What is a planet? Where do we draw the line? I’m not sure, but I, for one, long for Pluto to be reclassified as a planet, just as Earth, just as Mercury and all other small heavenly bodies. Maybe this stems from childhood nostalgia when Pluto WAS included…and all was…
Finding planets in the habitable zone is only part of discovering new life in the universe. Another important factor is receiving signals from distant heavenly bodies. A mysterious signal from Earth-like planet Gliese 581g paves the way for a serious consideration that there might, indeed, be life on other planets.…
The universe continues to be such a mysterious territory, our territory. Although we have considered that maybe we aren’t the only ones here, there is no solid evidence to support this idea. The most popular discussions come from the belief in the Fermi paradox, which asks: if extraterrestrial life exists,…
If computers could dream, what would it look like? Moreover, if computers were artists, would technology produce paintings akin to Escher or Dali masterpieces? After testing the ability of Google’s AI to recognize images, these conclusions were made: Google software engineers analyzed computer ‘dreams’ (the latest images, produced by computers).…
It’s become a common event, finding new planets beyond our solar system. Tom Wagg, however, was the youngest person to make such a discovery, which is uncommon, to say the least. According to a press release from Keene University in England, Wagg was only 15 years old when making this…
Contrary to previous assumption, there may be a direct connection between the immune system and the brain. This is true! What’s more, this discovery could lead to possible cures or treatments for various immune system ailments and diseases. Wait a minute, this is a radical statement. Ideas this bold require…
So, you think you’ve seen it all? You haven’t seen anything yet. By the year 2030, advancements will excel anything we’ve seen before concerning human intelligence. In fact, predictions offer glimpses of something truly amazing - the development of a human hybrid, a mind that thinks in artificial intelligence. Ray…
Does the world we live in exist? Scientists say no - at least not until it’s measured anyway, and this would pertain to a small scale. For Australian scientists, recreating experiments confirmed quantum physics' predictions. The existence of reality is questionable. If this sounds complex, not to worry. This experiment…
Does the early bird get the worm? Is the night life the better choice for you? Which one sounds like your cup of tea? Researchers believe there is a direct correlation between genes, age and when to greet the day. In the journal, Frontiers of Neurology, a study was published…
True artificial intelligence is on the horizon, it seems. Human brain cells, memory cells to be exact, are being tweaked and improved to create an intelligence like never seen before. Scientists are almost there on the road to the real ‘bionic brain’. The key to artificial intelligence is the electronic…
