Uncommon science: eye-opening scientific findings and impressive technological advances. Interesting facts and thought-provoking theories about Human, Earth and the Universe
The question of the pyramid construction in ancient Egypt has been one of the most intriguing mysteries in the world's history. The Egyptian pyramids seem way too precise to have been constructed without sophisticated technical means. This paves the way to various controversial theories, such as that of the alien…

An unusual theory was offered by Italian physics: space-time may be regarded as a superfluid, in which hydrodynamic quantum processes take place. According to the theories of quantum gravity, space-time is not a continuum but a discrete matrix. On the lower level, space-time is a "quantum foam" of elementary particles…
Can an empty wine bottle refill by itself? Is it possible to break the bottom of a bottle without making it turn into smithereens? This may sound like 'magic’, but in reality, it is nothing more than... a demonstration of the laws of physics. Physics is a science which has…
