Nikola Tesla did countless mysterious experiments, but he was a whole other mystery on his own. Almost all genius minds have a certain obsession. Nikola Tesla had a pretty big one!
He was walking around a block repeatedly for three times before e…
In a rare reversal, archaeologists have determined that a Maya book written almost 900 years ago is genuine — after decades of believing it was fake. The Grolier Codex was so named because it was first displayed in 1971 at the book lovers' Grolier Club…
Only decades into our “age of cosmology” — the moment when we earned the technological rights to peer deep into our cosmic home — we’ve learned that we live in a mega-palace of a universe. And we’ve also found something odd. We seem to be the only ones…
Solar energy and cosmic radiation have electrical influences over a multitude of human activities including human health. Mainstream science has begun to accept these effects, and to investigate the topic in a serious way, but the science itself is by …
Researchers are still unsure about the consciousness with questions about why we have it and how we have it always being asked.
One theory is that consciousness is made …

Physicists say they may have evidence that the universe is a computer simulation.
How? They made a computer simulation of the universe. And it looks sort of like us. A long-proposed thought experiment, put forward by both philosophers and po…
It took the latest observations of the universe and two independent teams of astronomers but finally, we found where the missing regular matter of the universe has been hiding. And no, it wasn’t behind the sofa.
We think the universe is made of r…
You can easily say that this instrument has both a past and a future. The astrolabe is not just a sophisticated ancient object.
It is also a very old complex astronomical computer created specifically to solve problems that have to do with the ti…
An unusual new feature has appeared on Neptune: a “dark vortex” so massive that it would swallow the United States if it was here on Earth.
“Dark vortices coast through the atmosphere like huge, lens-shaped gaseous mountains,” Berkeley research …
The stars are a database of information, from overcoming struggles, to forming healthy relationships, to improving your character, and so much more. This knowledge has been used since ancient times in various cultures, and now it has been passed to you…
For years, scientists have been baffled by a weird anomaly far away in space: a mysterious “Cold Spot” about 1.8 billion light-yea…
The further one regresses in time, the more obvious it becomes that the principal and Sunrise shows the beauty of naturesingular religious worship found around the globe has revolved around nature. This nature worship has incl…
When it comes to artificial intelligence, NASA and other space agencies are nowhere near building a"Terminator" in space. Thus, you can rest easy -- Arnold Schwarzenegger is not going to hunt you down because you are leading a rebellion against the mac…
Using the Hubble Space telescope and other observatories, astronomers have completed the most accurate census of galaxies in the observable universe to date. In terms of the actual number, let’s just say we were way the hell off.
The observable u…
Last month astronomers from the Kepler spacecraft team announced the discovery of 1,284 new planets, al…
Astrobiology is an interdisciplinary field, combining aspects of astronomy, biology and geology, which is focused primarily on the study of the origin, distribution and evolution of life. It comes from the Greek words astron = star, bios = life and log…
Galaxies come in three main shapes -- elliptical, spiral (such as the Milky Way) and irregular. They can be massive or small. To add to this mix, galaxies can also be blue or red. Blue galaxies are still actively forming stars. Red ones mostly are not …
If you had to pick the most famous number in the world, you would probably go for pi, right? But why? Despite being crucial to our understanding of circles, it's not a particularly easy number to work with, because it's literally impossible to know its…
Astrology is an occult practice that originated in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and China. The oldest records belong to the 2nd millennium BC and from the Old Babylonian period. However, Sumerians had some understanding of the subject as early as …
Three Earth-like exoplanets have been found orbiting a tiny star 40 light years away, scientists have revealed.
In what is being called a 'world first discovery' due to the atmospheres of these exoplanets being within the reach of telescopes fo…
Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) is one of the world’s most famous astronomers. He defended Copernicus’s sun-centred universe and discovered that planets move in ellipses. A planet, NASA mission and planet-hunting spacecraft are named after him.
Yet i…
What is time and why does time flow? Is it just an illusion? Answering these questions is still one of physics’ greatest challenges
“Time is what prevents everything happening at once.” Physicist John Wheeler’s statement is as fair a summary of w…
In new research featuring an alternative model of the expanding universe, scientists question the existence of dark energy. The new model, which accounts for the universe's structure, may change the future of physics research and solve the mystery of d…
