We live in an extraordinary time.
We can send a space ship to Mars and communicate with it as easily as making a phone call or sending a text. We can regrow body parts in a petri dish. The sky is the limit on what we can accomplish. Science is pretty great.
But as great as science is, it still can't explain EVERYTHING.
The moon orbits Earth at about 238,855 miles. The International Space Station orbits Earth at about 260 miles.
That's quite a difference.
So, what would it look like if they switched, and the moon orbited the Earth at 260 miles?
Hold on to your hats! A NASA camera has taken pictures of what appears to be artificial light shooting upwards out of the surface of Mars! WHAT. IS. It?!?
In new health news, gunshot and stabbing victims will be suspended between life and death in order to allow more time to save them. Suspended animation trials will be happening in Pittsburgh soon!
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is one of the best outspoken minds astrological science has going for it right now. He makes difficult things simpler to understand for the laypeople. Well, this 9 year old felt up to the challenge to debate him about asteroid destruction, and it is AWESOME!
Scientists have been studying the human body for thousands of years. You'd think they have it all down by now, right? Turns out that a new body part has been discovered! And about 3% of the world's population doesn't have it. Keep reading to find out what this new body part is, where it is, and more!
This video is pretty wild. Basically, you move your hands in front of a certain point and this crazy morphing magic table mimics what your hands are doing, and does the same thing on the table. It's sort of like those pin things that you put your hand or face into and it leaves the imprint. Except you don't have to touch the pin thing now...Watch the video for a better explanation!
Dogs may be man's best friend, but it looks like cats could save millions of people! Researchers discovered that cats could be the key to a successful human HIV vaccine. Pretty wild! To find out just HOW cats could be the key, keep on reading!
This man is growing a nose out of his forehead! Turns out it's actually a not so uncommon nose reconstruction technique. Keep reading to see why he's got a nose on his forehead.
Scientists have identified the body language that ensures bartenders will serve you first in a busy bar. They assessed the behavior of customers 35 seconds before they were served. Keep reading to find out the results and see how you can use body language to get served first at a bar.
Apparently there's a product out called D30 (Dee Three Oh) that is a gel kinda like Flubber. Maybe it's not quite as bouncy, but you can shape it into just about any form, and it protects you. Even against a frickin shovel! Watch this guy prove it as he takes a shot to the head with a shovel for the sake of science!
This is a bitter sweet story as we've learned that time travel is possible. The bitter part is that there can't be a real life Back To The Future...because you can only go to the future, which obviously means you wouldn't be able to come back to the time that you left in the past. Keep reading to find out how time travel is possible!
With recent leaps in understanding of regenerative properties in animals that are able to regenerate limbs, biologists are now saying that limb regeneration could be a reality within the next 10 years! Read what they're saying about it.
NASA has just announced that the Sun's magnetic field is about to pull a clean 180 as it's electromagnetism flips and changes polarity. This is supposed to happen in the next few months. Yeah, that got my attention my too.
Just like the plot of The Amazing Spider-Man (except not at all), humans may soon be able to regrow limbs like lizards can. Let's hope that it won't turn someone into a giant angry lizard, cause as of now, we don't have a Spider-Man to save us. Keep reading to find out the crazy/weird/awesome way that scientists are working to make this a reality!
Russian scientists have found a well preserved full grown female mammoth in Siberia. Here's the kicker...the creature had flowing blood! While the blood wasn't flowing through the animals body, when they poked it, blood flowed out even though it was 10C degrees below zero. Keep reading to find out more on this story. Could they make me a mammoth please???
