Researchers have discovered traces of ancient oceans in meteorites which were found in 1984, the 4-billion-year old fragments contain organic compounds which are “key ingredients of life”.

Scientists have a new explanation for an explosive cosmic event in 1908 that flattened trees for hundreds of miles in a remote Siberian forest.
I’ve just been reading about reaction time and intelligence. That got me wondering if IQ could be calculated by comparing reaction time age to chronological age at https://www.justpark.com/creative/reaction-time-test/. The average reaction time age I got, with 10 attempts, was 38(rounded to nearest whole number). My actual age is 63.
Take this simple test, and we’ll gauge your age based on your reaction time.
Recently discovered ‘single-pixel vision’ in fish could help researchers understand how humans are able to spot tiny details in their environment—like stars in the sky.
In a paper published this week, researchers at the University of Sussex found that zebrafish are able to use a single photoreceptor to spot their tiny prey.
This photoreceptor is like an ‘eye pixel’ and seems to provide enough of a signal for the fish to go and investigate the stimulus.

So everybody likes to ride the roads, but no one likes to endure the roadwork. Sound familiar? We have all found ourselves shaking a fist or two at some construction workers, maybe even pointing our favorite finger at them to drive home the point of our frustration. If only there were a way to lay pavement in a quick, efficient manner? You know, something that had the style and panache of R2D2 that operated with the work ethic of your grandfather.
Well, check out this little wonder. Known as the Fastlane Paver, it is produced by Volvo and works quite well. Most paving machines will lay asphalt or concrete, then get smoothed out by a Caterpillar Steam roller or tamping machine to make the surface smooth and drivable. Not the case with the Fastlane though. It is an all in one paver. Capable of laying aggregate and pervious concrete, this machine can lay down a three meter wide strip at a distance of 18 lineal meters without stopping. Yep, you read that right. It does all of this in one pass, with no break.
