Stephen Hawking Said: God DID NOT Create The Universe, And God Does Not Exist
“ Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why…
Quantum Physicists Doubled the Information Speed Limit of the Universe
There is a limit to how fast information can move through the universe, just like there's a limit to how fast everything else can move through the universe. It is a rule. But a team of quantum ph…
New ideas for humans to survive far from Earth
How can we build a habitat on an ice-covered planet? The Swiss Space Center (SSC) has entered a partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) to prepare ESA_Lab@CH and is inviting students in Swit…
Asteroids and comets shower Mars with organics
Asteroids and comets appear to be a much more important supplier of organic molecules on Mars than expected. Until now, astronomers assumed that the organics on Mars mainly came from dust particles f…
Astronomers discover galaxies spin like clockwork
Astronomers have discovered that all galaxies rotate once every billion years, no matter how big they are. This Hubble image reveals the gigantic Pinwheel galaxy, one of the best known examples of &q…
Arrested development: Hubble finds relic galaxy close to home
Astronomers have put NASA's Hubble Space Telescope on an Indiana Jones-type quest to uncover an ancient "relic galaxy" in our own cosmic backyard. Upper right: This is a Hubble Space Te…
15 new planets confirmed around cool dwarf stars
Scientists report the existence of 15 new planets -- including one 'super-Earth' that could harbor liquid water -- orbiting small, cool stars near our solar system. These stars, known as red …
The occurrence of magnetism in the universe
Flows of molten metal can generate magnetic fields. This so-called dynamo effect creates cosmic magnetic fields, like those found on planets, moons and even asteroids. Over the coming years, a global…
Hold Onto Your Brain: Astronomers Have Discovered That Universe Is Far Bigger Than We Thought, And It Has 10x More Galaxies
So now it turns out, what we call the observable universe — the portion observable within our cosmological horizon, a.k.a the final frontier — has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid-1990s H…
Check Out This 1.5 BILLION Pixel Image Of The Andromeda Galaxy
This 1.5 Billion pixel image is the largest and sharpest photograph ever taken of the Andromeda Galaxy. In order to observe all of the 1.5 billion pixels, you’d need 600 HD TV screens to observe the …
Elon Musk: “Super Intelligent Aliens” Are “Probably Already Observing Us”
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe; they have been coming here for a long time. . . . I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fa…
Voyager 2 Was Hacked As It Entered Deep Space
NASA's revolutionary voyager 2 probe is over 3 decades into its heroic journey towards deep space. On April 22nd, 2010 just as the probe prepared to cross the border to enter into interstellar sp…
NASA's Webb Telescope to make a splash in search for interstellar water
Water is crucial for life, but how do you make water? Cooking up some H2O takes more than mixing hydrogen and oxygen. It requires the special conditions found deep within frigid molecular clouds, whe…
