Turning Smartphones Into Star Trek-Like Tricorders 

For the crew of the Starship Enterprise, Star Trek’s “Tricorder” was an essential tool, a multifunctional hand-held device used to sense, compute, and record data in a threatening and unpredictable universe. It simplified a number of Starfleet tasks, scientific or combat-related, by beaming sensors at objects to obtain instant results.

Fish Mimics The Parents Of Its Prey 

The dusky dottyback is not just a fish; it’s also a “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” changing color to blend in with its prey so that it can pick off the unsuspecting offspring, according to a new study published online last Monday in the journal Current Biology.

Fabio Cortesi, a visiting scholar at the University of Queensland, and his colleagues tested their theory by embedding dottybacks in with their regular prey, the juvenile damselfish. They found that the dottybacks, which are native to the Great Barrier Reef, are up to three times more likely to have success feeding on young prey if they alter their colors to resemble the damselfish.

Did Dogon Tribe Get Their Detailed Knowledge of The Sirius From Ancient Aliens?

The vast universe continuous to amaze our current knowledge. Skeptics and proponents of the ancient alien theories have been facing the challenges for decades regarding the alleged detailed astronomical knowledge of the Dogon tribe.

There are a number of arguments concerning the tribe from Mali, Africa and its reported knowledge of the motions of the star even without the use of modern telescopes.

Sirius, being the brightest star in the sky, had been part of many ancient cultures. Located approximately 8.7 light years from Earth, Sirius has white dwarf star companion called Sirius B, which is invisible to the naked eye. Astronomers first thought of its existence in the 1830s. These scientists developed a mathematical theoretical model of its orbit around Sirius, now known as Sirius A, later in the 19th century.

“Fukushima: The Extinction-Level Event That No One Is Talking About” 

In March of 2015, it was reported in the Times of London, that Akira Ono, the chief of the Fukushima power station admitted that the technology needed to decommission the three melted-down reactors does not exist, and he has no idea how it will be developed. More recently, Naohiro Masuda, the decommissioning chief of the Fukushima Daiichi Decommissioning Company, also stated that the technology does not exist to remove the highly radioactive debris from the damaged reactors: “Ono also claimed that decommissioning the plant by 2051 may be impossible without huge leaps in technological advancement.” It’s also been estimated that plutonium fallout has been 70,000 times greater than atomic bomb fallout in Japan!

Japan has also seen a skyrocketing of childhood cancer rates, particularly, thyroid Cancer. As of August, 2013, TEPCO admitted that between “20 trillion to 40 trillion becquerels of radioactive tritium may have leaked into the sea since the disaster.” Since it’s been shown over and again, that TEPCO repeatedly lied and covered up the true extent of the disaster, that number is most likely far greater.

The Next-Generation Weapons That Russia Will Use Against The United States In World War III 

The Russian military is in the midst of a sweeping modernization program, and it is currently developing some incredibly impressive offensive and defensive next-generation weapons that are designed to be used in a future war with the United States.  The key to winning World War III will be to strike hard and to strike fast, and the Russians understand this.  

Meanwhile, the U.S. military has totally shifted gears from a “Cold War mindset” and is now completely focused on fighting smaller regional wars in the Middle East and elsewhere.  As a result, U.S. strategic forces have suffered.  There has been very little effort to modernize, and many of our nuclear missile silos are using technology that is ridiculously outdated. 

Russian Analyst Calls For Nuclear Attack On Yellowstone National Park 

“The consequences will be catastrophic for the United States”.

Russian geopolitical analyst Konstantin Sivkov has called for Moscow to launch a nuclear attack on Yellowstone National Park and the San Andreas fault line, noting that the devastating consequences would ‘disappear’ the United States as a country.

Carolina Butcher: 9 Foot Long Crocodilian Ancestor Walked on Hind Legs

A newly discovered crocodilian ancestor may have filled one of North America’s top predator roles before dinosaurs arrived on the continent. Carnufex carolinensis, or the “Carolina Butcher,” was a 9-foot long, land-dwelling crocodylomorph that walked on its hind legs and likely preyed upon smaller inhabitants of North Carolina ecosystems such as armored reptiles and early mammal relatives.

This is a life reconstruction of Carnufex carolinensis.
