Supernova as an Evolutionary Engine: How a Stellar Explosion 2.5 Million Years Ago Could Have Altered DNA on Earth

Science 08/12/2026, 10:08
🌌 A supernova explosion 2.5 million years ago could have changed the course of evolution on Earth! Scientists have found traces of the iron-60 isotope in the ocean, proving a nearby stellar explosion. It is believed that a flux of cosmic rays damaged DNA and triggered an evolutionary leap in fish in Lake Tanganyika. From voting glitches to mutations: space influences us more than we think. 🧬🔥 #science #space #evolution #supernova #XABinfo

Rewriting Earth's History: Scientists Disprove Theory of Global Chemical Crisis 2 Billion Years Ago

Science 08/12/2026, 03:57
🌍 Scientists from Caltech have turned the understanding of Earth's chemical history upside down! For a long time, it was believed that 2 billion years ago there was a global shift in the carbon cycle. But new data from samples from Karelia (🇷🇺) shows: anomalies were caused by local contact of magma with rocks, not a planetary cataclysm. The global theory is under threat, the final verdict is up to samples from Gabon. 🔬🧬 #Science #Geology #EarthHistory
