Everything about our beautiful planet: interesting facts, scientific discoveries, and thought-provoking theories about the past and the future of Earth.
Famous for his scientific research on black holes and physics, world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has issued a stark warning on things that he strongly believes will lead to the demise of human civilization. His warnings may surprise you as they are far beyond the realms of the mainstream beliefs that…
It is well known that astronomical events have a direct connection with events on earth. The tides of the ocean, for instance, are influenced by the phases of the moon. This is only one event that displays the speculator connection between the earth and the universe. If the moon can…
I am sure we have all wondered why languages are different from region to region. The spoken word, although complex and diverse, is enticing. We all muse about why we do not communicate in a universal form. Well, the obvious reasons pertain to culture in different regions of the world.…
It seems that the many-years debate about the origin of water on Earth has been solved with the results of the analysis of the Rosetta probe data. The researchers who studied these data believe that comets can no longer be regarded as the primary source of the water on our…
Isaac Asimov suggested a long time ago that the Moon is not a natural astral body. Now, certain people believe that Asimov’s calculations were right and the gravitational features of the Moon are not just abnormal. They are the exact numbers required so that the Moon does not escape from…
Alien spacecraft? Meteorite crash? Or maybe underground gas explosion? So far no one has solved the mystery of the giant crater on the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia, Russia, whose name in the local dialect means "The end of the world". A research mission, which includes the Russian Ministry of Emergency…
Having analyzed huge volumes of data regarding the scientific studies and patent applications, the company Thomson Reuters, a child agency of Reuters, came up with a list of ten innovations that promise to dramatically change the planet by 2025. Intellectual Property and Science Department of the company initially identified ten…

Hitherto unseen, these formations seem to transfer water over long distances and might affect the global climate. The existence of these giant vortices, which can reach a diameter of 150 km, was known from previous observations. Their role in ocean circulation was difficult to study, as the limits of these…
One of the most popular theories in science today argues that life arrived on Earth from outer space, i.e. from bacteria that were brought to our planet by a meteor. However, another point of view, which seems indeed to have potentially broader support, insists that it is very likely that…
Is it possible to convert Earth's heat into renewable energy? Scientists have developed a technique that enables us to generate electricity from the heat that Earth releases into the atmosphere. American engineers believe that the thermal energy of the Earth, which is released into the environment, can be used as…
