The most widely accepted theory as to how our universe came to be the way it is is typically The Big Bang Theory, which posits that all of the matter in the universe today was once held in the tiniest point of energy that eventually exploded in a chemical reaction, rapidly expanding and inflating into what we see around us now. There are of course other theories as to how…
The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has made close to 13 million pages of declassified documents available online for the public to view, and they’re full of the types of things you’d expect the CIA to be involved in. Previously, these documents were only accessible if one found themselves at the National Archives located in Maryland, but now, a full archive of about 800,000 files has been made readily…
Out of Balance Time crystals are strange. At the very least, they are a contradiction. A time crystal is quantum phenomenon that demonstrates movement while remaining in its ground, or lowest energy, state. Essentially a non-equilibrium form of matter, time crystals are lattices that repeat not in space but in time, breaking time-translation symmetry. When the idea of a time crystal was proposed in 2012 by physicist and Nobel laureate Frank…
It’s hard to predict what the future has in store for mankind as a species. We can make educated guesses as to what life will look like for the average human 100 years from now–and a lot of it revolves around integrating the amazing technologies we’ve developed into the human body itself. You’ve undoubtedly seen some of this technology already. Prosthetics for missing limbs, bones, joints, and even gadgets that…
Spaghettified People Scientists believe that in the middle of a black hole is a one-dimensional point that contains a huge mass despite its infinitely small space. And in this point, the density of matter becomes infinite, the whole fabric of space-time breaks apart, physics no longer applies, and basically, everything blows into chaos and nothing makes sense. This theoretical point of madness is called the gravitational singularity. Much like everything…
Eating good food promotes overall health and well-being, but what you eat may also impact how you feel. Research suggests that not only can the food you eat affect your mood, but that your mood may influence the foods you choose to consume. Enjoying a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, wholegrain cereals, legumes, low-fat dairy, lean meat and oily fish, for instance, is associated with reductions in…
By Jess Murray Truth Theory Ruins of a lost Greek city buried deep underground have been discovered, which dates back to 2,500 years ago. Archaeologists recently discovered the previously lost city, 190 miles north of Athens in Greece, on top of a hill on the great Thessalian plains. Although the settlement dates back around 2,500 years, researchers claimed that it was mostly buried underground which is why it has not…
Targeted Treatment Cancer research is an area of medical science that, rightfully, gets considerable attention. There are nearly 14.5 million Americans with a history of cancer and with more than 13 million estimated new cancer cases each year. It’s no wonder even artificial intelligence (AI) has gotten into the field. Researchers from the University of Michigan are not getting left behind, with a groundbreaking method that has the potential to eliminate…
Dying of a broken heart is more than a myth. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (also known as broken heart syndrome) is a condition first recognised by Japanese researchers more than 20 years ago, and it has gained a great deal of attention in Western countries in the past ten years. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) temporarily affects the ability of the heart to pump efficiently. When this happens, the person experiences the same…
