The Sci Tech World

Analyzing the thousands of documents through which contacts with extraterrestrial beings have been verified, it can be deduced that there are five types of messages that "they" want to spread: THE FIRST Ecology: Space visitors t ell their contactees that humanity is corrupting everything, that the seas and oxygen are being contaminated with chemical and industrial toxic waste that atomic bombs endanger life on the planet , usually warn of great dangers if the situation is not corrected, remember the global warming that we are currently suffering. THE SECOND Scientist: In many cases, a large number of scientific knowledge has been delivered to humans that are kept secret by governments, mainly the North American and Soviet governments. They also usually send illiterate people to transmit scientific communications to scientists. THE THIRD Technician: Many contactees have received the knowledge with concrete instructions to build state-of-the-art devices. We should not be surpri...

Astronomers just discovered 72 never-before-seen galaxies using the  Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE)  instrument on the  ESO’s   Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile as part of the deepest spectroscopic survey ever conducted. These galaxies are all located in a relatively small area of space known as the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF). Over the last decade, this area has been the target of a wealth of observation, but it wasn’t until scientists were able to look at it using MUSE that these 72 galaxies became visible. This is because these galaxies are Lyman-alpha emitters, meaning they only shine brightly in one color of light. Unlike the other telescopes used to study the HUDF, MUSE uses spectroscopy to break light into its component colors. “This allows us to measure the distance, colors, and other properties of all the galaxies we can see — including some that are invisible to Hubble itself,” Roland Bacon of  Lyon Centre for Astrophysics Research (CRAL) , who led the MUSE HU...

If you think the Earth is flat, then you’re on the wrong website. Seriously, what are you doing here? Why aren’t you venturing to the icy mountainous rim around the edges, bravely peeking underneath and seeing what’s on the other side of this galactic space Frisbee? Good luck with that. Incidentally, somewhere else that you don't expect to see flat Earth peons is on Elon Musk's Twitter profile – but this is 2017, where logic is about as relevant as witchcraft. Musk, a man known for his cosmic ventures, giant batteries, and curious, pun-filled tweet threads, openly wondered the other day why there isn’t a Flat Mars Society. After all, there’s a Flat Earth Society, whose adherents are just as odd as you’d expect them to be. Is Earth the only planet that’s flat? Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have an enormous, game-changing spoiler for you. The official Twitter account of the Flat Earth Society responded to Musk’s tweet, and they have claimed that Mars, unlike the Earth, is absolu...

NASA is opening up its research library to the public in the newly launched  web database PubSpace …and it’s absolutely free. NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan believes that this move will benefit fellow scientists and engineers and accelerate innovation. “Making our research data easier to access will greatly magnify the impact of our research,” she said. “As scientists and engineers, we work by building upon a foundation laid by others.” From here on out, any NASA-funded research articles in peer-reviewed journals must comply to its new policy. This requires that papers be published and uploaded to the portal within one year of publication so that they are freely accessible to anyone. The only exception is studies that involve patents and material governed by personal privacy, proprietary, or security laws. “At NASA, we are celebrating this opportunity to extend access to our extensive portfolio of scientific and technical publications,” NASA Deputy Administrator Dava Newman says in ...

One of the most respected scientists of today says he has found proof that God exists. He has found an evidence of the action of a force  “that governs everything.” The theoretical physicist Michio Kaku claims to have developed a theory that might point to the existence of God. The information has created a great stir in the scientific community because Kaku is considered one of the most important scientists of our times, one of the creators and developers of the revolutionary String Theory which is highly respected throughout the world. To come to his conclusions, the physicist made use of what he calls  “primitive semi – radius tachyons “ . Tachyons are theoretical particles capable to “unstick ” the Universe matter or vacuum space between matter particles, leaving everything free from the influences of the surrounding universe. Video: Proof That God Exists After conducting the tests, Kaku came to the conclusion that we live in a “Matrix”. “I have concluded that we are in a world mad...

Ever since the Aircraft Carrier replaced the battleship as the queen of the sea, it has defined what modern sea power is all about. However, every now and then mother nature shows what she is capable off, throwing waves over the flight deck. The dimensions of this super-carrier are mind-boggling to begin with; 1068 feet long, 257 feet wide and displacing over 97 thousand long tons. It stands just over 244 feet from the keel to the mast which is about the height of a 24-story building. The anchors alone weigh 66,140 lb! The ship can reach speeds of over 30 knots and is powered by four Westinghouse geared steam turbines, eight Foster Wheeler steam boilers that turn 4 five-bladed screws of 66,220 pounds each. Between 5,500 and 6,200 crew members are required to operate it which require all the facilities of a floating city. Aircraft carriers and the technology associated with them have come a long way since their origins during the First World War. Modern super-carriers have their roots i...

A new step in the technological development of science was achieved by a group of scientists from the Harbin University of Medicine, China, successfully achieving the first human head transplant in China, according to a press conference on Friday. Italian Sergio Canavero, director of the Advanced Neuromodulation Group of Turin.(Human Head Transplant) THE OPERATION, WHICH WAS CARRIED OUT ON A CORPSE FOR 18 HOURS, SHOWED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RECONNECT THE SPINE, NERVES AND BLOOD VESSELS. The intervention, led by Dr. Xiaoping Ren, who last year successfully inserted a head in the body of a monkey, lasted 18 arduous hours, at the end of which it was shown that it is possible to successfully reconnect the spine , the nerves and blood vessels of a human being. Apparently, on behalf of Chinese scientists, the Italian doctor Canavero said that “the next stage is a complete exchange between organ donors with brain death. That is the final step for the formal head transplant, whic...

The Sun is used to having plenty of personal space, given that its nearest stellar neighbor, the Alpha Centauri system, is located about four light years away. While that's not very distant in cosmic terms, it's wide enough for our solar system to not be influenced by these alien stars. But in about 1.3 million years, a star named Gliese 710, which is about 60 percent as massive as the Sun, is projected to interrupt the Sun's hermitude by crashing right on through the far-flung reaches of the solar system. While astronomers have been aware of this stellar meetup for years, new observations from the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite,  released on Thursday , have constrained the trajectory of Gliese 710's impending visit, and charted out nearly 100 other upcoming close encounters with wandering stars. According to the Gaia team, Gliese 710 will swoop through the Oort cloud, a vast shell of icy debris at the outer limits of the solar system, at a distance of rough...

We've never seen aliens... Or have we? No, Roswell conspirators, not now. Please sit down. We're talking in multitudes of higher complexity. Try this on: Maybe aliens are the puppet masters behind the laws of physics. Or maybe aliens literally are physics. Just when we thought we had a grasp on the fundamental constants of the universe, boom, dark matter rips off the mask and its E.T. Too crazy to be true? Prove it. British science fiction writer and futurist Arthur C. Clarke famously formulated three adages known as Clarke's three laws. Of them, number three steals most of the spotlight: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Consider cavemen for a moment. If you hand-delivered an iPhone to an ancient cavedweller, he'd be dumbfounded at the "magical" device. But give it some time, and Fred Flintstone would probably start tweeting and Snapchatting. Now let's crank 'er up a notch. Imagine technology so advanced...

Since Soviet scientist  Matvei Bronstein  pioneered its study in the 1930s, quantum gravity is still one of the most interesting  unsolved mysteries of the universe . However, Bronstein (1906-38) fell victim to Stalin’s Great Purge and was executed at a young age before he could conclude his research on quantum gravity. Why is Quantum Gravity Hard to Crack? The theoretical physicists after Bronstein have been attempting to come up with “theories” of quantum gravity for many decades, which they have, but there’s still no tangible conclusions. A large community of physicists is working on different models of a quantum gravity theory, in an attempt to find a “theory of everything”, one that brings Einstein’s relativity and quantum physics together and ushers in “new physics”. String theory  is one of the most studied quantum gravity models at present.  Loop quantum gravity  is another theory that’s touted as a viable model of quantum gravity. Although very promising, these theories are ha...

Archaeologists have unearthed long-lost art from a civilization that once inhabited the Caribbean. Known as the Tainos, these people once lived on the island of Mona, Puerto Rico – now an uninhabited nature reserve – in the 14th century, before the arrival of Columbus. Now gone, thousands of pieces of Taino art have since been found in caves on the island, offering a fascinating glimpse into their culture. The research has been led by the universities of Leicester and Cambridge, the British Museum, and the Centre for Advanced Studies of Puerto Rico. A paper describing some of the findings is available in the Journal of Archaeological Science . The art so far comes from 70 caves on the island, with dozens left to explore. The images show animal and human faces, along with a number of abstract patterns. “Most of the precolonial pictographs are in very narrow spaces deep in the caves, some are very hard to access, you have to crawl to get to them, they are very extensive and humidity is v...

Astronomers have discovered a host of habitable planets hiding in data from the Kepler space telescope, which may include some of the best candidates for finding life outside the Solar System. The data comes from Kepler’s first run of observations, from 2009 to 2013, when the telescope was pointed at one region of the sky. Led by Susan Thompson from the SETI Institute in California, the team found 20 promising candidates for Earth-like worlds, orbiting Sun-like stars on similar orbits to our own. A pre-print of their findings is available on arXiv . One in particular, KOI-7923.01, looks particularly promising. It is 97 percent the size of Earth, and orbits its star in 395 days. It’s slightly further from its star than Earth is from the Sun, which means it is likely a bit colder than our planet, with tundra-like conditions. “If you had to choose one to send a spacecraft to, it’s not a bad option,” Jeff Coughlin from NASA’s Ames Research Center, a co-author on the paper, told New Scienti...
