Behold the “Quasar Tsunami,” Which Can Kill an Entire Galaxy

Posted by in categories: cosmology, materials

O,.o possible higgs field containment device could stop the rupture and other ways to destroy the root of the problem too.


New data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope details what may be the most powerful phenomena in the universe: the “quasar tsunami,” a cosmic storm of such terrifying proportions that it can tear apart an entire galaxy.

“No other phenomena carries more mechanical energy,” said principal investigator Nahum Arav of Virginia Tech in a statement. “The winds are pushing hundreds of solar masses of material each year. The amount of mechanical energy that these outflows carry is up to several hundreds of times higher than the luminosity of the entire Milky Way galaxy.”

Major new breakthrough could help reveal the origin of the universe, scientists say

Posted by in categories: cosmology, innovation

Scientists have made a major breakthrough that could help us understand the origin of our universe, they say.

Researchers have discovered hints of a difference between the behaviour of neutronos and antineutrinos. That, in turn, could help demonstrate why there is so much matter relative to antimatter in the universe – and, in turn, how everything that surrounds us came to be.

Pizza Bot

Venezia’s New York Style Pizza in Phoenix, Arizona is now delivering pies by first sanitizing the inside and outside of a Starship robot and placing the robot inside.

The robot then travels to customers within a half mile radius. They can even hop curbs and operate in snowy conditions. Human operators back at HQ can take control over them any time as well.

We can identify ‘bad’ genes. Why can’t we use CRISPR gene editing to get rid of them?

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, genetics

A desirable option would be to use CRISPR gene editing to essentially cut out the unwanted gene. There are, however, many challenges ahead.


If you want to remove an undesirable gene from a population, you have a couple theoretical options — one that most people might find unthinkable, and one that lies outside our current scientific abilities.
