Eight-legged tardigrades are the ultimate doomsday survivors and can live 30 years without food or water

In the event of a cataclysmic doomsday scenario such as an asteroid strike or an exploding star, there’s only one creature on earth that even stands a chance at survival: the tardigrade. This eight-legged, microscopic animal can survive for up to 30 years without food or water, reports indicate, and can sustain extreme temperatures as […]

Doomsday theorist says planet Nibiru will destroy Earth before September 23rd… should we cancel Halloween?

A Christian astronomer has issued a dire warning that, based on all the evidence he’s compiled over the years – some of which he says he’s observed personally as it happened – the Earth (or at least sizable portions of it) is about to be destroyed by a mystery planet often referred to as Nibiru. […]

Humanity is one asteroid impact away from being wiped out

If a natural disaster such as a hurricane or a tornado is coming your way, it will inevitably cause a significant amount of damage, but at least you could have the chance to get out of harms way. But how would you evacuate in the event of a natural disaster from outer space, capable of […]

Astrophysicist warns humanity will eventually be wiped out by an asteroid strike… “just a matter of time”

Mankind’s days could already be numbered. According to a leading astrophysicist, it’s just a matter of time before an asteroid strikes the Earth and – gasp – wipe out the human race. It sounds like something that only happens in movies, but it’s a reality that we could soon face, especially since there are thousands […]

Beyond “grid down” – Solar flares can also disrupt railway signaling systems and underground conduit pipes

Solar flares may negatively impact the planet’s power grids, railway systems, and underground pipelines through a phenomenon called geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), a recent study found. These effects may disrupt food logistics, manufacturing, electronic transactions and internet functions, experts warn. To examine how solar storm-induced GICs affect the planet’s structures, scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) collaborated […]

Robots may have taken over alien civilizations, astrophysicist claims

If there is alien life out there, it might be anything but organic. According to one prominent astrophysicist, aliens could very well be machines. “My guess is that if we do detect an alien intelligence, it will be nothing like us. It will be some sort of electronic entity,” Lord Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal and […]

Asteroid impact would kill people by rupturing their internal organs from shock waves, new study concludes

What would happen if an asteroid slammed into the earth? Researchers from the University of Southampton concluded that the most devastating effects would be wind blasts and pressure shock waves. According to the researchers, “overpressure can rupture internal organs, while a wind blast dislocates bodies and objects to cause harm.” The estimated human death toll is […]

“Space weather” can cause cascading collapse across critical human civilization infrastructure, blocking rail transport, aviation, and food delivery

The European Commission’s Joint Research Center (JRC) warns that extreme space weather can damage critical infrastructure in the European Union (EU). In their new report, researchers at the JRC identified gaps found in current industry and science policies regarding the reduction of risks related to space weather and provided recommendations that would close these gaps.

Asteroid strike near New York City would kill 2.5 million people, reveals physics simulation based on NASA data

Last February, an immense asteroid, dubbed 2013K flew by Earth’s orbit. Researchers at InsuranceQuotes said the meteor — which measured 328 feet wide — could kill more than 2.5 million people if it crashed into a city like New York. This conclusion was made after researchers sifted through NASA’s database of more than 36,000 near-Earth encounters. Researchers […]
