Threats from Outer Space Might Be Fueling Conspiracy Theories #Paranormal

Tony Milligan: There are many home-grown problems on Earth, but there’s still time to worry about bad things arriving from above. The most recent is the asteroid 2024 YR4, which could be a “city killer” if it hits a heavily populated area of our planet in the early years of the next decade. The chances of that happening are now estimated to be around 0.001%. But there was a brief moment after the asteroid’s discovery last year when the estimated danger of a direct hit crossed the 1% threshold of comfortable risk. There’s a need to worry about planetary defence…

Intelligent Life Could Be More Common Than Previously Believed #Paranormal

A new study from Penn State challenges the long-held belief that intelligent life is rare, suggesting it may be more probable than previously assumed, reports thedebrief.org. In 1961, Frank Drake introduced the Drake Equation, estimating the likelihood of advanced civilizations in the Milky Way. By 2023, advances in exoplanet science and astrobiology led to refinements, including Sara Seager’s equation focusing on biosignatures. Previously, physicist Brandon Carter’s 1983 “hard steps” model argued that life is rare due to improbable evolutionary leaps. The Penn State study revisits this model, offering a fresh perspective. Scientists have long explored planetary habitability using Goldilocks Zones—regions…

32 Memes That Can’t Stop Coming And Won’t Stop Coming #Fun

Here we are once again. Another day, another list of 30ish memes for you to consume in any way you want to. It’s pretty miraculous that these memes keep on coming. You should be so lucky to get a fresh stack of brand-new memes in a randomized order every 12 hours. Who knew that there were so many memes in the world? It’s like we’re Daniel Day-Lewis in the film adaptation of Upton Sinclair’s novel Oil! We’re excising this incredible resource from the ground and making it available much more ethically than Daniel Plainview ever could. We would never do the things he did to Paul Dano, aka Eli Sunday. Memes are not worth hitting a guy with a bowling pin over. Memes are not worth abandoning your deaf child for. These comparisons might be getting fuzzy, but if you love memes as much as Daniel Plainview loved having a confusing accent, you’ve come to the right place.

Habitable planets may have appeared before the first galaxies #Paranormal

What came first, galaxies or planets? The answer has always been galaxies, but new research is changing that idea, reports universetoday.com. Could habitable planets really have formed before there were galaxies? In the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang, there were no heavy elements. There was only hydrogen, which comprised about 75% of the mass, and helium, which comprised the remaining 25%. (There were probably also trace amounts of lithium, even beryllium.) There was nothing heavier, meaning there was nothing for rocky planets to form from. After a few hundred million years, the first stars and galaxies formed. As successive…
