Over the past 20 years, Lake Michigan has undergone a dramatic transformation. Here’s a look at how invasive mussels have changed the lake’s landscape. Decades ago, Lake Michigan teemed with nutrients and green algae, casting a brownish-green hue that resembled the mouth of an inland river rather than a vast, open-water lake. Back then, the lake’s swampy complexion was less than inviting to swimmers and kayakers, but it supported a robust fishing industry as several commercial companies trawled for perch, and sport fishermen cast their lines for trout. But in the past 20 years, Lake Michigan has undergone a dramatic transformation. In analyzing satellite images between ...

Toggle Menu Seismic waves traveling through the earth often cause groundwater changes after earthquakes. Tuesday's 7.9 magnitude earthquake in the Gulf of Alaska sent vibrations through the earth that caused water to rise and fall in wells in Florida, thousands of miles away. Sensors near Fort Lauderdale and Madison, near the Georgia border, showed a minor change in water levels after the earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). image The blue line is the time of the Gulf of Alaska earthquake Tuesday. You can see the small water displacement in both wells a short time later as indicated by the sharp upward motion of the red line (well near Madison) and ...
The Y chromosome is disappearing – so what will happen to men?

The Conversation...The Y chromosome may be a symbol of masculinity, but it is becoming increasingly clear that it is anything but strong and enduring. Although it carries the “master switch” gene, SRY, that determines whether an embryo will develop as male (XY) or female (XX), it contains very few other genes and is the only chromosome not necessary for life. Women, after all, manage just fine without one. What’s more, the Y chromosome has degenerated rapidly, leaving females with two perfectly normal X chromosomes, but males with an X and a shrivelled Y. If the same rate of degeneration continues, the Y chromosome has just 4.6m years left before it disappears completely. ...

Conspiracy Theory Claims Stephen Hawking is an Imposter

C2C... An odd conspiracy theory circulating online could rival that of the Flat Earth when it comes to sheer outrageousness. Those who ascribe to this head-scratching concept say that renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking actually died decades ago and was replaced by an imposter. Conspiracy theorists point to a litany of alleged clues gleaned from studying photographs of the famed scientist over the years as well as aspects about his life that, to them, just don't make sense, such as his remarkably long lifespan for someone diagnosed with ALS in the 1960's. To that end, they argue that he actually passed away in 1985, when Hawking is known to have fallen gravely ill, and the ...
Virus-Like Protein Important for Cognition, Memory

TEHRAN (FNA)- A protein involved in cognition and storing long-term memories looks and acts like a protein from viruses. The protein, called Arc, has properties similar to those that viruses use for infecting host cells, and originated from a chance evolutionary event that occurred hundreds of millions of years ago. The prospect that virus-like proteins could be the basis for a novel form of cell-to-cell communication in the brain could change our understanding of how memories are made, according to Jason Shepherd, Ph.D., a neuroscientist at University of Utah Health and senior author of the study publishing in Cell on Jan. 11. Shepherd first suspected that something was different ...

Choi Space.com Contributor 13 hrs ago © Provided by Space.com New work probes the extraterrestrial source of incredibly powerful explosions of radio waves, investigating why that spot is the only known location to repeatedly burst with these blasts. These repeating bursts may come from a dense stellar core called a neutron star near an extraordinarily powerful magnetic field, such as one near a massive black hole, the study finds. Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are intense pulses of radio waves lasting just milliseconds that can give off more energy in a fraction of a second than the sun does ...

I have a feeling 2018 is going to be just as eventful, if not more so. 1. You will see more “smart” objects. I am not just talking about the internet of things where you can control your lights from the internet. I am talking about objects that can perform functions. Sort of like your smartphone ... but happen to be some other type of object. Amazon already has the Echo Spot and Show. These are both powered by voice commands but can perform all kinds of actions from calculations, playing games, looking up facts and, of ...
Climate Change – Is this an OMG Event?

QUESTION: Is it in your view a minor cold blip or “OMG we’re all going to freeze to death and run out of food ?” BR ANSWER: We are looking at an unbelievable decline in the energy output of the sun which appears to be the most rapid decline in nearly 10,000 years. The Global Warming crowd may be setting society up for mass famine and death because they are deliberately pointing everyone in the opposite direction to get their portion of the $1 billion grants. Natural disasters are the most disastrous when the energy output of the sun declines. There has been a fatal interaction of ecological, agricultural, economic, and political factors that seem to be setting the stage ...

C2C... Formerly a radio astronomer at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Marcus Chown is currently the cosmology consultant for the weekly science magazine New Scientist. In the latter half, he talked about his latest work penetrating the enigma of gravity, and pondering some of the fascinating questions in science. He became intrigued by the paradoxes of gravity, which though it was first delineated by Isaac Newton way back in the 1600s, it remains the least understood force today. And, Chown noted, while it's a very weak force compared to such things as electromagnetism, on a vast scale-- that of planets, stars, and galaxies, gravity controls everything. Gravity ...

One of the great mysteries of modern physics is why antimatter did not destroy the universe at the beginning of time. To explain it, physicists suppose there must be some difference between matter and antimatter – apart from electric charge. Whatever that difference is, it’s not in their magnetism, it seems. Physicists at CERN in Switzerland have made the most precise measurement ever of the magnetic moment of an anti-proton – a number that measures how a particle reacts to magnetic force – and found it to be exactly the same as that of the proton but with opposite sign. The work is described in Nature. “All of our observations find a complete symmetry between ...

The NASA/GISS temperature record is not actually a record of recorded temperatures. It is simply the most recent version of NASA's adjustments to older adjustments. It is not thermometer readings. It is models all the way down. In 2012, I wrote an American Thinker article on the status of global warming at the time. I used the latest available NASA/GISS data to do that analysis, which was the version NASA had on its website on April 30, 2012 (Land-Ocean Temperature Index [LOTI]). At that time, the data from 1880 through 2011 showed a warming trend of 0.59 degrees Celsius per century. What is that warming trend using the latest data from NASA's website (December 30, 2017), using ...
