"Death Magnetic" threatens the entire planetary life:

Planets apparently can still be unsuitable habitat for life, if they have lost "magnetic shield" that protects them from radiation, scientists say.

In order to accommodate a life as we know it, one needs a planet dense atmosphere rich in water vapor and liquid water on the surface. Scientists judging whether or not a planet is habitat estimpând the extent meets these conditions, the estimation being made usually based on the distance at which that planet is from its star.

But not only the distance to the star counts in the assessment of a planet as a habitat, said in a recent article.

A planet may lose water due to stellar winds - waves of charged particles - if not protected by a strong magnetic field, say researchers at the University of Antioquia, Colombia.

Mars and Venus have magnetic fields and stellar winds are believed to have spread most of the atmosphere of Mars, while the remaining Venusian atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide, making it toxic.

A magnetic field protects also the inhabitants of a planet of dangerous cosmic radiation (such as Earth's magnetic field protects terrestrial biosphere).

In generating the magnetic field of a planet core helps hot melt the planet, therefore, the researchers calculated how long it would take a solid planet to cool atâît much that "its magnetic generator" internal stop working .

Then they checked the data on three known exoplanets which are believed to be conducive to life: Gliese 581d, HD 40307g and GJ 667Cc.

The results show that the first two planets have magnetic fields strong enough yet (although the limit), but the third is already "finished".

Research team leader, Jorge Zuluaga, emphasized the importance of taking into account the magnetic field when estimating the chances of a planet to be habitable.

"If we want to evaluate habitabilitatea a planet as accurately as possible, we need this information, not only the distance to the star," he said.

Regime led by Adolf Hitler would notice received countless crimes against humanity, plus extreme discrimination and policies that led eventually to the outbreak of the worst military conflagration in history. Among the most interesting and least known episodes of the Nazi regime, it is noted that the fate of the gold stolen and transferred mainly in Swiss banks. Details emerged after the end of the war world have not only increased international scandals that followed and fueled numerous conspiracy theories. As gold continues feverishly searches today.

Halt! Gold was confiscated!

During the Nazi cower Europe, its management did not hesitate to lead a policy of robbery at his victims. Episode entitled "Nazi gold" always aroused interest from both the governments of many states and the victims of Nazi aggression, historians and specialists, as well as ordinary people.

Everyone wanted to know what happened and values held by ethnic deposits in Swiss banks Hebrew, and what happened to the gold looted by the Nazis invaded the country banks. Searches were started over 60 years ago and continues today. For most researchers and investigators, events began to precipitate from the first weeks of April 1945.

At that time, several brigades of the U.S. Third Army, which marched through Germany, they stopped right in the village Merkers Kaiseroda mine. Received information from local residents about the fact that employees of the German Reichsbank gold bullion buried many around. The information proved to be correct.

At the entrance to the mine, the Americans have discovered boxes of gold bullion coin bags of the same precious metal, objects of art and other valuable goods. Treasure was taken by U.S. forces, aided by representatives of the U.S. Treasury. was then decided that gold was worth only about U.S. $ 238.4 million (approximately $ 2.5 billion at present). During the coming weeks, the U.S. military has found gold bars worth $ 18.7 million.

Besides bullion, U.S. officials have made a grim discovery: many gold rings that belonged to victims of the terrible extermination camps.

Identification and Nazi gold recovery operation was started even before the war ended. In 1944 the U.S. government was already informed that the Nazi leaders who do not believe in hypothetical "final victory", trumpeted paranoid of Adolf Hitler, were already busy with the transfer of gold robbed.

Leaders with swastika hopes to secure money for their own people with the necessary amounts of rebuilding a strong Germans after the war.

U.S. officials were particularly worried about the neutral countries that served as storage places for values out of Germany.

Safeheaven Program

As a result, the U.S. Treasury Department and released in conjunction with the Foreign Economic Administration, an ambitious project called Safeheaven program.

Young Children with Parents Gray: What It Means for Society That All People Have Children Later in Life? | RedGage: " The age at which people have children grows and grows. Western society is increasingly becoming one where small children still have parents who have reached half a century, the "making babies" often becomes a thing of the youth did not, but only in middle age. Many experts from different fields are concerned with contemporary phenomenon whose causes are multiple and long-term consequences of which are regarded with interest, but also with fear."

Doctors and biologists warn that, as people get older, the risk of the babies with genetic defects is growing. Economists wonder how society can bear the cost of the material necessary care to a population with an increasing number of members with disabilities caused by these genetic defects.Sociologists and psychologists will do wonders how all these children emotionally, given that many will not have grandparents and their parents will be separated by a "generation gap" was more than a century ago. Other and other experts are asking all kinds of questions about the trend of the modern world: parents already gray hair, Trudeau face the enormous energy consumption implied by the growth of children.

It is the opinion of Anthony Irving, a specialist in the study of meteorites at Washington University, who presented the findings at the 44th Scientific Conference of the Moon and Planets, held in the U.S..

Studies suggest that space rock, called NWA 7325, would come from the Mercury, not Mars or an asteroid.

Why dinosaurs disappeared but no other animals? | RedGage

Because they are large animals, dinosaurs were large portions of food needed to maintain life. Fierce dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus, for example, be fed on other dinosaurs. If their food source is gone, then they do not have any more days.

So, when a meteorite hit the earth 65 million years ago, so much dust was blown poison that Sun could not see. Because plants can not survive without light, without sunlight they died, and behind them, but some seeds in the soil have survived.

Without plants, vegetarian dinosaurs died of starvation.

Why is water wet? | RedGage

2013-04-01T14:00:00.001-07:00

Why is water wet? | RedGage: "Roger Highfield, director of external relations at the Science Museum Group which brings together the most important museums in the UK, provides answers to these questions. "

A first answer would be that when you touch water wet because we feel our fingers tell the brain that the sensation caused by touching the water is "wet".

Nerve impulses send messages all the time from skin to brain communicate things about the world around us. This phenomenon is called the sense of touch and he tells us when things are touch dry, hot or cold, soft or hard. We feel that water is wet because it is a liquid. However, it is liquid only when its temperature is between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius. At zero degrees, or less, the water turns to ice, and at over 100 degrees water enters gaseous, turning into water vapor.

How do I show that I have bones? | RedGage: "Without frame maybe we could reach out to elastics or we could slip under the door but no skeleton but would require several problems regarding keeping a form explains anatomist Joy Reidenberg S. Gaylinn. "

Just like a jelly, because of gravity, most of the time I take the form of box or container where we are.Without being placed in a bowl instead, probably because I looked like a large "pool" of jelly fell on the floor.

The skeleton gives shape, being a kind of inner scaffolding that allows us to show in our feature, by providing surfaces that can attach muscles and joints that act as pulleys

Without these hard parts of the body, which can help support the muscles and joints without mechanical advantages brought us we always have to focus all our energy to move the limbs.Consequently, in the absence skeleton we always weak and tired.

Some of the most feared - and equally fascinating - soldiers are snipers precision. Present in all armies of the world, they are in a category with special totally modern warriors who come often to make a difference in the theaters of operations. In short, a sniper is a marksman soldier qualities outstanding (excellent eyesight, and calm self-control, patience, determination and nerves of steel).Usually operate alone, in pairs or supported by a team that helps in data acquisition and coordinates the technical and tactical on the enemy.

Eight Reasons Diets Fail | RedGage

Eight Reasons Diets Fail | RedGage: "Losing weight in an efficient manner is ensured only by its exercise caloric restriction. When you want to lose weight need to change our lifestyle completely. "

Therefore, we must change behavior and give less good habits in our lives. Here, then, 8 issues may prevent us to lose weight even when fully believing that diet.

1. Do you eat healthy but do not do that

Your diet consists of a variety of processed foods? When you want to eat healthy, whether you want to eat foods rich in carbohydrates, whether they prefer those with low carbohydrate, it is important to eat "real food". Than a lot of diet soda and cereal bars do not fall into what we call healthy eating.

2. You are a very stressed

The system reacts to stress is unconscious, he responds to stimuli and nothing else. Therefore, the body does not react to sources of stress, be it emotional stress, physical, financial or other nature.

All these types of stress causes production of cortisol, the hormone "fight or flight" which catalyzes muscles, worsening insulin resistance and promotes fat storage. For 200,000 years, stress has emerged in times of life and death. He was intense and often, and cortisol release was large enough to increase the chances of survival. Today our bodies respond in the same way but much less serious situations than in the past, jams or deadlines. Therefore it is important that from time to time to relax and relieve stress, which among other things prevents us give up weight.

3. Not enough sleep

Extraordinary success: a new method enables cure leukemia? | RedGage:

Researchers have released new evidence showing that the use of gene therapy to manipulate the immune system is a promising new strategy in the fight against cancer.

Five patients suffering from a fatal type of leukemia have experienced rapid and complete remission after treatment unique. The researchers used cells taken from their immune systems that were genetically modified to attack the disease.

Although the study was not large one, researchers were impressed by the fact that in all five patients, the cancer was eradicated. If one of the five patients, all evidence attesting to the presence of cancer have disappeared eight days of treatment.

"The results are profound," said Renier J. Brentjens, oncologist at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and also the lead author of the study. "This is an extraordinary step," added the researcher.

Researchers have calculated exactly the time when half the planet's species were killed by ancient mega-vulcanoes | RedGage:

Scientists have used new techniques of dating rocks to estimate with greater precision while a chain of massive volcanic eruptions led to the extinction of half the species on Earth 200 million years ago.

Researchers have produced the most accurate time so far - 201,564,000 years ago - the event known as the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, the fourth largest extinction in the history of our planet.

"Outbreaks have been an extraordinary event," said Dennis Kent, co-author of the study published in the journal Science and also an expert in paleomagnetism of the Lamont-Doherty Laboratory at Columbia University.

Researchers say that the study provides a historical parallel manmade climate change today, showing how sharp increase in carbon dioxide levels can be faster than the capacity of vulnerable species to adapt to change.

What are the side effects of energy drinks? | RedGage

What are the side effects of energy drinks? | RedGage:

New studies indicate that among the side effects of energy drinks include cardiac arrhythmias, and hypertension.

The link between eating disorders energy drinks and heart rate is already known, especially since been made public cases of young people who died as a result of side effects of these beverages.

Now a team of researchers led by Dr. Sachin A. Shah from University of the Pacific, Stockton, California, conducted a meta-analysis that used data collected from seven previous studies in order to determine whether consumption energy drinks affect heart health. Participants included in the 7 studies were young people aged between 18 and 45 years.

The first part of the analysis focused on the QT interval, a measure of heart rate on electrocardiogram. QT interval is associated with life-threatening arrhythmias.

Researchers analyzed this measure in 93 patients who consumed between one and three cans of energy drinks. The results showed that the QT interval of those who consumed energy drinks was 10 milliseconds longer than those not consumed these beverages.

Earthquakes have the next threat to Humanity: 3.5 Deaths one million by 2100

2013-02-22T23:14:00.001-08:00

A new study by geologists That argues in this century, Population growth entail Will Increasing The Number of Deaths caused an by Earthquakes.

With the World Population Continues to Grow and Develop in These Areas prone to Earthquakes, anew study estimates during 2001-2100 That, Earthquakes Will Be Responsible for Deaths 3.5 one million.

"The more There Will Be More people on the planet, the Greater the likelihood of catastrophic Earthquakes," said study author Tom Holzer.

From 2001 until now, there were already four catastrophic earthquake That Killed More Than 50,000 People. By 1900, every century there was only one major earthquake, But from 1900 to 2000 there were seven Such disasters.

Scientists have Analyzed historical date on Deaths from Earthquakes since 856 AD to the present and compared These events with World Population Estimates. Analyzed According to documents found in the current century Earthquakes That Will produce between 2.3 and 5 one million one million Victims. Analyzing The Most Credible documents Estimated That by 2100 it Will record 3.5 one million by catastrophic Earthquakes Deaths caused an 21.

Holzer's study points out That this is not due to fatal Increase Earthquakes Such large number of events But the fact That people living in buildings located in seismic zones Vulnerable.

Huge discovery: the largest structure in the universe cosmology changing laws!

Astronomers have discovered the largest structure identified so far in the universe, a group of galaxies spanning a distance of 4 billion light years from end to end.

Barcelona from € 155 > Book tickets through

The structure is "large group of quasars" ( large quasar group - LQG), a collection of extremely bright galactic nuclei fueled by supermassive black holes. This group is so large that it could lead to a change of modern cosmological theories, the researchers say.

"Despite the immensity of the LQC is difficult to perceive, we can safely say that is the biggest structure ever found in the universe," said Roger Clowes, from the University of Central Lancashire ."The discovery is exciting because it contradicts what we understand so far about the size of the universe," said Clowes.

Quasars are the brightest objects in the universe. Astronomers know for decades that quasars tend to form huge groups, and measuring some 600 million light-years wide.

Group quasars discovered by the team led by Clowes is beyond anything we could imagine. The group consists of 73 quasars and spans 1.6 billion light years in all directions, and at the widest point spans a distance of 4 billion light years.

To understand the extraordinary size of this group of quasars can be compared with the Milky Way galaxy, the solar system is part of the Earth. Milky Way measures 100,000 light years in width and distance from the nearest Milky Way galaxy, Andromeda, is 2.5 million light years.

Discovered group of scientists is so great, in fact, that current theories predict that something should not exist. Group quasars appears to violate a theory accepted by most astronomers, which is known as the "cosmological principle". According to this principle, the universe is essentially homogeneous when viewed on a scale large enough. For this reason, the calculations suggest that structures should not be larger than 1.2 billion light years.

"Our team has found other similar cases, providing further evidence for this theory change. We will continue to investigate this fascinating phenomenon, "said Clowes.

The study was published in this week's edition of the scientific journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society .
