Arecibo telescope finds critical ingredients for the soup of life in a galaxy far, far away
This is just tomato soup, not the “soup of life.”
Astronomers from Arecibo Observatory radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, have detected for the first time the molecules methanimine and hydrogen cyanide – two ingredients that build life-forming amino acids – in a galaxy some 250 million light years away.
“Just add water!” said Robert Minchin, an [...]
Supercomputer could throw light on ‘mysterious’ dark energy
Looks pretty cool, eh?
Cosmologists have run a series of huge computer simulations of the Universe that could ultimately help solve the mystery of dark energy.
Results of the simulations, carried out by Durham University’s world-leading Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC), tell researchers how to measure dark energy – a repulsive force that counteracts gravity.
The findings, published [...]
Parallel universes, could they really exist?
Just a couple parallel universes
An article published yesterday suggested the idea that our universe may be no more than a “speck of cosmic dust” amongst the infinite number of parallel worlds. This idea isn’t really anything new, however, an increasing number of scientists are beginning to at least warm up to the idea of [...]
