Perfect Planet for an Alien

Extraterrestrials almost certainly exist if there are 100 – 200 billion galaxies we know about in the universe!  And they think a planet perfect for alien life has been found: The planet, known as Kepler-186f, is “more of an Earth cousin than an Earth twin,” Elisa Quintana, an astronomer at the SETI Institute at NASA

10 Bizarre Holes on Earth

This video examines the 10 strangest holes on planet earth. The phenomenon of sinkholes and unexplained phenomenon seems to be increasing and here is a list describing them: Number 10. The Darvaze Gas Crater. In Turkmenistan is the burning, stinking, sulphurous crater known as the Gate to Hell. In 1971 Soviet engineers were drilling the

What is Space Fabric?

Most of us often think about space as either air, gas or nothingness.  Not counting the planets, stars, meteors and the like but the gas and “space” in between all those things.  This video examines more in depth on what space fabric might actually be: “The Fabric of the Cosmos,” a four-hour series based on

Anti Matter…What Is This Stuff?

Antimatter is often something from Superman comics and most physicists and astronomers take it’s existence to be a fact.  Here is more on the exploration into this phenomenon: Explore one of the deepest mysteries about the origin of our universe. According to standard theory, the early moments of the universe were marked by the explosive

What Is The Paradox of Time’s Forward Motion?

Time is an unusual phenomenon that many like to consider the 4th dimension. Others feel that it is a manifestation of mentalism and but a mere illusion. This video examines the phenomenon from the vanatge point of some very well studied people. Here is more about it: Physics Nobel Laureate Sir Anthony Leggett talks about

Bizarre Quantum Entanglement Experiment

can you dig this? These experimenters have come to the conclusion that reality doesn’t exist until you look at it.  The most famous evidence in support of this is the quantum entanglement experiment.  Here is some more background from the studies at Australian National University: Quantum laws tend to contradict common sense. At that level,

Is There a Holographic Universe in Our Mind?

This very interesting scientific philosopher if you will poses the question, is there a holographic universe in our mind?  here is some more background on the general theory: At first glance, there is not the slightest doubt: to us, the universe looks three dimensional. But one of the most fruitful theories of theoretical physics in

Is There a Hidden Microscopic Universe?

whoa…no way. The universe is unfathomably big and these theorists make a case in the other direction. We measure things with the doppler effect, light years and powerful telescopes. What about an infinitely small universe?? We are able to study protons and neutrons, electrons and now even quarks. What if there was also a universe

The Web is not the Net..

The web, the net and the deep web are all different.  Who knew right?  Most people just associate the term web and net synonymously.  The ever interesting and unique VSauce makes a solid video illustrating the actual differences in data flow, history and user experience of the different structures.  The history of the internet unfolded

Where is This Mysterious Signal Coming From?

From the SETI program to crop circles there have been plenty of mysterious regarding things we may have or have not “detected”.  Here is another to add to the mystery: Exactly what may be causing the signal is hotly debated by scientists. Possibilities range from evaporating black holes to alien communication and merging neutron stars

10 Unsolved Mysteries of Space

Space is full of mysteries and although we have only physically traveled to the moon, the hubble space telescope and advanced mathematical theories help us study other parts of the universe.  So we have a great video for you of 10 unsolved space mysteries.  Have you ever wondered what really happens when light tries to

5 Time Travel Stories. Is This For Real?

Time Travel is a much debated topic in the scientific community and has been portrayed in some of the most popular movies in history. Einstein has posed certain theories about gravity and wormholes warping space time. And we have found an interesting video sharing 5 reported stories where time travel supposidely occurred. We obviously are

Do Parallel Timelines Exist in the Universe?

Multiple timelines simultaneously in the universe sounds like an out there concept.  We covered the topic of a parellel universe the the parallel timeline theory flows a bit differently.  Here is a bit more on the topic: Renowned physicist and author Brian Greene, takes us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are

Where are the Aliens?

This is one of the best scientific debates in regards to aliens.  The Fermi Paradox.  It is described as such: The universe is unbelievably big – trillions of stars and even more planets. Soo… there just has to be life out there, right? But where is it? Why don’t we see any aliens? Where are

Does a Parallel Universe Exist?

Does a parallel universe exist?  Or possibly multiple parallel realities and space times?  Some people think so and this video goes into depth about the theory.  Here is some background on the discussion: In 1954, a young Princeton University doctoral candidate named Hugh Everett III came up with a radical idea: That there exist parallel
