Decoding the Mystery of the Universe

Decoding the Mystery of the Universe

This video takes a very interesting look at the universe.  Not in the traditional way by just observing formations through a telescope, but analyzing the potential underlying language if you will of the universe.  There are many math constants that we observe on earth and in outer space like the ratio of pi. Is this

Artificial Neurons Talking to Real Neurons

Swedish scientists have now made fake neurons that can communicate electrically with real neorons.  Have they gone too far? The fundamental function of neurons, defined as chemical-to-electrical-to-chemical signal transduction, is achieved by connecting enzyme-based amperometric biosensors and organic electronic ion pumps. According to the research paper, the results demonstrate the potential of the organic electronic

Gravitational Waves Are..?

What exactly are gravitational waves?  The is light a wave or a particle debate has gone on for some time and many have recently concluded it is both.  This may be related and let’s see what this study had to say: Who wants to bet against Einstein? Sure, there were a few bumps, but the

NASA and Dark Matter Labs

NASA is using their technology and knowledgebase to simulate black holes in ways previously impossible to learn more about their properties: A new computer simulation tracking dark matter particles in the extreme gravity of a black hole shows that strong, potentially observable gamma-ray light can be produced. Detecting this emission would provide astronomers with a

What Happens Inside the Google Brain?

This may be the one of the most important developments in the history of this generation and for many to come.  Not just this actual program called DeepMind but the understanding of AI, quantum computing and algorithms, and how they will change our future: The future of artificial intelligence begins with a game of Space

Observing the Universe With Gravity Instead of Light

This is an absolutely fascinating new way to observe the cosmos: Marcia Bartusiak joins Kip Thorne, Laura Danly and Rainer Weiss to demonstrate how two observatories on opposite sides of the country, called LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory), may open a new window on observing the cosmos—one based not in light but in gravity. Scientists

Can Galaxies Travel Faster Than Light Speed?

Light speed, space travel and the cosmos are among the most interesting topics and most debated in the scientific community.  The narrator in the video makes a remark about the topic and galaxies: Probably my biggest regret when I made the Hubble Deep Field in 3D video is saying the phrase “these galaxies are racing

Fractals and the Hidden Dimension

This video takes a fascinating look at the underlying math properties of the universe. Here is an intro about the video: What do movie special effects, the stock market, heart attacks and the rings of Saturn have in common? They all consist of fractals, irregular repeating shapes found in cloud formations,tree limbs, stalks of broccoli

NASA Update on Possible Ceres Pyramid

Last week there was a big brouhaha about a mysterious formation on the mini planet/asteroid Ceres.  It looked as if there was a pyramid but astronomers and science fans are not sure.  Here is more info on the latest updates: The closer we get to Ceres, the more intriguing the distant dwarf planet becomes. New

What Happens Inside a Black Hole?

Here is a totally new and interesting theory on what happens in the center of a black hole!  usually I don’t interject my opinions but it sounds fuzzy to me (no pun intended) There’s a common notion that at the edge of every black hole lies a back door to the universe — an exit

Is There a 3 Mile High Pyramid on Ceres?

What do you think is this a pyramid that was built by a species?  Or is it a coincidence and just a random formation on this moon. Plenty of observers have suggested — with varying degrees of seriousness — that the bright lights on Ceres could be evidence of current or past alien occupation of

Top 10 List of Evidence There Is Alien Life

The quest for alien life is a fascinating discussion and is often debated.  Some people are convinced aliens have abducted people and been here already with the building of the pyramids and crop circles.  Others say it is complete bogus and even doubt there is life elsewhere in the universe.  That being said we still

Super Computer Beats Human in IQ Test

Who’s smarter computers or people?  Obviously computers can excel at many repetitive tasks but what about an actual IQ test? Computers have never been good at answering the type of verbal reasoning questions found in IQ tests. Now a deep learning machine unveiled in China is changing that. Just over 100 years ago, the German

The Electric Earth Video

This is an absolutely fascinating video examining the properties of plasma from the sun and the electromagnetic field around earth: A fury is building on the surface of the sun. Heat generated in its core is released in towers of hot electrified gas, called plasma, that break the surface. Looping magnetic fields break the surface

Decoding The Hidden Universe

The Hubble Space Telescope had uncovered so much about the universe and space that is mind boggling.  Here is an incredible video showing off some of its findings and asks some great scientific questions: Twenty-five years ago, NASA launched one of the most ambitious experiments in the history of astronomy: the Hubble Space Telescope. In
