Berezin’s idea is that, as civilizations evolve and grow, they tend to become more advanced technologically. At first, they are the ones leading the way, with the most sophisticated technology. But eventually, other civilizations catch up and overtake them. This phenomenon is called technological convergence. Berezin’s Theorem In a recent paper, Berezin proposed a new […]
In case you haven’t heard, there’s a meteorite about 164 feet wide headed our way and it has a one in 7,000 chance of hitting Earth on September 9th. So what does this mean for you? Basically, if you’re anywhere near the vicinity of Earth on September 9th at 5:00am (local time), you might want […]
If you’ve been wondering how life on Earth began, wonder no longer – thanks to the wonders of modern science, we now know that the moon has been receiving materials produced by life on Earth since the time when plants began to grow! This incredible discovery was made by a team of researchers from NASA’s […]
