Widespread misinterpretations pertaining to mass coral bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) transpired across various news sources in Australia. According to The Australian , Russell Reichelt, chairman of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, initially blamed activist scientists and lobby groups on misleading maps, surveys and data regarding the extent and impact of coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. There were headlines that stated about 93 percent of the reef is practica..>> view originalCats use laws of physics to find objects that are invisible to them, scientists from Japan reveal
A group of scientists in Japan have made a weird statement. They are of the opinion that cats understand physics. They have been studying cats for a long time and have come to the conclusion that cats seem to use their hearing to ascertain whether objects that they can't see exist. Moreover, they also seem to understand the principle of cause and effect. This basically means cats understand that actions can lead to reactions. Kyoto University published its results in the scientific journal Anim..>> view originalEven a Maths teacher can't solve this, can you?
It's the seemingly simple maths puzzle that is driving people on Facebook to despair as they debate what the correct answer is. The puzzle, which was posted to Facebook page Trending in China, features flowers being used in place of numbers in equations.It has drawn a lot of attention on the social media site, where it has had more than 1,200 likes and 1,700 comments. In the puzzle, which is posted as a graphic, there are three lines showing what different combinations of flowers add up to.

The disturbing Fermi Paradox suggests we should have made contact with an extraterrestrial civilisation by now, yet we haven’t. By applying a 500-year-old philosophical principle, a Cornell University researcher has shown that the Great Silence is not unexpected — we just need to give it more time.

The key to counteracting carbon emission and global food shortage due to climate change may rest upon a 700-year-old farming technique from West Africa, according to a study led by the University of Sussex. Apparently, this ancient method transforms ...>> view originalReview: Giving Gene Editing Technology CRISPR-Cas9 a Boost
Review: Giving Gene Editing Technology CRISPR-Cas9 a Boost A new gene editing technology called CRISPR-Cas9 has taken the scientific world by storm. It allows researchers to quickly and easily make changes to the DNA of humans, animals and plants. The hope is that CRISPR-Cas9 may be used in the future to eliminate or correct faulty genes that cause disease. In a recent issue of the journal Cell, Lynne E. Maquat, Ph.D. and Maximilian W. Popp, Ph.D. of the University of Rochester Center f..>> view originalAntarctic CO 2 Hit 400 PPM for First Time in 4 Million Years
We’re officially living in a new world. Carbon dioxide has been steadily rising since the start of the Industrial Revolution, setting a new high year after year. There’s a notable new entry to the record books. The last station on Earth without a 400 parts per million (ppm) reading has reached it. A little 400 ppm history. Three years ago, the world’s gold standard carbon dioxide observatory passed the symbolic threshold of 400 ppm. Other observing stations have steadily reached that threshold a..>> view originalGoogle Earth Helps Archaeologists Discover Massive Monument in Petra
