The Big Bang Is Not The Beginning Of Our Universe — It’s Actually The End Of Something Else Entirely

Sean Carroll is a physicist at Caltech. His research includes theoretical physics and astrophysics, especially cosmology, field theory, and gravitation. He has published several research papers dark matter and dark energy, modified gravity, violations of Lorentz invariance,

extra dimensions, topological defects, cosmic microwave background anisotropies, causality violation, black holes, and the cosmological constant problem. He is currently focused on origin of the universe and the arrow of time, including the roles of inflation, baby universes, and quantum gravity.

In his recent video by Techinsider, he explains what existed before Big Bang and it actually means. So watch and learn:

Liquid Water Exists on Jupiter's Moon Europa, NASA Confirms

Image
Huge plumes of water have been spurting out of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons – and it might be the best place in our solar system to find aliens. The shock finding comes from a new look at old data, and has led scientists to confirm that the moon is a leading candidate in our search for alien life. Europa has long been seen as a possible candidate to have extraterrestrial life in our own solar system. But getting to it seemed almost impossible: the planet is thought to be covered in a thick crust of ice that would stop us from reaching the ocean beneath. The new discovery makes it much easier to actually find: the plume means that scientists can “taste” the water on the moon, helping them understand what might be found there. The plume was discovered when scientists realised that a bend in Europa’s magnetic field observed by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft during a 1997 flyby appeared to have been caused by a geyser gushing through its frozen crust from a subsurface ocean, researchers who r...

Scientists may have Discover an Alien MEGASTRUCTURE: "Bizarre" Star Might be Surrounded by a Dyson Sphere Built by Extraterrestrials,

Scientists have exposed a 'bizarre' star they say could be fenced by an enormous alien mega structure. KIC 8462852, situated 1,480 light-years away, was observed by the Kepler Space Telescope for near more than four years, starting in 2009. Currently scientists say they cannot clarify bizarre fluctuations in the light it releases - leading a few astronomers to claim it could have a gigantic alien mega structure right in front of it. Tabetha Boyajian, a postdoctoral applicant at Yale, told The Atlantic “We'd never seen anything like this star. It was in truth weird. We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out. Over the duration of the Kepler mission, KIC 8462852 was observed to undergo irregularly shaped, periodic dips in flux down to below the 20% level,” She lately published a study paper in the online journal arxiv charting the possible reasons - and omitting many of them. Boyajian and her study group at the crowdsourced Astro...

Scientists Have Identified The Physical Source of Anxiety in The Brain

Image
We're not wired to feel safe all the time, but maybe one day we could be. A recent study investigating the neurological basis of anxiety in the brain has identified 'anxiety cells' located in the hippocampus – which not only regulate anxious behaviour but can be controlled by a beam of light. The findings, so far demonstrated in experiments with lab mice, could offer a ray of hope for the millions of people worldwide who experience anxiety disorders (including almost one in five adults in the US), by leading to new drugs that silence these anxiety-controlling neurons. "We wanted to understand where the emotional information that goes into the feeling of anxiety is encoded within the brain," says one of the researchers, neuroscientist Mazen Kheirbek from the University of California, San Francisco. To find out, the team used a technique called calcium imaging, inserting miniature microscopes into the brains of lab mice to record the activity of cells in the hippoca...
