Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered two new exoplanets around a young sun-like star known as TOI-6109. The newfound alien worlds are slightly larger than Neptune and orbit their host in less than 10 days. The finding was presented in a paper published September 18 on the arXiv pre-print server.
The Sibiu manuscript discovered in 1961, is a collection of around 450 pages that include among many other things, details of three-stage rockets and manned rocket flight. Most of us are unaware of the fact that there are countless ancient manuscripts scattered across the globe, describing what many consider as improbable achievements of the past. What would you say If I told you that there is an ancient manuscript that dates back nearly 500 years, and describes liquid fuel, multi-stage rockets, and even manned rockets?
You’d either say I’m crazy, or it’s just fake news. *Have you noticed how people these days call out as fake news anything that they find hard to believe or goes against their belief system? Anyway, the Sibiu manuscript is real, it’s not fake news, and it does, in fact, describe—among other things— liquid fuel and multi-stage rockets, and it was officially published in the 16th century, although many believe it was written using texts that go back further in time.
The Sibiu Manuscript was found in 1961 by Doru Todericiu, a professor of Science and Technology at the University of Bucharest. The manuscript contained around 450 pages which were recovered from the archives of the city of Sibiu, in Romania. To the surprise of Todericiu, the ancient text was flooded with drawings and technical data on artillery, ballistics and detailed descriptions of multistage rockets. Referred to as the Sibiu manuscript ever since, the ancient text is believed to have been written by a man called Conrad Haas, between 1550 and 1570. Conrad Haas is believed to have been a military engineer who worked for the Kingdom of Hungary and the Principality of Transylvania. The ancient manuscript origins aren’t very clear, nor are the origins of its author who according to historians is believed to have been born in either Austrian or Transylvania and became the head of the arsenal of the Austrian Empire under King Ferdinand I.  The Sibiu manuscript, written entirely in German, was found to be a theoretical treatise on the construction of different types of weapons, including—for the first time in history—multistage rocket technology. It also includes details on the combination of fireworks with weapons, the design of fins in the shape of a hang glider as well as the creation of fuel mixtures with the use of liquid fuel. It remains a mystery whether or not Haas managed to use his designs and put into practice, but there are some who claim that a rocket launch was carried out in Sibiu in 1550, but there is no documentary evidence to support these claims. We do know from history that Johann Schmidlap, a 16th-century Bavarian fireworks maker, and rocket pioneer, was the first to experiment with two-stage and three-stage rockets around 1590. Before the discovery of the Sibiu manuscript, the earliest details of a three-stage rocket was attributed to Kazimierz Siemienowicz, a Polish specialist in artillery, who published details about rocketry in his 1650 treatise Artis Magnae Artilleriae Pars Prima. Conrad Haas wrote down a few interesting sentences in his manuscript in which he talks about the military use of rockets (translated): “But my advice is for more peace and no war, leaving the rifles calmly in storage, so the bullet is not fired, the gunpowder is not burned or wet, so the prince keeps his money, the arsenal master his life; that is the advice Conrad Haas gives.” At least four people have died and eight have been injured in the attack on a Grand Blanc Township Church of the Latter-day Saints congregation; the shooter was shot and killed by officers
Time-varying systems, materials with properties that change over time, have opened new possibilities for the experimental manipulation of waves. Contrarily to static systems, which exhibit the same properties over time, these materials break so-called temporal translation symmetry. This in turn prompts the emergence of various fascinating phenomena, including time reflection, refraction and diffraction.
According to the man who predicted that Trump would become president and that the UK would leave the European Union, the year ‘2018 will be full of political turmoil and environmental crisis caused by dramatic and unprecedented weather.’ Craig Hamilton-Parker predicted several events that are difficult to foresee, such as the victory of the current US president, Donald Trump, or the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union. Now, he says a terrorist attack on a British motorway could soon occur, and that revolution in North Korea which overthrows Kim Jong-Un’s regime, while chemical weapons attack by drones will be used on a major European City. In a blog post, Mr. Hamilton-Parker wrote how “2018 will be a year of political turmoil and environmental disaster generated by dramatic and unprecedented weather.”  The man who has the uncanny capacity of foreseeing extremely unlikely world-wide events prophesized about a series of terrorist attacks, an international economic recession and how Theresa May would somehow manage to hold onto power. Hamilton-Parker predicted that cultural friction would get much worse in Germany and France and that we could expect intensifying racial troubles and riots throughout major European countries. Aside from politics, the man also predicted a series of environmental catastrophes and said the environment was his number one prophecy for 2018. “The Environment is top of my list because I feel 2018 will see unprecedented earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and ferocious weather,” he wrote on his blog. “I have been saying for some years that we can expect this – not just because of global warming but also because of increased activity of the Sun. We have seen terrible hurricanes but I feel there is worse to come.” Furthermore, the Southampton-born man also foresaw the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Italy, which would result in the evacuation of Naples. There would also be increased seismic activity even in regions that were known to be free of seismic activity for up to a thousand years. Her predicted a terrible earthquake would strike New Zealand. According to Hamilton-Parker, record level hurricanes will cause destruction in the Caribbean, while ravaging wildfires in California and Australia will be hard to contain. Furthermore, heavy flooding will occur in China and India, and it will become impossible to travel along certain parts of the southern seas due to a massive ice shelf breaking off of Antarctica. And despite the fact that many of his prophecies spell catastrophe, Mr. Hamilton wrote: “Many of the above predictions are pretty gloomy but I feel that there will be a simultaneous growth in spirituality for the people of the world that will now start to lead us into a Golden Age.” “Conflict and hardship plus growing environmental problems will bring good people together and ignite a desire to seek the true purpose of human life.” Here are his eight predictions resumed into a list: Drones will be used in a terrorist attack with chemical weapons in a capital city of Europe, possibly London or Berlin. An American warship will sink. Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, will be overthrown by the people and his body will never be found, which will lead to the legend that its hidden in China. After emerging victorious from a political trial, Donald Trump will gain even more popularity. Towards the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, the fall of the euro will generate great unrest. The A bitcoin fraud will be discovered, which allowed the finance of terrorism and war. Antarctica will suffer a massive rupture of its ice sheet. Hurricanes of unprecedented magnitude will be recorded in the Caribbean, gigantic fires in California and Australia, and floods in India and China.

In a recent Nature study, scientists have demonstrated an electrically driven perovskite laser using a dual-cavity design, addressing a challenge that has persisted in the field for over a decade.
Antarctica—the ‘inhospitable’ white Continent that we know today, was once a surface covered with leafy subtropical forests full of palm trees, ferns, and conifers. Just over 50 million years ago, the frozen continent looked very different from what we see today. If mankind could travel to the past and visit Antarctica, we wouldn’t need to wear thermal and waterproof clothing as current expeditions do since the temperatures would be warm and pleasant. Now, a group of researchers has discovered more evidence of what Antarctica looked like in the distant past as they have found fossil fragments from 13 trees that grew at the end of the Permian Period, before Dinosaurs. The discovery was made by Erik Gulbranson and John Isbell from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) who were exploring the continents’ Transantarctic Mountains. By the end of their journey, the scientists discovered fossilized parts of 13 trees. The discovery confirms one more time that the now-frozen continent was once covered in lush forests and teeming with life, most likely when it was still part of the supercontinent Gondwana that spanned the whole of the Southern Hemisphere.  Scientists are convinced that massive forests covered the entire continents at the end of the Permian Period, the geological era before first dinosaurs. “People have known about the fossils in Antarctica since the 1910-12 Robert Falcon Scott expedition. Nevertheless, most of Antarctica is still unexplored today. Sometimes, you might be the first person to ever climb a certain mountain,” Gulbranson said. The so-called Permian Period came to an end some 251 million years ago in what is considered history’s greatest mass extinction, as our planet rapidly shifted from icehouse to greenhouse conditions. It is believed that than 90 percent of species on Earth disappeared, including the polar forests scientists found evidence of.  Since the lush Antarctic tree grew at polar latitudes were plants cannot grow today, researchers believe the trees that once grew there were an extremely species. Experts are now trying to understand why the forests went extinct. “This ancient forest is a glimpse of life before the extinction, and this can help us understand what caused the event,” explained Gulbranson. Scientists explain that the frosts that once grew on the Antarctic continent were used to conditions unlike anywhere else on the planet, having to survive through polar extremes of endless light, and total darkness, which, according to experts, is another reason why its worth studying why they went extinct. “There isn’t anything like that today. These trees could turn their growing cycles on and off like a light switch. We know the winter shutoff happened right away, but we don’t know how active they were during the summertime and whether they could force themselves into dormancy while it was still light out,” Gulbranson said.
