Scientists found the head of a 330-million-year-old shark in a Kentucky cave

Posted by in category: futurism

Researchers were “stunned” when they discovered the remnants of a huge, fossilized shark head in the walls of a cave in Kentucky. The remains of the ancient animal were found in Mammoth Cave National Park, which according to the National Park Service is the world’s longest cave system.

The shark fossil, which was discovered by scientists who were investigating the cave system, is thought to be up to about 330 million years old, according to John-Paul Hodnett, a paleontologist and program coordinator at Dinosaur Park in Maryland.

The scientists sent Hodnett photos of the findings so he could help identify them. He was able to identify most of the fossils, but what got him “really excited” was to see a number of shark teeth associated with large sections of fossilized cartilage.

Today I Learned That Not Everyone Has An Internal Monologue And It Has Ruined My Day

Posted by in category: futurism

My day was completely ruined yesterday when I stumbled upon a fun fact that absolutely obliterated my mind. I saw this tweet yesterday that said that not everyone has an internal monologue in their head. All my life, I could hear my voice in my head and speak in full sentences as if I was talking out loud. I thought everyone experienced this, so I did not believe that it could be true at that time.

Literally the first person I asked was a classmate of mine who said that she can not “hear” her voice in her mind. I asked her if she could have a conversation with herself in her head and she looked at me funny like I was the weird one in this situation. So I began to become more intrigued. Most peo ple I asked said that they have this internal monologue that is running ram pant throughout the day. However, every once in a while, someone would say that they don’t experience this.

Archaeology Places Humans in Australia 120,000-Years-Ago

Posted by in category: futurism

Shell middens and a potential ancient hearth add to growing evidence of a much deeper human occupation period in Australasia (prehistoric Sahul).

A meticulously detailed 11 years research program has concluded that there is compelling evidence for a human presence 120,000 years at Moyjil, Point Richie, on the far south coast of Victoria.

Robots learn to sweat to stop overheating

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

Sweating is a useful skill for humans, stopping us from overheating. Now robots are learning to do it, too, and for the same reason. New research describes a soft robot gripper that sweats to lower its temperature. It has its downsides (like sweaty fingers), but it could be useful in future robot designs.
