Alien Civilizations - What Can a Type 7 Do & What Level Are We? #science #universe Re-discovered 2023-09-28 | Modern humans have existed for only 40,000 years, and modern science for only around 400 years. We have made huge advancements in science and technology in this short span of time, and even gone beyond the limit of our Solar System. The Universe has existed for over 13 billion years and is home to countless galaxies, each with billions of stars and planets. It is estimated that our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might have up to 20 billion planets that can sustain life. Imagine the number of planets that could be hosting intelligent life. Out of the countless alien civilizations, many must be millions or even billions of years older than us. We cannot even begin to imagine the level of advancement of their science and technology.Let's take a look at different levels of civilizations that can exist out there.00:00 Start00:42 Kardashev Scale01:43 Type 1 Civilization02:56 Type 2 Civilization03:47 Type 3 Civilization04:46 Type 4 Civilization05:49 Type 5 Civilization06:25 Type 6 Civilization07:17 Type 7 Civilization#civilization #multiverse #Kardashevscale

Jupiter is our ENEMY! #shorts #science #space Re-discovered 2023-06-06 | We have always believed, that Jupiter protects us from comets, and asteroids. But a recent study shows, that this is not the case. A simulation of the Solar system was run, by varying the mass of Jupiter. It turns out that Jupiter is actually a bully. It disturbs the space rocks in the asteroid belt, and prevents them from forming planets, and it's massive gravity hurls them out of their orbits, towards Earth. The same is the case with long range comets. It has sent more comets, into Earth threatening trajectories, than away from us.#solarsystem #jupiter #asteroids
Suns closest star is going to change! #shorts #space #science Re-discovered 2023-06-04 | Proxima Centauri, will soon lose it's status of being the closest star to sun. It is a red dwarf, part of a 3 star system, called Alpha Centauri. For around 32000 years, it has been our closest stellar neighbor. But in 25,000 years from now, it will hand over that position to it's two siblings, Alpha Centauri A and B, which will alternate as our closest stars every 79.91 years.#universe #re-discovered
Can our nearest exoplanet have life? #shorts #space #science Re-discovered 2023-06-03 | Our nearest exoplanet neighbor, Proxima Centauri-b, just 4 light years away, lies within the habitable zone of it's star.It orbits a red dwarf, Proxima Centauri, at a close, but habitable distance, in merely 11.2 days. The X-rays and ultraviolet radiation, it receives, is hundreds of times more than Earth. This radiation can not only strip away lighter molecules like Hydrogen, but also heavier elements like oxygen and nitrogen, from it's atmosphere. Surface water might be feasible on this planet. but, having a stable atmosphere is extremely important in maintaining that surface water, shielding from space radiation and making the climate conducive for life.#universe
ORGAN on a CHIP? 🤔#shorts #science Re-discovered 2023-06-02 | Organ on a chip: Imagine, if we could test drugs, without testing them on animals first. Each year millions of animals are used and even killed to test the efficacy of drugs. Not only is this cruel, but many times the results and side effects of these drugs in the human body are very different. The scientists at Wyss institute have developed a path breaking chip that can mimic the detailed structure and function of any organ in the human body. Heart, Lungs, kidneys, intestines, liver - all created on a small polymer chip! Along with being a replacement to animal testing, this technology also provides much more accurate results.
Mountains of SUGAR found hidden in the sea! Re-discovered 2023-06-01 | Scientists, at Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, have recently unearthed vast seagrass meadows, that release sugar in the soil.These seagrass meadows are vital carbon-capturing ecosystems.Just one square kilometer of seagrass stores twice as much carbon as land-based forests, and it does so 35 times faster. They're true powerhouses in combating climate change. But, these ecosystems are under great threat due to water pollution and and rising global temperatures. There is an urgent need top conserve these blue carbon ecosystems, to save our planet from imminent disaster.
Can aliens use Black Holes as computers? #shorts #science Re-discovered 2023-05-31 | #blackholes #universeAliens, might be using black holes as quantum computers.

The weakened magnetic field, can expose the spacecrafts to Sun's charged particles, causing permanent damage.#magneticfield #solarflare
The night sky should not be dark! #shorts #universe #space #science Re-discovered 2023-05-02 | Olbers' paradox, or the dark night sky paradox, says that if the Universe is static, homogeneous, and has infinite stars, then the night sky cannot be dark. The close and distant stars will fill all the gaps, making the sky fully illuminated and bright. The night sky is dark and not uniform, and contradicts this argument, thus providing evidence of a dynamic universe, supported by the Big Bang Theory.#bigbangtheory #Olbersparadox #stars
Einsteins letter predicted this decades ago! #shorts #einstein #science Re-discovered 2023-05-01 | Ever wondered how migratory birds can fly thousands of miles without getting lost? In an astonishing find, a long lost fan mail, written by Einstein, seems to have predicted what researchers are finding out now. In his letter Einstein mentions that birds might have some sensory perception that allows them to accomplish this feat. There is now evidence that birds have special photoreceptors in their eyes, that allows them to sense Earth's magnetic field, and any subtle change in it. The decades old letter, first discovered in 2011, has been recently donated to The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.Einstein's letter image credit: Dyer et al. 2021, J Comp Physiol A / The Hebrew University of Jerusalem#magneticfield #migratorybirds
Fungi have a human like language! #shorts #science Re-discovered 2023-04-30 | A shocking new discovery suggests that Fungi might be "talking" to each other using a language of up to 50 words. Electrical impulses were recorded in the network of mycelia, the microscopic roots. These showed word lengths matching human language. "Split Gills", a type of fungus, growing on decaying wood, was found to communicate in the most complex sentences. Fungi can sense much more than humans, including chemicals released by other species. They could not only be communicating among themselves, but also reporting the well being of other plants in the vicinity.#fungi

Are bananas radioactive? #shorts #science Re-discovered 2023-04-26 | Yes, the world's favorite fruit is radioactive. Bananas contain Potassium (K) and a small amount of that (K-40) is radioactive. Before you panic and throw away those bananas in your kitchen, watch further. Although bananas contain a small amount of radioactive Potassium, it is still much lesser than the background radioactivity that we are constantly exposed to. How many bananas do you need to consume before they can cause definite harm? Without overwhelming you with the whole calculation, we have done the math for you. It will be eating, roughly a billion bananas, in one sitting. And if that feat is tried, there will be a million other reasons to cause death than just radioactive Potassium!#radioactive

Known as Pythia’s Oasis, it is draining water from under the tectonic plates. This is happening through a fault called the Cascadia Subduction Zone.Losing too much water from the fault, can build up pressure between the tectonic plates, as the liquid acts as a lubricant.The result can be a devasting magnitude 9 mega earthquake, off the Northwest coast of United States.
White Hole - The unknown twin of a Black Hole #shorts #science #space #universe Re-discovered 2023-04-22 | When Albert Einstein predicted the Black Holes in 1916, he had his doubts. He later mentioned, that it is not possible for Black holes to exist in the real world. A century later, astronomers were not only able to prove the existence of a black hole, but also take it's photograph. The same theory of General Relativity, brings the concept of a White Hole. Just as nothing can escape a Black Hole, it is impossible for anything, even light, to enter a White Hole. It has only been a theoretical concept so far. But recently, some scientists have suggested that these twins, could be the two sides of the same coin, and might even look the same, when seen from afar.#theoryofrelativity #blackhole

Stay away from this Lake! #shorts #nyos Re-discovered 2023-04-08 | Lake Nyos, CameroonToday we take you to Lake Nyos, Cameroon. The lake's water is saturated with carbon dioxide, leaking from a pocket of magma beneath the lake. Even a minor earthquake, can trigger a release of huge amounts of carbon dioxide clouds from the lake. In 1986, such an eruption suffocated and killed more than 1700 people, and 3500 livestock in the nearby villages. In 2001, degassing syphons were installed, to let carbon dioxide escape in small and safe quantities. The lake still poses a threat, because its natural wall is weakening. A tremor can cause the wall to collapse, allowing the water to flood the downstream villages and release huge amounts of carbon dioxide.#dangerouslake #lakes #deadlylake

Can this lake turn you to stone? #shorts #lakenatron Re-discovered 2023-04-05 | Lake Natron, TanzaniaThis beautiful red colored lake, is home to hundreds of flamingos that flock here. But, flamingos are one of the few species that can endure the extremely alkaline and hot waters of this lake. The salt content in the water is so high, that it can slowly calcify the animals and birds that accidentally fall into it's waters. It became popular in 2013 when photographer Nick Brandt posted ghastly photos of calcified birds and animals found around the lake. These photos gave rise to the myth that animals turn to stone, the moment they touch it's waters. Leaving the myths aside, the lake is extremely dangerous. The hot waters can give third degree burns within a few seconds and the high pH of 10.5 can give severe chemical burns.#lakes #deadlylakes #natron #mysteriousplaces
