Around 2.2 billion years ago, a massive space rock collided against our planet, leaving a massive scar.Around 200 million years older than any other site like it on the planet’s surface, the so-called Yarrabubba impact structure is located in Australia. Although the impact site is the oldest found to date, finding it was not easy.Our planet’s surface is continually changing due to tectonic activity and erosion, making it very difficult to date ancient impact craters. This is precisely the case of the 70 km-wide Yarrabubba crater in Western Australia, which lacked a precise age but was nonetheless considered one of…

Non-scientific versions of the answer have invoked many gods and have been the basis of all religions and most philosophy since the beginning of recorded time. Now a team of mathematicians from Canada and Egypt have used cutting edge scientific theory and a mind-boggling set of equations to work out what preceded the universe in which we live. In (very) simple terms they applied the theories of the very small – the world of quantum mechanics – to the whole universe – explained  by general theory of relativity, and discovered the universe basically goes though four different phases. More importantly…

Astronomers have identified a star system with three Super-Earths and two Super-Mercuries, a form of planet that is exceptionally rare and unique. In fact, super-Mercuries are so uncommon that only eight have been discovered to date. ESPRESSO’s spectrograph detected two ‘super-Mercury’ worlds in the star system HD 23472. Astronomers have discovered that these planets are extremely rare. This study, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, looked at how the composition of tiny planets varies with planet position, temperature, and star attributes. The reason for observing this planetary system, according to Susana Barros, a researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics e Ciências…

The Black Sea town of Sozopol in Bulgaria has become home to the buried remains of “vampire skeletons.” These skeletons date back to the Middle Ages. It is reported that Bulgaria is home to at least 100 skeleton burials of vampires. In Slavic folklore, the existence of vampires was a tradition that was common but it was especially popular in Bulgaria. The vampire was considered to be a beautiful supernatural being who sucked the blood from maidens. The only way to kill the vampire was to plunge a wooden stake or rod into his chest. In 2014, archaeologists discovered many graves that contained…

An extremely гагe form of cave-dwelling salamander has emerged from its egg in Slovenia’s Postojna cave. A female olm, a Gollum-like, lizard-sized amphibian residing in an aquarium in the country’s largest cave, has laid eggs, according to scientists in the Central European country. It is the first instance of observed oᴜt-of-lab reproduction of the ѕрeсіeѕ, according to the researchers. The eyeless pink animal, also known as the “baby dragon” and “human fish” because of its skin-like color, can live a century and breeds just once per decade, mainly in laboratories across Europe or deeр in caverns away from humans. Slovenian…

One of the Bible’s deepest and most important mysteries may be about to be solved.  Archeologists seem to have discovered a graveyard of the Philistines, along with the bodies of 200 people buried there, for the first time ever. And they could help to shed light on one of the most enigmatic characters in the Bible. The scientists said it did not seem to be “philistines” that the rulers of the Biblical community considered the people buried next to jewellery and perfumed oil. They will also run new checks that will shine more light on the maligned. Those discoveries might…

Erik ten Hag has hinted Jadon Sancho could be utilised as a number 10 more often by Manchester United. Sancho came back from a lengthy spell on the sidelines recently and has found himself playing in a variety of different positions since his return. In the 0-0 draw with Southampton, the former Borussia Dortmund man found himself deployed in the number 10 role and, speaking to the press, Ten Hag admitted he was impressed by Sancho’s performance in that position. He said: ”I think he did quite well as a number 10. Like he did against Barcelona and Leicester. He was really…

Manchester United has confirmed they will not appeal the decision to send Casemiro off in the draw with Southampton on Sunday. The defensive midfielder received a straight red for his high challenge on Southampton’s Carlos Alcaraz in the first half of the eventual 0-0 draw at Old Trafford. It was Casemiro’s second straight red in his last three Premier League games for Manchester United, having been given his marching orders in the win over Crystal Palace in February too. Due to the accumulation of red cards, the Brazilian is now set to face a ban of four domestic games. Despite this lengthy ban,…

La rotación del núcleo interno de la Tierra se detuvo en 2009, y podría estar invirtiéndoseEste tipo de reversiones podrían estar repitiéndose cada setenta años. El último punto de inflexión fue en la pasada década de los setenta Un equipo de investigadores de la Universidad de Pekín acaba de llegar a la inquietante conclusión de que, hacia el año 2009, la rotación del núcleo sólido interno de la Tierra se ha detenido y podría estar empezando a invertirse. El hallazgo, publicado en el último número de ‘Nature Geoscience’, hace pensar a los científicos que dicha inversión se produce de forma periódica,…

¿Por qué las leyes de la física en realidad no existen? Lo que llamamos leyes de la física a menudo son solo descripciones matemáticas de alguna parte de la naturaleza. Las leyes físicas definitivas probablemente no existen y la física es mucho mejor por ello, dice el físico teórico Sankar Das Sarma. Hace poco estaba leyendo un artículo antiguo del teórico de cuerdas Robbert Dijkgraaf en Quanta Magazine titulado » No hay leyes de la física «. Puede que le parezca un poco extraño que un físico argumente que no existen leyes de la física, pero estoy de acuerdo con él. De hecho, no solo estoy de…

Los historiadores a lo largo de los siglos han examinado el flujo y reflujo de las poblaciones en las sociedades antiguas. Pero la mayoría de estos exámenes han tendido a centrarse en eventos dominados por hombres: las guerras, la política y el dinero. Pero hay otro lado del pasado que lucha por ser escuchado por encima del choque de espadas. Es esta historia no reportada en la que se centra nuestra nueva investigación. Mis colegas y yo en la Universidad de Bournemouth y la Universidad de Varsovia usamos técnicas químicas avanzadas para estudiar la lactancia materna en algunas de las…

Scientists have estimated the Earth to be more or less 4.54 billion years old, predating even human existence. Indeed, there’s a lot more to learn about our home planet than what we were taught in schools. So, when a photo of an unusually massive bird claw surfaced online, people couldn’t help but be astounded by it. The giant claw was discovered by the members of the New Zealand Speleological Society in 1987. They were traversing the cave systems of Mount Owen in New Zealand when they unearthed a breathtaking find. It was a claw that seemed to have belonged to…

Elasmotherium, also known as the Giant Rhinoceros or the Giant Siberian Unicorn, is an extinct species of rhino that lived in the Eurasian area in the Late Pliocene and Pleistocene eras. They have been documented from 2.6 million years ago, but the most recent fossils come from around 29,000 years ago. The best known of this species, the E. sibiricum , was the size of a mammoth, covered in hair, and is thought to have had a large horn protruding from its forehead, hence the title “Siberian Unicorn”. According to early estimated descriptions, the beast stood around 2 meters (6.56 ft.) tall, 4.5 meters…

Researchers believe the 140 children were sacrificed 550 years ago by the Chimú civilisation as floods ravaged the coastline Archaeologists in northern Peru say they have found evidence of what could be the world’s largest single case of child sacrifice.

The site, located near the city of Trujillo, also contained the remains of 200 young llamas apparently sacrificed on the same day. The burial site was…

Erik ten Hag has lamented Anthony Taylor’s refereeing performance during Manchester United’s 0-0 draw with Southampton at Old Trafford. The Red Devils were forced to play the majority of the game against Southampton with ten-men after Casemiro received his second straight red in his last three Premier League appearances for a high challenge on Carlos Alcaraz. The second straight red means that United’s star midfielder will be absent for the club’s next four domestic games following a red card already this season. Another huge decision went against Ten Hag’s men during the first half too, with Armel Bella-Kotchap getting away with a…
