Scientists have long suspected that quantum mechanics enables two observers to experience different and conflicting realities– until an experiment was conducted, with the results suggesting that objective reality does not exist. In a study published recently in…
A recently published study showed findings that in the past million years, the high-altitude winds of the southern westerly wind belt – which spans nearly half the Earth – did not behave as uniformly over the Southern Pacific, as initially assumed. The researchers…
A new study concludes that the season in which earthquake happens can affect the impact of ground failure and potential destruction. The paper, published in Seismological Research Letters journal, said the 1887 Magnitude 7.3 Verny earthquake and the nearby 1911…
Researchers were able to get a better idea of what kind of megathrust seismic activity was behind the 1700 Cascadia earthquake by combining models of Magnitude 9 to 9.2 earthquakes on the Cascadia Subduction Zone with geological evidence of past coastal changes….
A new type of storm was discovered on Saturn's surface. The researchers analyzed hundreds of snapshots taken by amateur astronomers and developed simulations to understand the strange weather events. Telescope imagery revealed long patches of bright clouds near…
A recently published study suggests that strong winter dust storms may have caused the Akkadian empire to collapse. The research said fossil coral records from Oman provided new evidence that frequent dust storms and prolonged winter season contributed to the…
New research by NASA scientists revealed that flooding rice fields – a previously unknown risk factor – triggered a disastrous effect following the fatal 2018 Palu earthquake in Indonesia. Shortly after the extreme shaking, the solid ground turned into a landslide…
A study published on October 14, 2019, shows a new geophysical phenomenon where a heavy storm can trigger seismic events in the nearby ocean as powerful as a 3.5 magnitude earthquake. Lead author Wenyuan Fan, an assistant professor of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric…
A recently published study found that Antartica's ice sheets are still emitting radioactive chlorine from marine nuclear weapon tests in the 1950s. This suggests that Antartica regions contain and release the radioactive element differently than what was…
A gigantic energy blast called Seyfert flare punched out from the center of the Milky Way around 3.5 million years ago. According to astronomers' report on October 6, 2019, more evidence has been revealed relating the Fermi bubbles – apparent remnants of a…
