World’s First ‘Living’ Human Head Transplant ‘Imminent’ – Italian Surgeon
A controversial Italian doctor announced Friday that the world’s first human head transplant was “imminent” and that it would take place in China because his efforts to get backing for the project were ignored by the medical communities in the U.S. and Europe. “The Americans did not understand,” Sergio Canavero said in a press conference in Vienna, Austria, as he … Continue reading
Interstellar Message Was Sent to Nearby System by Alien Hunters
Is someone out there listening ? If there are any intelligent aliens in the GJ 273 system, they can expect to hear from us about a dozen years from now. Last month, scientists and artists beamed a message to GJ 273, a red dwarf also known as Luyten’s star that lies 12.36 light-years from Earth, project team members revealed today … Continue reading
Computer Simulation Strengthens Case for the Presence of a Second Sun
Astronomer from Quebec Gilles Couture conducted a study using computer simulation. Because of this he was able to prove that early in the Solar system, stars, there was a “duet”. But one of them left our galaxy and flew in the space provided, leaving the Sun in splendid isolation. According to the study, conducted by the astronomer, the weight of the mysterious … Continue reading
Planet with Similar Temperature to Earth Discovered Nearby – Could Host Life
Astronomers have discovered a world 11 light-years away that may have a surface temperature similar to Earth’s. The planet, Ross 128 b, is Earth-sized and is now the second-closest to Earth in temperature. The closest is Proxima b, located around Proxima Centauri, 4.2 light-years from Earth. Both planets orbit red dwarf stars, but what makes this new one somewhat more … Continue reading
Quark Fusion Can Create More Energy Than Nuclear Fusion in Stars
New research suggests that quarks – the very basic building blocks of matter that make up protons and neutrons – can be fused to produce a massive amount of energy that is more powerful than nuclear fusion. Quarks are elementary particles that combine to form hadrons — composite particles held together by strong forces, like protons and neutrons — and … Continue reading
Woman Breastfed Dog and Fertilized Her Egg with Dog Cell in Unusual Experiment, Wins Award
A Slovenian artist breastfed her dogs and fertilized one of her eggs with a dog cell as part of an award-winning three-month art project. She also produced a video documenting the creative process behind the bizarre venture. Maja Smrekar lived in seclusion with her dogs as part of the lengthy artistic experiment, which was titled “K-9_topology.” During that time, she … Continue reading
New Findings on Our ‘Freakish’ Galaxy Has Cosmologists Seriously Worried
In the grand club of galaxies, the Milky Way is increasingly looking like an outlier. This is a looming challenge for cosmology It has long been assumed that our galaxy is a classic example of many of the galaxies that pepper the cosmos. That’s important, because astronomers have intensely studied the Milky Way and, with this assumption, can use what … Continue reading
Massive Mystery Object Discovered at Milky Way Center –“Failed Star or Unknown Planet?”
Astronomer observe a gigantic mysterious world 4,000 times more massive than the Earth 22,000 light years away. via DailyGalaxy: Astronomers have used the light-warping effects of gravity to spot a massive object OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb using NASA’s infrared Spitzer Space Telescope, 13 times the mass of Jupiter and orbits a star about 22,000 light years away. This new discovery of an absolutely … Continue reading
Interstellar Ice Delivered via Meteorite Strikes May Provide the Answer to Birth of DNA
Researchers at the University of York have shown that molecules brought to earth in meteorite strikes could potentially be converted into the building blocks of DNA. They found that organic compounds, called amino nitriles, the molecular precursors to amino acids, were able to use molecules present in interstellar ice to trigger the formation of the backbone molecule, 2-deoxy-D-ribose, of DNA. … Continue reading
Potential ‘Missing Link’ Chemical that Led to Life on Earth Found by Scientist
Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found a compound that may have been a crucial factor in the origins of life on Earth. Origins-of-life researchers have hypothesized that a chemical reaction called phosphorylation may have been crucial for the assembly of three key ingredients in early life forms: short strands of nucleotides to store genetic information, short chains … Continue reading
