Scientists said yesterday that they have discovered a tiny genetic mutation that largely explains the first appearance of white skin in humans tens of thousands of years ago, a finding that helps solve one of biology’s most enduring mysteries and illuminates one of humanity’s greatest sources of strife. The work suggests that the skin-whitening mutation [...]
A faint glow from the first stars formed after the Big Bang has been detected. The cluster of stars, known as Population III, is believed to have been formed about 100 million years after the dawn of the Universe 13.7 billion years ago, astronomers from Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland said. The stars [...]
So, I was looking at my mint and noticed that I have been getting a lot of hits from a past article I posted about String Theory Proof. Because I am a stats fiend and like to know everything that is going on with my site, I went to Google to see where I ranked [...]
Its the fabled White Giraffe. A researcher in Africa has finally spotted the rare white giraffe that he’s been seeking for twelve years, and he’s got a photograph to prove it. Charles Foley, a Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) researcher, first heard rumors of the white giraffe in 1993 when he was working in Tanzania’s Tarangire [...]
Kennewick Man yielded a few tantalizing clues to his past yesterday as the team of scientists studying him wrapped up the first phase of its investigation. The skull of the skeleton found on the bank of the Columbia River nine years ago shares common characteristics with other “paleo-Indians” of North America, said David Hunt, physical [...]
As you read this, remember that this man probably never existed. The bible says he couldn’t have. Fossils are just put in the earth to test our faith. Oh yes, and Jesus killed the dinosaurs. Cloistered around padded tables, scientists from around the country have been peering through microscopes and measuring bone fragments trying to [...]
Think Star Trek: You are here. You want to go there. It’s just a matter of teleportation. Thanks to lab experiments, there is growth in the number of “beam me up” believers, but there is an equal amount of disbelief, too. Over the last few years, however, researchers have successfully teleported beams of light across [...]
?Cameron Marlow is a grad student at the MIT Media Lab. To finish his Ph.D., Mr. Marlow is going to be analyzing the results of a survey ?about how people use their weblogs and their general communication behavior.�? To get the best results, he needs a large sample size so if you?ve got ~15 minutes [...]
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity. Email Facebook Twitter Digg Reddit
I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design to be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory [...]
