Scientists discover 260 million-year-old Antarctica forest that existed long before dinosaurs Scientists have discovered prehistoric fossils in Antarctica that reveal that the frozen continent once had tree-filled forests. It is estimated that the trees grew around 260 million years ago – long before dinosaurs existed. The discovery was made by geologists Erik Gulbranson and John Isbell of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) while scaling the frozen peaks of the McIntyre Promontory […]

There have been a spate of deaths in India’s nuclear and atomic energy sector which are worrying but the government hasn’t given any security cover to the scientists working on its strategically important projects; in fact it describes the incidents as routine accidents and refuses to investigate any further. As per the latest data provided by in government of India’s Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), between 2009 and 2013, 11 […]

Washington: NASA’s New Horizon spacecraft has captured stunning coloured images of Pluto as it gets ready for a close flyby of the mysterious planet system on July 14. The images show two very different faces of the mysterious dwarf planet, one with a series of intriguing spots along the equator that are evenly-spaced. Each of the spots is about 480 km in diameter, with a surface area that is roughly […]

  Washington: If you like numbers, you will love March 14, 2015. When written as a date, it reads as 3/14/15 and corresponds to the first five digits of pi (3.1415) – a once-in-a-century coincidence! Make sure to note when the date and time spell out the first 10 digits of pi: 3.141592653. On 3/14/15 at 9.26.53 a.m., it was literally the most perfect “pi” time of the century. Pi […]

By Steven Bancarz|  I recently came across an article that I thought was interesting enough to share, and I think I may be able to provide proper scientific support for these claims for the very first time ever by presenting the original published study.  The timing of astral disembodiment in which the spirit leaves the body has allegedly been captured by Russian scientist Konstantin Korotkov, who photographed a person at […]

Life after death? Awareness may continue even after the brain has shut down completely, according to the largest ever medical study into near-death and out-of-body experiences. Scientists at the University of Southampton spent four years examining more than 2,000 people who suffered cardiac arrests at 15 hospitals in the UK, US and Austria. Nearly 40 per cent of people who survived described some kind of ‘awareness’ during the time when […]

India will soon be able to convert its plastic wastes into high-grade petrol and diesel, thanks to a breakthrough by researchers at the Dehradun-based Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP). The IIP, a constituent lab of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, has for the first time in the country developed a technology to convert plastic waste into petroleum products. The green technology is so far available only in Germany, […]

Scientists at the University of East Anglia say our cells have ancient ability Cells perform reactions from the origin of life 4 billion years ago Primordial soup theory suggests life began in a pond or ocean Energy such as lightning made the buildings blocks evolve into species Research shows mitochondria continue to perform similar actions today Parts of the primordial soup in which life arose have been maintained in our […]

Scientists used a DNA-snipping enzyme called Cas9 to cut out the virus The cell’s gene repair machinery then takes over, soldering the loose ends of the genome back together – resulting in a virus-free cell Process could also be a cure for other latent infections, researchers say ‘It’s an exciting discovery, but not ready to go into the clinic,’ said Dr Khalili Once HIV conquers a human cell, it will […]

Astral projections and out-of-body experiences, or what some people call “astral trips,” are rather common these days as while some experience it through near death experiences, psychedelic experiences or sensory deprivation, many are practices astral project on their own as it can be seen as a similar practice to meditation only with different end results. The Study Recently, and for the very first time, a team of scientists found someone […]
