We can build a real, traversable wormhole… if the universe has extra dimensions.
It may be possible to build a real, traversable wormhole, but only if our universe has extra dimensions, a team of physicists has found.
Mangetoreception, or the ability to sense Earth’s magnetic field, is basically a superpower.
Just as the ancient Minoans of Crete used the stars for maritime navigation, birds today migrate with the help of Earth’s magnetic field.
Bar-tailed Godwits—famous for their longest-known non-stop migration journeys—use the magnetic field to help them figure out their current positioning in addition to where they should head next. And although this isn’t the first time scientists have looked at mangetoreception (also called magnetoception) in birds, we still don’t have a clear understanding of how these animals are able to tap into the magnetic field and make use of it.

The International Lunar Observatory Association (ILOA) in Hawai’i is preparing to launch a dual-camera system attached to a Moon lander whose primary purpose will be to photograph the cosmos.
ILOA is preparing its precursor science education payload for integration on a pioneering commercial Moon lander later this year, while also continuing to advance more robust observatories for future long-term astronomy, science, and exploration missions.

Once the over-excitement recedes we might be able to get a better understanding of what, or who, is creating real value. Bronwyn Williams, a trends analyst and futurist who also serves as Chief Commercial Officer at Carbon Based Lifeforms was keen to stress that as we shift from the Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 world, we are shifting from demonetization to the re-monetization of the digital commons. By that she means, that with Web 2.0 the modus operandum was the offer of services … See more.
