Bacterium Survived Outside ISS for an Entire Year
via unexplained-mysteries Scientists have identified a bacterium that seems surprisingly capable of surviving in the vacuum of space. Scientists have long speculated over what processes might have given rise to life on other worlds. One such process, which is known as panspermia, involves life from one planet being transported to another on asteroids and comets that have come into contact … Continue reading
Astronomers Discover ‘Celestial Highway’ that May Speed up Travel through our Solar System
Headline Image caption & credit: An illustration of the planets in our Solar System and the missions sent to explore them. © Jenny Mottar / NASA. via RT: Astronomers have discovered a “celestial highway” to travel through the Solar System much faster than was previously possible. The development raises the prospect of rapidly sending crafts across vast swathes of space. … Continue reading
Unusual Deep Space Signals in Antarctica May Indicate Existence of Parallel Universe
Stephen Ornes via Astronomy Last spring, a report from the world’s largest neutrino telescope — a sprawling grid of detectors woven into Antarctica’s ice — coincided with a blaze of hyperbolic headlines. They teased the possibility of an anti-universe where, from our point of view, time runs backward and the Big Bang represents an end, not a beginning. While it’s … Continue reading
Radiation from Big Bang Translated into Binary to See if There’s a Message from “The Creator”
James Felton IFL Science Back in 2006, in a piece published in Modern Physics Letters, two physicists proposed that if a “Creator” of the universe exists, and they were the kind of creator that felt like leaving a message for intelligent beings to eventually discover, then the cosmic microwave background would be a “stupendous” place to place it. Now, an … Continue reading
China Activates Nuclear-Powered ‘Artificial Sun’, TEN TIMES Hotter Than the Real Thing
Beijing has successfully powered up its “artificial sun” nuclear fusion reactor for the first time, China’s People’s Daily reported on Friday. It’s designed to be a clean energy source, similar to the real Sun. Made to replicate the natural reactions that occur in the sun using hydrogen and deuterium gases as fuels, the HL-2M Tokamak reactor is China’s largest and … Continue reading
Amateur Astronomer Alberto Caballero May Have Found Source of Wow! Signal
This is an incredible development. This study suggests the source of the ‘WOW! signal’ may have come from a planet similar to Earth circling its own sun-like star! Bob Yirka via Phys.org Amateur astronomer and YouTuber Alberto Caballero, one of the founders of The Exoplanets Channel, has found a small amount of evidence for a source of the notorious Wow! … Continue reading
Type O Blood Linked to Lower Risk of Getting Covid-19, Taking Vitamin D Unlikely to Help
By Nancy Lapid (Reuters) – The following is a roundup of some of the latest scientific studies on the novel coronavirus and efforts to find treatments and vaccines for COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus. Certain blood groups less likely to get COVID-19 A large study adds to evidence that people with type O or Rh−negative blood may be … Continue reading
Earth 2,000 Light Years CLOSER to Supermassive Black Hole & Moving FASTER than Previously Thought
I wonder if this newly discovered information means that we (Earth and our solar system) will be sucked into the black hole before the death of our Sun. via RT: As if 2020 wasn’t ‘unprecedented’ enough, astronomers have learned that Earth is actually 2,000 light years closer to the Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky … Continue reading
Our Galaxy has 300 Million Potentially Habitable Planets
Headline Image caption & credit: The Earth is certainly not alone in the cosmos. NASA Ames / W Stenzel A new NASA study has revealed just how many potentially habitable worlds there are in our galaxy. As things stand, the Earth is the only known example of a habitable world in the entire universe – even the other planets in … Continue reading
Scientists Achieve Success in Reversing Biological Aging
In a world-first study, the biological aging process has been reversed in a group of elderly volunteers. Mankind has been obsessed with gaining immortality for thousands of years, but even despite the incredible advances in science and medicine achieved over the last few centuries, our species still remains just as vulnerable to the aging process as our ancestors were millions … Continue reading
