Did an Exploding Comet Wipe Out The Clovis Culture? New Evidence Says Yes

/ Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By / 5 minutes of reading

Earth is subjected to a constant cosmic rain of material. The vast majority of it is tiny micrometeorites that burn up in the atmosphere, up to 100 tons per day by some estimates. But sometimes, much larger objects strike Earth. The most notable is probably the Chicxulub impactor that wiped out the dinosaurs and left a massive crater, now […]

An eye-opening experiment on cephalopods reinforces why it is so important for us not to underestimate animal intelligence. A study published in 2021 presented cuttlefish with a new version of the “marshmallow test”, and the results showed there’s more going on in their strange little brains than we ever suspected. Watch the video below for

78 Million Years Ago, an Asteroid Hit Earth. Then Life Grew in The Crater

/ Leave a Comment / Nature / By / / 4 minutes of reading

78 million years ago, a 1.6 km asteroid slammed into what is now Finland, creating a crater 23 km (14 mi) wide and 750 m deep. The catastrophic impact created a fractured hydrothermal system in the shattered bedrock under the crater. There’s evidence from other impact structures that in the aftermath of a collision, life colonized the

Study Confirms ‘Abrupt Changes’ in Antarctica – And The World Will Feel Them

/ Leave a Comment / Nature / By / 5 minutes of reading

Antarctica has long been seen as a remote, unchanging environment. Not any more. The ice-covered continent and the surrounding Southern Ocean are undergoing abrupt and alarming changes. Sea ice is shrinking rapidly, the floating glaciers known as ice shelves are melting faster, the ice sheets carpeting the continent are approaching tipping points and vital ocean

A new discovery has just brought the total number of Uranus’s known moons to 29. In the space close to the icy planet, outside its ephemeral rings, JWST snapped a tiny object that no one had ever seen before, not even in data from the Voyager 2 probe that flew past Uranus at a close distance in 1986.

This Incredible Brain Implant Can Decode Inner Thoughts Into Speech

/ Leave a Comment / Science / By / 3 minutes of reading

Scientists are making significant strides forward in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, and a newly developed system can translate our thoughts into text or sound. It’s essentially an inner speech decoder, developed by researchers from institutions across the US. In tests on four volunteers with severe paralysis, the decoder hit an accuracy rate of up to 74 percent

Scientists Are Using Earth’s Shadow to Hunt For Alien Probes

/ Leave a Comment / Science / By / 3 minutes of reading

For decades, astronomers have searched for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence using radio telescopes and optical instruments, scanning the skies for artificial signals. Now, researchers are taking a different approach, this time looking much closer to home for alien artefacts that might already be in our Solar System. A new study published in Monthly Notices of the

Around 2.2 billion years ago, a massive space rock collided against our planet, leaving a massive scar.Around 200 million years older than any other site like it on the planet’s surface, the so-called Yarrabubba impact structure is located in Australia. Although the impact site is the oldest found to date, finding it was not easy.Our
