Scientists studying the causes of ice ages say that an increase in Antarctic ice levels could be enough to trigger a new ice age that would reverse the current warming of our planet. As climate change continues to cause rising global temperatures that are busy melting the ice caps, scientists...

Mainstream scientists seem to have inadvertently given some support to the ancient astronaut theory again. Recently, we wrote about a "new" scientific discovery that unlocked the potential of gold atoms, with 2D gold nanosheets. Using layers of gold just two atoms in thickness, the researchers made a "landmark achievement." The...

When we think of woolly mammoths, we think of creatures that walked the Earth tens of thousands of years ago before the entire species became extinct due to the warming of the planet. But a new study shows that not all of them perished this early, and scientists are narrowing...

Here's a hypothetical for you: You're given the opportunity to somehow stand before a black hole in space and find out where it might lead. Would you take the leap? And if you did manage to work up your courage, what exactly would happen when you entered that giant...
