An international team of researchers has found an opportunity to describe how our universe came about as a result of the Great Bounce. Note that the dominant cosmological model is the so-called. Big Bang
As you know, our vast Universe was born about 14.5 billion years ago as a result of the Big Bang. Despite the fact that we already know a lot about how exactly our universe arose, we still do not understand what exactly caused this explosion, colossal in power
Members of the New Horizons mission summed up the interim results of the study of Pluto, naming the ten most important discoveries that the probe made during the flight past the dwarf planet, NASA reports
What surprises us most in the universe is how little we know about it. And just like we want to know what happens to our death, science asks the question of what happens at the end of the universe. The scientific community has produced many theories - and some are truly impressive
NASA has sent a warning to humanity. According to the agency, an asteroid is approaching the Earth, the mass of which is equal to the largest Egyptian pyramid. Experts were able to name the date of the collision of the object with our planet
Read the first part here.At the beginning of 2019, the highly publicized film "The Wandering Earth" was released in the world film distribution, made as if based on the 2000 novel by the Chinese science fiction writer Liu Qixin, who, it is assumed, "borrowed" the plot from the 1960 novel by Francois Borda (published under the pseudonym Francis Karsak) "Flight of the Earth"
We think the good times will last forever and we shouldn't save energy. But entropy grows, and ultimately thanks to it, there will be no useful energy in our Universe
Two researchers at Brown University, looking at infrared images of the surface of Mars, noticed strange streaks radiating from impact craters. They offered an explanation of their find in an article in the Icarus magazine
Modern scientific discoveries make it possible to assume that we are not the only inhabitants of the universe. So, it is assumed that various creatures live in the solar system, some of which may even differ in the presence of intelligence.At the moment, thousands of minds on Earth are no longer worried about the very existence of alien life, but the likelihood of its early detection
According to one hypothesis, primitive precellular life arose more than four billion years ago on land among volcanoes and fumaroles, which provided all the necessary chemistry for its preservation and nutrition
Have you ever thought about the fact that everything in the surrounding world interacts in a mysterious way? Perhaps the secrets of sacred geometry indicate a direct connection with the Creator
Physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson, author of the famous concept of "Dyson spheres" and participant in the development of the nuclear starship Orion, died at the age of 96 last Friday.He worked with Richard Feynman and Hans Bethe and was engaged in quantum electrodynamics
Although Russian interference in the American elections is still being investigated and widely discussed in America, the space agencies of Russia and the United States have just signed a cooperation agreement on a project to create a lunar station
American astronaut Scott Kelly flew into space four times and flew the ISS three times: his last 340-day mission is by far the longest man has spent in space
In a photograph taken with the SOL 1290 panoramic camera on the Opportunity rover on March 23 at 15:25 solar time, famous ufologist Scott K. Waring discovered a stone block that resembles an earthly fish
Today it is difficult to imagine a time when there would be no moon in the sky. But there really was such an era. This fact, for example, is known from the manuscripts of ancient thinkers
As of today, 22 of them have been accepted and we still do not know what they mean, or where they come from from the vast Universe - fast breakthroughs of radio waves, similar to distant and very local bursts of energy
Freeman Dyson, who passed away at the age of 96 on February 28, recalled in a 2003 interview in which he told when and how he first put forward his theory of the "Dyson sphere", which gave a serious impetus to the search for an advanced extraterrestrial civilization
Black holes are one of the most terrifying and destructive forces in the universe, but some scientists suggest that the radiation of these objects, which they create during the absorption of surrounding matter, can contribute to the emergence of biomolecular building blocks of life and even stimulate photosynthesis
Our knowledge of space is similar to our knowledge of history: it can be really difficult to figure out where the real facts are, and where the ones are remembered from the films. And in both cases, it often turns out that this knowledge is not just inaccurate, but ridiculously erroneous
Stars - very important objects. They give light, warmth, and also give life. Our planet, people and everything around us is created from stardust (97 percent to be exact)
The gas shell of the Earth, as it turned out, extends twice as far as the orbit of our natural satellite
An American scientist predicted a disastrous solar flare Accidents on power lines, nuclear reactors and failures in computers - the American astronomer known for his predictions issued a warning about a possible superflare on the Sun, which before
A scientific experiment by German scientists called GEO600 to search for gravitational waves, which has been going on for seven years, has led to unexpected results, according to the journal New Scientist.With the help of a special device - an interferometer - physicists were going to scientifically confirm one of the conclusions of Einstein's theory of relativity
Just the other day, a scientific work authored by two scientists from Harvard University caused a stir: they said that a cigar-shaped stone flying through our solar system could be sent by aliens
This version of the origin of the mysterious impulse is considered as one of the main Specialists representing the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences, recorded a powerful electromagnetic pulse that came to Earth from space
The Tunguska phenomenon is the most mysterious event that has ever happened on Earth. Scientists still disagree about what happened in the taiga 109 years ago
What were the scientists doing in the first private project to find extraterrestrial intelligence?The Phoenix Project was a private research project by the SETI Institute to search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The works were carried out from February 1995 to March 2004
The absence of obvious traces of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations can be an illusion.Comparative mammalian neurobiology, paleobiology, the discovery of thousands of planets around other stars, and the famous Drake equation all suggest that we are not alone in the universe
Since ancient times, the inhabitants of the Earth have wondered: are there other intelligent beings in the depths of space? Is the phenomenon of intelligence unique, or is it as widespread as the planets and stars? In the 20th century, for the first time, mankind had a fundamental technical opportunity for communication with hypothetical civilizations in other stars
Recently, Canadian astronomers reported the first mysterious fast radio bursts, repeating at regular intervals. Astrophysicists have not yet recorded anything like this. Those who have caught the signals are confident that they have a natural source - possibly a neutron star
It is becoming less and less likely to explain the strange twinkling of the distant star KIC 8462852 in the constellation Cygnus. This star caused a lot of confusion last October when it was suggested that it may be surrounded by some kind of alien megastructure
All life forms we know are made up of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. But even if we assume that life on Earth and in our solar system is exclusively organic, does this mean that life is like this in the entire Universe? More than one generation of scientists and theorists has been arguing on this topic
Famed science fiction writer Arthur Clarke once said: “There are two possibilities: either we are alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally awful. " Humanity is fascinated by the idea that life can exist outside the Earth. For more than fifty years, the specialists of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence SETI have been scanning the galaxy to no avail. I
The Trojan asteroids of Mars, which travel with it around the Sun, may be the remnants of another planet that has not been able to form completely. The young solar system was a much more hectic place than it is today
