But here's where things get really interesting; Sandora postulates that if multiple universes exist with vastly different cosmic recipes, this statistical approach becomes exponentially more powerful. In a multiverse scenario, the relative abundances of different planetary environments could vary drastically between universes. Some might be packed with rogue planets drifting through the void, others dominated by water worlds or tidally locked planets in binary systems.

A Definitive List Of History’s Creepiest Cryptids — And Where They Allegedly Live

The Ya-Te-Veo

The idea of man-eating plants has been utilized in plenty of modern media, like the 1986 movie Little Shop of Horrors. It isn’t a completely far-fetched idea — after all, species like the Venus flytrap show that carnivorous plants exist. Taking that idea to the extreme is simply good entertainment.

However, an 1874 New York World article written by a purported German explorer named Karl Leche claimed that man-eating plants were real.

According to Leche — who was actually the author Edmund Spencer writing under a pseudonym — he met a tribe known as the Mkodo when he was exploring Madagascar. While he was with the tribe, Leche claimed to have witnessed a bizarre ritual sacrifice in which the tribe offered up a human to a carnivorous tree. The bloodthirsty plant then devoured the sacrifice.

Though the Madagascar tale was eventually confirmed to be a hoax, a different book by author James W. Buel, Sea and Land, had already introduced the public to another story of the man-eating tree in 1889. This one was given the name ya-te-veo, and this legendary plant not only appeared in Africa but also Central and South America.

The ya-te-veo name endured, and terrified those who believed in it, as it supposedly used its long branches to catch unsuspecting prey, including insects, bigger animals like horses, and humans who got too close to it.

Time travel—long the domain of science fiction and theoretical physics—might not be such a modern concept after all. While today’s scientists debate wormholes and quantum realms, some of the oldest spiritual texts in the world may have already explored the phenomenon in detail. Hindu mythology, with its vast cosmic timelines, mysterious avatars, and otherworldly journeys, offers astonishing parallels to what we now call time travel. Could ancient sages have possessed knowledge of temporal shifts long before Einstein?Let’s dive into the stories, scriptures, and symbols that suggest time travel might have been hiding in plain sight—in the sacred texts of Hinduism.

Ancient Wisdom or Advanced Science?

Skeptics may call these stories allegorical, but the parallels with contemporary physics are too profound to ignore. Concepts such as:

• Relativity of time

• Parallel universes and realms

• Non-linear time perception

• Multiverse theory

all echo what ancient Hindu texts have been conveying for millennia—albeit in poetic, symbolic, and mythological language.

Now, a US-based trio hunting this elusive world has instead stumbled on what appears to be a new dwarf planet in the solar system's outer reaches.

And the existence of this new kid on the block could challenge the Planet Nine theory, the researchers have calculated.

Named 2017 OF201, the new object is roughly 700 kilometers (430 miles) across, according to a preprint study, which has not been peer-reviewed, published online last week.

That makes it three times smaller than Pluto.

But it is still big enough to be considered a dwarf planet.

This revolutionary finding has profound implications. If Norton is right — that time travel won't require exotic materials — and Costa and Tobar are correct — that time travel doesn't alter the future — it opens the door for time travel technology to evolve beyond fictional ideas of secret inventions or unpredictable glitches in the universe. Instead, it could follow the trajectory of other breakthrough technologies—gradually becoming accessible, eventually commercial.

Scientists believe that, in the earliest life forms, genetic material would have been carried and replicated by strands of RNA, before DNA and proteins later emerged and took over.

Yet getting strands of RNA to replicate in the lab in a simple way—i.e., that plausibly could have occurred at the outset of life—has proved challenging. RNA strands zip up into a double helix that blocks their replication. Like Velcro, these are hard to pull apart and quick to stick back together, leaving no time to copy them.

In a study described in Nature Chemistry, researchers overcame this problem by using three-letter "triplet" RNA building blocks in water and adding acid and heat, which separated the double helix. They then neutralized and froze the solution.

"We already have the tools to find out where it might impact. But what we don't know is, is it a rock, is it a loose pile of gravel or is it a solid block of iron?

"Without that information, we don't know whether to launch a missile to change its trajectory or whether to let it be. We don't know whether it's going to cause mass destruction or a nice little meteor shower."

Until recently, many scientists believed only humans could build layered vocal structures. This belief helped reinforce the idea of a divide between us and other animals.

But our discovery adds to a growing body of research showing this divide may not be so clear-cut. Studies on great apes and other animals such as lemurs, whales and dolphins have revealed they are capable of rhythmic structuring, vocal learning, combining signals and sounds to make new ones, and even using vowels and consonants. These findings suggest the roots of language may lie in shared evolutionary mechanisms.

Human language is unique in many ways. But it probably did not appear suddenly. Even the most striking traits in life evolve by reshaping what already exists, through the slow work of variation and natural selection. Our work suggests the brain systems needed to build recursive patterns were present in our ancestors millions of years ago.

Much of the data we see touted as evidence for extraterrestrial life comes from light years away, via one instrument, and without any in situ samples.

The search for extraterrestrial life is not held to a higher standard of scientific rigour but it is constrained by an inability to independently detect and attribute multiple lines of evidence.

For now, the claims about K2-18 b remain compelling but inconclusive.

That doesn’t mean we aren’t making progress. Each new observation adds to a growing body of knowledge about the universe and our place in it. The search continues – not because we’re too cautious, but because we are rightly so.

The pebble from San Lázaro rock-shelter presents a series of characteristics that render it exceptional, based on which we have deemed it a visual symbol that could be considered a piece of portable art in some contexts. We use the term ‘portable art’ here in the broad archaeological sense, referring to deliberately modified or marked objects with possible symbolic significance, rather than implying figurative representation or aesthetic intention.

Finally, the fact that the pebble was selected because of its appearance and then marked with ocher shows that there was a human mind capable of symbolizing, imagining, idealizing and projecting his or her thoughts on an object. Furthermore, in this case, we can propose that three fundamental cognitive processes are involved in creating art: the mental conception of an image, deliberate communication, and the attribution of meaning. These are the basic elements characterizing symbolism and, also prehistoric -nonfigurative- art. Furthermore, this pebble could thus represent one of the oldest known abstractions of a human face in the prehistoric record, according to the hypothesis of Face Pareidolia.
