But is this really the case? The simple answer is that plants certainly exchange information with one another and other organisms such as insects.

The batch of documents made available through the Freedom of Information Act also reveal Tesla did not die on January 7, 1943, as previously believed, but a day later on January 8. The FBI has finally declassified a number of top-secret documents that the bureau confiscated upon Tesla’s death, confirming a long lasting conspiracy theory that the FBI did in fact have high interest in Tesla’s work, and that they confiscated nearly all of his work for reasons of ‘national security.’

Long have we waited for the declassification of the confidential documents taken by the FBI after Tesla’s death. Now, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, numerous conspiracy theories have been confirmed, and new details about Tesla, his inventions, and his death have come to light. Russia declassified secret images from Venus that show extraterrestrial life.

The Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, published a series of photographs, taken by the Venera probe which allegedly show evidence of living organisms on Venus, one of the most inhospitable places for humans in the solar system.

Russia declassified secret images from Venus that show extraterrestrial life

Venus, the second planet from the sun is the most similar planet in our solar system in terms of size and structure to Earth. In terms of the surface it is anything but Earth-like. It is the hottest planet in the solar system, mainly due to its atmosphere which is 97 percent carbon dioxide, a heat trapping greenhouse gas. The constant temperature on Venus is 480 degrees Celsius, a temperature which is hot enough to melt lead and it even hotter than the nearest planet to the Sun, Mercury.

According to Russian scientist Leonid Ksanfomaliti, this image, taken from aRussian probe that landed on Venus in 1982, we can see a scorpion-shaped life form. Theconversation. Vaginas are so hot right now.

If that sentence shocks you, then you’ve been out of the cultural loop. Thanks to a new wave of television and autobiographies by some very funny women, female privates have moved to the front and centre of popular entertainment. Male bits, once the only game in town, are now chiefly of interest only as a sidebar to hilarious female riffs on misfiring, awkward and unsatisfactory sex, thanks to recent work by the likes of Lena Dunham, Britain’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge (writer, actor and star of BBC series Fleabag), and now Amy Schumer, whose smash hit “femoir”, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo, recently hit stores.

This is all part of a new movement – what I like to call “gross-out feminism”. It is gleeful, honest to a fault, and practised exclusively by women who long ago kissed goodbye to the capacity to be embarrassed. Robert Lanza, M.D. – BIOCENTRISM » Is Death An Illusion? Evidence Suggests Death Isn’t the End. After the death of his old friend, Albert Einstein said “Now Besso has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me.

Robert Lanza, M.D. – BIOCENTRISM » Is Death An Illusion? Evidence Suggests Death Isn’t the End

That means nothing. People like us … know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” New evidence continues to suggest that Einstein was right – death is an illusion. Our classical way of thinking is based on the belief that the world has an objective observer-independent existence. But a long list of experiments shows just the opposite. We believe in death because we’ve been taught we die. Genetic study points to Indigenous Australians as the oldest continuous society on Earth. The most comprehensive genetic study of Indigenous Australians to date indicates that the group is the oldest continuous civilisation on Earth, dating back more than 50,000 years ago - and that modern Indigenous Australians are the descendants of the first people to settle Australia.

Genetic study points to Indigenous Australians as the oldest continuous society on Earth

The new paper, alongside two others published today in Nature, reveal important information about the origins and migratory history of our species, including insight into the common ancestors of all non-African humans alive today. According to the DNA results in two of the papers, most modern Eurasians are descended from a single wave of migrants that left Africa around 72,000 years ago.

From that original migration, Indigenous Australians and Papuans (ancestors of indigenous people from New Guinea) split off and ventured across the sea around 58,000 years ago before arriving in Australia roughly 50,000 years ago - and were likely the first humans to cross an ocean.

We finally know how water bears became so damn unkillable. Water bears, or tardigrades as they're officially known, are chubby little anomalies that are damn near indestructible - they can bounce back from total desiccation, endure the greatest temperature extremes we can throw at them, and can even survive the frozen vacuum of space.

We finally know how water bears became so damn unkillable

Now a team of scientists in Japan has sequenced their genomes, and finally shed some light on how they got so tough. It turns out tardigrades have developed a range of handy tools to help them avoid death time and time again - including a protein that acts as an in-built radiation shield for DNA. Even cooler, the researchers showed that, when incorporated into human cells, this radiation-blocking protein also reduced the damage to human DNA from X-rays by an impressive 40 percent. 2,100-year-old human skeleton has been found at the mysterious Antikythera shipwreck. An international team of archaeologists excavating the famous Antikythera shipwreck in the Aegean Sea off the coast of Greece have found the remains of a human skeleton among the 2,100-year-old wreckage.

If they can extract DNA from the bones, it'll help us understand more about the passengers on board the ship when it sank around 65 BC – and could provide vital insight into the mysterious Antikythera Mechanism it was carrying, better known as the world’s first computer. This is the crazy government conspiracy theory that inspired 'Stranger Things' The deep dive on our favourite summer show isn’t done yet. It turns out that Netflix’s sci-fi hit “Stranger Things” resembles very closely an alleged real-life government experiment known as “The Montauk Project.”

As Thrillist reports, The Montauk Project is claimed to have been a series of government experiments that were done at Camp Hero or Montauk Air Force Station in Montauk, Long Island. Stories of the experiments have circulated since the 1980s, saying they focused on psychological warfare techniques and things like time travel, teleportation, and mind control.

(Though the stories, many of which come from supposed repressed memories, are not at all confirmed and should be taken with a grain of salt.) As for “Stranger Things”? “Described as a love letter to the ’80s classics that captivated a generation, the series is set in 1980 Montauk, Long Island, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. This solar plant accidentally incinerates up to 6,000 birds a year. A solar power plant in California is accidentally killing up to 6,000 birds every year, with staff reporting that the birds keep flying into its concentrated beams of sunlight, and spontaneously bursting into flames. The problem has been going on since the site opened in 2014, and the team says it's trying everything to save the birds from a fiery fate. But so far, the perfect solution has eluded them.

This simple triangle will change the way you think about maths forever. Okay, let's get something straight right off the bat - logarithmic notation in maths is bad and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And on the one hand, who cares, because maths is so much more than notation anyway. But on the other hand, it makes things way more complicated than they should be. Futurism - Building the future together. Baba Vanga.
