Scientists Discover Chemicals Needed for Life on Venus
By ADAM BARNHARDT via comicbook.com Headline image credit: Danielle Futselaar Scientists have discovered the potential for biological activity within the atmosphere of Venus. While researchers didn’t spot little alien guys flying around the planet in their spaceships, one recent journal study reveals the existence of phosphine in the planet’s atmosphere. Not only that, but Rakesh Mogul and other researchers from … Continue reading
Particle Which Disobeys Known Laws of Physics Discovered
“We can say with fairly high confidence, there must be something contributing to this white space. What monsters might be lurking there?” via Unexplained-Mysteries: Image: The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois.

Modern Brains Evolved 1.7m Years Ago in Africa, Study Finds, after Examining Skulls of Ancient Ancestors
via RT Headline Image: CT scans of early monkey-like brain and a human-like brain. © M. Ponce de León and Ch. Zollikofer, UZH When human’s very ancient ancestors took their first steps out of Africa, some 3 million years ago, their brains looked more like those of great apes. A new study says our big brains developed only some 400,000 … Continue reading
COVID Mutations May Cause ‘Devastating’ New Flare-up & Render Vaccines Ineffective
“COVID-19 pathogens could mutate into a new superpowerful strain that would be not susceptible to vaccines and would thus infect the global population again in an even more pervasive, “very, very scary” outbreak, scientists have warned, as reported by the Sun.” by Lilia Dergacheva via sputniknews A string of studies has shown that although the existing vaccines still do work … Continue reading
Eerie Rumbles are Coming from Mars’ Interior
via Unexplained-Mysteries NASA’s Insight lander has recently picked up the telltale signs of seismic activity on the Red Planet. The space probe, which landed on Mars back in November 2018, uses a special dome-shaped device deployed on the planet’s surface to listen out for signs of seismic activity. Known as the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS), the device is … Continue reading
Octopus Study Reveals Sleep Cycles and Similarities with Humans
“A study by researchers in Brazil published on Thursday shows that this animal, already considered perhaps the smartest invertebrate, experiences two major alternating sleep states eerily similar to those in humans – and it even might dream.” People actually boil these creatures alive 🙁 By Will Dunham Reuters The octopus is an extraordinary creature – and not only because of … Continue reading
Hypnosis Changes the Way our Brain Processes Information, Study
via University of Turku In a new study, researchers from the University of Turku showcased that the way our brain processes information is fundamentally altered during hypnosis. The research helps to understand how hypnosis produces changes in a hypnotised person’s behaviour and subjective experiences. During a normal waking state, information is processed and shared by various parts within our brain … Continue reading
New Theory Suggests Large Blobs of Material in Earth’s Mantle are Remnants of Protoplanet Theia
via PHYS.org A team of scientists at Arizona State University has proposed that the large blobs of material in Earth’s mantle (the large low-shear velocity provinces, LLSVPs) may be left over pieces of Theia, a protoplanet theorized to have struck Earth, resulting in the creation of the moon. The group argued their case at this year’s Lunar and Planetary Science … Continue reading
Major L.A. Quake Threat May Be Posed by Overlooked Strand of the Southern San Andreas Fault
By AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE via Scitechdaily Addressing uncertainties about where large earthquakes are most likely to occur along the southern San Andreas fault, which splits into multiple strands east of Los Angeles, a new study identifies a strand that has largely flown under the radar of public concern as the region’s greatest earthquake threat. The study … Continue reading
Warp Speed May be Possible with Tremendous Amount of Energy
By Lu Xiao via Epoch Times Headline Image: NASA People have long dreamed of traveling to other stars and planets and wandering in the universe with a starship. However, such things only exist in sci-fi, because even the closest star to the sun, Proxima Centauri, is more than four light-years away. This means that even if you could travel at … Continue reading
