My soul looks back and wonders. The details are not hard to remember, at least some of them aren’t. They haunt and somewhere lodged in the cracks and crevices of the memories are indications of what was to come. Past as prologue, I guess, or as prophecy. I have avoided returning to these lectures for … Read moreThe Only Answer to the Country’s Troubles
In the early 2000s, one in 12 of the British population was born abroad. Now that figure is closer to one in six—higher than even America, the proverbial land of immigrants. And the number is still rising rapidly; over the last two years, almost 2 million people have moved to the U.K. How did this … Read moreHow Britain Beat America at Immigration
As we mark Passover, when Jews celebrate their founding liberation from a tyrannical Pharaoh who enslaved them, the sages remind us Pharaohs come in all guises and liberation is not a one-time event. It must be re-enacted in each generation and in each heart. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Today,16 million Jews in a world of eight billion … Read moreExodus From Bibi
A cluster of five enormous Stone Age structures in County Wicklow, Ireland, may have been built as a means of delineating the path taken by the souls of the dead as they ascend to the eternal realm. Known as cursus monuments, the constructions are extremely rare in Ireland but relatively common in Britain, although archaeologists … Read moreNeolithic Monuments In Ireland May Mark Out The Path To Heaven
NASA’s planet-hunting telescope Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered its first free-floating, or rogue, planet. It is a terrestrial object, likely bigger than Earth but not by too much. This candidate object was discovered within the analysis of 1.3 million light curves collected by the space observatories over its years in orbit. Rogue planets … Read moreStarless Rogue Planet As Heavy As 10 Earths Found By NASA Telescope
A former NASA engineer working on a propellant-less propulsion drive has claimed that the device can deliver enough thrust to achieve lift in Earth’s gravity, an effect which should not take place under our current understanding of physics. Dr Charles Buhler, who worked on a range of programs while at NASA, has since co-founded Exodus … Read moreNASA Engineer Claims Major Discovery Of New Force In Physics, But Many Aren’t Convinced
There are many impressive things about birds. Some soar for miles without ever flapping their wings; some live for over half a century; and some are literal rainbows. But when you look at a bird gliding high up in the distance, have you ever wondered just how high they can go? The species that holds … Read moreWhat Is The Highest A Bird Can Fly?
Around five million years ago, the rivers of North America were home to an enormous salmon that would make today’s largest specimens look like minnows. It may have grown up to 8.9 feet (2.7 meters) long and was thought to have incredibly long fangs like a saber-toothed tiger. However, new research has found that this … Read moreGiant 2.7-Meter-Long Prehistoric Salmon Had Tusk-Like Teeth Rather Than Massive Fangs
A UK man has become one of the first to receive an experimental mRNA vaccine designed to prevent recurrence of melanoma skin cancer. Steve Young, a 52-year-old musician, had a stage II melanoma removed previously, and said the shot is his “best chance” at stopping the cancer coming back. “I feel lucky to be part … Read moreWorld-First mRNA Vaccine For Skin Cancer Commences Landmark Phase 3 Trial
Propulsion is always a big deal when it comes to space missions. Every gram counts when going up into space, so the more energy-dense your fuel is the better. You also usually can’t refuel once you are out there. An alternative solution, which doesn’t have this problem, is using a solar sail. By taking advantage … Read moreNASA Deploys New Solar Sail Technology As 80-Square-Meter Sail Unfurls In Space
