A NASA Scientist Heralds “One of the Most Profound Discoveries” of the Space Age
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: alien life
In recent years, scientists have learned that one of Earth’s most unique features — its liquid oceans — is far more common throughout the solar system than scientists ever expected.
Take Ceres, a dwarf planet orbiting our Sun inside the asteroid belt, which scientists discovered earlier this year is actually an ocean world, according to Discover Magazine. The discovery of abundant water on other worlds could have huge implications for the search for extraterrestrial life — to the point that NASA astronomer Alan Stern tells Discover that it’s “one of the most profound discoveries in planetary science in the Space Age.”

Australians in awe of native blue-banded bees found across the country
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: futurism
Australians are in awe of a native bee covered in deep blue stripes after learning the unusual insect can be found across the country.
The blue-banded bee can be spotted in gardens in each state except for Tasmania and can be recognised by the coloured stripes around their abdomen.
While the bees have stingers they are not known to be aggressive and are attracted to native plants including tomato flowers.

In a Mind-Bending New Paper, Physicists Give Schrodinger’s Cat a Cheshire Grin
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: particle physics
“I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice. “But a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!”
It’s an experience eminent physicist Yakir Aharonov can relate to. Together with fellow Israeli physicist Daniel Rohrlich, he’s shown theoretically how a particle might show its face in a corner of an experiment without needing its body anywhere in sight.
To be more precise, their analysis argues information could be transferred between two points without an exchange of particles.
