As some of the long-time readers of this blog know, in this column I have occasionally discussed probability calculations in the context of gambling and betting. A long time ago I also famously won a $1000 bet on the LHC not discovering any new physics. Below I will mention a similar bet that ended up not being agreed>
Messier 83, the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, is one of the largest and closest barred spiral galaxies to us. At 15 million light-years away, it is one of the most conspicuous galaxies of its type in our skies. It's in the constellation of Hydra (The Sea Serpent) and is a prominent member of a group of galaxies>
A recent paper claims the common weedkiller known as glyphosate gives mice Alzheimer's and therefore is a risk to humans.Arizona State University researchers created an association between glyphosate exposure in mice and symptoms of neuroinflammation, as well as "accelerated Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology",>
A gravity model of the Earth constructed with data from GRACE. Credit: University of Texas Center for Space Research and NASAIt is all about gravity these days. First came GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) and then we'll have GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer). I'll reveal>
ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft is on the last leg of its epic voyage to comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, the first rendezvous with a comet.Every kid has asked 'Are we there yet?' in the car. It's hard to imagine how many times that question would be asked after 10 years and nearly 4 billion miles.Now there is>
It’s hard to focus after a bad night’s sleep and by using mice and flashes of light, scientists have found why; just a few nerve cells in the brain may control the switch between internal thoughts and external distractions. The study may be a breakthrough in understanding how a critical part of the brain>
