Using molecular dating tools and epidemiological simulations, researchers estimate that the SARS-CoV-2 virus likely circulated undetected for two months before the first human cases of COVID-19 were described in Wuhan, China in late-December 2019. #coronavirus
Theoretical physicists and astrophysicists, investigating irregularities in the cosmic microwave background (the ‘afterglow’ of the Big Bang), have found there is substantial evidence supporting a #holographic explanation of the universe. A holographic universe, an idea first suggested in the 1990s, is one where all the information that makes up our 3-D ‘reality’ (plus time) is contained in a 2-D surface on its boundaries. #holographicuniverse
Scientists claim they have developed a physical model for a warp drive – a device that would allow spacecraft to travel at faster-than-light speeds. #warpdrive
An international research team led by NUST MISIS has developed a new iron-cobalt-nickel nanocomposite with tunable magnetic properties. The nanocomposite could be used to protect money and securities from counterfeiting. The study was published in Nanomaterials. #NanoMaterial #NanoTechnology
Science is now showing that silence may be just what we need to regenerate our exhausted brains and bodies. #silence #brainhealth
Long dismissed as folk mythology, the idea that the phases of the moon affect our sleep patterns has now been borne out by a study by the University of Washington. #fullmoonsleep
Astronomers have tested a method for reconstructing the state of the early Universe by applying it to 4000 simulated universes using the ATERUI II supercomputer. They found that together with new observations the method can set better constraints on inflation, one of the most enigmatic events in the history of the Universe. The method can shorten the observation time required to distinguish between various inflation theories. #cosmiclock
Dreams take us to what feels like a different reality. They also happen while we’re fast asleep. So, you might not expect that a person in the midst of a vivid dream would be able to perceive questions and provide answers to them. But a new study shows that, in fact, they can. #dreams
A new study claims to have found an explanation for dark matter but relies on the discovery of a particle that leads to another dimension. #fifthdimension #5thDimension
Artificial intelligence (AI) is learning more about how to work with (and on) humans. A recent study has shown how AI can learn to identify vulnerabilities in human habits and behaviors and use them to influence human decision-making. #artificialIntelligence
Nassim Haramein introduces us to a holistic model of the universe that unites all areas of science through a deeper understanding of the foundations of our reality. #quantumphysics
With new discoveries in epigenetics, our control over the wellbeing of our bodies is placed back into our own hands, if we are ready to accept it. #epigenetics
According to Gregg Braden, there are 3 fundamental things you need to know about God, and all religions and ancient cultures, as well as science, agree! #greggbraden
Many botanists dispute the idea of plant sentience, but the study of climbing beans sows seed of doubt #consciousnessofplants
Gravitational waves would be weak and hard to find, but they’re all predicted to make up a resonant ‘hum’ that permeates our Universe, referred to as the gravitational wave background. And we may have just caught the first hint of it. #universehum
