Faster-Than-Light Warp Drive May Actually Be Possible
A concept for a faster-than-light drive that does not violate the laws of physics has been gaining momentum. Right now the idea of traveling to planets orbiting distant stars is something that we can only dream about – even a spacecraft moving at just under the speed of light would take four years to reach the next closest star and … Continue reading
Study Reveals Unborn Babies Have Tiny ‘Lizard-Like’ Muscles
Are we the reptilian aliens, or perhaps hybrids? via Unexplained-Mysteries: A new study has identified new types of transient muscles in unborn babies that disappear before birth. These remarkable extra muscles, which grow in our hands and feet while we are still in the womb, are thought to either fuse into other muscles or shrink away to nothing before we … Continue reading
Mysterious Gargantuan Crater on the Dark Side of the Moon
Caption to headline image: The South Pole-Aitken basin (represented by the shades of blue at the center) stretches 1,550 miles (2,500 kilometers) across and is one of the solar system’s largest craters. The dashed circle indicates the spot where researchers found a weird material beneath the basin that contains metal. [end of caption] Billions of years ago, something slammed into … Continue reading
Life on Mars May Be Found in Couple of Years, Earth ‘Not Prepared’, Says NASA Scientist
Next year, NASA and the European Space Agency’s drilling rovers are to leave for the red planet to seek traces of life deep under the Martian surface. According to Dr Jim Green, who is involved with both missions, it is possible that at least one of them will discover the long-anticipated evidence. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Chief … Continue reading
Lasers Powerful Enough to Rip Holes in the Fabric of Reality are Being Created by Physicists
New technology could allow a high-velocity laser to pierce “through [the] fabric of the Universe.” People generally balk at the idea of scientists experimenting with and manipulating certain pillars of physical reality, whether that be gene splicing, artificial intelligence, or nuclear fusion. But in the last couple of decades, a new twist on this modern Island of Dr. Moreau-style narrative … Continue reading
Cats Can be Right or Left-Pawed- Study
What is the paw preference of your cat ? It’s not only humans who favor one hand over the other – cats seem to share this preference as well. The study, which looked at the behavior of 44 cats ( 20 female and 24 male ), found that male cats tend to favor stepping forward with their left paw while … Continue reading
Study Suggests Our Universe May Be 2 Billion Years Younger
The universe is looking younger every day, it seems. New calculations suggest the universe could be a couple billion years younger than scientists now estimate, and even younger than suggested by two other calculations published this year that trimmed hundreds of millions of years from the age of the cosmos. The huge swings in scientists’ estimates — even this new … Continue reading
Quantum Physicists Successfully Teleport a Qutrit for the Very First Time
Quantum teleportation has been a term related to qubits for the longest time and recently, researchers have successfully teleported ‘qutrits’. The research published on American Physical Society is a major breakthrough that will propel the quantum computation prowess to incredibly faster speeds. Scientists have been able to teleport qubits, Quantum Bits of information that have binary states – 0 or … Continue reading
Extraterrestrial Mineral Discovered Inside Meteorite
Scientists have discovered an exotic alien mineral that does not occur naturally anywhere on Earth. The discovery was made following a new analysis of the Wedderburn meteorite – a ‘lemon-sized’ space rock that was found back in 1951 near Wedderburn in Victoria, Australia. Scientists at the California Institute of Technology used an electron-beam microscope and electron probe to determine the … Continue reading
2 Giant Blobs at the Core of our Galaxy are Emitting Radiation, Unknown How They Got There
In 2010, astronomers working with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope announced the discovery of two giant blobs. These blobs were centered on the core of the Milky Way galaxy, but they extended above and below the plane of our galactic home for over 25,000 light-years. Their origins are still a mystery, but however they got there, they are emitting copious … Continue reading
