What Time Is It On The Moon?

Time shapes our lives and we can’t avoid it. We are influenced – and stressed out – by clocks and alarms, and even if we were to get rid of our tech and go back to nature we’d be at the mercy of the rotation of our planet on its axis and around the Sun. […]

What Is The History Of Druids And Who Were They Really?

by

Despite their popularity within certain fantasy games or among some new age Pagan movements today, there is much we do not know about the Druids, an ancient social class often associated with mysticism and magic.

When Two Wrongs Actually Do Make A Right: What Is Parrondo’s Paradox?

by

Have you ever seen Ocean’s Eleven? Spoiler alert if you haven’t: in it, we see a ragtag group of lovable crooks and shysters attempt to take down a Las Vegas casino – essentially an impenetrable fortress of anti-thievery measures which, we are repeatedly informed throughout, just about nobody has ever successfully cracked. At almost every […]

The Maximum Number Of T. Rex To Ever Walk The Earth Was 1.7 Billion

by

“How many Tyrannosaurus rex were there?” It’s a question that’s been answered before, but a study published last month offers up a new figure, challenging previous assumptions. From the dawn of the dinosaurs until their extinction, 1.7 billion of the thin-lipped, intimidatingly clever, and surprisingly slow theropods roamed the Earth, according to the new and improved calculations.

What Is The Heaviest Object In The Universe?

Have you ever wondered what the heaviest object in the universe is?

The reason we’ve shifted from seeking the heaviest object to the […]

Humans In Europe Mastered Fire Way Earlier Than We Previously Thought

by

Fresh evidence suggests that early humans in Europe were mastering fire around 245,000 years ago. If this latest assessment is on point, it indicates our distant relatives may have been sat around a campfire, perhaps sharing food and building social bonds, up to 50,000 years earlier than previously thought.   In a new study, researchers […]

Asteroid Study Predicts Earth Is Safe For 1,000 Years

A study of the orbit of known space objects has found that the Earth is safe from impact events for at least around 1,000 years. NASA and other observatories track the orbits of objects discovered in the Solar System, keeping a particular eye on “near Earth objects” (NEOs) 140 meters (460 feet) and larger in […]

A Quadrillion Tons Of Diamonds May Be Trapped Deep In Earth’s Interior

by

Scientists used sound waves to estimate the composition of the Earth’s upper mantle and found evidence that around a quadrillion tons of diamonds may be buried somewhere over 160 kilometers (100 miles) deep beneath our feet. The research, based on decades of seismic activity data, was reported in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems back in […]
