VIA “newrepublic.com” by Jeffrey Ball In June 1975, a Yale economist named William Nordhaus published a paper for the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, an Austrian think tank. In the paper, he put forward a theory about a potentially globe-altering climate-change Red Line—a threshold that, if crossed, could result in a fusillade of environmental […]
VIA “thespiritscience.net” by Renee Kirsten How was Einstein’s Brain Different? Scientists have been studying Einstein’s brain ever since he died in 1955. Since then they have a discovered a few things about his brain that is different than the average brain. One of the most interesting discoveries is a very well developed corpus callosum. That […]
VIA “thespiritscience.net” by Jordan Rochester Scientists have come up with a simple cloaking device. It’s basic in its design but the core fundamentals here could be applied in a myriad of ways. This model is essentially using lenses to bend the light around an object, so as you look through the lens, it appears as […]
VIA “huffingtonpost.com” by Joe Satran Driving through the farmlands of Iowa looking for fresh food to eat is a lot like sailing through the ocean looking for fresh water to drink. In the ocean, you’re surrounded by water that you can’t drink; in Iowa, you’re surrounded by food you can’t eat. Even though Iowa […]
VIA “collective-evolution.com” by Joe Martino Remember when NASA released what was coined ‘the most significant image every captured?‘ Well they seem to have outdone themselves with this one. For a second, take a moment and think of how big our universe is. Where are we? Where do things begin? And where does it stop? We […]
VIA “theminduneashed.org” by Anna Lemind The Sun is the closest star to our planet and it would be logical to assume that all living beings here are strongly affected by its activity. It seems that along with determining Earth’s climate and biological cycles in nature, our star also affects our behavior, mental health and even […]
VIA “iflscience.com” by Lisa Winter Not all rocket scientists need to work for NASA. DaveHax explains how to make a simple rocket at home, using nothing more than a match, aluminum foil, a paper clip, and a lighter. Be sure to always wear proper eye protection when creating these rockets, and launch outside to prevent […]
VIA “thespiritsscience.net” by Lexie This man is an incredible example of what we’d call a ‘cyborg’! He has successfully had a chip implanted in his brain that allows him to hear color. He can literally hear the frequency each hue of color lets off! There is a light sensor that picks up the color frequencies […]
VIA “themindunleashed.org” by Anna Lemind Hang onto your chair and prepare to have your mind blown.. New research reveals that a big portion of the Earth’s water is older than previously thought, and actually predates the age of the Sun. Moreover, the findings of the study suggest that water – and life – could exist on exoplanets […]
