Scientists in Arizona disclosed in a new report on Thursday that two mega tsunamis spanning almost 400 feet high sandblasted ancient Martian shorelines an estimated 3.4 billion years ago. Planetary scientists have suspected for decades that a primordial ocean may have covered much of Mars’s northern hemisphere. Last year, the team presented molecular traces of […]

Using a phenomenon where particles of light appear to travel quicker than light speed, researchers have demonstrated that light waves can appear to travel backwards in time. It is a common known law in physics that nothing can travel quicker than light speed. This isn’t entirely true, however. While it is impossible for any object […]

This story is supposed to be about a women flying down the highway over 100 miles per hour and plowing into another vehicle, whose driver is now brain damaged. Even more egregious, the driver that caused the crash was allegedly grabbing a photo via her Snapchat app. But maybe she wasn’t, according to WFSB.com: “A lawsuit filed in Spalding County claims Snapchat tempted a woman […]

(MindBodyScience.news) What happens to us after we die remains largely unknown; however, a growing body of research suggests that awareness may continue beyond clinical death, a medical term that no longer carries a black and white definition. Prior to the 1950s, “clinical death” meant vital organs, such as the lungs, heart and brain, had stopped working. However, […]

The Chinese regime allegedly tested a ballistic missile on April 12, which has the ability decimate major cities dotted throughout Europe and the United States in just 30 minutes. The People’s Republic are said to have fired a nuke known as Dongfeng-41, which has the longest range of any missile on the planet. It can […]

Something strange is happening in the Middle East. A string of animals have been arrested on the grounds of espionage, prompting many to wonder whether these Middle Eastern countries are suffering from mass paranoia. In Iran, for instance, two pigeons were arrested in 2008 near a uranium enrichment plant. Officials said the birds were “bearing […]

Here’s the latest pronouncement from the elite ivory tower of the Bloomberg editors: “Cash had a pretty good run for 4,000 years or so. These days, though, notes and coins increasingly seem declasse; they’re dirty and dangerous, unwieldy and expensive, antiquated and so very analog.” Yes indeed. Cash is, as they say, “déclassé,” a characteristic of the lower classes. Hmm, […]

Memories are all we have and yet, some of our recollections may not be our own. Scientists have long suspected that memories can be inherited, but never quite understood how. Now, researchers at Tel Aviv University claim to have discovered the mechanism that “[turns] the transference of environmental influences on and off.” In the study, published […]

The skin is the largest organ of the human body. Recently, scientists created a fake skin in the laboratory which, in addition to masking wrinkles and protecting against sun damage, could one day be used to deliver drugs for various dermatological disorders. In their paper, published in the journal Nature Materials, researchers at Harvard and […]

An unprecedented trial conducted by a U.S. biotechnology company is attempting to resurrect the clinically dead. Bioquark Inc. has been granted permission to recruit 20 patients who have been declared clinically dead due to traumatic brain injury. The researchers will try to bring certain parts of the central nervous system back to life through a […]

Elon Musk wants to make robots sweat. The CEO of SpaceX has created a $1 billion state of the art “Robot Gym” to train artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The intent of the gym, according to Musk, is to make robots as versatile as humans with respect to thinking. Musk joined forces with Sam Altman to […]

A fuel-free engine that appears to violate the known laws of physics has made headlines once again. Mike McCulloch, a lecturer at Plymouth University in the UK, recently put a hypothesis on the table that attempts to explain how the engine propels itself based upon a new theory of inertia. The engine, known as the […]

* When the government controls science funding, it uses its power to twist science, suppress science and selectively fund only those scientists who support a political agenda. * Scientists who are critical of the government’s agenda get their funds revoked. * EPA, FDA, CDC, USDA are all engaged in widespread scientific fraud and cover-ups. They […]

Time is one of the most familiar and bewildering phenomena in the universe. It is fundamental to human experience and a feature of reality everyone feels like they understand until they start thinking about it. Yet advances in modern physics suggest time is not a fundamental feature of the world, but assembled by a more […]
