A team of physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has measured a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. In their paper published in Science Advances, the group explains that their experiment was meant to demonstrate that quantum mechanics is more nonclassical than thought.
A collaboration between Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, hosted by Stockholm University, KTH and Google Quantum AI explores how gravitational fields influence quantum computing hardware, laying the foundation for advances in quantum sensing.
China is land that hides many secrets, researchers would love to be able to reach the Xiaan province and study the gigantic pyramid of the region, one that is believed to hold the secrets of the universe. But there is a lot more to the Xia’an region then you would think, there we can also find the Terracotta Warriors of Xi’an. These mysterious statues were found in 1974 near the tomb of Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang (210-209 BC), by peasants of the region who began digging a well in order to draw water for their crops and orchards.
To date, over 6000 terra-cotta warriors have been discovered, but many of them have not been unearthed for mysterious reason. The statues are painted in bright colors, but if they were to get in touch with oxygen they would gradually lose their pigmentation. This is why, Chinese researchers are trying to dig a way around this phenomenon in order to preserve the original pigmentation of the terra-cotta warriors.
The statues measure from 1.80 to 2.00 in height, a striking trait since at the time these figurines were made, the average height of the Chinese was around 1.60 meters. But what is undoubtedly the most striking features of these warriors are their traits and how they were constructed since each of them has a different feature, mustache, hair, ethical features etc… but their armor and clothing are also unique to each warrior. Furthermore, the features of their faces do not inspire fear or dread, but rather the opposite, since all of them are quiet and full of serenity, a very unique feature for a warrior.
According to the chronicles of the time of Sima Qian, in the year 246. C., the Emperor began work for his tomb. He wanted his tomb to look like the exact copy of the known universe and confine all the wonders of the world. He recruited over 700,000 soldiers from all over the country for the construction of, what was to be, the most splendid eternal abode of all time: The mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi. The ceiling of the burial chamber was made out of bronze and was dotted with gems like a starry sky; on the floor there were rivers of mercury, which were made to flow mechanically, representing the Yellow and Blue River.
It is said that the Emperor built the Xi’an warriors because he believed that his troops would still protect him in the afterlife. But if the Emperor wanted to surround himself with guards, why did he order such relatively friendly features on the faces of his best and most trusted warriors?
Today, many have tried replicating the terra-cotta warriors, but all of the projects ended up in failure since it is impossible, for us today, to match the perfection in which these statues were made in the distant past. What technique were used for the construction of this incredible and unique army? Did they leave behind texts speaking of the methods used to come up with the terracotta warriors? But most importantly, how is it possible that ancient people managed, thousands of years ago, what we today cannot achieve? Archaeologists and researchers have been left perplexed by such magnificent work, one that we cannot replicate today!
And if you ask yourself how much time it would take to make a unique model of 6,000 sculptures, the answer is… a lot!

The Mystery of the Vinca figurinesAccording to numerous researchers, the ancient Vinca (Vinča) culture depicted extraterrestrial visitors, gods that came from the sky and provided the necessary push for the advancement of civilization and technology among humans. ![]() There has been a lot of speculation about the existence of extraterrestrial beings and the possibility of them interacting in the distant past, with ancient civilizations on Earth. Evidence of such encounters can be found across the world. In every single continent there appears to be evidence recorded in texts, monuments, and artifacts pointing toward the existence and interaction of extraterrestrial beings. In many ancient depictions we see beings with oval-shaped heads, giant almond-shaped eyes that have specific dark pupils, narrow noses with slightly marked small mouths that most of the mites have no lips. The head is composed out of the specific shape that is in most cases, larger than the rest of the bodies. The color of the creatures ranges from blueish gray colors to light brown. The depictions of these creatures has been attributed, from the standpoint of rationalistic and materialistic science, to hallucinations due to the ingestion of drugs or alcohol, fantastic projections of the collective unconscious, and hallucinations that are a result of certain brain injuries or diseases. Strangely, these depictions have existed in the distant past, about 7000 years BC in some European countries including the Balkans, former Yugoslavia and Northern Greece.
Putting the puzzle together, this has allowed archaeologists to verify that several centuries ago, human groups that inhabited the region received almost spontaneously a significative impulse that helped them become a civilized society, enabling them to develop a syllabic-alphabetic language and or linear writing system judging by the amount of phonetic signs used in it. All of this occurred several thousand years before the rise of the great ancient civilizations of the Euphrates and the Nile. This according to most researchers is considered as an archaeological anomaly. Numerous archaeologists who have studied this enigmatic civilization do not have a convincing explanation for this anachronistic culture that was obviously too evolved for a time when most of the cultures of the Old World were still in the Neolithic stage, a time when not a single megalithic monument was erected. What is perhaps most disconcerting is the fact that along with numerous samples of ceramic-naturalistic paintings and objects, engraved with amazing inscriptions, there are over three thousand ceramic and stone figurines where besides human and animal representations, are mainstream representations of strange humanoid beings whose characteristics fit perfectly into modern-day descriptions of otherworldly beings such as the grey aliens, believed to have visited Earth in the distant past, and even today. The Vinca (Vinča) culture figurines are original and unique items yet resemble art of other cultures in Mesopotamia and the Americas. The question many have asked is, why? Even though the Vinca culture has had contact with other neighboring cultures, the sculptural art of the Vinca (Vinča) remained markedly different from that of other cultures in the region. The most distinctive feature of these mysterious figurines are triangular shaped faces, large almond shaped eyes, mouths and noses that are nonexistent in most cases, which strangely seem to resemble animals such as grasshoppers. Some of these figurines mysteriously depict a combination of hybrid beings, half-human half reptile. Most of these strange humanoid figures are depicted as guardian deities, some of them are believed to have been good while some of them evil. The zoomorphic-anthropomorphic depictions are a mystery that many researchers have not found an answer to. ![]() According to researchers, the most striking sculptures representing the latest development of Vinca art are the monumental heads with a relatively normal size, that have some sort of helmet or mask. The widening of the mask follows the oblique line of the eyes, and its projection goes all the way to the height of what appear to be ears. What was the artists goal upon creating these masks and figurines? Did the artist intend to depict the Gods and deities which brought numerous advancements to their society and other human beings? The objective here is to go beyond mere classification or identification of objects according to the criteria and principles of methodology of mainstream archaeological research. What caused the ancient Vinca do depict such mysterious creatures? What inspired them to create such sticking figurines, clearly not of human nature? Everything man does is, in one way or another, an imitation of the real world and nature around him. This points to the fact that the depictions of the ancient Vinča culture, are actually what they had seen thousands of years ago. Is the Vinca culture evidence of prehistorical contact with extraterrestrial beings, around 9000 years ago? Researchers believe that the origin of the strange iconography is not only based on the physical appearance but also on other aspects such as the appearance of advanced linear syllabic-alphabetic writing and language, a form that would reappear several thousands of years later in other advanced civilizations of the mediterranean. Interestingly, in civilizations of Southeast Europe there are no previous phases in the evolution of the writing system. Writing came to be “suddenly” in a relatively evolved form. It is a destabilizing fact breaking all previously established patterns, breaking the foundations of structures established by scholars of one of the most important marks of ancient civilizations, the writing system. It may not be coincidental that this cultural and so to speak technological leap appears associated with the first depiction of otherworldly creatures that could have been considered as gods thousands of years ago. Researchers believe we are facing one of the oldest proofs of human contact with extraterrestrial beings that came from other planets or other dimensions. Ancient oriental texts and doctrines speak of highly advanced beings which participated in the formation of civilization as we know it today. Depictions and texts about these beings are found in cultures across the globe, in every single corner of the world, yet for some reason, we seem to look past these depictions.
We live in a golden age for space exploration. Scientists are gathering massive amounts of new information and scientific evidence at a record pace. Yet the age-old question remains unanswered: Are we alone?
A research team led by Dr. Sofia Sheikh of the SETI Institute, in collaboration with the Characterizing Atmospheric Technosignatures project and the Penn State Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center, set out to answer a simple question: If an extraterrestrial civilization existed with technology similar to ours, would they be able to detect Earth and evidence of humanity? If so, what signals would they detect, and from how far away?
Private citizens and companies may one day begin to permanently settle outer space and celestial bodies. But if we don’t enact governing laws in the meantime, space settlers may face legal chaos.

Mining ocean resources needed for electric cars and other devices is currently a hot issue of dispute. Final resolution of how or whether the seabed should be exploited is pending. Outcomes in this contentious area could create precedents that could impact decisions about mining the moon.
In order to find rare processes from collider data, scientists use computer algorithms to determine the type and properties of particles based on the faint signals that they leave in the detector. One such particle is the tau lepton, which is produced, for example, in the decay of the Higgs boson.
Superconductors can carry electricity without losing energy, a superpower that makes them invaluable for a range of sought-after applications, from maglev trains to quantum computers. Generally, this comes at the price of having to keep them extremely cold, an opportunity cost that has frequently hindered widespread use.
Most metals expand when their temperature rises. The Eiffel Tower, for example, is about 10 to 15 centimeters taller in summer than in winter due to its thermal expansion. However, this effect is extremely undesirable for many technical applications.
