Scientists Are Starting to Take Warp Drives Seriously, especially One Specific Concept ( Alcubierre “Warp” Drive). In recent years, the scientific community has become understandably excited and skeptical about claims that a particular concept – the Alcubierre “Warp” Drive – might actually be feasible. The Alcubierre Drive achieves Faster than […]

Science fiction movie fans know that, if you want to travel short distances from your home planet, you would use a sublight ‘ion drive’. However, is such an ion drive science fiction or science fact? The answer lies somewhere in between. Ion engines date back to at least 1959. Two […]
Where men once went to college in proportions far higher than women—58 percent to 42 percent as recently as the 1970s—the ratio has now almost exactly reversed. As an example, in 2017 at Carlow University, Women outnumber men by more than six to one. In the fall of 2017, women […]
The Y chromosome may be a symbol of masculinity, but it is becoming increasingly clear that it is anything but strong and enduring. Although it carries the “master switch” gene, SRY, that determines whether an embryo will develop as male (XY) or female (XX). The male Y chromosome has degenerated […]
Monkeys, chimpanzees (Chimps), and humans are primates. Primates are mammals that are characterized by their advanced cognitive development and abilities, grasping hands and feet, and forward-facing eyes, along with other characteristics. Some primates (including some great apes and baboons) are typically terrestrial (move on the ground) versus arboreal (living in […]
Overall, mice and humans share virtually the same set of genes. Almost every gene found in one species so far has been found in a closely related form in the other. Of the approximately 4,000 genes that have been studied, less than 10 are found in one species but not […]

MIT-led NASA mission finds a multi-planetary system that could be an “ideal laboratory” to study planetary formation and evolution. MIT researchers have discovered four new exoplanets orbiting a sun-like star just over 200 light-years from Earth.

Wolfx Solutions’ Zhiva Legacy artistically explores the concepts such as Jump Gates and with Faster Light Travel (FTL). So for those that are interested, I thought I would share a few videos from one of my favourite science content creators – Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell: High-level current science suggests […]
