    Quantum mechanical tunnelling

    I'm TOTALLY ignorant on anything quantum related. So I found this article pretty helpful in understanding the experiments that the scientist are using to observe quantum mechanical tunneling effects. I'm also impressed that they are able to get laser pulses that are a fraction of a billionth of...

    Homo erectus in Java: 140,000-year-old fossils found in submerged river valley

    Coped from another site: Human fossils dating back 140,000 years were discovered in the creation of an artificial island in Indonesia. During sand dredging in the Madura Strait, contractors pulled around 177 million cubic feet (5 million cubic meters) of sand and sandstones to create an...

    Well preserved Archaeopteryx fossil shows link between birds and dinosaurs.

    "Archaeopteryx is the fossil that clearly demonstrated Darwin's views. It's the oldest known fossil bird, and it helps show that all birds -- including the ones alive today -- emerged from dinosaurs. And while the first Archaeopteryx fossil was found more than 160 years ago, scientists are...

    Are scientist wrong about how gravity works?

    "A theoretical proposal published in the journal Reports on Progress in Physics is making some bold claims about our previous understanding of quantum physics. Mainly, that we were wrong. The proposed theory grapples with the fact that quantum mechanics (basically modern physics) and general...

    North American being pulled apart - Midcontinent Rift

    Today I came across an article from a source that's more in line of general information than it is science. But until today when reading it I didn't know that around a Billion years ago there was a 2000 mile long rift that created a "bason as wide as the Red Sea." This rift is called the North...

    Could a planet really develop a brain?

    Here's another take on AI and consciousness. "But what if Spaceship Earth is itself developing (and indeed has already developed much of the infrastructure to support) a single emergent consciousness?" "Could a planet really develop a brain? A mind? Would such an outcome be desirable, and...

    Planetary Alignment Provides NASA Rare Opportunity to Study Uranus

    "When a planet’s orbit brings it between Earth and a distant star, it’s more than just a cosmic game of hide and seek. It’s an opportunity for NASA to improve its understanding of that planet’s atmosphere and rings. Planetary scientists call it a stellar occultation and that’s exactly what...

    Anticline geological structures

    An anticline is a structural trap formed by the folding of rock strata into an arch-like shape. The rock layers in an anticline trap were originally laid down horizontally and then earth movement caused it to fold into an arch-like shape called an anticline. Here's a very nice aerial photo...

    CERN is getting an upgrade to detect long-lived particles

    "Physicists are finalizing plans for MATHUSLA, a powerful new addition to CERN's Large Hadron Collider that will detect long-lived particles and potentially open the door to new physics." Here's a simplified explanation: The world's largest atom smasher is getting a powerful upgrade — and it...

    Scottish watering hole dinosaur congregating place 167 Million years ago.

    During the Jurassic period 167 million years ago, dinosaurs mingled on the muddy outskirts of a balmy lagoon on what is now Scotland’s Isle of Skye. As both predators and prey frequented the watering hole, they made layers of overlapping footprints. Those footfalls remain etched into Skye’s...

    Info from Geological Society of America regarding Myanmar earthquake

    "An M7.7 earthquake struck overnight near Mandalay, Myanmar, as the result of strike slip faulting between the India and Eurasia plates. Focal mechanism solutions indicate that slip occurred on either a north-striking, steeply-dipping, right-lateral fault, or a west striking, steeply-dipping...

    Today is the Anniversary of the "Good Friday" earthquake in Anchorage Alaska

    March 27, 1964, Alaska is shaken for 5 minutes by one of the strongest earthquakes experienced in modern times - a Mw 8.3 to 9.2 as the quake was so strong that no seismometer in the affected area recorded it correctly. As it hit a relatively remote and sparsely inhabited area the quake and...

    3D Model Of Yellowstone Hotspot and Plume

    I really appreciate the advances in the science of geology.. Below the text that I copied and pasted is a short 25 second video of a 3D model of the Yellowstone Hotspot and Plume. The model goes much deeper into the earth than others that I've seen. The Yellowstone Hotspot plays an important...

    Measuring the speed magma creeps toward the surface

    "In some volcanic eruptions, magma creeps toward the surface so slowly that it would lose to the sloth, while in others, it would leave even Usain Bolt in the dust. But how do scientists measure a process that happens miles underground, hidden from view? The answer lies in tiny chemical changes...

    Yellowstone Magma chamber using Electromagnetic measurements

    The science of Geology keeps opening new doors. This is the clearest picture yet of the Yellowstone magma chamber using a process called Magnetotellurics. "Magnetotellurics is a geophysical method that uses variations in the Earth’s naturally occurring electromagnetic field," Great...

    Oldest-known dinosaur in North America

    A 230 million-year-old, never-before-seen raptor unearthed in the U.S. is the oldest dinosaur ever discovered in North America — and one of the earliest to ever emerge on our planet. Oldest-known dinosaur in North America is a 'chicken-size' raptor — and changes what we know about how dinos...

    Sea lilies- 280 million years ago.

    "Approximately 280 million years ago, during the late Permian period, the region now known as Gascoyne Junction was submerged under a vast, shallow sea. This marine environment provided ideal conditions for the growth and proliferation of crinoids. The sedimentary layers that formed during this...
