A Wormhole is a theoretical passage through space-time that could create shortcuts for long journeys across the universe. Wormholes are predicted by the Einstein's theory of general relativity . It says that space is made up of 3-dimensional space and time as a fourth dimension. This space-time bents or stretches due to the objects it has. The smaller the object is, the more is the space bents which creates a wormhole. Lets understand in easier way, Suppose you are in a room of a large building, and you need to go to the room just below your room, normally you would walk through the lobby and then go down through stairs to the room. But what if you make a hole on the floor and directly jump to the another room.  Similarly, Wormhole connects two points of space-time, which will let you travel between two space points in a very short time, even faster than the Light. It will also let you time travel in past or future. Technically it is not viable, it soun

Earlier this year, Researchers at Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research  built a chatbot that was meant to learn how to negotiate by mimicking human trading and bartering. But when the social network paired two of the programs, nicknamed Alice and Bob, to trade against each other, they started to learn their own bizarre form of communication. The two chatbots came to create their own changes to English that made it easier for them to work – but which remained mysterious to the humans that supposedly look after them. The bizarre discussions came as Facebook challenged its chatbots to try and negotiate with each other over a trade, attempting to swap hats, balls and books, each of which were given a certain value. But they quickly broke down as the robots appeared t

There have been mass extinctions in the past, and we’re probably in one now. All the previous mass extinctions were due to ice age, volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, greenhouse gases, etc. But we are about to face another mass extinction. It may occur due to the human activities. But research says, every time there is a mass extinction, the most powerful and dominating species becomes extinct. In one of the past event, Dinosaurs were dominating and became extinct. We all know, humans are dominating the planet now, and the chances of our extinction are high unless we are prepared for it.

We are not alone in this vast universe and there are many theories for existence of Extraterrestrial(Alien) Life. SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is an institute with a mission to find life outside earth in this dark universe. Jerry R. Ehman who worked under the SETI Project, picked up an unexpected radio frequency supposedly coming from deep space. He was able to get a 72-second signal from the constellation Sagittarius and was never able to get it again. It derived its name, however, from the “wow!” that Jerry wrote in the margin of the printout. Do you believe that extraterrestrial life exists?
