Parallel universes are no longer just a feature of a good sci-fi story. There are now some scientific theories that support the idea of parallel universes beyond our own. However, the multiverse theory remains one of the most controversial theories in science. Here we are going talk about different theories supporting the concept of Parallel […]
General relativity, part of the wide-ranging physical theory of relativity formed by the German-born physicist Albert Einstein. It was conceived by Einstein in 1915. It explains gravity based on the way space can ‘curve’, or, to put it more accurately, it associates the force of gravity with the changing geometry of space-time. ( Einstein’s gravity) […]
Some dog owners believe their pup can “speak” to them by using paw-friendly buttons that say prerecorded words. On social media, some of these “button dogs” seem to be doing surprisingly intelligent things, like combining two words to create a unique meaning: “squeaker” + “car” = ambulance. But can dogs really use language in this […]
Black holes can destroy everything – but can they be destroyed? What happens if we push physics to the absolute limits, maybe even break it and the universe in the process? Let’s create a tiny black hole, about the mass of our moon, in the Kurzgesagt Labs and try to rip it apart.
An ancient group of six exoplanets whose orbits are unchanged for billions of years could tell us about how planetary systems like our own solar system formed. In 2020, astronomers discovered a pair of resonant planets around the star HD110067, about 100 light-years away, using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). But Luque and his […]
Agencia SINC Una nueva investigación con el telescopio espacial James Webb sobre K2-18 b, un exoplaneta 8,6 veces más masivo que la Tierra, ha revelado la presencia de moléculas que contienen carbono, entre ellas metano y dióxido de carbono (CO2). Este descubrimiento se suma a estudios recientes y observaciones del Hubble que sugieren que este mundo podría ser un planeta hicéano: con una atmósfera […]
Let’s use 3D animation to go inside the Enigma Machine!
An inside look at the basic systems that make up a standard car engine.
Humanity is a type 0 civilization. Here’s what types 1, 2, and 3 look like, according to physicist Michio Kaku.
After an oil spill, humans rush to the scene to minimize impacts on the environment. But if the oil sticks around long enough, nature’s responders start to roll in. Bacteria such as Alcanivorax borkumensis thrive in these settings, using the components of petroleum as a source of energy and carbon. Now, a group of biophysicists […]
Agencia SINC Neurocientíficos y neurocirujanos de la Escuela Politécnica Federal de Lausana (EPFL), el Hospital Universitario de Lausana (ambos en Suiza), y de la Universidad de Burdeos (Francia) han diseñado e implantado una neuroprótesis destinada a mejorar la marcha de pacientes con párkinson. En un estudio publicado en Nature Medicine, los investigadores detallan el proceso de […]
Agencia SINC Los viajes tripulados a Marte previstos para las próximas décadas necesitarán oxígeno, una molécula esencial para la actividad humana que, además, se utiliza en los propulsores de los cohetes y los sistemas de soporte vital. Transportar este tipo de sustancias desde la Tierra es complejo y costoso, por lo que una de las formas de simplificar […]
Brian Cox explains the significance of black holes in the quest for a quantum theory of gravity and a deeper understanding of space and time. According to Cox, black holes are intriguing because they challenge the compatibility of quantum theory and general relativity, creating a fundamental clash in our understanding of nature. Unifying these two […]
Agencia SINC El cáncer de próstata es uno de los tumores con mayor incidencia entre los varones adultos en países occidentales; de hecho, uno de cada nueve hombres por encima de 65 años desarrollará un cáncer de próstata invasivo con elevada tasa de morbilidad y mortalidad. En este tipo de tumor, el porcentaje total de grasa […]
