In an exciting paleontological breakthrough, researchers have uncovered the fossil of an extraordinary prehistoric snake, Vasuki indicus, which measured an astonishing 50 feet in length and likely weighed over 2,200 pounds. Found in the Panandhro Lignite Mine in Gujarat’s Kutch region, India, the fossil reveals a massive predator from the Middle Eocene period, about 47 million years ago. This discovery, …

But scientists have long suggested there may be far fewer galaxies in our cosmic surroundings than expected. In fact, it appears we live in a giant cosmic void with roughly 20% lower than the average density of matter. Not every …

Scientists are raising urgent alarms about the possibility of a supervolcano eruption that could occur in the coming years—an event with the potential for catastrophic destruction on a scale not witnessed since the early 19th century. This growing threat shines a harsh light on humanity’s lack of preparedness and sparks serious questions about whether civilization is ready to face such …

A study analyzing JWST observations of the early universe has uncovered an intriguing mystery: most galaxies appear to be rotating in the same direction. This unexpected pattern, which defies current cosmological models, has led the study’s authors to propose a bold possibility: that our universe might exist inside a black hole. The JWST has allowed astronomers to peer back further …

Scientists equipped with giant lasers have blown up gold at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, heating it to 14 times its melting point. For a chilling second, they thought they broke physics, but they fortunately did no such thing. That said, they broke something else: a decades-long model in physical chemistry having to do with the fundamental properties of matter. In …
