Uncommon science: eye-opening scientific findings and impressive technological advances. Interesting facts and thought-provoking theories about Human, Earth and the Universe
How to become more intelligent? The great debate on intelligence is a long and complicated one. For centuries, people have tried to discover how to increase their very own intellect. But now, thanks to recent advances in neuroscience on intelligence, psychologists have discovered multiple ways to incur neurogenesis or the growth…
Physicists call them "wormholes", and in fact, they are the Einstein’s field equations for gravity. Theoretically, wormholes are tunnels that connect different points in spacetime. In simple words, if someone enters a wormhole located, for example, in our solar system, they can get to a remote location of the galaxy…
Do you think that your brain stays safe from hackers? Maybe it does for now, but not for long. An experiment showed that stimulation of a particular brain region intervened in free will of monkeys and changed their preferences. Researchers from Harvard University, MIT and the University of Leuven in…
All great inventions in this world were germinated as ideas, and all ideas were generated through inquisitiveness, curiously and the urge to know more about things in the world around us. As children, we were keen to know more about the things around us. Why not now, as adults? After…
This is the first scientific study to show that transcranial stimulation is likely to cause a change in conscious awareness. And we all know that understanding the nature of consciousness is perhaps the biggest challenge of neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. The research focused on lucid dreaming The new research…
Dutch scientists achieved accurate teleportation of quantum information over a distance of three meters. This is a great achievement but is still far from the famous phrase "Beam me up, Scotty!" from Star Trek where people were teleported into space. However, it is another step in this direction. Many…
Until now it was thought that the tunnels in spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein cannot exist long enough to transfer light photons through them. Now, scientists have proposed a new concept of sending information through time. Dr. Luke Butcher, a physicist at Cambridge University, has suggested that there may exist…
The only real valuable thing is intuition. ~Albert Einstein The intuition is without a doubt, one of the most powerful engines of the human mind, mastering it however has been a fleeting experience for mankind. The psychology of intuition can tell us how exactly it works. Psychologists and neuroscientists alike…
