One Christian blogger has been analysing earthquake forecasting website The Big Wobble and has drawn the conclusion that the end of days are near. According to The Big Wobble, several earthquakes will hit in the coming weeks – some registering as high as magnitude nine, which would be truly devastating. But one Christian believes this

The Bermuda Triangle is a loosely-defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, where a number of aircraft and vessels are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. However, it may not be the only one of its kind. The Devil’s Sea, also known as the Dragon’s Triangle, is an area of the Pacific Ocean, near
Many have dedicated their lives to searching for the mythical city, first written about by Greek philosopher Plato in 360BC. However, a discovery on the Azores islands, near Portugal, led historians to believe the land breaching the sea today could be part of the lost city of Atlantis. Archaeologist Nuno Ribeiro, from the Portuguese Association of Archaeologist Research, claims

We’ve had chances. Lots of chances. But humanity has a history of squandering chances, despite everything we know about climate change. Despite everything riding on us addressing it. As it happens, the odds may still be in our favour. A new study estimates there’s a 64 percent chance that peak global average temperature rise

In recent years, the number of extra-solar planets discovered around nearby M-type (red dwarf stars) has grown considerably. In many cases, these confirmed planets have been “Earth-like“, meaning that they are terrestrial (aka rocky) and comparable in size to Earth. These finds have been especially exciting since red dwarf stars are the most common
The peculiar movement of gas at the galactic centre could be the smoking gun that finally leads astronomers to the most elusive type of black hole – the middleweight. Black holes are pretty hard to find unless they’re actively feeding (or colliding), since they don’t emit any electromagnetic radiation (except perhaps for Hawking radiation, which,
Some of the Universe’s deepest secrets are locked up so tight, a whole new kind of subatomic cataclysm is needed to tear them free. To unleash those kinds of forces, European physicists want to build a particle accelerator to rival anything we’ve seen, one that will make the famous 27 kilometre (16.7 mile) Large Hadron
In 2009, supermodel Kate Moss caused a stir when she categorically stated that “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”. As jaw-dropping as the sentiment might have seemed to many, Moss’ pithy comment encapsulates a modern Western zeitgeist. From an evolutionary perspective, however, Moss’ statement is ludicrous, if not preposterous. Such a statement could

In space, it has been said, no one can hear you scream – space’s atmosphere lacks the material that make sound waves possible.

A dire warning has been sent out as an earthquake researchers believe the planet could experience “large” seismic activity starting from tomorrow. This is because Earth, Mercury, Venus and the sun have all aligned, causing a gravitational tug-of-war in our galactic neighbourhood. As a result, a tremor which will exceed magnitude six could hit anywhere
Authorities have extended the no-access zone around the main Soufriere Guadeloupe gas emission centers on January 15, 2019. The alert level remains at Yellow (Watch). The decision was made due to an increase in seismic and fumarolic activity detected since January 8, 2019. Although earthquakes are of very small magnitude, there have been some 600 events
