Peruvian Mummy is Extraterrestrial?

A new discovery has been made in Peru, in which archaeologists found a mummy with a head almost 20 inches long. Its body? Also 20 inches long. 

The mummy was found by Renato Davila Riquelme, who works at the Privado Ritos Andinos museum found in Cusco. What Renato says is interesting about the head is that while it has a soft spot (commonly seen in babies) it also has wisdom teeth. Another interesting observation he makes is how large the eye sockets of the skeleron head are. Below is a video with more info on the subject.

Lightest Material on Earth

Scientists have invented the lightest material on Earth. Dubbed "ultralight metallic microlattice", it consists of 99.99% air. The material is easiest to make out of nickle, but it can also be made out of other metals.

How light is this material? Well to put it into perspective, it is 100 times lighter than Styrofoam, and when dropped from shoulder height, it acts like a feather and takes about 10 seconds to touch the ground. If that wasn't crazy enough, if it is placed on top of a dandelion, it does not damage the fluff at al, as seen in the picture  below.
Now, for its uses? Well, Lorenzo Valdevit (UCI's principal investigator on this project) says that it can be used for anything ranging from battery applications to acoustic dampening and even impact protection. Definitely an interesting  material.

There Was The Fifth Giant Planet In Our Solar System?

Astronomer David Nesvorny of Southwest Research Institute from Texas believes that our solar system may have had a fifth planet once near Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. He believes that this planet was designed in the depths of our galaxy in a moment of cosmic disorder. After carefully studying the Kuiper Belt and craters from the Moon, Nesvorny concluded that about 600 millions years ago in the life of our solar system unstable orbit dynamics appeared that affected giant planets and made smaller celestial objects scatter. So, some of them moved in the Kuiper Belt and others moved on the inside of the galaxy.There also existed an impact with the Moon and other planets. If things would have been like that, then changes in the orbit of Jupiter would have had devastating effect on large and small planets like the Earth, the last one being able to collide with Mars or Venus.
So, something was wrong. "My colleagues have suggested another way to solve this problem", said Nesvory in a press conference.
It was assumed that Jupiter's orbit could change very quickly and not too slowly. But it didn't solve the problem because all the computer simulations performed have shown that sudden change of Jupiter's orbit would have made the planets Uranus and Neptune to be expelled from our solar system. So, probably in our solar system there was a fifth giant planet. Introducing another giant planet with a mass similar to that of Uranus or Neptune made perfect computer simulations that is the result of today's solar system as we know it. With Jupiter remaining in his place the inner planets remained unaffected and the outer planets remained behind.
"The possibility that our solar system had more than four giant planets in the beginning and then some of them were ejected seem to be feasible conditions because recently scientists discovered a large number of free floating planets in interstellar space indicating that the process of ejection of planets is one that is currently happening", said Nesvorny.
Therefore, is this scenario were true this fifth planet could be Planet X?

Who Built The Moon ?

More and more theories assert that the Moon is not only a natural celestial object near the Earth who came in this place accidentally. Coincidences do not exist, there are only laws unknown to us. Believe it or not, but it seems that the Moon was created specifically to support life on planet Earth because it has some unique benefits for people. If the Moon did not have the size and weight that it has and if the distance between it and the Earth was not the one who is, then our planet would not have been able to support intelligent life.

Mayan Prophecies And Crop Circles


"Mayan Calendar is the center of a cultural phenomenon. For some, 2012 will be the end of the world but for others, bring the promise of a new beginning and for all others, 2012 is the explanation for some disturbing realities, such a climate change, which seems to be out of control for unknown reasons ".

Does life after death exist ?

The Universe Has Over 100 Advanced Civilizations

The international community should prepare for a close encounter with alien civilizations, said the Academy of Sciences of the United Kingdom, after a long study done on the existence of life in the Universe. " Based on the famous Drake equation that helps determine the number of civilizations in the galaxy and the possibility of coming into contact with them, we can say that in the Universe exists between 10 and 100 extraterrestrial civilizations", said one of the authors of the report, Scottish professor Martin Dominik, from St. Andrews University. " This is the most conservative estimate, there are actually many more intelligent forms of life", he added. 
Above mentioned formula was developed by Frank Donald Drake, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the Santa Cruz University from California, in 1960.
Now, British scientists want to make a special agency that will deal with anticipated problems related to meeting with extraterrestrial civilizations. This agency should be established within the UN structures.
Professor Dominik urged people not to be afraid of " space aliens" because in reality " alternative worlds are not hazards as described in science fiction literature".
