https://www.afinalwarning.com/512629.html (Natural News) A new study published in the Physical Review Letters suggests that the remnant cores of dead average-size stars can explode like a nuclear bomb. Known as white dwarfs, these dense cores are packed with heavy radioactive elements called actinides that can spontaneously undergo nuclear fission – the splitting of atoms. Depending on certain conditions, these cores can eventually undergo uncontrolled fission, culminating in a massive stellar explosion known as a supernova. “The conditions to build and set off an atomic bomb s...

The melting of Earth's crust beneath a vast expanse of western North America is baffling researchers due to its unusual location inland. Crustal melting, which plays an important role in the [...]

https://www.afinalwarning.com/510003.html (Natural News) European researchers discovered a new species of cuckoo wasps in Norway’s Lista peninsula. The newfound species is nearly identical and behaves similary to another kind of cuckoo wasps,  Chrysis brevitarsis, making it difficult to distinguish them from each other. Both are parasitic wasps that leech off other insects to feed their young. In a paper published in the journal  Insect Systematics and Diversity, the researchers detailed how they were able to identify the newfound species using the chemicals they emit to commu...

https://www.afinalwarning.com/502510.html (Natural News) Scientists discovered that giant tortoises can remember skills that they learned a decade ago, exceeding their reputation as animals lacking in speed and cognitive ability. In their report, a research team from the  Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology studied Galapagos and Seychelles tortoises at zoos in Vienna and Zurich for nine years. For their experiment, they trained the tortoises to bite a colored ball at the end of a stick. Next, they moved one to two meters away from the tortoises to train them to move towards th...

https://www.afinalwarning.com/500185.html (Natural News) The Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC), a construction firm that focuses on space colonization, plans to build the first “space hotel” in 2025. In a virtual press junket on Jan. 29, OAC described the space hotel as a large, wheel-shaped structure that spins to generate artificial gravity while orbiting Earth. The structure called the “Voyager Station” would include many amenities commonly found in a cruise ship, such as restaurants, spas and movie houses. It would cater to space tourists as well as researchers and space ag...
