In the latest LIGO event, a black hole 19 times the mass of the sun and another black hole 31 times the sun's mass married to make a single hole of 49 solar masses. During the last frantic moments of the merger, they were shedding more energy in the form of gravitational waves than all the stars in the observable universe.

Biologists say half of all species could be extinct by end of century
https://www.theguardian.com/envi…
"One in five species on Earth now faces extinction, and that will rise to 50% by the end of the century unless urgent action is taken. That is the stark view of the world’s leading biologists, ecologists and economists who will gather on Monday to determine the social and economic changes needed to save the planet’s biosphere."
- Hopefully humans are on the list.utopian
- Why is this a problem? Haven't something like 99.5% of all species that have ever existed become extinct. Life finds a way, no?Morning_star

Quadriplegic man's arm and hand brought back to life by thought-control tech
http://news.sky.com/story/quadri…
A quadriplegic man has had his right arm and hand brought back to life with the help of thought-control technology.
Bill Kochevar, 56, was paralysed below his shoulders in a cycling accident eight years ago but can now grasp and lift objects after having two pill-sized electrodes implanted in his brain.

When an old, respected scientist claims that something is possible, he is almost certainly right.

Looks like the 'deep sea vent' hypothesis for the emergence of life wins out now too.

- bull. god hadn't even turned on the lights yetGnash
- Don't let the religious folks know this.utopian
- If religious people didn't think so small, they could say god created the big bang and guides the creation of all living things in the universe.sofakingback
- Everything in the universe is made of the same elements. it would be so easy to just credit god for it. But no, he's a white dude in sandals. hates dino dna.sofakingback
- if so, then why focus on a handful of tribes in a desert, thousands of years ago, on one planet among countless others in the universe?monospaced
- if so what? what are you fired up about here? lol are you asking me to explain how jesus works??? I don't know, I don't believe in god, go ask a priest.sofakingback
- What I'm saying is, you can tack the big bang and evolution on to creation, as for picking a certain people, why not? Its a bullshit story anyway. make it up.sofakingback
- Its just a thought. I don't feel passionately about an opinion I crafted in 2.5 seconds. So save your arguing powers for something else. lolsofakingback
- I bet the first thing we find on Europa is some weird disease that fucks everyone up. Humans are such meddling little bastards!Ianbolton

- you seriously need to chill out sofa, just pointing out how we agree the very concept you proposed falls apart instantly once reason is applied.monospaced
- Just as easily as the bullshit made up jeebus crap. Peace.monospaced
- Says the guy that nukes over everything, Including this post. lol. I like you tho, you're just a little extra. ;)sofakingback
- I don't nuke over very thing g and certainly not this post in any way, not like your reaction to my innocent comment.monospaced
- I'm a little extra what? You're insulting me again for what? Holy shit you need to relax because you're clearly triggered into nuclear territory. Chill!monospaced

Just watched this episode. Has a lot of good info. on the current state of climate change. Its insane how people don't believe in climate change. Its exactly what happened with tobacco companies. How fucking stupid are we as a species?!?!?
- indeedfadein11
- it's only the 'man-made' part that some people disagree with, not climate change as a wholeGnash
- Science deniers and people tied to the polluting industries completely disagree. Including trumps cabinet picks for the EPA and education. Sad.monospaced
- Oh and don't forget those people who believe only god can change the climate and that only prayer and burning fossil fuels will save us.monospaced
- 85% of americans agree the earth is getting warmer. 49% believe caused mostly by human activity. only 11% think no evidence its getting warmerGnash
- well... everything is natural, even 'man made' - because where else in the universe has it come from if not from earth. man-made = changed. So...fruitsalad
- You can view earth as some sort of chowder soup, made up of various ingredients. man is merely stirring it a bit quick that it'd naturally churn around.fruitsalad
- @Gnash, sadly those numbers align with the amount of science deniers out there. I believe it's close to 100% of the scientific community agrees it's man-made.monospaced
- it's certainly the majority. according to PEW 84% of scientists say the earth is warming because of human activity.Gnash
- Yeah, so why does someone believe an oil company when they deny it?monospaced
- climate change deniers are more of a threat than climate change itself, because we can actually work to reverse itmoldero
- maybe because they own oil stocksGnash
- lol @Gnash, that's a funny joke
https://cdn.arstechn…
http://media.treehug…monospaced - lol. okay, maybe not those guysGnash
- nice f'ing ride, thoughGnash
- I didn't watch the doc but the evidence is there that all planets in our solar system are changing at a similar rate...set
- ... So climate change exists but we're not responsible. That doesn't mean we don't need to change though as we're obviously destroying the planet.set
- I guess what I mean is 'that would suggest' rather than talking in facts that I have no idea about.. ;)set
- Well, we're not destroying the planet, the planet is fine, it can survive anything we can dish out. We are destroying our livable environment. zero f's givensofakingback
- Well sure, but we're destroying precious rainforests, for ex. , which destroys the atmosphere, which affects all life. But yes, it'll grow back once we're gone.set
- And ultimately if we stop our destruction and go completely sustainable and green, we're not doing it for the planet, we're doing it for ourselves.set

- 1st I'm in for a cure for cancer, as much as you. My father died of complications post-cancer when I was 17 after a degenerative disease that lasted 10 years.Bennn

- You didn't say shit about big corpos... your initial post was about "Earth suffering from overpopulation"... nice try flipping to that corpo bullshit, benny. ;)PonyBoy
- Again... if you think man is such a hindrance then why don't folks like you just off yourselves out of love for earth? :) I know it's harsh...PonyBoy
- And for the record, ben... I don't want you to commit suicide. I'm merely illustrating how ridiculous your initial comment was by being equally ridiculous. <3PonyBoy
- I know what you mean Ben. This is still a private treatment isn't it? So, as always, if you're rich you can bathe in eternal life while the poor die.Ianbolton
