undertaken (that is publicly known of) until now, well they are BACK AT IT! “This is a fantastic research facility. It is … Continue reading
Earth’s Climate Change Caused by Solar Fluctuations, Orbits of Earth and Mars According to New Study
A new study produced by a University of Wisconsin-Madison geoscientist and Northwestern astrophysicist links global warming/climate change and the earth’s temperature fluctuations to the amount of solar radiation, in part caused by small changes in the orbits of Earth and Mars. In an article summarizing the scientists’ findings, which were originally published this week in the journal Nature, the University … Continue reading
Quake Mystic Warns of Major Earthquakes Due to Planetary Alignments
Sorry we’re a little late with this story … especially if the ground is currently shaking under your feet. A self-described “earthquake mystic,” who claims he has successfully predicted major quakes based on planetary alignments, issued a YouTube video on February 19th (five days ago as of this writing) warning that a Mars-Venus-Jupiter-Uranus line-up will cause big tremors in the … Continue reading
“Chaotic” Solar System Might Be to Blame for Climate Change
While we’re all taught in schools that the orbits of the planets and other objects in our solar system fall into tidy elliptical patterns that are unchanging, more and more astronomical and geological evidence is pointing to the fact that this is merely a reassuring myth. Over the last several decades, more and more astronomers have published data which seem … Continue reading
Robots to the Rescue? Magnetic Microbot Swarms Could Combat Cancer, Other Diseases
Magnetically controlled swarms of microscopic robots might one day help fight cancer inside the body, new research suggests. Over the past decade, scientists have shown they can manipulate magnetic forces to guide medical devices within the human body, as these fields can apply forces to remotely control objects. For instance, prior work used magnetic fields to maneuver a catheter inside … Continue reading
Unexplained Nuclear Activity Detected in the Arctic
The Arctic has been receiving increased scrutiny from military conspiracy watchers lately thanks to several odd developments which seem to hint that strange doings are afoot in the frozen north. Last year, a mysterious pinging noise was detected on the floor of the Arctic sea just north of Baffin Bay in Canada. One of the most popular theories was that … Continue reading
