It’s been almost 30 years since “Speed” first peeled into cinemas — and our hearts — and unsurprisingly, it still holds up. It’s hard not to love a film as gonzo as “Speed,” a film that (if you really think about it) is pretty much three action movies in one. It’s mostly about a bus that’s been rigged by a bomb, forcing its passengers and the LAPD to defuse it without decelerating below 50 mph — but there’s also the high-octane elevator evacuation that opens the film, and the subway hijack that closes it. Momentum is truly the name of…

Long before Vin Diesel headlined Fast and The Furious, he was in the running to star in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Via: TheThings Back when New Line Cinemas decided to produce three Lord of the Rings movies at the same time, it is hard to overstate how risky that was. Not only did the three films have to live up to the expectations that had been built up for decades, the movies were directed by Peter Jackson who’d mostly made low-budget movies at that time. Thankfully for everyone involved, fans loved the Lord of the Rings movies and everyone knows…

A study has found that the largest planet in our solar system – Jupiter – is sling shooting objects into the inner solar system that could impact the Earth. It was earlier believed that Jupiter protects Earth from asteroids but new theory has suggested that it may be doing more harm. Space expert Kevin Grazier has questioned the Jupiter Shield Theory, which said that Jupiter acts as a celestial shielf to protect Earth from any harmful object. Grazier has published several paper explaining why he feels that Jupiter is a ‘sniper rather than a shield’. “Actually, I wouldn’t say that…

The weird behavior of a galaxy around a billion light-years away suggests that it might contain one of the most highly anticipated events in modern astronomy. Fluctuations in light from the center of the galaxy SDSS J1430+2303 look suspiciously like a pair of supermassive black holes with a combined mass of around 200 million Suns destined for an imminent collision with each other. “Imminent” in cosmic terms can often stretch on for whole lifetimes. Fortunately in this case, astronomers predict that if the signal is indeed the result of colossal black holes they will merge within the next three years. It may…

The universe’s largest diamond isn’t on Earth. BPM 37093 or V886 Centauri is a white dwarf star. White dwarfs are “extinct” or “dead” stars. V886 Centauri is a diamond-shaped planet. White dwarf star’s core is 10-billion-trillion-trillion-carat diamond. V886 Centauri, 50 light-years away, is in Centaurus. It’s a brightly throbbing light. Observing pulsations helped pinpoint the star’s interior. Carbon and oxygen make up most of the star’s composition, but scientists detected diamond-like carbon inside. As a white dwarf cools and crystallizes, diamonds form. It’s 4000 km across. Scientists say 90% of V886 Centauri’s mass has solidified. V886 Centauri has been called…

Gliese 710, also known as HIP 89825, is an orange star with a mass of 0.6 M that resides in the constellation Serpens Cauda. It is predicted to pass near to the Sun in approximately 1.29 million years, at a minimum distance of 0.1663 light-years (10,520 astronomical units) (around 160 billion kilometers) — roughly one-quarter of the current distance to Proxima Centauri. At this distance, the brightness would be equivalent to that of the brightest planets, with a magnitude of around 2.7. (brighter than Mars at opposition). The true motion of the star will peak at around one arcminute per…

Another brilliant discovery made in the state of Bihar, India. It seems that 2 artificial caves have been located at a distance of around 22 miles from the town of Gaya. According to researchers, 2,400 years ago, they were artificially developed.

The only feature about these caves that surprises researchers are the completely thick arches and how smooth the walls are, things that are incredibly well described for the period they are part of.…
