It's Official: Astronomers Have Discovered another Earth

NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope discovered an Earth-like planet circling a nearby star within the Goldilocks zone of our galaxy. Kepler-186f is around 500 light-years from Earth in the Cygnus constellation. The habitable zone, also identified as the Goldilocks zone, is the area around a star within which planetary-mass objects with enough atmospheric pressure can sustain liquid water at their surfaces.

While it has been projected that there are at least 40 billion Earth-sized planets circling in our Milky Way Galaxy, this specific finding is labelled the first Earth-sized planet to be discovered in the habitable zone of another star.

What does this mean?

In addition to Kepler-186f, there are 4 other planets that circle a nearby star within the Kepler-186f system. What this means is that if the neighbouring star to this planet is just like our Sun, then the likelihood of life on this planet exponentially increases.

“We know of only one planet where life survives – Earth. When we hunt for li…

‘Sea Of Plastic’ Discovered In The Caribbean Stretches Miles And Is Choking Wildlife

How often do you use plastic? If you compare to the average consumer, you might answer “every day.” Yes, items that contain plastic are convenient — and cheap. But, the manmade material is wreaking havoc on our planet. Images captured last year off the Honduran island of Roatan by photographer Caroline Power illuminate this fact.
The photos that follow were taken off an idyllic island that is usually compared to paradise. In the past few years, however, this image has been ruined by a “sea of plastic.” Once, the waters were clear and icy blue. Now, they are congested and filled with pollution.
Powers and a dive team passed through the floating trash for “nearly five miles.” In one area, the “sea of plastic” was merely two miles wide. Some of the items they found include broken footballs, soda bottles, toothbrushes, an abandoned television, and shoes.
In an email, Powers noted that the country of Honduras is not solely to blame for the river of plastic near its shores. She pointed out tha…

A Massive Object Devastated Uranus A Long Time Ago And It Never Fully Recovered

Our Solar System is a pretty calm place these days, all things considered, but that wasn’t always the case. In the period when the planets were still forming, collisions between various large bodies were common, and they ultimately helped shape the system that we see today. New research shows that Uranus, a chilly, hostile planet with a number of peculiar features, was the victim of a devastating impact during those early years, and it might explain some of the planet’s strange personality.

Uranus moves much differently than the other planets in our Solar System, spinning on its side in comparison to the rest of the worlds in our neighborhood. Astronomers have often wondered just how this happened, but simulations performed by scientists at Durham University’s Institute for Computational Cosmology might have finally produced the answer.
“We ran more than 50 different impact scenarios using a high-powered super computer to see if we could recreate the conditions that shaped the planet’s …

YouTube Star Logan Paul Vows to Prove Earth Is Flat By Visiting Antarctica

The controversial YouTuber joins a growing list of celebrities, including rapper B.o.B, who believe the Earth is flat, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. However, Mr Paul, 23, is not deterred and is so convinced the Earth is flat that he plans to trek across Antarctica in order to find the edge of our world.

Mr Paul was speaking to Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conference, ahead of the release of the irritating YouTube sensation’s documentary ‘The Flat Earth: To the Edge and Back.’ The older brother of fellow YouTube star Jake Paul told Mr Davidson:
“I am that guy that will make it to the edge.”
In the documentary, Mr Paul spoke at the Flat Earth International Conference in Denver and told the crowd:

“I’m not ashamed to say my name is Logan Paul and I think I’m coming out of the Flat Earth closet. If I'm going to put my name out there (as a Flat Earth supporter), I want to know the facts. The fact that we haven't been to the moon in over 50 y…

Leading Anti-Vax Politician Who Voted Against Vaccination Bill Is Hospitalized With Chicken Pox

An italian politician who voted against an anti-vaccine bill has spent time in hospital after catching the chicken pox. Massimiliano fedriga, who is the governor of the friuli venezia giulia region and a member of the right-wing northern league party, has had to spend four days under observation at the udine hospital.
The 38-year-old politician argued against the lorenzin decree, a law which would have made vaccination mandatory for children before they begin school. Fedriga has expressed vocal opposition to the introduction of mandatory childhood vaccinations against 12 diseases. This included chickenpox. Despite this, fedriga has said he is not an anti-vaxxer himself, having made sure to vaccinate his own children.

After being discharged from hospital, fedriga wrote the following message on social media:

''I’m fine, i’m at home in convalescence and i thank everyone,''

Fedriga has received some ridicule on social media after the nature of his illness became public, with …

Breaking: Scientists Have Reversed Time with a Quantum Computer

Time: it's constantly running out and we never have enough of it. Some say it’s an illusion, some say it flies like an arrow. Well, this arrow of time is a big headache in physics. Why does time have a particular direction? And can such a direction be reversed?
A new study, published in Scientific Reports, is providing an important point of discussion on the subject. An international team of researchers has constructed a time-reversal program on a quantum computer, in an experiment that has huge implications for our understanding of quantum computing. Their approach also revealed something rather important: the time-reversal operation is so complex that it is extremely improbable, maybe impossible, for it to happen spontaneously in nature. As far as laws of physics go, in many cases, there’s nothing to stop us going forward and backward in time. In certain quantum systems it is possible to create a time-reversal operation. Here, the team crafted a thought experiment based on a real…

Praying Mantis Perfectly Preserved In Amber Was Between 23-34 Million Years Old

There is an incredible natural process in which insects and even animals can become entombed in tree sap that eventually becomes amber, keeping them frozen in time forever. This real phenomenon was highlighted and popularized by the blockbuster film Jurassic Park, where a scientist character was able to extract dinosaur blood from mosquitos that were trapped in amber.

In 2016, a small praying mantis that was perfectly intact in a piece of amber was sold through Heritage Auctions for $6,000. The incredible piece was discovered somewhere in the Dominican Republic. Heritage Auctions estimates that this piece dates back to the Oligocene period, which means that it is anywhere between 23 million and 33.9 million years old.

According to the auction description from a similar sale:

“This present specimen boasts one of the rarest and most sought after of all inclusions; the Praying Mantis. When found at all, these ferocious insects are usually distorted or lacking limbs due to their fearful str…

YouTuber Successfully Completes Flat-Earther’s $100,000 Challenge, Flat-Earther Refuses To Pay

Flat Earthers have been out of the headlines lately, but don't worry, they're still there, quietly choosing to ignore all scientific evidence that shows the Earth is a globe and getting angry on social media. And so, to YouTube where a user calling himself Flat Out Hero has offered $100,000 (which he absolutely definitely has, of course) to anyone who could offer him proof that Earth isn't flat.
The video was captioned: "It's impossible, but don't tell the globetards that! This is the final nail in the ball earth coffin, and I am happy to be the one to hammer it in!!!" It also saw him call out fellow YouTuber Wolfie6020 as he laid out the challenge.
So, what is this challenge? Well, he requested that Wolfie use flight charts to navigate a plane from Point A to Point B and from Point B to Point C, before heading home, making sure that the exact same distance is flown between each point and that only 90 degree turns are made.

Sounds confusing AF to me, but Wol…

Harrison Ford: "Stop Giving Power to People Who Don't Believe in Science"

Celebrities often use their platforms to spread awareness on important issues. But while many of us have become numb to their warnings, there's something about Harrison Ford that makes people sit up and listen. Maybe it's the cult following he's acquired from playing heroic characters like Indiana Jones and Han Solo.

More likely, though, it's because Ford doesn't tiptoe around important issues, he charges through them with guns blazing. Speaking at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco this week, the 76-year-old actor and tireless climate activist issued a sober warning: "If we don't change the path that we are on today, the future of humanity is at stake".

The actor's stern statement is followed by a long sigh. And with that one heavy breath, you can almost feel the actor's exasperation. For nearly 27 years, Ford has been working for the environmental group Conservation International, which supports scientists from around the world …

80-Year-Old Man Hasn’t Watered This Sealed Bottle Garden Since 1972 And It’s Still Alive

In a beautiful example of a closed but functional ecosystem, David Latimer has grown a garden sealed inside a giant glass bottle that he has only opened once since he started it almost 60 years ago. Latimer planted the terrarium garden on Easter Sunday in 1960. He placed some compost and a quarter pint of water into a 10-gallon glass carboy and inserted a spiderwort sprout, which is not typically an indoor plant, using wires.
In 1972, he opened the plant terrarium again to add a bit of water. With that one exception, the garden has remained sealed – all it needs is plenty of sunlight!
It might seem strange to some that a sealed terrarium plants garden would thrive like this, but it’s not – the garden is a perfectly self-sufficient ecosystem.
The bacteria in the compost eats the dead plants and break down the oxygen given off by the plants, turning it into the carbon dioxide for photosynthesis that the plants need to survive. The bottle is an excellent micro version of the earth as a w…
