For most of us laypeople, it an accepted truth the din stanley cup osaurs were wiped out by a big ol ; asteroid that smashed into the Earth, easy as that. For scientists, however, there always been some question as to whether or not that was actually the case. But some new revelations have proven that we dummies were right in our gross over-s stanley cup implification all along. It been known for a while that there was a catastrophic asteroid collision millions of years ago while dinosaurs roamed the Earth. It was definitely about 9-miles wide, and definitely hurtled into Chicxulub, Mexico, leaving a 110-mile crater. Likewise, it definitely caused an explosion two million times bigger than the biggest thermonuclear device ever, launching an epic dust cloud that blocked out the sun. But鈥攂ut but but鈥攁ccording to previous evidence, stanley cup all that could have happened as early as 300,000 years before the actual extinction of dinosaurs, meaning there might have been different/additional cause. Turns out probably not. Go figure, but that catastrophic impact was enough to do the trick, according to a new paper published in Science. Scientists from Europe and the US have been able to look at the crater dust and narrow the impact down to a mere 11,000 year window, which is incredibly small in geological terms. As it happens, the impact was practically simultaneous with the mass extinction. Sure, Earth hadn ;t been at its strongest immediately before impact, but it was def Zdwx TV Show Opening Monologues That Are Worth Reciting in the Shower Each Morning

Mammals are unique in that they ;re the only animals whose brains feature a neocortex 鈥?a recently evolved structure that responsible for higher order functioning like conscious thought, sensory perception, spatial reasoning, and language. But now, scientists working at the University of Chicago have confirmed that birds have their own version of the neocortex 鈥?one that may actually give them certain cognitive advantages over mammals. The discovery will have profound implicat stanley website ions for our understanding of why birds appear to exhibit such high-levels of intelligence, reasoning, and self-awareness. Different structures Both mammals and birds have a brain structure called the dorsal ventricular ridge DVR that originates from an embryonic region called the telencephalon. But that where the similarity ends; th stanley us e two regions go on to develop into very different shapes, with the standard mammalian neocortex comprised of six cortical layers, while the bird DVR contains large clusters of neurons called nuclei. For the past 50 years, scientists have debated the purpose of this mysterious structure. Because the neocortex was only seen in mammals, it was thought that the DVR was a kind of amygdala, the brain organ responsible for learning and emotional r botella stanley eactions. Not satisfied with that explanation, neuroscientist Harvey Karten speculated back in the 1960s that it may in fact be a kind of neocortex 鈥?but he lacked proof. But this has changed.

Check out the gigantic volume of photos now stored in Facebook compared to Flickr, the Library of Congress and Instagram. I knew they were big, but I never imagined the difference could be so huge. 140 billion photos! It defies belief. It 10,000 times larger than the photo catalog in the Library of Congress! And Flickr, which I erroneously thought would be larger than anything else, is just a tiny fraction of Facebook. Digital cameras are now ubiquitous 鈥?it is estimated that 2.5 billion people in the world today have a digital camera. If the average person snaps 150 photos this year that would be a staggering 375 billion photos. That might sound implausible but this year people will upload over 70 billion photos to Facebook, suggesting around 20% of all photos this year will end up there. Already Facebook photo collectio stanley canada n has a staggering 140 billion photos, that over 10,000 times larger than the Library of Congress.

In 1990, an amateur inventor called Maurice Ward appeared on British TV demonstrating a super-material he ;d invented without any scientific training. Called Starlite, it could withstand temperatures of 1000 掳C, was hard enough to drill holes in walls, and could easily be painted on to surfaces. In 2011 Ward sadly passed away鈥攚ithout ever having explained to a single scientist how it worked. So starts an intriguing story, which is told wonderfully by Richard Fisher in this week New Scientist stanley polska . Unsurprisingly, since that first appearance in 1990 Starlite has been of interest to a small but select group of people around the world. In fact, it piqued enough interest stanley cups that Ward spent time talking with private companies, defense researchers and even NASA throughout the past twenty years. At first, many scientists were skeptical of his claims, but as time progressed and tests were conducted鈥攗nder close supervision from Ward, of course鈥攖hose same researchers softened.

But Ward was a tough stanley water bottle cookie, and he never found anybody he was happy to hand his secret over to鈥攅ither through a sense of power or desire for money. When he died, in May 2011, many thought he ;d taken his secret to the grave. But, as the New Scientists article explains, there may still be hope. Ward mentioned in one interview shortly before his death that his family knew about the Starlite recipe. They are, however, remaining tight-lipped鈥攕o the fu

With the help of the Internet, Kaspersky identified the code, not as a new computer language, but rather, an old one. https://gizmodo/whoever-wrote-the-duqu-t...an-5891789 The block of code in question allowed the Duqu Trojan to communicate with its home server and receive updated in stanley cup structions once it had infiltrated a system.

We know that there are small deposits of water on the Martian surface, and there evidence of plenty more water both below the surface and in the planet past. Now we ;ve gained a powerful tool for exploring Mars watery history. https://gizmodo/scientists-find-evidence-of-liquid-wa stanley thermosflasche ter-on-the-surface-5827462 That tool is the mineral jarosite, which was discovered on the Martian surface by the Opportunity rover back in 2004. Mainly composed of potassium and iron, jarosite has one very special property: it can only form in water on a planetary surface. This has been taken as some of the best indirect evidence that a substantial amount of water once existed on Mars. Researchers at Syracuse University hoped to put jarosite to further use beyond simply suggesting the existence of water. They ho stanley fr ped to develop a way to determine from these mineral samples precisely when the water existed, and in what surface conditions it existed. They have found that the noble gas argon accumulates in jarosite over time, and this fact can be used to reveal much about how the planet once looked. Team member Joseph Kul stanley mug a explains: Our experiments indicate that over billion-year timescales and at surface temperatures of 20 degrees Celsius 68 degrees Fahrenheit or colder, jarosite will preserve the amount of argon that has accumulated since the crystal formed, which simply means that jarosite is a good marker for measuring the amount of time that has passed since w
