A friend recently asked: how can we seriously read philosophers from before the 18th century, now that we know of their lack of knowledge regarding the cosmos and the universe? How can we read them and draw any serious conclusions now that we know that they knew almost nothing that we currently do, based on…

At a point within this book, the great scientist was contemplating on the human existence. His philosophy? Astonishingly shallow. For Nanopoulos, we just happened to exist in a random universe. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just happened.…

Quantum entanglement in living organisms? The complexity of simple definitions.
Researchers managed to generate and study quantum entanglement in living organisms. In the study, scientists used green fluorescent proteins, which are responsible for bioluminescence and commonly used in biomedical research. The research team attempted to entangle the photons generated from the fluorescing molecules within the algae's barrel-shaped protein structure by exposing them to spontaneous four-wave…

Resurrection? Difficult to believe? But it happens all the time. And science is the first to acknowledge it!
Life on Earth originated in an intimate partnership between the nucleic acids (genetic instructions for all organisms) and small proteins called peptides, according to two new papers from biochemists and biologists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Auckland. Their "peptide-RNA" hypothesis contradicts the widely-held "RNA-world" hypothesis, which states…

Divorce. Separation. Matter. Soul.
Children of divorced parents are more likely to get divorced when compared to those who grew up in two-parent families - and genetic factors are the primary explanation, according to a study by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University and Lund University in Sweden. The study's findings are notable because they diverge from the predominant narrative…
