Physicists Develop Theoretical Model for Time Machine Known as TARDIS
Two scientists from Canada and the US have come up with a mathematical model for a viable time machine. The idea of traveling backwards and forwards through time has captured the imagination of the general public for centuries, but now two physicists believe that they may have found a way to construct a real-life time machine, albeit with materials that … Continue reading
Parasitic ‘Kissing Bug’ Disease ‘Chagas’ is Spreading Across the US
A parasitic illness that can cause strokes and heart failure is spreading across the US, doctors have warned. Chagas disease is transmitted by an insect known as the ‘kissing bug’ because it tends to bite people’s faces, near their mouths. Many never shown signs that they’ve been infected with the disease, which is why it has earned the nickname of … Continue reading
Large Potentially Hazardous’ 500 Foot Asteroid to Make Close Pass With Earth
An asteroid up to 500 feet (160m) in diameter is set to hurtle close past Earth next week. The giant rock, known as 2016 NF23, is moving towards our corner of the solar system at around 20,000 miles an hour – faster than many rockets. It is on track to pass nearest to our planet on August 29, according to … Continue reading
Quantum Madness: New Quantum Experiment Breaks The Concept of ‘Before’ And ‘After’
For around a century it’s been thought that particles don’t have defined properties until we nail them down with a measurement. That kind of quantum madness opens up a whole world of counter-intuitive paradoxes. Take this one, for example – it’s possible for a single particle to experience two sequences of events at the same time, making it impossible to know which … Continue reading
Scientist Have the Most Precise Reading Yet on How Fast Earth’s Magnetic Poles Could Flip
An analysis of a stalagmite from the depths of a cave in China has unveiled clues about an event in Earth’s history when its magnetic field flipped back and forth in a geological blink. Not only was this rapid wobble a surprise, a similarly abrupt shift in the near future would almost certainly pose big problems for societies heavily reliant … Continue reading
Enormous Pyramid Found in Lost Ancient Chinese City that Hosted Human Sacrifices
An enormous ancient Chinese pyramid has been discovered in an 4,300-year-old lost city, which regularly hosted human sacrifices and was once one of the largest settlements in the world. The astonishing find was documented in the latest issue of the journal Antiquity, in which researchers revealed that the newly excavated step pyramid is at least 230-ft high and covers a … Continue reading
Very Rare Flesh-Eating STD Case Reported in UK
The first case of a rare sexually transmitted disease that causes flesh-eating ulcers to appear near one’s genitals has been diagnosed in the UK. According to the Lancashire Post, the unidentified woman, who lives in Southport, England, was diagnosed with donovanosis within the past year. She is reportedly between the ages of 15 and 25. The STD is typically only … Continue reading
Bone Fragment Reveals Cave Girl Was Half Neanderthal, Half Denisovan
Analysis of a bone fragment found in a Siberian cave from a young female who died 90,000 years ago has revealed she was half Neanderthal and half Denisovan. The girl, thought to be aged around 13, is an example of interbreeding between now-extinct human groups. She is the first first-generation individual of mixed ancestry from two distinct human groups to … Continue reading
Polar Ice Discovered on the Moon Could Supply Water for Lunar Colony
Should the human race ever choose to live on the moon they might be able to set up colonies near the lunar poles, where scientists have just discovered sources of ice water within the shadows of craters. The European Space Agency has toyed with a vision of a lunar village in recent years. Now the NASA discovery of frozen water … Continue reading
Are Man-Made Earthquakes Possible? Here’s Evidence from 60 Years Ago!
At some point you may have heard someone mention man-made earthquakes but probably dismissed it as being impossible, well take a look at some evidence from 60 years ago. A device was detonated at least 6000 feet into the ground (roughly 2000 meters). This footage is from Project Cannikin, which was a proof-test for the 5 megaton warhead to be … Continue reading
