Biggest nearby star in galaxy begins stage 1 super nova Scientists say the nearby star, expected to complete super nova in 2012, Earth could be getting a second sun, at least temporarily. Dr. Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland, outlined the scenario to news.com.au. Betelgeuse, one of the night sky's brightest stars, is losing mass, indicating it is collapsing. It could run out of fuel and go super-nova at any time. When that happens, for at least a few weeks, we'd see a second sun, Carter says. There may also be no night during that timeframe. The Star Wars-esque scenario could happen by 2012, Carter says... or it could take longer. ...

The End of Oil By Nick Hodge The energy market as you know it is on the verge of a vast transformation. Complete domination of a centralized infrastructure by the big three — coal, oil, gas — is giving way to a distributed network comprised of dozens of new energy sources. Every available resource is on the table as the days of cheap oil fade farther into the distance. From the sun's rays up above to the tidal currents and earth's heat down below, the amount of energy we get from non-fossil resources is growing every day. Finding and harnessing these resources is a trillion-dollar business. China alone has said it'll spend $1.7 trillion doing so in the next ...
Blue Eyes Linked to Higher IQ

Bright blue eyes have long been viewed as a quality that can help to attract the opposite sex. Now research suggests having piercing blue eyes may also say something positive about your level of intelligence. Scientists believe they may have the explanation for why the likes of Stephen Hawking, Alexander Fleming, Marie Curie, and now Lily Cole are such brilliant academics – and it’s all in the eyes. They are also likely to be more strategic thinkers, able to plan their own time enabling them to work more effectively. In return, those with brown eyes are likelier to be faster at running enabling them to be more likely to succeed in sports such as football, hockey and rugby. The ...

Manic Metric Monday: Scientists Rethink the Kilogram By: Nick Carbone (1 day ago) Topics: kilogram, Mass, measures, metric system, royal society, Science, weights kilo2 Monday kicks off an urgent meeting between some of the greatest minds in science, a debate that could result in a rethinking of the most elemental scientific measurements. Will the kilogram ever be the same? The researchers are gathering at the Royal Society in London to discuss adjusting the fundamental mass of the kilogram. The kilogram is the only unit in the International System of Units (SI) whose measurement is based on a physical object. And anyone who's ever stepped on a scale knows how unkind Father Time can ...

TOKYO — Japanese researchers will launch a project this year to resurrect the long-extinct mammoth by using cloning technology to bring the ancient pachyderm back to life in around five years time, a report said. The researchers will try to revive the species by obtaining tissue this summer from the carcass of a mammoth preserved in a Russian research laboratory, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported. "Preparations to realise this goal have been made," Akira Iritani, leader of the team and a professor emeritus of Kyoto University, told the mass-circulation daily. Under the plan, the nuclei of mammoth cells will be inserted into an elephant's egg cells from which the nuclei have ...

He can't buy any more. It's illegal in many states now. So he only dips into his stockpile on special occasions. Not fine wine. Not Cuban cigars. It's dish detergent. Not just any dish detergent. "This is the stockpile I bought before the changeover," Yezak confesses with a hushed voice while shopping the cleaning supply aisle at a Walmart Neighborhood store in Tampa. "It actually works – not like the new stuff." Turns out, they really ...

DNA molecules can 'teleport', Nobel Prize winner claims Experiment spots spooky quantum imprinting effect By John E Dunn | Techworld Published: 15:56 GMT, 13 January 11 A Nobel Prize winning biologist has ignited controversy after publishing details of an experiment in which a fragment of DNA appeared to ‘teleport’ or imprint itself between test tubes. According to a team headed by Luc Montagnier, previously known for his work on HIV and AIDS, two test tubes, one of which contained a tiny piece of bacterial DNA, the other pure water, were surrounded by a weak electromagnetic field of 7Hz. Eighteen hours later, after DNA amplification using a polymerase chain reaction, ...

The biggest rocket ever to launch from the US West Coast has lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The 72m-high Delta IV Heavy was carrying a classified satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). It has previously only operated from Florida, and the launch pad at the Californian base had to be upgraded to handle the giant vehicle. Flying the Delta from the West Coast allows the largest reconnaissance satellites to be put into polar orbits. The vehicle is reserved for military and intelligence use, although there has long been discussion about modifying it for a role in human spaceflight. The Delta IV Heavy features three core boosters strapped side by side. Each has a ...

The arrow points to a white ice 'tongue,' which is an outlet glacier, leading from the white ice sheet out into the black ocean. The town is located on the rocks, north of this outlet glacier at its western tip. The majority of Greenland's ice loss occurs in such coastal regions, either by melting or iceberg calving.

It's no secret that China produces more than 95% of the world's rare earth elements. It's also no secret that China cut its export quotas by 72 percent in the second half of 2010 — then 35 percent for the first half of 2011. . Of course, this has been an amazing opportunity for investors in rare earths... But it could also soon prove to be an amazing opportunity for forward-thinking companies that aren't wasting any time trying to find alternatives for their rare earth needs. Building a better electric mousetrap Toyota (NYSE: TM) recently announced it's very close to developing new electric motors for its hybrid cars — motors that don't depend on ...

Car batteries powered by relativity January 14, 2011 By Lisa Zyga Enlarge Scientists found that 80-85% of the voltage of a lead-acid battery is due to relativistic effects. Image credit: Wikimedia Commons. (PhysOrg.com) -- French physicist Gaston Plante invented the lead-acid battery in 1859 – almost 50 years before Einstein developed his theories of relativity. Now scientists have found that the lead-acid battery, which is commonly used in cars, strongly relies on the effects of relativity. Specifically, the scientists calculated that 1.7-1.8 volts of the lead-acid battery’s 2.1 volts (or about 80- 85%) arise from relativistic effects. Ads by Google Toyota - Official Site - ...

The Arcturians Edgar Cayce has said in his channelings, that Arcturus is one of the most advanced extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy. It is a fifth dimensional civilization which, in reality, is like a prototype for Earth's future. Its energy works with humanity as an emotional mental and spiritual healer. It is also an energy gateway through which humans pass during death and rebirth. It functions as a way station for nonphysical consciousness to become accustomed to physicality. The book, "The Keys of Enoch" has described it as the mid-way station or programming center used by the physical brotherhoods in our local universe, to govern the many rounds of ...

Scientists plan mission to probe Uranus Proposed by British scientists as a joint effort of NASA and the European Space Agency, the mission would offer the first close-up view of Uranus in 25 years. It would give scientists their first close-up views of Uranus since NASA’s Voyager 2 flew past and captured fleeting pictures 25 years ago. The £400million mission is designed to go in orbit to study the rings around Uranus and answer questions such as why it gives off so little heat. Uranus – first spotted by Sir William Herschel from Bath, England, in 1781 – also has the most powerful wind observed in the solar system, blowing at more than 500mph. The planet is ...
