  Some 600 light years away, NASA scientists have discovered a planet that seems very similar to planet earth. The scientists are so enthusiastic with the new discovery that they have called it a twin of our own earth as they think the new planet has what it takes to sustain a human life. NASA scientists have said that the new planet that is much bigger in size than our own earth may be ideally suited for plants to grow and sustaining animal life. The possibility of vegetation and life there has filled scientists with a newfound enthusiasm. Scientists have named the new planet as Kepler 22 and have suggested that it is complete with a similar solar system that is very close to our own and say that never in history of space exploration, they have stumbled upon such a planet that had so much resemblance to earth and that could sustain life, the way our earth does. America’s space agency NASA while explaining its very objective Kepler Mission says on its portal, “Consi...

The physics world is abuzz with news that a group of European physicists plans to announce Friday that it has clocked a burst of subatomic particles known as neutrinos breaking the cosmic speed limit — the speed of light — that was set by Albert Einstein in 1905. If true, it is a result that would change the world. But that “if” is enormous. Even before the European physicists had presented their results — in a paper that appeared on the physics Web site arXiv.org on Thursday night and in a seminar at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, on Friday — a chorus of physicists had risen up on blogs and elsewhere arguing that it was way too soon to give up on Einstein and that there was probably some experimental error. Incredible claims require incredible evidence. “These guys have done their level best, but before throwing Einstein on the bonfire, you would like to see an independent experiment,” said John Ellis, a CERN theorist who has published work on the speeds of the g...
