…and it could mess things up. Because Earth’s interior is still cooling, and will continue to do so, this means that eventually the interior will solidify, and the geological activity will cease, possibly turning Earth into a barren rock, akin to Mars or Mercury. New research has revealed that may happen sooner than previously thought….

Google Just Gave You the Best Reason Yet to Finally Quit Using Chrome
A change in cookies is their reason… because Google–like every advertising platform–uses cookies to know what types of ads to show you, getting rid of them was complicated. Actually, it wasn’t really that complicated for Google, which doesn’t even need third-party cookies to know what you’re interested in, since it literally runs the website where…
Solar System Exists Inside a Giant, Mysterious Void, And We Finally Know Why
The Solar System floats in the middle of a peculiarly empty region of space. A team of astronomers led by the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) has now mapped the Local Bubble with the highest precision yet – and found that the Local Bubble was likely carved out of the interstellar medium by…

Scientists discovered an unexpected force that may have helped create life on Earth
Scientists may have found more evidence of how life on Earth came to be. The culprit? Solar wind. According to a new study, solar wind could be one of the forces responsible for helping provide the water molecules needed to create the Earth’s oceans, rivers, and lakes. The new idea could help us understand more…
Fusion Reaction Has Generated More Energy Than Absorbed by The Fuel

Scientists spot ‘intruder’ flying through space and disturbing distant star
Sounds intriguing…Scientists have spotted an “intruder” disturbing a forming star in a distant star system. Usually, when such disturbances happen, they don’t happen by intruders, but by stars that have grown up together close next to each other. Stars tend to form with other stars, and those siblings – sometimes as many as four of…
Scientists discovered a massive new world and they have no idea how it formed
The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope has discovered a brand-new world. What makes this new discovery so intriguing, though, is that scientists are scratching their heads about it. Because of how hot the two-star system is, it doesn’t make sense for planets to have formed within it. As such, scientists are perplexed at how…
