An international team of researchers suggests that low solar activity and the reversal of the magnetic field together may have cataclysmic effects that can spell the end of life. In a study recently published in the journal Science, the researchers detailed how the decline of the archaic Neanderthals and extinction of megafauna may be linked to the solar minimum a long time ago and the Laschamp … Continue reading Magnetic field reversal and the solar minimum may lead to extinction-level event, study suggests
Paper arguing for intelligent design passes peer review
A new paper that has argued for the concept of intelligent design (ID) has just passed peer review. Published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the paper argues that living beings are too exquisitely complex to have arisen by mindless, purposeless forces of nature, expressing this argument in mathematical terms. In the paper, researchers Steinar Thorvaldsen of The Arctic University of … Continue reading Paper arguing for intelligent design passes peer review
Meteorite in Michigan may hold clues to origin of life on Earth
According to a new study a meteorite that fell in Michigan in 2018 may contain clues to the origin of life on Earth. Published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, the study said that the meteorite contained a good amount of organic matter. Researchers from the U.S., Canada, Germany and China were able to pick up and examine the rock … Continue reading Meteorite in Michigan may hold clues to origin of life on Earth
Organic matter found in ancient meteorites may hold clues to understanding the birth of life on Earth
Chondritic meteorites that date back to the formation of the Solar System offer a window through which we can view the distant past. Researchers believe that organic matter trapped in these antediluvian space rocks can show us how life began on our planet, an article in Alpha Galileo reported. Furthermore, the University of Manchester (UoM) research team suggests that such … Continue reading Organic matter found in ancient meteorites may hold clues to understanding the birth of life on Earth
