Scientists Spot Signs of 'Shadow' Universes by Rob Quinn

(NEWSER) – Scientists who believe our universe is just one of many have found a way to put their theory to the test. The "multiverse" theory holds that our universe is in a bubble of space and time drifting in a sea of other "bubble universes." Cosmologists say that the cosmic background radiation left over from the Big Bang shows tantalizing signs of collisions with other bubbles, the BBC reports. The European Space Agency's Planck space telescope is expected to provide data that will either back up the theory or refute it.

"The work represents an opportunity to test a theory that is truly mind-blowing: that we exist within a vast multiverse, where other universes are constantly popping into existence,” the lead researcher says. But even if the existence of bubble universes—where the laws of nature may be utterly different—is confirmed, it will be impossible to learn more about them, he warns. "It would be wonderful to be able to go outside our bubble, but it's not going to be possible," she says.

PLEASE SHARE - This amazing picture shows a large number of bags stacked and sealed. All but one of which shows the head of a dog unable to release the rest of his body from the bag. Packages are filled with dogs and cats ready to be placed alive in a crematorium. The savage massacre is taking place in Lysychansk (Ukraine), in order to rid the city of their presence during the European Football Championship in 2012.

7 Billion humans by Halloween!


On Halloween, the world's 7 billionth person will be born. While population growth has slowed in most regions around the world, the population still increases by nearly 80 million people every year. That's the equivalent of adding a new United States every four years, and it's putting strain of families, communities and governments around the world. With many people already starving and habitats being destroyed at a rapid rate for resources, food, and housing, should we keep on multiplying as we have been, or reduce pressure on our world, and each other, by cutting back? If each couple limits their family to two, our population will stabilize (or reduce if we we limit ourselves to one).

This beautiful clip, featuring the moving song "Mad World", was put together to honour the fabulous work of a worthy charity which works to help save and rehouse kittens and cats that have been dumped, ill-treated, or ended up in shelters where they were due to be killed. This is a charity really worth helping!
