Supernova explosion, symbolizing a cosmic event that could have influenced life evolution on Earth

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

Breakthrough in Fusion Energy: US Funds Creation of a 'Fuel Factory' for Reactors

Science 08/12/2026, 05:16
🇺🇸 The US has awarded grants to Kyoto Fusioneering to create the Unity-3 prototype — a device for producing fuel for fusion reactors. 🔬 Development will take place at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The device will test 'breeding blanket' technology, which generates tritium from liquid lithium. 🚀 Data from Unity-3 will help other startups (Realta Fusion, Thea Energy, etc.) in reactor design, accelerating the development of fusion energy.

Consciousness as the Foundation of Reality: Why Maria Strömme's Article Caused a Scandal and Was Retracted

Science 08/06/2026, 20:56
🧠 **Consciousness vs. Matter: The 2026 Scientific Scandal** An article by Swedish scientist Maria Strömme, claiming that consciousness is the foundation of reality, caused a storm in academic circles and was retracted by the journal AIP Advances. 🔹 **Essence of the theory:** Matter is merely a projection of the field of consciousness, and we are local waves in this ocean. 🔹 **Reason for retraction:** Impossibility of experimental verification and lack of physical units of measurement. 🔹 **Outcome:** The article was retracted, but the original is available and continues to be studied. #science #physics #consciousness #news2026
