The Dragon cargo ship made it back home on the same day NASA launched the InShight Mars lander, after its return to Earth was delayed for three days.
After a month of preparation, SpaceX’s unmanned Dragon capsule has finally returned to Earth on May 5, safely delivering its precious cargo, Space.com reports.

Does Mystery of Quantum Physics Prove God Exists?
Posted by Philip Raymond in categories: cosmology, general relativity, particle physics, philosophy, quantum physics, science
Ironically, my more popular posts are ones furthest from my passion and core interests. They are larks—never intended to go viral. This is about one of them…
Apart from family, I typically steer clear of religious topics. I identify with a mainstream religion, but it is completely beside the purpose of Lifeboat Foundation, and it is a personal affair.[1]
Yet, here we discuss a religious topic, after all. Let’s get started…

Dr. Josh Mitteldorf – Are we on the verge of major breakthroughs in anti-aging science?
Posted by Steve Hill in categories: life extension, science
Today we bring you an interview with author and researcher Dr. Josh Mitteldorf who runs the aging research blog Aging Matters.
Dr. Josh Mitteldorf is an evolutionary biologist and a long-time contributor to the growing field of aging science. His work in this field has focused on theories of aging. He asks the basic question: why do we age and die? This can seem like a silly question to people encountering it for the first time because most of us would quickly respond, “Because that’s just how it is; all creatures age and die eventually as their bodies wear out.”
Essentially, Josh is saying, “Not so fast. In fact, a lot of creatures don’t age and die. Humans, as well as most other animals that do age and die, are programmed to do so. So, humans are programmed to die in much the same way that salmon are programmed to die after spawning.”

A final dash across the United States: Updates from the 2018 March for Science
Posted by Derick Lee in category: science
The March for Science celebrated its anniversary today. And while the turnout around the world was significantly smaller than last year, supporters haven’t lost any of their energy.
The crowds were much smaller for the second March for Science, but the concerns may have been even more intense.

Some People Are Their Own Identical Twins, And The Science Behind That Is Fascinating
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, science
Take any two cells from your body and there’s a good chance their genetic sequences will be a match. That is, unless you happen to have what’s referred to in the medical literature as a ‘tetragametic chimerism’ – a condition that causes separate fertilised embryos to merge into a single body.
Once thought to be rare among humans, there’s good reason to suspect we might be seeing a lot more of it in the future.
The truth is, nobody is really certain how many humans have cells in their body that once belonged to a sibling.

Science Is Getting Closer to Understanding What Goes on Inside The Mind When We Dream
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: neuroscience, science
Dreams are so strange and carry so much significance to us that we often feel the need to tell people about our nocturnal adventures, sometimes at tedious length.
But if you understand what goes on inside the brain as dreams take their course, they start to make a lot more sense. And dreams are much more important than you might think.
Here are some common questions answered about the nighttime hallucinations we call dreams.
