Ancient Chinese astronomers observed a solar eclipse in 709 BCE with remarkable detail. These old records are now helping scientists understand Earth's rotation changes over thousands of years. They also reveal patterns in solar activity. This ancient data improves modern astronomical models and our understanding of planetary dynamics and climate links.The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered Alaknanda, a remarkably mature spiral galaxy existing just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. This well-organized structure, complete with a disc and arms, challenges existing theories about early cosm...
A tiny bacterium, Tersicoccus phoenicis, is changing how scientists view cleanliness in secure areas. This microbe survives by entering a dormant state, evading detection by normal tests. This discovery impacts space missions and industries on Earth....
Scientists at the University of British Columbia Okanagan say they’ve found a mathematical limit that shuts down the Simulation Hypothesis entirely. Drawing on Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, their study argues that parts of reality cannot be generat...
New research reveals ancient humans in southern Africa lived in isolation for nearly 100,000 years. This led to unique genetic traits not seen in modern populations. These findings show human evolution was complex, involving multiple isolated groups....
