Recordings on Predicting the Existence of Parallel Worlds Found |
 ...oting for several universes were all the possibilities of life play out.
Presumably the tapes were recorded in 1977. This was the year when the physicist presented his idea on parallel worlds at a physics conference. His theory was lying rejected for 2 decades after finally coming to life in 1977. The tapes disappeared after the scientist's death in 1982.
Tapes were discovered during a TV documentary filming. The do... |

The Evolution of the First Stars that Lighted Up the Universe Revealed |
 ...cientists, the information collected by the WMAP proves the theories linked with the level of helium observed today. The early Universe resembled a hot, nuclear reactor that produced helium. Particle physics state that because of such resemblance, there must have been a sea of neutrinos.
The data from Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy probe also gives evidence that it took a very long period of time for the stars to start... |

Terawatt Laser Beam Shot in the Clouds Provokes Lightning Strike |
 ...nd.
It is worth mentioning that for the first time the proposal of using laser to provoke thunderbolts was made in 1970s, but back then there was no laser powerful enough to achieve the goal.
In physics laboratories scientists widely use the powerful lasers that can create terawatts of energy. But to make an experiment outdoors, researchers applied a new type of laser, named Teramobile, the creation of which was the ... |
