The mysterious zones have the power to slow down seismic waves by up to 50 per cent, yet experts don’t know what they’re made of or what role they play.
These strange black holes (figuratively speaking) are located within the Earth’s lower mantle – near the core – and are known as ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs).
And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.
Here's a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.
You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a "total fabrication" when there's roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.
I only posted this in news. Not sure why you commented twice and both were basically saying the same thing.
Directly from the article
"To their astonishment, it was a 4 to 5-meter-deep structure offering clues to a settlement almost identical to the one in Soline. They also dug out several Neolithic artifacts such as flint blades, stone axes, and fragments of wood on this site."
I'm not personally saying that one building is a city but it's a start.
They never mention the university at Bradford, but speak of the university of Zadar, so I'm not really sure why you linked that article that is related but not the same.
Neutron star collisions create a strange, dense "soup" of quarks and gluons in the aftermath of the smashup that scientists are studying.
When neutron stars dance together, the grand smash finale they experience might create the densest known form of matter known in the Universe. It’s called “quark matter, ” a highly weird combo of liberated quarks and gluons. It’s unclear if the stuff existed in their cores before the end of their dance. However, in the wild aftermath a neutron-star merger, the strange conditions could free quarks and gluons from protons and neutrons. That lets them move around freely in the aftermath. So, researchers want to know how freely they move and what conditions might impede their motion (or flow).
The submerged Neolithic city most possibly belonged to the pre-historic remains of ancient Hvar civilization located in Croatia.

From Starbucks to local cafes, Petaluma’s reusable cup project aims to cut down on rampant plastic waste
Instead of the single-use paper or plastic cups that Gearhard would usually line up for the barista slinging espresso, he’s passing over shiny new reusable cups that bear the slogan “Sip, Return, Repeat”. Customers who need their lattes to go can take the purple cups with them, then return them to one of 60 bins scattered across downtown Petaluma when they’ve finished. Each cup comes with a trackable QR code to help monitor results.
Sneaky.
- Researchers have just found evidence of “dark electrons”—electrons you can’t see using spectroscopy—in solid materials.
- By analyzing the electrons in palladium diselenide, the team was able to find states that functionally cancel each other out, blocking the electrons in those “dark states” from view.
- The scientists believe this behavior is likely to be found across many other substances as well, and could help explain why some superconductors behave in unexpected ways.
THC brain aging reversal: New study reveals how low-dose THC can enhance cognitive function and reverse aging in the elderly. Read now!
Initially, THC boosted brain metabolism and synaptic protein levels, indicative of heightened cognitive processes. Subsequently, it shifted towards reducing metabolic activities in the body akin to the effects seen with caloric restriction or intensive exercise, known for their anti-aging benefits.
First case found in female mountain lion in Colorado last May
The American Veterinary Medical Association said symptoms to watch for include a staggering gait, the inability to retract claws, extreme sensitivity to touch, tremors, and seizures. The illness usually lasts for a few days to a few weeks, but can also linger for more than a year.
A serendipitous discovery at Stanford revealed the properties of a material that changes form when exposed to flame. The finding holds promise for a spray coating that could protect homes from fire over four times as long as current solutions.
The researchers also say that current fire-resisting gels dry out and become useless about 45 minutes after being applied. With their new material however, because the silica aerogel stays behind until it is washed away, the coating could be applied well in advance of an approaching wildfire while still providing protection when the flames arrive
The new microscope captures the fleeting motions of electrons with unprecedented precision, revealing the hidden dynamics of the subatomic world.
Their attosecond system involves a powerful laser split into two components: a fast electron pulse and two ultrashort light pulses. The first light pulse, called the pump pulse, energizes a sample, triggering electron movement or other rapid changes. The second pulse, known as the optical gating pulse, creates a brief window to generate a single attosecond electron pulse. The timing of this gating pulse determines the image resolution. By precisely synchronizing these pulses, researchers can control when the electron pulses probe the sample, allowing them to observe ultrafast atomic-level processes.

A new statewide policy will require all police departments in New Jersey to coordinate with mental health professionals when they're responding to a call for a barricaded person.
Magnetars could zap clouds of atomic hydrogen, producing focused microwave beams.
I remember the EPA inspections when I worked in pest control. They were basically a joke.
My current favorite search engine. Just pick one that's running out of your country or close to it. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.
I always find it interesting how they largely just seem to have switched dogmatic stances from some religion to atheism.
The real logical stance is "I do not know if this is true or not because it is unprovable".
They look down on true believers while being true believers in atheism themselves.
The other person who responded to me made a very all written post but it gets a core assumption completely wrong.
They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen. That's why they think GDP has anything to do with our ability to service debt. But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.
Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation. Spending and back stopping creation of money by private banks through the reserve system comes first. You can't destroy something you haven't created.
It's sad, really. Economists and politicians have blinded everyone with what I think of as "the money delusion".
It doesn't matter if the money can be "gathered up" to be spent on things we need. We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.
The national "debt" is a misnomer. That's the amount of dollars left in circulation that have not been destroyed through taxation, as well as the "dollars" that pay interest which we call bonds.
I'm glad to see at least a handful of other people who understand. Fight the good fight, fellow human.
This.
More people need to understand that the debt of a sovereign nation isn't analogous to that of a household.
Public sector debt is private sector surplus.
As someone with decision paralysis and executive dysfunction issues, this is true for me. I'm probably more than capable of using it for a daily driver but there are 5000 flavors and I will likely never be able to make a solid choice until one is obviously vastly superior in some way I need.
This pizza I make is my favorite pizza. Just some bacon under the cheese.
Gotta love the old "it's society at large's fault" even though they knowingly have let the world burn for their profit as well as suppressed innovation and information that could have helped alleviate our issues.
Oh and literally bribe our government to write laws to make them unaccountable.
Fuck these people. They are monsters.
If they want to have more rights than real people, they should have more accountability and responsibility, not less.
Acts 4:34-36
"For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need."
They mean this Christianity, right???
Trust me. That's all you really need to remember haha.
If you want to see good Spawn from that era, watch the cartoon. That was well done.
He was even, by far, the best thing about the terrible Spawn movie from the 90s. Absolutely love him
I never said nor implied anything about any other system. I spoke about capitalism.
Old School Runescape. Getting ready to try some raids with a couple friends.
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia. Friend bought me the DLC for my upcoming birthday because it's one of my favorite souls likes.
They haven't overthrown shit.
This is what capitalism is and what it always leads to: siphoning all power to the top small % of people.
Omg. I lost The Game.
I haven't lost The Game by thinking about The Game in at least 5 years.
OP is a diabolical genius.
Look at the zero fucks I give about whatever "private assets" will be stolen by Russia.
Maybe don't sink your money into that place when they're clearly our rival and enemy.
