Oooh. Evidence of a cyclical universe uncovered?
"This paper presents powerful observational evidence of anomalous individual points in the very early universe that appear to be sources of vast amounts of energy, revealed as specific signals found in the CMB sky. Though seemingly problematic for cosmic inflation, the existence of such anomalous points is an implication of conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC), as what could be the Hawking points of the theory, these being the effects of the final Hawking evaporation of supermassive black holes in the aeon prior to ours."

"The conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) is a cosmological model in the framework of general relativity, advanced by the theoretical physicists Roger Penrose and Vahe Gurzadyan. In CCC, the universe iterates through infinite cycles, with the future timelike infinity of each previous iteration being identified with the Big Bang singularity of the next. Penrose popularized this theory in his 2010 book Cycles of Time: An Extraordinary New View of the Universe. "

Reisner Laboratory in Cambridge developed their platform to achieve unassisted solar-driven water-splitting for more efficient absorption of solar light than natural photosynthes.
A new study, led by academics at St John’s College has used semi-artificial photosynthesis to explore new ways to produce and store solar energy. They used natural sunlight to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using a mixture of biological components and manmade technologies.

Does anyone know why cameras on rovers and satellites are always so crappy? It's 2018 and they can't put in a good HD cam on those or is space and other planets really so much of an issue?
Here's an example: https://www.sciencealert.com/jap…
I understand the cameras need to withstand extreme temperatures, especially colds... but is it really impossible for them to have an iPhone X type of quality on those cams?
- having a light file probably helps when you're trying to send it 225 million kilometres awayspl33nidoru
- The wifi is really bad in deep space.PhanLo
- HD is crap anyway! I heard once someone complaining that they were still using medium format and carl ziess lens when they should be using "HD loveliness"mugwart
- all these camera phones have shit sensors and post process that filter everything. I dont want these on earth let alone space!mugwart
- hey NBQ00 have a look at this :)

- One of the best cameras ever made by man is a satellite.monospaced

"This begs the question of why some of the petroglyphs depict animals like hippos and rhinoceroses which aren't found in this part of India. Did the people who created them migrate to India from Africa? Or were these animals once found in India? "Wow!
They have a sort of Australian aboriginal quality to them, too.
- and also technical similarities to the nazca lines in south americauan
- Aye, that too!

ALIENS.Nairn - I don't think it's aliens, I think we just don't know a lot about the history of our own planet...and science is pushing our understanding in new directionsuan
- I was taking the piss.Nairn
- science expands our understandingmonospaced
- Agreed, uan. So much of our history has been lost, at Alexandria and Bagdad, and also as a result of catastrophic events like the ice age.MondoMorphic

there's is also the studies of cave stone age art done by Genevieve von Petzinger who hint to some kind of lost global civilisation.

Representatives from 60 countries voted to redefine the International System of Units (SI).
The kilogram – will be defined by the Planck constant (h)
The ampere – will be defined by the elementary electrical charge (e)
The kelvin – will be defined by the Boltzmann constant (k)
The mole – will be defined by the Avogadro constant (NA)- and an inch will be defined by the length of the President's dick._niko

A CURE FOR CANCER? ISRAELI SCIENTISTS SAY THEY THINK THEY FOUND ONE
“We believe we will offer in a year's time a complete cure for cancer."
- Pretty heavy metal comments in the articles comments section. Hope they succeed with the drugs. Still a few years away, they are currently only working on mice.BH26

https://i.ytimg.com/…Nairn - "The company is now writing patents on specific peptides, which will be a large bank of targeting toxin peptides wholly owned and hard to break, said Aridor."Nairn
- ikr? mutato?Gnash
- hmm, i wonder how the BDS wing-nuts will handle this one.Gnash
- hopefully this is it, so many miracle cures have come before this..._niko
- usually, the vapour-cures are "5-10 years away." saying "in a year's time" is a big departure from the norm.Gnash
- I want to believe, but almost every week there's a story like this. The media is terrible at covering science related stuff.yuekit
- I'd want to hear a scientist in the field explain if what they are describing sounds feasible.yuekit
- ^ yup. and it's always a little suspicious when a trading name (AEBi) is included in a non-business mag.Gnash
- re-reading it, it sounds like an investor pitch.Gnash

- The cancer industry will block this. Too much money to make with cancer.Bennn
- yep.. this is why you'll hear so many of them shitting on it. Imagine if cure is out. No more profits on cancer patients. This is promising because they createBoz
- individual treatments based on your genetics and blood cells. So they target your body specifically. Hopefully this is it as as I have lost my mom to it.Boz
- Some people are easily manipulated. I believe it when I see it!utopian
- There were many promising solutions but they shut them down in clinical trials. Hopefully new law Trump pushed for being able to try experimental treatmentsBoz
- Will allow people with terminal cancer to have hope and try to use it.Boz
- Trump's "new proposed laws" has little to do with cancer research and or clinical trials. Pharmaceutical companies are only concerned with "blockbuster drugs".utopian
- All about the Money!robthelad
- And there's too many humanz on Earth, a cure to this will mean more humanz.Bennn
- nice, we can keep polluting ourselves nowmekk
- ^ ha, I was thinking about starting up smoking againGnash
- I would love to believe they are finally coming up with something. But I also believe they do have a cure for cancer, and I think they've had it for a while.Maaku
- Hopefully it's a cure and not a treatment to lessen the symptoms, like most medicine.Maaku
