The cosmological constant has plagued physicists for more than a century.
Small study is ‘not rock solid’ but could have huge consequences for ageing, experts say.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices are well known to be closely tied to media and general public interest –-though that could be changing.
The bitcoin price has been climbing so far this year, rising some 200% since January, though has recently plateaued at around $10,000 per bitcoin after peaking at more than $12,000 in June.

The high pollution in the oceans is a big problem on the planet.

He did groundbreaking work toward finding a “theory of everything.” He died in an Alpine rock-climbing accident.
A small clinical trial, which was conducted by a team of researchers led by Dr. Greg Fahy, has shown for the first time in humans that reversing biological age may be possible.
The results of TRIIM are in
The researchers spent a year running the Thymus Regeneration, Immunorestoration, and Insulin Mitigation (TRIIM) trial, which included 9 volunteers aged between 51 and 65. The trial was aimed at testing if a growth hormone and drug combination could be used safely in humans to restore thymic function lost due to aging [1].
