The sun has a temper tantrum from time to time. Every solar climax, the sun unleashes a wave of solar flares, sunspots and coronal mass ejections. Most of these disturbances go unnoticed on Earth. The atmosphere serves as a shield from the solar storms. This doesn’t mean Earth is out of the woods, however. Solar […]

Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center chose to pay a $17,000 ransom to hackers who took the institution’s computer network hostage. The hackers said they wouldn’t hand the computer systems over until the medical center paid the ransom, according to the hospital’s chief executive on Monday. The incident took place on Feb. 5th when hackers used a […]

So often Hollywood serves as a sort of idea test-bed for futuristic scientific concepts that often have a habit of becoming reality, but back in 1984 when The Terminator was released, hardly anyone believed that “killer robots” would someday become a reality. But today, as robotics becomes a much more mature scientific field of study, […]

Bill Gates, Microsoft mogul, inventor and philanthropist, is considered to be one of the world’s biggest and most famous visionaries. Unfortunately, however, Gates has decided to take his vision a step further, by developing a computer chip technology that could essentially aid him in his quest for population control and reduction. Gates’ medical microchip implants […]

North Korea claims it wishes to resolve its nuclear issues with the United States through negotiations, warning that the country is capable of attacking America with its tested hydrogen bomb. The threat follows a declaration from North Korea last month, when the outcast state claimed to have tested a hydrogen bomb. North Korea released footage […]

The dreaded Zika virus may have already infected the emergency blood supply in the United States, warn health authorities. And we now have confirmation that Zika can be sexually transmitted (it just happened in Dallas and was confirmed by the CDC). This means Zika is now a much larger potential risk than what we’ve envisioned […]

The solar system may have just got a little more cramped. Scientists unveiled evidence on Wednesday of a strange new planet, five to ten times larger than Earth, on the fringes of the solar system. If confirmed, the solar system will jump from eight to nine planets; although, many still want to push the list […]

In the next generation or so, highly capable robots will obliterate America’s middle class by displacing tens of millions of workers. Nearly all low-wage labor jobs will be taken over by affordable, reliable robotics systems. The unemployment masses will eventually rise up against what they see as “injustice,” and the controllers of society will unleash […]

Seth Shostak, the director of communication at the Search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) Institute, is optimistic with respect to the search for extraterrestrials. When it comes to the future of humanity, however, Shostak is a little more grim. In an opinion piece for SETI entitled, “Could This Be Humanity’s Last Century?,” Shostak suggests that the […]

Harvard University has been granted $28 million to try to figure out why human brains are better at processing and absorbing information than artificial intelligence (A.I.). The award, provided by the Intelligence Advanced Projects Activity (IARPA), could make A.I. systems more like the breathing tissue of biological brains than the cold steel of artificial silicon. A […]

Science is a recent enterprise to take humanity by storm. Despite its infancy, science has made rapid progress. But in order to understand where science can take us, it’s important to understand its roots, which have been been oversimplified – and in many cases, skewed – by mainstream television. Anyone looking to refresh their memory […]
