What Would Happen If All the Planets of the Solar System Aligned?
In 1609, famous astronomer Johannes Kepler published the first two of his three laws of planetary motion, which held that planets move around the sun in ellipses, not circles (as had been widely believed up to that time). He also stated that planets speed up as they approach the sun and slow down as they move away. Then, in 1619, … Continue reading
Radio Bursts Detected in Space ‘Defy’ Existing Theories
“They defy existing theories about both the origins of such objects and their characteristics,…” by Svetlana Ekimenko via sputniknews Galaxy clusters are some of the largest gravitationally bound objects in the Universe. Their mergers deposit huge quantities of energy, with the detected sources of diffuse radio emission in many such collisions falling into three categories: radio relics, radio haloes, and … Continue reading
Earth’s Inner Core Mysteriously Wobbles Back & Forth, Affecting Length of a Day, Study Shows
” “… Our latest observations show that the inner core spun slightly slower from 1969-71 and then moved the other direction from 1971-74. We also note that the length of a day grew and shrank as would be predicted. The coincidence of those two observations makes oscillation the likely interpretation” “ by Svetlana Ekimenko via sputniknews image: CC BY-SA 2.0 … Continue reading
If the Universe Formed from Nothing, Who Created the Nothing?
It’s a well known saying: “Nothing comes from nothing.” If we now put this into a galactic context, an exciting question arises: How could the universe literally come into being from nothing? For our terrestrial lives, something can only be formed if components exist to build it. But where did the material come from that made the hour of birth … Continue reading
Quantum Communication Could Work in Space, Aliens May Be Using It, Study Says
“…since this method of communications could work in space, extraterrestrial beings – assuming that they exist, of course – may be already trying to communicate with us that way…” by Andrei Dergalin via sputniknews The new research suggests that X-ray photons could travel unscathed hundreds of thousands of light-years. A pair of researchers from the University of Edinburgh’s School of … Continue reading

Scientists Lift Veil of Secrecy Concerning Functions of Human Genome Parts
“A group of researchers led by MIT Professor Jonathan Weissman has managed to make another scientific great leap forward by deciphering what each part of human DNA is responsible for in the working of a cell.” by Tim Korso via sputniknews image: pixabay The human DNA was deciphered years ago. However, biologists have remained unaware of what specific parts of … Continue reading
One Type of Time Travel is Actually Possible, And Einstein ‘Showed Us the Way’
“We know how to do it because Einstein showed us the way over a hundred years ago,” Greene explained. via sputniknews Next time you confidently say that time travel is impossible, consider that there are different types of time travel, and some of them do not necessarily involve Hollywood-esque time machines. At least one type of time travel is “definitely … Continue reading
Alleged Invisible ‘Space Walls’ May Shed Light on Universe’s Origin
