Am putea deveni nemuritori �n 20 de ani, gratie nanotehnologiei

Omul de stiinta american Ray Kurzweil sustine ca oamenii ar putea deveni practic nemuritori �n aproximativ doua decenii. Nanotehnologia si �ntelegerea mai buna a felului �n care functioneaza organismul uman ne vorajuta sa traim vesnic.

Kurzweil, care a mai prezis aparitia unor tehnologii revolutionare, spune ca drumul spre nemurire este chiar accelerat de ritmul �incredibil� �n care evolueaza tehnologiile calculatoarelor si de progresele �nregistrate �n cercetarea genetica.

Ajuns la 61 de ani, omul de stiinta american apreciaza ca, teoretic, av�nd �n vedere repeziciunea cu care ne �mbogatim cunostintele, nanotehnologii capabile sa �nlocuiasca multe dintre organele noastre vitale ar putea sa apara pe piata �n 20 de ani.

Primele imagini cu reteaua de pesteri de sub piramidele din Giza

Primele imagini cu lumea subterana a faraonilor, o retea de pesteri de sub piramide - VEZI VIDEO

Primele imagini cu reteaua de pesteri de sub piramidele din Giza au fost postate pe internet. Pesterile au fost descoperite de exploratorul britanic Andrew Collins, privit cu scepticism c�nd a anuntat prima data ca a dat peste lumea subterana a faraonilor.


Populate de lilieci si paianjeni veninosi, pesterile subtarene se afla sub Platoul Giza, baza a celor mai cunoscute piramide din antichitate si a Sfinxului.

"Exista elemente de arheologie neatinse acolo, precum si ecosisteme sensibile ce includ colonii de lilieci si specii de paianjeni, pe care i-am identificat ca veninosi", a declarat Collins, citat de
discovery.com. Exploratorul britanic �si detaliaza descoperirile �ntr-o carte publicta �n aceasta toamna. Collins a ajuns �n labirintul subteran de grote dupa ce a citit memoriile unui diplomat si explorator din secolul al XIX-lea. "�n memoriile sale, consulul britanic Henry Salt povesteste ca a investigat existenta unor catacombe subterane �n Giza, �n 1817, �mpreuna cu italianul Giovanni Caviglia", explica Andrew Collins.

Descoperirea lui Collins a fost initial primita cu scepticism. �nsa exploratorul are acum si imagini din lumea subterana a faraonilor. "Am explorat at�t c�t am putut. La un moment dat aerul devine foarte rarefiat si sunt capcane la tot pasul, precum si insecte veninoase", spune britanicul. "Textele funerare antice fac aluzie la existenta unei lumi subterane �n apropierea orasului Giza", sustine Collins.

Orasul Giza era cunoscut �n vechime ca Rostau - "gura pasajelor", potrivit discovery.com.

Totusi, autoritatile egiptene resping descoperirea britanicului si existenta acestei retele imense de grote. "Nu exista nimic de descoperit la Giza. Stim deja tot ce este de stiut", sustin oficialii.

New material can be injected into bones to heal them fast

New material can be injected into bones to heal them fast

In this workaday world, you don't have time to allow your broken bones to heal properly. You've got places to go and people to see! Which is why I'm so excited for HEALOS Fx, a new material that can be injected into bones to heal them quickly.

The bone graft material is injected using a hollow needle, hardening enough to be a graft less than a minute after injection. How awesome is that? No more healing, just endure what is surely a huge needle and you'll be walking out the door in no time flat.�The future is here!

Earth-like planet discovered

Earth-like planet discovered

Several�gigantic gaseous planets have been spotted�orbiting distant stars, but Planet Gliese 581 e could be the lightest planet outside our Solar System ever detected. Located 20.5 light years away from us, it's 1.9 times the mass of Earth, indicating there are probably billions of Earth-sized planets revolving around stars throughout the universe.

The only problem with this planet is that it's so close to its star, it would be uninhabitable. However, three other planets revolve around that same star, and scientists say one of them, Gliese 581 d, could be covered by a large and deep ocean. It's situated far enough away from its star to be habitable. The catch with that one: it's seven times more massive than the earth, which would make human explorers feel awfully sluggish.

These are remarkable discoveries. Now we're getting somewhere. While none of these newly discovered planets are quite right for human habitation, this is exciting news because it shows the likelihood of spotting a planet that's very much like our own. Now all we need to do is solve that pesky problem of traveling the speed of light to get to any of these places. At the speed of today's fastest space probe, to get to Gliese 581 d would take about 350,000 years.
