Researchers at Kumamoto University, in collaboration with colleagues in South Korea and Taiwan, have discovered that a unique cobalt-based molecule with metal–metal bonds can function as a spin quantum bit (spin qubit)—a fundamental unit for future quantum computers. The findings provide a new design strategy for molecular materials used in quantum information technologies.

Nearly every galaxy has a supermassive black hole in its core. Whether the black hole forms first and then the galaxy around it—or the other way around—is still a matter of some debate, but we know the evolution of both are deeply connected. We can use that relationship to study the black holes.
Astronomers have obtained the sharpest-ever X-ray spectrum of an iconic active galaxy, providing the most accurate, precise view ever obtained of the extreme relativistic effects imprinted onto the spacetime around a supermassive black hole.
So far, humanity has yet to find its first “exomoon”—a moon orbiting a planet outside of the solar system. But that hasn’t been for lack of trying. According to a new paper by Thomas Winterhalder of the European Southern Observatory and his co-authors, which is available on the arXiv preprint server, the reason isn’t because those moons don’t exist, but simply because we lack the technology to detect them. They propose a new “kilometric baseline interferometer” that can detect moons as small as Earth up to 200 parsecs (652 light years) away.
This ESA/Hubble picture highlights another view of a distant stellar birthplace. Captured in a parallel field to a recently released image, this scene reveals a neighboring region of the N159 star-forming complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud, approximately 160,000 light-years away.

An international team of astronomers led by Canadian researchers has found something the universe wasn’t supposed to have: a galaxy cluster blazing with hot gas just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang, far earlier and hotter than theory predicts.
Size matters when it comes to telescopes. The bigger they are, the farther they can see. Prioritizing constructing large ones is therefore high on the priority list for many observational organizations. But doing so comes at a cost, and not just in terms of money. Finding a suitable site can be a challenge, and that has been particularly true for the effort to build a 30-meter telescope in the Northern Hemisphere.
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on qubits, units of quantum information that share states with each other via a quantum mechanical effect known as entanglement.

The sun is not only our closest stellar neighbor, it’s also the star we understand the most. As we’ve observed it over the centuries, we’ve learned that the sun is not an immortal constant. It goes through active and quiet cycles, it has become warmer over geologic time scales, and it occasionally batters Earth with solar flares. We’ve generally thought that other main sequence stars behave in much the same way, but when it comes to solar flares, that isn’t always true.
Quantum theory and Einstein’s theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and particles behave, while general relativity describes gravity and the structure of spacetime. However, despite many decades of effort, scientists still do not have a satisfying theory that combines both into one clear picture of reality.

The Anunnaki, extraterrestrials from another planet, mined for precious gold in southern Africa when they arrived on Earth. The element has unique qualities that make it invaluable for many reasons; from jewelry to electrical components, to insulation used in space travel. Today, scientists have made a big leap in unlocking the potential of 2D gold, thousands of years later. Now, researchers from the University of Leeds in the U.K. have created the world’s “thinnest gold” only two atoms in thickness. It’s so thin; they consider it 2-dimensional. They say it’s a “landmark achievement” in nanomaterials with potential in the medical and electronics industries.
Newsweek noted that researcher Stephen Evan from Leeds supervised the study. Leeds remarked that the gold sheets are a vast improvement over even gold nanoparticles.
According to the article, the flexible 2D gold might be used to “develop artificial enzymes” for such technologies as water filtration and improved medical diagnostic tests. The advanced use of gold in this manner is new to science in 2019. On the other hand, if you subscribe to the story of the Anunnaki from the cuneiform tablets of Mesopotamia, it could be a throwback to technology thousands of years old. According to Ancient Astronaut theory, the Anunnaki genetically engineered the first man, or “Adamu” as slaves for their gold-mining operations some 450,000 years ago. The gold was needed for the technology to save the home planet, which was falling into environmental ruin. If we put aside skepticism for a moment and consider this to be true, could humans learn how to use gold for advanced technology to save our own environment in the future? Related: Why Was Gold So Important To The Ancient Anunnaki? Much of the wisdom of these ancient beings was passed along to modern humans, but why not the technology associated with gold? For example, some of the system of mathematics and measurements we still use originated in ancient Mesopotamia. Consider that the hours and minutes that define our daily lives, based on the number 60, came from the ancients. Related: Did the Anunnaki reveal keys to the universe in the first system of mathematics? Zecharia Sitchin (1920 – 2010), the famous (or infamous, depending on your view?) author who expounded on the story of Anunnaki for years, was quoted in the New York Times in 2010 as the paper explored his ideas. Many people consider it bunk, but to Sitchin and a growing audience, the tablets aren’t just myth but record actual events. 
Today, humans are indeed thinking and using tools, but we still clearly have far to go before we could really be considered an advanced civilization. At least the use of 2D gold seems to be another small step in the right direction. For a discussion of the Anunnaki and their quest for gold on Earth, as told in the Sumerian tablets, watch this video from Universe Inside You below Featured image: Screenshot via YouTube YouTube Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/6PZOCKAJs1M?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1 Thousands of years ago, ancient people around the globe created a number of petroglyphs and cave paintings. Why ancient man depicted strange beings with 5 or 6 fingers, helmets, sandals, and what appear to be space suits is a mystery no one has been able to answer. Millions of people around the world firmly believe we have been visited by extraterrestrial beings for millennia. But if such highly advanced beings visited us in the distant past… how did ancient cultures react 2000-3000 years ago? Did ancient man freak out when ‘highly advanced’ spaceships landed on our planet? Or did ancient cultures glorify the visitors, referring to them as gods? Strangely, many ancient civilizations like the Ancient Chinese, Maya, Aztec and Inca, speak of visitors that came from the heavens bringing great knowledge to mankind. But even before ancient civilizations recorded their legends and spoke of gods that came down to Earth, people were recording what today is interpreted as ‘alien visitations’. If we take a look at cave art and petroglyphs around the globe, we will notice that in all corners of the planet, ancient man drew on rock all sorts of important events, and in nearly all petroglyphs found to date, there are representations of mysterious and strange beings that do not resemble human beings. However, what is even more fascinating is that even though these petroglyphs are found scattered across the entire planet, the depictions of the mysterious creatures are eerily similar. This has lead many to believe that ancient mankind that carved and painted the mystery beings must have seen them at one point in history. Let us go ahead and take a look at some of the most amazing depictions of ancient aliens discovered to date! The Wandjina cave paintings
The Wandjina cave paintings are one of our favorite cave paintings discovered to date. There are a number of interesting details about the cave art found in Kimberley, Australia, in 1838. First of all the age of the cave paintings has become a subject of debate among numerous researchers. Some even suggest that the mystery art called the Wandjina could be well over 100,000 years old (yes you read right). Among the numerous pieces of ‘ancient Picasso art’ ancient people depicted beings that measure up to six meters in height. Locals refer to the mystery beings as the “wandjinas”. These mysterious beings are said to have brought civilization and prosperity to the people, and like many other ancient cultures around the globe indicate, the enigmatic “wandjinas” also came from the sky. Even more impressive is the fact that numerous ancient cultures around the globe have in their destroy a serpent or dragon. Strangely, the “wandjina’s” symbol was a feathered serpent. Quetzalcoatl anyone? But even more fascinating are other depiction of the Wandjina, who are depicted as strange humanoid figures without mouths, with huge black eyes and pale white faces that are surrounded by strange halos. These mysterious paintings have received all kinds of interpretation: strange representation of human beings, gigantic owls, down to the theory of Ancient Astronauts, as beings who visited Earth in the distant past. 10,000-year-old cave paintings in India depict ancient aliensAnother fascinating discovery of what could be interpreted as ancient aliens can be found in India where researchers discovered a number of strange pieces of ancient art resembling what many have interpreted as otherworldly beings and disc-shaped objects. According to Indian experts, it’s as if people, 10.000 years ago made these paintings while looking at science fiction movies. The set of curious ancient art is located inside caves located near the town of Charama in the Kanker district. One archaeologist from India firmly believes that this art clearly reflects that 10,000 years ago, people knew we were not alone in the universe. Archaeologist JR Bhagat made some very interesting comments while speaking about the enigmatic cave art: „The paintings are done in natural colors that have hardly faded despite the years. The strangely carved figures are seen holding weapon-like objects and do not have clear features. Especially, the nose and mouth are missing. In few pictures, they are even shown wearing space suits.“ Tassili n’Ajjer: Proof of Ancient Astronauts?
It seems that there is plenty of evidence of ancient alien visitations. In addition to the above-mentioned cave paintings, ancient art found in Tassili n’Ajjer seems to illustrate mysterious creatures with helmets gloves and strange suits. Today, experts have managed to catalogue around 5,000 cave paintings in the region. Regrettably, around 20% of them remain visible today, since most of them were destroyed by erosion. The age of the cave art is believed to be around 10,000 to 15,000 years old. Among the sheer number of rock art found, ancient man drew giraffes, ostriches, elephants, oxen, alligators and even hippos; demonstrating that the Sahara region was full of life in the distant past. However, the most incredible feature are the mysterious depictions of strange beings with helmets and suits, which according to a number of researchers resemble modern-day astronauts. Why would the ancient inhabitants of Tassili n’Ajjer depict the humanoid figures with helmet-like objects and spacesuits unless they did not seem them? Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that the natives of the Tassili Caves depicted the ancient astronaut that visited them in the past 10,000 years ago? According to many researchers, it is a possibility. The Toro Muerto Petroglyphs
Another set of intriguing pieces of ancient art depicting strange beings can be found in Peru at the mysterious Petroglyphs of Toro Muerto, which according to many depict strange humanoid figures that do not resemble human beings. The petroglyphs cover an area of several kilometers in length. Toro Muerto, which translated, means Dead Bull was named because of the herds of livestock that commonly died because of dehydration in the area. Among the countless carvings at Toro Muerto, there are interesting depictions of what appear to be, shepherds, hunters, and semi-realistic figures, zoomorphic figures like jaguars, condors, camels, and fish. The ancients also depicted sunflowers and trees without branches, geometric symbols, zig-zags, square, diamond shapes and some inscriptions, intaglios, and bizarre writings all over an area of approximately four kilometers. The most intriguing depictions at Toro Muerto are those of beings that do not share much resemblance to normal human beings. Even more fascinating is the fact that some of the petroglyphs of Toro Muerto bear a freakish resemblance to petroglyphs found in Australia where ancient man also depicted mysterious beings with ‘halos’ around their heads. The beings depicted at Toro Muerto were carved with a number of strange characteristics, like antennas on top of their heads. The Petroglyphs at Karahunj, Armenia’s Stonehenge
This ancient site located in modern-day Armenia is fascinating for a number of reasons. First of all, many researchers claim that the site itself predates both Stonehenge in England and the Pyramids of Giza. This ancient complex occupies over 7 hectares and offers its visitors a number of strange carvings created by early civilizations that inhabited the region thousands of years ago. Among the numerous carvings, ancient man depicted what appeared to be strange beings with elongated heads and almond-shaped eyes, eerily similar to ‘modern-day’ representations of Grey Aliens.

Today, ancient astronaut theorists are most interested in the monumental tombs and other sites that seem to indicate a race of giants who used advanced technology. If not giants, it’s still unexplainable using conventional historical timelines and conventional thinking. Evidence of giants includes the so-called “Giants of Mont’e Prama,” 40-50 ancient stone sculptures created by the Nuragic civilization of Sardinia. Some of the ‘giants’ stood over nine feet tall and weighed over 800 pounds, carrying shields and masks. They are said to date before the 8th century BC, which if accurate, means they predate Greek sculptures as the oldest examples of Colossi (giant sculptures) ever found in the Mediterranean.  Megalithic researcher, and explorer, Hugh Newman, shared his video (see below) of these strange oversized sculptures found in Sardinian farmland in March 1974. A farmer made the find while plowing a field when he struck on the stones. Hundreds of thousands of fragments were carefully reassembled to reveal giants and small versions of megalithic towers called nuraghe. These towers gave the Nuragic civilization its name. Newman also discusses the newspaper account of an eight-foot skeleton unearthed on the island at Porto Torres, supposedly dating to 4,000 years ago. In the next video, he discusses giant-sized bones found by another farmer plowing a field.  Take a look at these bizarre robot-like sculptures from MegalithomaniaUK below. See the video from MegalithomaniaUK below: Next, Newman travels to the Giant Tombs, hundreds of collective tombs built by the Nuragic civilization all over the island during the Bronze Age. The largest tomb is called the Coddu Vecchiu and dates back to 2000 BC. A 100-foot tall carved ‘entrance’ rock that marks the trapezoidal burial chamber behind it. The entrance rock has a smaller semicircular doorway carved out at the base considered “a symbolic passageway for the spirits of the dead.” The limestone and granite megalithic blocks are enormous, weighing tons and carefully assembled with some stones individually carved into curving shapes. Take a tour of the Giants’ Tombs from MegalithomaniaUK below: YouTube Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ypi4_7bpy0 In the third video, we take a look at the most impressive site of all, the sacred Well of Santa Cristina. The name is misleading, coming from the well’s proximity to a country church dedicated to her in the 1200s. According to Atlas Obscura:
  A round opening in the ceiling allows sun and moonlight to shine down upon the spring, particularly at the equinoxes. Like stone monuments across the globe in Peru and Egypt, the stonework used here is precision-cut and has to be seen to be believed. Inside the shrine, the walls are perfectly smooth, curving, and in some cases use interlocking shapes. What technology was used? We currently have no idea.What happened at the shrine? There is no recorded history.The opening to the shrine forms a perfect trapezium shape while aerial shots of the well show a curving formation, that brings to mind the Hindu Shiva-linga. While we still have no concrete proof that giants roamed Sardinia, these ancient monuments give us a sense of wonder. How did ancient people create these shrines using enormous boulders cut with near laser perfection? Why do similar finds appear all over Earth when global travel was supposedly impossible at that time? What technology was used? It all remains a mystery that defies traditional ways of thinking.
