Does This Time Travel Story From 1980 Have Validity?

Does This Time Travel Story From 1980 Have Validity?

Did time travel really happen 35 years ago in Great Britain?  Some people think so.  If nothing else it is interesting to learn about this as many feel it is real: Dubbed “Britain’s Roswell”, the Rendlesham Forest incident, which took place over a series of nights in December 1980, continues to fascinate UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy

Universal Math and Patterns…Is He Right?

One or the more controversial topics making its waya round the internet is that of vortex based math.  Some say it is loosely pieced together and nonsense, others think it is groundbreaking.  Here is an excerpt from an author who dives in a bit: Can Vortex Mathematics Lead to Free Energy, or is It Just

10 Strong Theories That Aliens Exist

Most people, not everyone though, feel the odds that we are alone in the universe are slim.  With 100 billion visible galaxies in the known universe (and stress the word known), and most of those galaxies having billions of stars, the odds of some sort of intelligent life form other than ours existing seems strong.

Why Is Ceres Missing Craters?

The Ceres mystery continues.  Except this time it is not regarding bright spots or any pyramid like formations: Planetary scientists have a new mystery to investigate: Ceres, a dwarf planet that orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter, appears to have significantly fewer craters on its surface than scientists had expected. Meteorites that crash into

They Found A Huge Protogalaxy…10 Billion Light Years Away

Here is a really cool discovery of a “primitive” type of galaxy that is 10 billion light years away! Astronomer using the Palomar Cosmic Web Imager have discovered a giant protogalaxy 10 billion light-years away, and found that it is connected to a filament of the intergalactic medium. The protogalaxy is about 400,000 light-years across,

These Are Pretty Much Planet Factories

To this day astronomers don’t completely know how planets are formed.  They have a lot of ideas that may be on track but in the entire process, they can’t say for sure. This description in a quick generalization was taken: According to our current understanding, a star and its planets form out of a collapsing cloud

Would You Use This On Your Food?

Ah dreaded chemicals!  They have made their way into so many product, including food and these scientists have come up with a potential new way to preserve food…using light! Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) have strong antibacterial effect on major foodborne pathogens which paves

Cool Meteor Shower On August 13th

Space fans and just people in general can appreciate a cool meteor shower.  In less than one week, you will have the opportunity to witness one: Every year in mid-August, Earth plows headlong into the debris left behind by Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Slamming into our atmosphere at 130,000 mph, the crumbles flash to light as the Perseid

This Segway Can Fit In A Bag…Seriously

Back in the mid late 90s to early 2000s some people might remember the much anticipated launch of the segway.  Jeff Bezos and other influential CEOs touted this as an incredible invention that could change the way cities are planned.  The inventor is Dean Kamen and he has been responsible for other innovative devices in

EmDrive Space Propulsion System Is The Real Deal

I have to say it is often encouraging when the underdog scientist or inventor is doubted and even mocked, and then proves the skeptics wrong.  So is the case with the EmDrive propulsion system and here is some background and the latest in terms of developments: On July 27 Hacked reported that new experimental results

Sedna May Be Getting “Stolen”

What in the world, or “space” could be taking this dwarf planet near the edge of our solar system on such a strange path? Turns out, our seemly placid star had a criminal youth of cosmic proportions. A recent study out from Leiden Observatory and Cornell University may shed light on the curious case of

They Found Some Unusual Near Earth Objects

What are these unusual objects?  They seem to be following a straight line and almost have a form that looks manipulated? A new study using data from NASA’s NEOWISE space telescope has traced some dark Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) back to their likely source – a family of large, low albedo asteroids known as the Euphrosynes.

World’s Best Location For Stargazing

In the 21st century, many of us live in cities that have a lot of light pollution and other geographic and human made factors that prohibit ultimate stargazing.  Did you know what may be the best plae in the world to look at stars? A picturesque oasis village – turned tourist hot spot – San

Ceres Update – Part 5 With A 3D Video

Many science fans have been following the stories about the asteroid/mini planet Ceres.  In particular, the “bright spots” on one particular crater have the internet buzzing with questions.  In part 5 of our Ceres coverage, here is the latest video from NASA, close to the surface! Take a tour of weird Ceres! Visit a 2-mile-deep

Magnetic Bubbles At The Edge Of The Solar System

As telescopes have gotten more powerful and sophisticated in the last few decades, the incredible formations and cosmic phenomena never cease to amaze.  Astronomers have actually detected magnetic space bubbles at the edge of the solar system: A gem from NASA Heliophysics and the Science Visualization Studio. The sun’s magnetic field spins opposite directions on

Amateur Group Wants To Launch Their Own Rocket Into Orbit

Heard of SpaceX or NASA?  Well these students have started their own aerospace group and they have lofty ambitions! The Portland State Aerospace Society (PSAS), a student project at Portland State University, launched a rocket out in the Oregon desert on July 19th. The rocket soared nearly three miles into the sky—an impressive feat, but that’s just the beginning for PSAS.

They Found A Ring In Space That Spans 5.6 Billion Light Years Across

Every now and then there is something in science which is totally surprising.  This particular discovery is quite unexpected: A team of astronomers from Hungary and the United States has announced the discovery of the largest regular formation in the observable Universe – a ring with a diameter of 5.6 billion light-years, displayed by 9

Concept Of A Laser Based Spacecraft

This is a very interesting theoretical way to attain deep space travel and physicists discuss in the video: The “Lightcraft” is a laser-propelled spacecraft concept that could ultimately run on other beamed energies, such as microwave. You may recall some recent discussions at NASA about a microwave propelled thruster and the em drive.  This is
