The concept of Planet Nine first emerged from the scholarly halls of the California Institute of Technology in 2016, sparking a global scientific endeavor to uncover this elusive sphere. The planet is theorized to possess a mass that could dwarf Earth by tenfold and may take a staggering 20,000 years to complete a single orbit around our Sun. Such a colossal body would not only reshape the gravitational dynamics of the outer solar system but also join the ranks of the known giants, redefining the solar family tree. The latest breakthrough comes from a collective effort of international researc ..read more

The Curiosity rover has discovered a constant stream of methane, a known gas emitted by living things on Earth, escaping from beneath the planet’s surface in Gale Crater on Mars. It appears at different times of the day, and its level also varies from season to season. Scientists are confused about what is hidden in the depths of the Red Planet, because methane on Earth is emitted by living things. The results of the new study were published in the journal JGR Planets. Methane is a well-known molecule on Earth that consists of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Methane is usually a sign ..read more

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) stands as a pivotal institution dedicated to the monumental task of discovering alien life. Yet, despite its mission to detect extraterrestrial signals, SETI’s President, Bill Diamond, maintains a grounded perspective on the likelihood of Earth having been graced by alien visitors. Diamond’s stance is clear: the absence of verifiable evidence speaks louder than the rumors and myths of alien encounters. His words resonate with a sobering clarity, dismissing the notion of hidden alien technology in our atmosphere as unfounded. The idea of a gov ..read more

Matyas Moravec: Modern physics suggests time may be an illusion. Einstein’s theory of relativity, for example, suggests the universe is a static, four-dimensional block that contains all of space and time simultaneously – with no special “now”. What’s the future to one observer, is the past to another. That means time doesn’t flow from past to future, as we experience it. This clashes with how time is conceptualised in other areas of physics, such as quantum mechanics, however. So is time an illusion or not? One approach to find out would be to try to prove that time is unreal using logic alon ..read more

In the heart of Louisiana, the St Landry Parish courthouse stands as a testament to history and now, to the unexplainable. Parish President Jessie Bellard has come forward with claims that recent renovations have reawakened otherworldly occurrences within its venerable walls. The courthouse, a repository of local lore and legal legacies, has long been whispered to harbor spectral happenings. Yet, it is only with the commencement of refurbishments that these murmurs have manifested into tangible events, witnessed by the very eyes of Bellard himself. “It’s been a lot of activity over here, but t ..read more

A new online toolkit will help physicists and engineers imagine how humanity can realize its dreams of faster-than- light travel in space. This set of tools was created by an international team of scientists from the American company Applied Physics, which also hopes to provide a reality check for warp drive concepts. Our Milky Way galaxy has a diameter of 100 thousand light years and contains from 100 to 400 billion stars, as well as trillions of planets. This means that even at the speed of light (300,000 km/s) it takes 100 thousand years to cross the galaxy. But the space engines we have ma ..read more

The United States has seen its first two fatal cases of human infection with what’s colloquially termed as “zombie deer disease”. Two hunters shot an ailing deer in the forest, consumed its meat, and tragically succumbed to fatal brain damage. The disease, officially known as chronic wasting disease (CWD), earned its eerie moniker due to its symptoms, which mirror those of a zombie-like state. Infected animals exhibit lethargy, difficulty walking, drooling, lowered head posture, and a lack of fear towards humans. The degeneration in sick animals is slow, often spanning a year from initial infe ..read more

In a thought-provoking discussion on the nature of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host has stirred the public conversation with a theory that veers from the traditional extraterrestrial hypothesis. During an engaging episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the host delved into the possibility that UFOs could be the work of ‘spiritual entities’ rather than spacecraft from distant worlds. The host’s perspective suggests that these mysterious objects, often spotted in the skies or emerging from the depths of the ocean, are not mere physical crafts but a ..read more
