For the first time, astronomers have traced an enigmatic blast of radio waves to its source. Since 2007, astronomers have detected curious bright blasts of radio waves from the cosmos, each lasting no more than a few milliseconds. Now scientists have been able to pinpoint the source of one of these pulses: a galaxy 1.9 billion parsecs (6 billion light years) away. It probably came from two colliding neutron stars, says astronomer Evan Keane of the Jodrell Bank Observatory outside Manchester, UK, who led the team that reports the detection in Nature1. The discovery is the “measurement the field has been waiting for”, says astronomer Kiyoshi Masui of the University of British ...

Are we alone? Looks like it. Avatar fans prepare yourself for disappointment as we’re afraid you may never get to live on Pandora. A new study has shown that Earth truly is one of a kind with nothing coming close to life on this planet. Astronomers in Sweden used computer simulations to model the known universe from existing data and then applied the laws of physics to advance the model 13.8 billion years. Out of the 700 quintillion potential planets, none resembled Earth, meaning we may be very alone after all. Sorry Alf. The results call into question the Copernican principle which says that humans are not privileged observers in this universe and that we do not occupy a ...

Apple Condemns FBI's "Chilling" Overreach By Nick Hodge | Wednesday, February 17, 2016 Three cheers for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Tim Cook. He has told the United States government — and particularly the FBI and IRS — to shove it. And on multiple fronts. First, he has stood up to the notion that Apple should pay more in taxes because it keeps $200 billion offshore. Cook commented on 60 Minutes in December that his company “pays more taxes in this country than anyone.” And that the notion that Apple is "engaged in a scheme" to pay fewer taxes, according to the government, "is total crap.” Perhaps more important is Apple's ...

Allowed on Timeline “Only the existence of a field of force can account for the motions of the bodies as observed, and its assumption dispenses with space curvature. All literature on this subject is futile and destined to oblivion. So are all attempts to explain the workings of the universe without recognizing the existence of the ether and the indispensable function it plays in the phenomena. My second discovery was of a physical truth of the greatest importance. As I have searched the entire scientific records in more than a half dozen languages for a long time without finding the least anticipation, I consider myself the original discoverer of this truth, which can be expressed by ...

This incredible graphic shows all the firepower of Russia's fifth-generation jet Business Insider By Jeremy Bender 10 hours ago As the US continues to push ahead with the development of its fifth-generation fighter the F-35, Russia has been hammering away at its own next-generation aircraft. The PAK FA, also known as the T-50, is Russia's answer to America's F-35 and China's J-20. Moscow envisions their fighter to carry out long-range strikes, intelligently target ground targets, and destroy enemy aircraft all the while stealth. To accomplish those goals, the PAK FA will come armed with an extensive set of armaments. Below is an infographic by Russia-based designer ...

Buffett Secures the Cheapest Electricity in the USA By Adam English | Monday, February 15, 2016 There comes a time when every stereotype has to end. We're seeing that happen to several of them in the energy sector right now. First, it was the infallibility of King Coal. Next it was the promise of shale oil. Now, it is time to bury a third, once and for all. Renewables have been panned for years as too costly to compete. Recent news coming out of the Southwest paints an entirely different picture. Solar is now being bought for less than coal, natural gas, nuclear, and even wind in some cases, and it is becoming the cheapest power in the world. Bidding Frenzies Last April, Austin ...

Several days ago, it was in 'cue ball' mode, with an incredible image from Nasa showing no large visible sunspots seen on its surface. Astronomers say this isn't unusual, and solar activity waxes and wanes in 11-year cycles, and we're currently ...

Of all the subjects of academic study, psychology is probably the most useless, or at least the most useless by comparison with its pretensions to use. In a century and a half, it has not told us anything of undisputed value. It is subject to absurd fashions, and its published experiments, even when they are interesting, are often either not reproducible or their relevance to life is unclear. The overall cultural effect of psychology is negative, insofar as it tends to alienate people from their own direct experience and causes them to speak of themselves as if they were mere objects. They then attribute their actions to forces or things other than their own decisions, one of the popular ...

Impossibility Theory, An Advance over Mere Indeterminacy: By Werner Fredsenberg
Post Date: 2016-02-07 06:35:48 by Ada

Previously I have proved that life cannot have evolved. Today I will prove that life cannot exist. Let us begin with Samuel Johnson’s response when asked whether we have free will. He replied that all theory holds that we do not, all experience that we do. A similar paradox occurs in the realm of Impossibility Theory. Many things occur in biology that all science says are possible, while all common sense says that they are not. Consider the development of a barely-existent zygote into seven pounds of puzzled and alarmed baby. (“Where the hell is this?”) Anyone familiar with Murphy’s Law knows that it isn’t possible. Half an hour with a textbook of embryology ...

"Making A Murderer" isn't just a problem in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The Netfilx hit true-crime series “Making a Murderer” leaves many people wondering: Just how common is the story of a wrongful conviction in America’s criminal justice system? Too common, according a new report that tracks exonerations. Researchers found that 149 people were cleared in 2015 for crimes they didn't commit -- more than any other year in history, according to a report published Wednesday by the National Registry of Exonerations, a project of the University of Michigan Law School. By comparison, 139 people were exonerated in 2014. The number has risen most years since 2005, when ...
What species would become dominant on Earth if humans died out?

In a post-apocalyptic future, what might happen to life if humans left the scene? After all, humans are very likely to disappear long before the sun expands into a red giant and exterminates all living things from the Earth. Assuming that we don’t extinguish all other life as we disappear (an unlikely feat in spite of our unique propensity for driving extinction), history tells us to expect some pretty fundamental changes when humans are no longer the planet’s dominant animal species. So if we were given the chance to peek forward in time at the Earth some 50m years after our disappearance, what would we find? Which animal or group of animals would “take over” as the ...

Prior to the relaunch of Fox’s supernatural and conspiracy series The X Files, the normally secretive Central Intelligence Agency became less publicity shy, releasing documents and photos detailing their own top secret investigations into UFO sightings. On their blog, — yes, the CIA has a blog — the agency invited the world to “take a peek into our X Files,” providing photos and links to documents dating back to the early 50’s. “We’ve decided to highlight a few documents both skeptics and believers will find interesting.

The world's first robot-run farm will harvest 30,000 heads of lettuce daily

The Japanese lettuce production company Spread believes the farmers of the future will be robots. So much so that Spread is creating the world's first farm manned entirely by robots. Instead of relying on human farmers, the indoor Vegetable Factory will employ robots that can harvest 30,000 heads of lettuce every day. Don't expect a bunch of humanoid robots to roam the halls, however; the robots look more like conveyor belts with arms. They'll plant seeds, water plants, and trim lettuce heads after harvest in the Kyoto, Japan farm. "The use of machines and technology has been improving agriculture in this way throughout human history," J.J. Price, a spokesperson ...

Microsoft has announced a change to its support policy that lays out its plans for future updates to its older operating systems, and the new rules mean that future PC owners with next-generation Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm processors will need to use Windows 10. It's not usual for old PCs to fall short of the minimum requirements of a brand new operating system, but in this case, the ...

He asserted the necessity for colonization of other planets to ensure survival of the human species.According to the BBC, Hawking cautioned: “Although the ...
