Aliens May Well Exist in a Parallel Universe, New Studies Find
Aliens May Well Exist in a Parallel Universe, New Studies Find
By Brandon Specktor, Senior Writer
Could alien life exist in a parallel universe? Computer simulations from two new studies suggest the idea might not be out of this world.

Should the search for alien life in our universe come up empty-handed, it might be worth checking in on a neighboring universe instead.
According to a new pair of studies in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, there’s a decent chance that life-fostering planets could exist in a parallel universe — even if that universe were being torn apart by dark energy.
The idea that our universe is just one of many, perhaps infinite, other universes is known as the multiverse theory. Scientists have previously thought that such parallel universes, if they exist, would have to meet an extremely strict set of criteria to allow for the formation of stars, galaxies and life-fostering planets like those seen in our own universe. [5 Reasons We May Live in a Multiverse]
In the new study, researchers ran a massive computer simulation to build new universes under various starting conditions. They found that the conditions for life might be a little broader than previously thought — especially when it comes to the mysterious pull of dark energy.
Dark energy
Dark energy is a mysterious, invisible force thought to exist in the empty spaces of our universe. You could think about it as the archnemesis of gravity; while gravity pulls matter closer together, dark energy flings it apart — and dark energy is winning this cosmic tug-of-war handily.
Not only is our universe expanding, thanks to the constant, invisible push of dark energy, but the rate of that expansion is also getting faster and faster every day. It's thought that, as more empty space appears in the universe, even more dark energy appears to fill it. (Dark energy is not the same as dark matter, which is an abundant, invisible form of matter thought to be responsible for some very weird gravitational phenomenaaround space.)
Scientists don't know exactly what dark energy is or how it works; some think it's an intrinsic property of space — what Einstein called the cosmological constant — while others attribute it to a fundamental force called quintessence, with dynamic rules all its own. Others don't even agree that it exists. But whatever it is, everyone can agree that there's a whole lot of it: According to the best current estimates, nearly 70 percent of the mass-energy of our universe may be made of dark energy.
This quantity, for whatever reason, is in the right range to allow galaxies to grow and foster life. It is thought that if we lived in a universe with too much dark energy, space might expand faster than galaxies could possibly form. Too little dark energy, and runaway gravity could cause every galaxy to collapse in on itself before life ever had a chance to appear.
But the question of how much dark energy is "too much" or "too little" is a topic for debate — and it's this issue of quantity that the authors of the new studies hoped to narrow down.
Life finds a way
Across several experiments, an international team of researchers from England, Australia and the Netherlands used a program called Evolution and Assembly of Galaxies and their Environmentsto simulate the birth, life and eventual death of various hypothetical universes. In each simulation, the researchers adjusted the amount of dark energy present in that universe, ranging from none to several hundred times the amount in our own universe.
The good news: Even in universes with 300 times as much dark energy as ours, life found a way.
"Our simulations showed that the accelerated expansion driven by dark energy has hardly any impact on the birth of stars, and hence places for life to arise," study co-author Pascal Elahi, a research fellow at the University of Western Australia, said in a statement. "Even increasing dark energy many hundreds of times might not be enough to make a dead universe."
That's good news for fans of extraterrestrial life and the multiverse theory. But a bigger question remains: If galaxies could still thrive on so much dark energy, why did our universe get handed such a seemingly small amount?
"I think we should be looking for a new law of physics to explain this strange property of our Universe," co-author Richard Bower, a professor at Durham University's Institute for Computational Cosmology, said in the statement.
Of course, finding new laws of physics is easier said than done. Scientists won't give up easily — but perhaps, to hedge their bets, they should also look for a parallel universe where some intelligent life has already done it for them.
The History Of The Ancient Roman Empire Written Down In The Arctic
The History Of The Ancient Roman Empire Written Down In The Arctic
Without a reason of doubt, the ancient Roman empire left its mark in history.
“We found that lead pollution in Greenland very closely tracked known plagues, wars, social unrest and imperial expansions during European antiquity.”
From majestic roads, sanitation, to education systems, the ancient Roman Empire made sure it would remain forever in the history books.
Now, researchers exploring Arctic Ice sheets have found traces of the rise and fall of the Roman empire embedded in ice.
Experts have managed to track the Roman Empire’s economic ups and downs, due to the empire’s increased coin-making production, which experts found preserved for centuries after their collapse, in Greenland’s Ice Sheet.
Scientists say that most of the lead emissions of the period are linked to the massive production of silver.
As experts explain, pollution from the lead mines of the ancient Roman empire that boomed during the expansion of the empire drifted all the way to the ice sheets of Greenland. It is believed that lead emissions were preserved thanks to falling snow, which computed in layers and layers of ice.
Speaking about the discovery Joe McConnell, a hydrologist at the Desert Research Institute said:
“Our record of sub-annually resolved, accurately dated measurements in the ice core starts in 1100 BC during the late Iron Age and extends through antiquity and late antiquity to the early Middle Ages in Europe – a period that included the rise and fall of the Greek and Roman civilizations.”
“We found that lead pollution in Greenland very closely tracked known plagues, wars, social unrest and imperial expansions during European antiquity.” These ancient traces have now been identified by experts, surviving thousands of years after the fall of the Roman empire.
Ice Cores extracted by scientists in Greenland have offered an unprecedented and unique vision of the past, allowing experts to go back in time, and understand how pollution left behind by the empire through thousands of years influenced not only Europe but the Arctic ice Sheet as well.
“We found that lead pollution in Greenland very closely tracked known plagues, wars, social unrest and imperial expansions during European antiquity,” said Professor McConnell.
Researchers from different fields participated in the study. From experts in hydrology, ice-core specialists, to economic historians, experts gathered to find never-before-seen details about the Roman Empire.
The new study offers a historical record that includes more than 21,000 lead and other chemical measurements.
Experts found that lead pollution emissions began rising around 900 BC, as the ancient Phoenicians began expanding their prosperous trading routes into the Mediterranean. Furthermore, lead emissions are believed to have increased due to mining activity by the ancient Carthaginians and Romans, mostly in the Iberian Peninsula, reaching its zenith during the Roman Empire.
Experts have linked lead emissions to significant historical events.
Researchers found that lead emissions reached an all-time low during the last 80 years of the Roman Republic, known historically as the Crisis of the Roman Republic.
“The nearly four-fold higher lead emissions during the first two centuries of the Roman Empire compared to the last decades of the Roman Republic indicate substantial economic growth under Imperial rule,” said coauthor Andrew Wilson, Professor of the Archaeology of the Roman Empire at Oxford.
As noted by the Independent, “the new study carried out by Dr. McConnell and his team used state-of-the-art simulations of lead pollution’s transport in the atmosphere to work out the scale on which mining and smelting operations in Europe were taking place.”
Furthermore, scientists also discovered how lead emissions varied during wars and political unrest, particularly during the Roman Republic. Experts also found how lead emissions took sharp dives when two notable plagues struck the Roman Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
Space is a dirty place, so the ISS needs some lasers to blast it clean, researchers propose.
The International Space Station. Image credits NASA.
If you’re a fan of Sci-Fi, we’re in luck — an international group of scientists wants to see our most burning desire made real. They propose to install a laser defense system aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to blast at litter in the near-Earth orbit.
My kinda cleaning
The idea of ‘arming’ the ISS with laser batteries isn’t new but we’re just now getting to a place where we can develop systems compact and reliable enough to be practical aboard the station. To jump-start development, an international team of researchers from France, Italy, Japan, and Russia is pooling their efforts, according to Boris Shustov, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).
The system they’re considering would consist of orbital lasers aboard the ISS. It should be effective against the most common type of space debris around Earth — pieces that only measure a few centimeters.
The idea was first proposed by Japanese researchers back in 2015. The original project draft envisioned lasers using 10,000 optical fiber channels and would draw all of the ISS’s electrical output to work at full capacity, according to the team. That, understandably, isn’t a particularly attractive defensive system. The new project aims to provide the same power output by using 100 “thin rods” in lieu of the optical fibers. This would reduce the overall energy drain to only 5% of the ISS’s output — a twenty-fold decrease.
This version of the laser system would allow the ISS to fire laser bursts for 10 seconds, up to a range of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), with a recharge time of 200 seconds, according to Russian media. The whole system would weigh about 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds).
It’s a small price to pay, considering the benefits such a system would provide. The ISS still has to make routine adjustments to its orbit to avoid collisions with pieces of man-made junk. These bits are parts of former rockets or spacecraft that have been broken up into small pieces through mutual collisions over the years, or from the effects of space radiation.
They’re quite small, going very fast, and can have disastrous consequences to the ISS’s structural integrity should they hit. There’s also a lot of them. NASA is currently tracking about 17,000 pieces about the size of your fist and half a million pieces roughly the size of a marble. According to their estimates, there are over 200 million pieces over one millimeter in size still floating in Earth’s orbit at speeds in excess of 17,500 mph (over 28.100 km/h).
An impact with any single one of those fragments could jeopardize the ISS and its crew.
Are octopuses aliens? New study argues ‘frozen eggs’ came from space. Source: Getty
It suggests “life was seeded here on Earth by life-bearing comets” as soon as it became possible for life forms to survive – and that octopuses arrived in a similar way about 270 million years ago.
The idea of alien life spreading like “seeds” through space isn’t new – the theory is known as Panspermia.
But the authors point to new DNA evidence about octopuses.
The first full genome sequence of octopus DNA in 2015 showed that octopuses are totally different from all other animals – and their genome shows a striking level of complexity with 33,000 protein-coding genes identified, more than in a human.

The paper says, “The genome of the Octopus shows a staggering level of complexity with 33,000 protein-coding genes more than is present in Homo sapiens.
“It is plausible then to suggest they seem to be borrowed from a far distant ‘future’ in terms of terrestrial evolution, or more realistically from the cosmos at large.
“One plausible explanation, in our view, is that the new genes are likely new } extraterrestrial imports to Earth – most plausibly as an already coherent group of functioning genes within [say] cryopreserved and matrix protected fertilized Octopus eggs.”

33 wetenschappers suggereren dat octopussen uit de ruimte komen. Zijn we allemaal aliens?
Octopussen zijn mogelijk via kometen naar de aarde gekomen, zo stellen 33 wetenschappers in een nieuw onderzoek dat is gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology.
Het onderzoek suggereert dat kometen verantwoordelijk zijn voor het ontstaan van leven op aarde en dat octopussen zo’n 270 miljoen jaar geleden naar onze planeet zijn gekomen.
Deze theorie staat bekend als panspermie, dat het leven verspreid in het heelal voorkomt en niet op de aarde zelf is ontstaan.
Totaal anders
Volgens de wetenschappers bewijst het DNA van octopussen dat ze niet op aarde zijn geëvolueerd.
In 2015 bleek dat het DNA van octopussen totaal anders is dan dat van andere dieren. Er werden maar liefst 33.000 verschillende eiwitten geïdentificeerd in het DNA van de octopus, veel meer dan mensen hebben.
De octopus is zelfs niet te vergelijken met andere weekdieren in de zee door zijn acht poten, het grote brein en het hoge IQ waardoor hij zelf problemen kan oplossen.
Geïmporteerd
“Het is aannemelijk dat die eiwitten zijn ontleend aan een verre ‘toekomst’ in termen van aardse evolutie, of realistischer: aan de kosmos,” klinkt het.
“Een aannemelijke verklaring is dat de nieuwe genen zijn geïmporteerd naar de aarde in de vorm van bevroren octopus-eitjes,” aldus de wetenschappers.

Het Pentagon blijkt erg geïnteresseerd te zijn in zaken die grenzen aan sciencefiction en zelfs het paranormale. Denk daarbij aan de warp drive, het manipuleren van extra dimensies, donkere energie en exotische vormen van ruimtereizen.
De documenten zijn boven water gehaald door het I-Team van journalist George Knapp van Channel 8 News, dat al tientallen jaren onderzoek doet naar de link tussen de overheid en UFO’s.
De Amerikaanse militaire inlichtingendienst DIA liet onder meer onderzoek doen naar een manier van aandrijving die sneller reizen dan het licht mogelijk moest maken.
Extra dimensies
Daarnaast werd onderzoek gedaan naar antizwaartekracht en ‘gebieden waar de ruimtetijd was veranderd’. Het gaat daarbij om het manipuleren van de ruimtetijd van het vacuüm van de ruimte.
Tijdens een tweede studie werd gekeken naar donkere energie en extra dimensies.
“Het idee dat met behulp van een voldoende geavanceerde technologie de controle kan worden verkregen over de hogere dimensies is aanlokkelijk, en moet zeker nader worden onderzocht,” klonk het.
Geen verklaring
“Deze studies zitten bomvol informatie,” citeerde Channel 8 senator Harry Reid, die de financiering van de onderzoeken regelde.
“We hebben in de afgelopen decennia geleerd dat er veel dingen gebeuren waar geen verklaring voor is,” zei hij. “Nu wel.”
Veel verder
De documenten laten zien dat de Amerikaanse overheid veel verder ging dan het interpreteren en documenteren van UFO-waarnemingen.
Je kunt je nu afvragen wat ze nog meer hebben onderzocht (en wat nog niet naar buiten is gebracht).
NIEUWE WETENSCHAPPELIJK ONDERZOEK ZEGT: OCTOPUS BUITENAARDS ( VIDEO )
NIEUWE WETENSCHAPPELIJK ONDERZOEK ZEGT: OCTOPUS BUITENAARDS ( VIDEO )
Misschien herinneren mensen zich nog wel Paul, de octopus die in 2010 grote bekendheid kreeg vanwege zijn gave om voetbalwedstrijden te kunnen voorspellen.
En dat is misschien helemaal niet zo vreemd, want een nieuw wetenschappelijk onderzoekt stelt dat de octopus een buitenaardse oorsprong heeft.
Wanneer je naar een octopus kijkt dan zie je een wezen dat er vreemd uitziet en in niets lijkt op welk ander dier op deze planeet.
Een nieuw wetenschappelijk onderzoek stelt dat de octopus miljoenen jaren geleden als een bevroren ei naar de aarde is gekomen door middel van kometen. (Redactie: Dat lijkt de standaard verklaring voor fenomenen die niet te verklaren zijn voor wetenschappers.)
Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd door 33 wetenschappers die de resultaten hebben gepubliceerd in het zogenaamde peer-reviewed journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology.
Zij komen tot de conclusie dat leven hier op aarde is ontstaan door wat zij noemen “levendragende” kometen. Dit gebeurde op een moment dat de atmosfeer op aarde geschikt was om leven te kunnen herbergen en dat was zo’n 270 miljoen jaar geleden, volgens hen.
Een van de levensvormen die zo van buiten de aarde op onze planeet terecht is gekomen, zou de octopus zijn, een dier met 3 harten, 9 stel hersenen en blauw bloed.
Ook het DNA van een octopus is heel bijzonder omdat onderzoek dat in 2015 werd uitgevoerd, aantoont dat dit compleet verschillend is van andere dieren. De genen van een octopus zijn zeer gecompliceerd en het DNA van de octopus bevat 33.000 proteïne gecodeerde genen, meer dan in het DNA van een mens.
De wetenschappers gaan dan verder met te stellen dat het heel goed mogelijk is dat de octopus afkomstig is uit de toekomst, van een sterrenstelsel waar men qua ontwikkeling al veel verder is dan op aarde.
Het dier beschikt in ieder geval over een buitenaardse intelligentie zo te zien:
Misschien toch iets om over na te denken de eerstvolgende keer dat je naar een sushi restaurant gaat.
Scot Waring heeft een beter idee: In plaats van deze dieren te eten, moeten we een manier zien te vinden om met hen te communiceren. De navolgende video is werkelijk fascinerend en een aanrader om te bekijken.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETHet heelal was nog maar 250 miljoen jaar jong toen er al sterren werden gevormd. Dat hebben wetenschappers vastgesteld aan de hand van een ver verwijderd sterrenstelsel. Volgens een mededeling van de Europese Zuidelijke Sterrenwacht ESO werd ook nog nooit zo ver van ons vandaan zuurstof gedetecteerd.
Astronomen loerden met de ALMA-telescoop naar het verre sterrenstelsel MACS1149-JD1. Daarbij ontdekten ze een zeer zwakke gloed, afkomstig van geïoniseerd zuurstof in het stelsel.
Tegen de tijd dat ALMA het infrarode licht had gedetecteerd, was de golflengte ervan door de uitdijing van het heelal met meer dan een factor tien uitgerekt. Daaruit leidden de wetenschappers af dat de gloed 13,3 miljard jaar geleden, oftewel 500 miljoen jaar na de Oerknal, werd uitgezonden. En daarmee is het de verste zuurstof die ooit met een telescoop werd gedetecteerd.
De afstand tot het sterrenstelsel zoals die uit deze waarneming afgeleid werd, komt overeen met de afstand op basis van de zuurstofdetectie. Dat maakt MACS1149-JD1 tot het verste sterrenstelsel waarvan de afstand nauwkeurig bekend is, zegt de ESO.
Tot een hele tijd na de Big Bang was er geen zuurstof in het heelal. Dat element is pas gevormd bij de fusieprocessen zoals die in de eerste sterren plaatsvonden. Het kwam vrij toen de sterren op explosieve wijze stierven. De detectie van zuurstof in MACS1149-JD1 geeft aan dat deze eerdere generaties van sterren slechts 500 miljoen jaar na de Oerknal al gevormd waren en hun zuurstof hadden uitgestoten. (lees hieronder verder)
AFPGalaxy MACS1149-JD1 is 13,28 miljard lichtjaren van ons verwijderd.
Om het precieze tijdstip van de stervorming te achterhalen reconstrueerde het team wetenschappers de vroege geschiedenis van MACS1149-JD1 met behulp van infraroodgegevens die met de Amerikaans-Europese Hubble Ruimtetelescoop en de Spitzer-ruimtetelescoop van de NASA zijn verzameld. Daarbij ontdekten de astronomen dat de waargenomen helderheid van het sterrenstelsel goed wordt verklaard door een model waarbij de stervorming slechts 250 miljoen jaar na het ontstaan van het heelal is begonnen.
Geboorte
“Met deze nieuwe waarnemingen van MACS1149-JD1 is de directe waarneming van de geboorte van het sterlicht een stapje dichterbij gekomen. Omdat wij allemaal uit bewerkte stermaterie bestaan, zijn we daarmee ook dichter bij onze eigen oorsprong gekomen”, zo citeert de ESO Richard Ellis van het University College Londen (UCL).
When former The Simpsons guest star Stephen Hawking passed in March, he left behind a lifetime worth of invaluable contributions to the world of theoretical astrophysics. Aside from his distinguished life’s work, Hawking left behind his last unpublished paper which simplifies the mind-bending concept of the multiverse by reaching the conclusion that there exists a finite number of universes and they all share the same laws of physics. How did Hawking reach this conclusion? For one, he performed decades of careful mathematical calculations, of course. Yet an odd detail from his memorial service set to be held in June could suggest Hawking had help from the future.
When the first details about Hawking’s memorial service were made public, tens of thousands of people from over 50 countries applied for admission. At the service, Hawking’s ashes will be interred between the remains of Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. While filling out the ballot for the service, one applicant noticed that the birth date field on the application allows any date can be chosen up to December 31, 2038. Are the service’s organizers expecting visitors from the future?
Wormholes have long been suggested as a possible means of traveling through time.
When asked about the odd date choices, a spokesman for the Stephen Hawking Foundation said they are leaving the possibility of time travelers open just in case:
We cannot exclude the possibility of time travel as it has not been disproven to our satisfaction. All things are possible until proven otherwise. But so far we have had applications from all round the world, and we do mean round – there are no flat-Earthers here.
This isn’t the first time a Hawking-related event invited time travelers from a future time. Hawking hosted a “time traveler party” complete with champagne and hors d’ouvres in 2009, hoping someone from the future might show up. Unfortunately, no one did, causing Hawking to remark that this was evidence time travel was not possible. But why would a true time traveler want to put herself under public scrutiny like that? If they’re here, they’re certainly blending in the best they can. Except Elon Musk – that guy’s way too obvious.
Another staple plot device of science fiction may soon be crossing the line into science. Researchers at UCLA have successfully transferred memory from one creature’s brain to another. Is this the solution to finding out where a criminal hid the money?
This revolutionary discovery appears in the current edition of the journal eNeuro. UCLA neurobiologist David Glanzman did not accept the commonly held belief that memories are stored in brain synapses and decided to look for an alternative memory storage locker. He speculated that one existed in RNA (ribonucleic acid), the messenger service for DNA inside cells. To test this theory, Glanzman used electrical shocks to train Aplysia californica to respond defensively when jolted in a certain area.
Aplysia what? OK, the test subjects in this experiment were California sea hares, the giant foot-long hermaphrodite marine snails found along the US Pacific coast. What do giant snails have to remember besides where they parked their shells? Actually, Aplysia californica are favorite lab subjects of neuroscientists because, while their bodies are slow, their brains are quite fast. And with only about 20,000 neurons in them (humans have 100 billion), sea hare brains are easy to study and map.
Aplysia californica sea hare
After training one set of snails to respond when shocked in their siphon (the water intake tube snails use for locomotion, feeding, respiration, and reproduction) and setting up a control group with their siphons wired but not receiving shocks, Glanzman’s team extracted RNA from their brains and injected them into other snails. When tested, the snails receiving RNA from the trained donors had the same reflexive responses while those getting control group RNA did not.
“If memories were stored at synapses, there is no way our experiment would have worked.”
Snail anatomy
That’s important because synapses are not permanent while some memories are. Or at least they are until a person has Alzheimer’s disease, post-traumatic stress disorder or other brain problems. While he doesn’t explain how in the study nor the press release from UCLA, Glanzman believes that this RNA transfer can revive lost memories or those that have been shut down by disease.
Of course, it’s a long way from snails to humans (in most cases) and there are still many neuroscientists who are sticking with the ‘memory resides in synapses’ side. But Glanzman’s research is a start. His next step is to identify which specific types of RNA can be used to perform successful memory transfers.
Until then, remember this – Shocked In The Siphon would be a great name for a band.
UFOs seem to be attracted to volcanoes like flies to potato salad that’s been sitting in the hot sun all afternoon, so it was only a matter of time before one was spotted over Kilauea on Hawaii’s Big Island as it grows and spreads its lava outward. The wait is over as an individual has posted a photo of what he claims is a UFO over the volcano. Is it a spacecraft emerging, a drone observing or a bug bugging out before things get worse?
Pedro Ramirez is a self-described ufologist (per his Facebook page) from Mexico City. He posted his image of the alleged UFO over Kilauea on that page and in a video (of the still photo) on YouTube and it has since been picked up by various news and UFO sites like C. UFO M (Centro Ufologico Mediterraneo). He identifies the location where the photo was taken as the Punalu’u beach Black Sand Beach and the photographer was facing towards Kilauea, which is seen in the background with an “oval UFO” above it. In this case, the “photographer” was not Ramirez but a Google vehicle taking pictures for Google Maps.
Without even looking at the UFO under magnification, that’s where the story begins to fall apart. The Google Maps photo had to have been taken long before Kilauea’s latest eruption last week. This could have been months or even years ago. That means there’s no photographer to question about the date, time, speed, was it witnessed or found later, and other pertinent information. All that can be ascertained from the first glance at the photo is that it doesn’t seem to be a rock expelled from the volcano.
So, what is it? Ramirez says in the video post that the object stays solid under magnification (magnified photos are in the video) so he believes it’s solid. That’s quite a leap. That fact that it appears to be an oval with nothing sticking out of it moves speculation away from a drone or a bird, but doesn’t rule out the infamous speck of dirt on the lens. It’s also unclear from the photo if the UFO was moving or stationary.
Ramirez’s claim of “a wave of reports of unidentified objects have arrived from the Island” may be true, but the Google photo doesn’t appear to be one of them. Unfortunately, other photos or videos haven’t seemed to surface yet so his is getting all of the attention and scrutiny. The theory that UFOs seen at volcanoes are aliens in spacecraft observing, possibly protecting or potentially refueling might apply at Kilauea, but the idea that volcanoes are doorways for ships to enter underground bases may not hold up here since Kilauea is a flattened ‘shield’ volcano and the openings are more like fissures than wide lava mouths.
With just a Google Maps photo to go on, the needle on this one is leaning towards drone, dirt or camera anomaly. Let’s hope this doesn’t make fire goddess Pele angry.

On May 15, 2018 Sunny3 films the clouds over Vero Beach Florida when suddenly a partial cloaked object becomes visible, despite all the clouds moving in the opposite direction, the object flies towards Sunny 3.
Then the object went into a cloud and she couldn’t see it anymore, realizing after the fact that it might have been something and should have stayed focused on it.
I have always wondered about octopus. Are they aliens? An animal that can change colors instantly to hide itself in the background. An animal with 3 hearts, 9 brains and blue blood! I always figured it was alien and unable to communicate with us. Instead, humans catch them and eat them. They are incredibly intelligent, we just need to find a form of communication to speak to them. Scott C. Waring News states:
A controversial science paper has argued just that, suggesting that octopuses may have arrived on our planet as frozen eggs carried here in comets. The paper, by 33 scientists (some with reputations as mavericks) is published in the peer-reviewed journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, Cosmos magazine reports. It suggests that ‘life was seeded here on Earth by life-bearing comets’ as soon as it became possible for life forms to survive – and that octopuses arrived in a similar way about 270 million years ago.

This strange craft was seen and recorded in the sky above Medford, Oregon.
Witness report:
At the Medford airport. Looked up it was hovering and then flew a straight path hovered and 90 degree change in flight path. Me and 4 other guys were sitting outside at work watching a thunderstorm pass by. One guy said what is that. We looked up and saw a black cylinder hovering above us to the NW about 1000 to 2000 feet. It hovered there for a minute or so. I ran and grab my phone and started to video record it. It flew in a level path to the NNE, I am guessing about 1/2 mile and came to a hover while maintaining the same altitude. Hovered for a second ( when I zoomed in on the video recording I noticed a flash of red on top. Very faint.). Then did a 90 degree turn and flew to the NW. Once on the NW path you could see it accelerate while maintaining the same altitude, and it flew out of my sight. I recorded it for 3 minuets. It was black and did not make any sound that I could hear. There was an airplane running on the ground so I could not hear much. It was a great siting and I am glad I was able to record it. I was very excited to witness this amazing sight. I am a firm believer and believe we are not alone. I am a helicopter pilot and know about flight. I was very excited to share this experience with my friends and colleagues. I even shared it with my wife (who is not a believer) and she couldn’t explain it. Always keep your eyes up!
For almost two decades, researchers have suspected liquid water lies below the icy shell of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. Now, a new study in Nature Astronomy not only proves they were right, but also confirms that it does something more awesome than they could have imagined: it shoots up out of the crust in big, beautiful plumes.
Liquid water is, more or less, what NASA looks for when it decides what celestial body to explore next. That’s because water is thought to be one of the necessities for life, because, let’s be real, finding life on other planets is pretty much the whole reason humans are so fascinated by space in the first place. And while NASA already has plans to explore Europa, this is the most heartening sign of life that planetary scientists have been waiting for.
Even crazier? We’ve had the data proving that the plumes exist since 1997. Galileo, the spacecraft sent to gather information about Jupiter and its moons that plunged to its demise in 2003, collected it way back then, but scientists have only just now gotten around to analyzing the truly monumental pile of data.
Xianzhe Jia, a planetary scientist at the University of Michigan, heard astronomers suspected the plumes sat on the moon’s equator, but couldn’t get a good look at them with the Hubble Space Telescope, he told NPR. Jia, however, had worked with Galileo’s data when he was a graduate student, so he had a good sense for the kind of data the probe typically collected. When Jia and his team sifted through the observations of plasma and magnetic wave fluctuations Galileo picked up on Europa, Jia and his team were able to confirm that, yes, the geysers did, in fact, exist.
That’s particularly exciting because it also suggests that Europa may have an energy source propelling the water skyward. That’s another requirement for life that might be checked off the list — in fact, some scientists theorize that life on Earth started in the deep sea vents that erupt in geysers.
For the most part, NASA doesn’t bother searching for life in solid water (that is, in ice) because molecules don’t flow as freely. But researchers suspected that Europa may have lakes under its icy crust that made it worthy of investigation. That’s why NASA has already spent years planning the Europa Clipper to investigate the moon for liquid.
The geysers make the mission’s job much easier. Not only do the plumes suggest that subsurface ocean likely exists, but it also means the Clipper, and any future mission, can just fly through the spewing mist for a sample, instead of hacking through the icy crust.
Now that we have the geysers to sail through, some of Clipper’s gear, like the instruments meant to detect the tiniest traces of water in the atmosphere, might not be as useful as NASA thought it would be. Otherwise, Clipper will be taking full advantage of the waterworks. A radar device will look past the ice for hidden lakes, and the craft will also learn how deep and salty the water is based on the moon’s magnetic field.
Clipper isn’t slated to launch until the 2020s. That might seem far away, but new information about the geysers may give NASA a chance to reconfigure the scientific tools and goals of the spacecraft. And now that the geysers have whet our thirst for more information, whatever Clipper finds will be worth the wait.
It’s an amazing time to be alive. Consider this: humans have sent a man-made spacecraft around each and every planet in the solar system, as well as some of their moons. Although billions of miles might separate Earth from other planets in the solar system, and despite everything being in motion, we’ve managed this extraordinary feat.
No other planet has been more visited by our contraptions than Mars. We’ve sent orbiters, landers, and even 4×4 labs on wheels to the Red Planet. Now, for the first time, NASA wants to send a helicopter to Mars, which is meant to fly in very rarefied Martian atmosphere.
“Exploring the Red Planet with NASA’s Mars Helicopter exemplifies a successful marriage of science and technology innovation and is a unique opportunity to advance Mars exploration for the future,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, Associate Administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at the agency headquarters in Washington. “After the Wright Brothers proved 117 years ago that powered, sustained, and controlled flight was possible here on Earth, another group of American pioneers may prove the same can be done on another world.”
The little helicopter measures just one-meter long in rotor diameter, and its body is about the size of a small cat. It took four years of testing and tweaking to make the first prototype of the Mars-bound helicopter.
One of the biggest challenges was figuring out how to build a helicopter that can fly in an atmosphere that’s about a thousand times thinner than on Earth. Just imagine that hovering just 10 feet (3 m) above the Martian surface is like soaring at 100,000 feet (30,000 m) above Earth. The highest a helicopter has ever flown is 40,000 feet (12,000 m), where the air becomes too thin to keep helicopters aloft.
“To make it fly at that low atmospheric density, we had to scrutinize everything, make it as light as possible while being as strong and as powerful as it can possibly be,” said Mimi Aung, Mars Helicopter project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The Martian helicopter also features another innovation: it’s powered by solar cells that charge lithium batteries. Meanwhile, internal heating mechanisms will keep the flying machine warm through the frigid Martian night.
NASA’s Mars Helicopter, a small, autonomous rotorcraft, will travel with the agency’s Mars 2020 rover, currently scheduled to launch in July 2020, to demonstrate the viability and potential of heavier-than-air vehicles on the Red Planet.

Because it takes at least four minutes for light to travel to Mars from Earth (a delay that can grow to half an hour depending on how far the two planets are relative to each other), remote controlling the helicopter is out of the question. Instead, the machine is designed to receive pre-programmed commands from Earth, then execute them on its own, always autonomously navigating the environment in real-time.
The Mars Helicopter is expected to touch down on the Martian surface in February 2021, piggybacking a car-sized rover — a bigger, upgraded version of the Curiosity rover. After the rover lands on the Martian surface, the rotorcraft will detach and take off. Its first flight is intended to be short: just a 10-foot climb for 30 seconds before returning to the ground. If this initial test works well, the craft is supposed to make four more flights over a 30-day test period, with each flight getting progressively longer and more complex than the previous. If this little helicopter works as intended, it will set the stage for future, more complex rotorcrafts designed to act as scouts that can explore and map regions of Mars where scientists can’t even dream to send a rover.
“The ability to see clearly what lies beyond the next hill is crucial for future explorers,” shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A80mBA6lHfcaid Zurbuchen. “We already have great views of Mars from the surface as well as from orbit. With the added dimension of a bird’s-eye view from a ‘marscopter,’ we can only imagine what future missions will achieve.”
Here’s What We Know About The Robots That Might Build Our First Homes on the Moon
Here’s What We Know About The Robots That Might Build Our First Homes on the Moon

Rovers may soon traverse the surface of the Moon yet again. This time, though, they’ll have one noble mission: to build shelter the first human colonizers will inhabit.
A team of Japanese scientists is working to make this a reality. They started a company called ispace with the intention of launching a private space mission to the Moon. ispace envisions an entire colony, called “Moon Valley,” constructed not by human astronauts, but by robots instead. And they want to get started on it soon: the team is planning its first mission for late 2019, and a second in 2020.
The Moon is smaller than our other planetary neighbors, but it could become a second home for an exponentially growing human population back on Earth. But many, including Elon Musk, see the Moon as a stepping stone (or even just a place to stop for gas) to future space colonies on more distant planets, like Mars.
The team’s 8.3-pound lunar rover is shaped like a metallic beetle and is designed to house tools and instruments its clients may want (the company’s web site is strangely vague about what these may be, and what purpose they might serve). It also was designed to extract valuable resources that could later be used to build a city on the Moon. The team initially conceived of the project, at first dubbed “Sorato” (“white rabbit”), three years ago, as they planned to submit it to Google’s coveted Lunar X Prize, Wired reports.
But the X Prize Foundation has been pushing back its deadline for years. It was supposed to be 2014 originally, but after years of delays, it dissolved the prize this past January, since none of the finalists could meet Google’s ambitious deadlines.
That doesn’t seem to be fazing ispace. With a healthy $90 million in its first round of funding late last year (even SpaceX only raised $61 million in its first round, back in 2002), its effort to launch a private mission to the Moon no longer seems far-fetched.
But ispace isn’t the only company with ambitions to use robots to construct a new home on the surface of the Moon. The Pacific International Space Center for Exploration (PISCES) managed to build a four-wheeled robot that’s capable of building a landing pad for future space exploration on the Moon. It hasn’t done so, at least not yet — it’s only been tested in Hawaii under conditions that are decidedly Earth-like.
Other efforts, including one mission proposed by the European Space Agency, will test if local lunar soil could be used to 3D print a lunar base. By combining loose soil with special salts as “structural ink,” robotic 3D printers could one day build dome-shaped shelters that could house the first space explorers on the Moon.
MIT researchers created a competing project that looks particularly promising — last year, they 3D-printed the entire basic structure of a 12-foot high building in just 14 hours, with the help of a large industrial robotic arm. This “Digital Construction Platform” could build structures in remote places such as Antarctica first, and perhaps eventually on the Moon, or even Mars.
But who’s going to start building on the Moon first? NASA just canceled its only existing Moon Rover Project, and chances are, we’ll have a solid 4G phone connectionon the Moon, before we start actually living there. Private space companies might be a safer bet: SpaceX has big plans to build its own bases on the Moon, and eventually Mars, with the help of its BFR. Other companies, from Blue Origin to Moon Express, have already indicated they’re in the race, too.
It’s anybody’s guess when, or if, humans will call the Moon their home. But what isclear? It’s a pretty good idea to have robots build us a shelter first. And for that purpose, ispace seems to have a pretty promising candidate.
You may not carry your house on your back or release sulphuric acid, but you’ve got a lot more in common with a sea snail than you may think. Especially where your brain is concerned.
Yes, sea snails may have 20,000 neurons — a paltry sum compared to humans’ 100 billion. But scientists have been studying sea snails for a long time, and they know an awful lot about how the organisms learn. Many marine organisms function the same way mammals do, except the processes that keep them alive are just way less complicated. And sea snails are no exception — their nerves transmit impulses much the way ours do.
So, it’s impressive that researchers from UCLA were able to transfer memories of being shocked between marine snails. Even more impressive? That early research may someday pave the way for similar processes in humans.
In the study, published Monday in the journal eNeuro, snails in one group were trained to respond to a stimulus — in this case, a shock to the tail (animal lovers, don’t fear — the shock didn’t hurt the snails. It just triggered a defensive curl reflex, sort of like snatching your hand away from a hot stove). At first, the snails would only curl for a few seconds. But through repeated shocks, the researchers trained them to curl for longer, up to about 50 seconds.
Next, the team took some ribonucleic acid (RNA), which forms proteins based on cells’ DNA, from nerve tissue in the upper abdomen of trained snails and injected it into the untrained snails’ necks to get to their circulatory system. When they were shocked, the snails that weren’t injected with RNA curled for only a few seconds, the way all snails do when they haven’t been trained. But the ones injected with RNA from the trained snails? They held the pose for 40 seconds, as if they remembered how to respond to a stimulus, even though they had never encountered it before. The researchers also tested some of the same techniques on snail neurons in a petri dish.
This is a big deal because it helps clear up a longstanding scientific debate. See, some researchers think memories are stored in the synapses (the spaces between nerve cells). Another camp believed memories were stored in the nuclei of neurons. As study author David Glanzman told the BBC, “If memories were stored at synapses, there is no way our experiment would have worked.”
To treat memory-related illnesses in humans, we’ve first got to understand how the brain stores memories in the first place. The UCLA team suggests their research might one day allow us to, as the study states, “modify, enhance, or depress memories.” That could lead to new ways for people with early-stage Alzheimer’s to regain some of what they lost, or novel treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Let’s not get carried away, here — these are snails, after all. These findings don’t close the debate about where memories are stored, and they certainly don’t mean that we can instantly restore detailed memories in humans.
But there are many different types of RNA, and Glanzman’s team plans to do more research to figure out determine which types most directly impact memory.
So, we’re still a ways off from becoming a karate black belt simply by injecting some RNA into our necks, or downloading sweet dance moves directly to our minds. But we may be a step closer to it, thanks to the humble, oft-shocked sea snail.
WETENSCHAP Zo groot als 20 miljard zonnen. Het is amper voor te stellen, maar zo gigantisch is het superzware zwarte gat dat Australische astronomen hebben ontdekt. De grootste quasar ooit zou al dateren uit het vroege universum. Om de twee dagen slokt het gulzige monster een massa gelijk aan onze eigen zon op, en dat op meer dan twaalf miljard lichtjaar van ons.
Het zogenaamde supermassief zwart gat of quasar werd gespot door astronomen van de Australian National University (ANU), geleid door Christian Wolf van de Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, met de SkyMapper-telescoop, met behulp van de GAIA-satelliet van ESA. Het zwart gat produceert ultraviolet licht en X-stralen, doordat het gassen en stoffen opslorpt. De temperaturen lopen er zo hoog op dat ze mogelijk het sterrenstelsel waartoe het zwart gat behoort, zouden kunnen verwoesten.
Het is, voor zover bekend, het snelst groeiende zwarte gat in het heelal. Ontstaan op het moment dat ons universum, van inmiddels 13,8 miljard jaar, zo’n 1,2 miljard jaar oud was.
1 procent groter elk 1 miljoen jaar
“Het groeit zo snel dat het duizenden keren helderder schijnt dan een heel sterrenstelsel doordat het dagelijks zoveel gassen opzuigt en zo heel wat wrijving en hitte doet ontstaan”, zegt Wolf. Elk één miljoen jaar groeit het met één procent aan, wat extreem zeldzaam is. “Als een dergelijk monster in het centrum van onze Melkweg zou zitten, dan zou het tien keer helderder zijn dan de volle maan. Het zou schitteren als een ongelooflijk heldere puntige ster, die bijna alle sterren aan de hemel zou uitvegen.”
Ook onze Melkweg kent een superzwaar zwart gat, maar dat is een lichtgewicht in vergelijking met deze ontdekking. Met een massa van vijf miljoen zonnen is dat ‘van ons’ maar liefst 40.000 kleiner dan wat de SkyMapper ontdekte. Mocht dát zwarte gat zich centraal in ons melkwegstelsel bevinden, dan zou leven op aarde waarschijnlijk niet mogelijk zijn door de hoeveelheid röntgenstralen. “Maar geen paniek”, zegt Wolf. “Het zal ons niet opslokken. Daarvoor is het te ver weg van ons.”
Big Bang
“Verrassend genoeg hebben we al zo’n 800 miljoen jaar na de Big Bang zulke enorme zwarte gaten gevonden in het vroege universum.” Hoe ze tot zo’n massa groeiden, zo snel na de oerknal, is een groot mysterie voor de natuurkunde. Ze moeten lange tijd supersnel gegroeid zijn, of ze zijn ontstaan uit massieve zwarte gaten, die zich vormden tijdens de donkere vroege tijden door directe instorting.” Het onderzoeksteam is nu op zoek naar nog sneller groeiende zwarte gaten om antwoorden te vinden.
“Dit heeft implicaties voor hoe het universum ontstond en welk mechanisme de oerknal teweegbracht”, zegt Tamara Davis van de University of Queensland nog.

Leven we in een multiversum dat vol buitenaards leven zit? Dit nieuwe onderzoek werpt licht op de zaak
Leven we in een multiversum dat vol buitenaards leven zit? Dit nieuwe onderzoek werpt licht op de zaak
Andere universa zitten mogelijk vol buitenaards leven, zo blijkt uit een nieuwe studie waar The Independent over schrijft.
Astronomen vragen zich al geruime tijd af of we in een universum leven dat slechts één van vele is. Je kunt je vervolgens afvragen of andere universa ook leven bevatten.
Als het multiversum blijkt te bestaan zit het mogelijk vol met verschillende soorten buitenaards leven, aldus het nieuwe onderzoek.
Veel geschikter
Aan de hand van computersimulaties hebben wetenschappers vastgesteld dat andere delen van het multiversum veel geschikter zijn voor leven dan voorheen werd gedacht.
Huidige theorieën voorspellen dat er veel meer donkere energie in ons eigen universum zou moeten zijn.
Voegen we echter meer donkere energie toe aan ons heelal, dan zou het zo snel uitdijen dat materie geen sterren en planeten kan vormen.
Vele verschillende universa
Het multiversum kan dit verklaren. Volgens sommige wetenschappers zijn er vele verschillende universa en hebben sommige meer donkere energie dan andere.
De nieuwe studie laat zien dat sterren en planeten zich ook gewoon kunnen vormen als er meer donkere energie is.
Nauwelijks invloed
“We vroegen ons af hoeveel donkere energie er kan zijn voordat leven onmogelijk is,” zei Pascal Elahi van de University of Western Australia.
“Onze simulaties toonden aan dat de versnelde expansie als gevolg van donkere energie nauwelijks invloed heeft op de geboorte van sterren, en dus plekken waar leven kan ontstaan,” vervolgde hij.
Ons universum is dus eigenlijk niet zo heel speciaal.
