Bones of giant steppe bison and traces of their ice-age hunters have led researchers to conclude that early humans likely colonized North America sout..>> view originalNew algorithm developed at MIT for imaging black holes
Everybody knows you can’t see a black hole. Nothing gets out, not even light. Except that, as with most conventional wisdom, isn’t the whole story. Leaving aside the can of worms labeled Hawking radiation, we still know that the matter falling into a black hole heats up as it falls in. In theory, we can pick that up with a good old radio telescope. But black holes are so far away that we need way better angular resolution than any telescope we currently have, if we want to confirm these predict..>> view originalWorld's Most Confused Fish Gets Stuck INSIDE A Jellyfish

A species of tropical fish can differentiate between human faces, the first time fish have been found to possess such recognition, according to researchers. Archerfish, distinguished by their black and silver striped scales, can accurately recognise one face from another during staged testing, a joint study from the University of Oxford and Queensland found. The fish were trained individually to select faces on a monitor in view of their tank and pick out a face they had learned from 44 new fac..>> view originalEscape From A Black Hole?
