COX’S BAZAR, Bangladesh — Thousands of angry and frustrated Rohingya refugees have marked the second anniversary of their exodus from Myanmar into Bangladesh by demanding their citizenship and other rights in the country they fled from.

If you want to send a message through a wormhole, you better make it brief. Under certain circumstances, a message could be passed through a theoretical wormhole connecting black holes in different universes, physicists have found in a new study. Unfortunately, their results show that only a tiny amount of information (measured in quantum bits, or qubits) could be exchanged.
All of the injured are expected to survive.

Around the world, humans communicate with each other using nearly 7,000 distinct languages. But despite how different languages like English and Chinese are for example, we all use the same basic anatomy to talk. Our lips, tongues and the bones inside our mouths allow humans to make the noises of language.

The street performer was only 10 years old. He put knives through his arms and walked on hot embers. By 14 he was dead. Someone dared him to jump from a roof. He did it, knowing it wouldn't hurt.The case of the Pakistani boy with a rare genetic disorder was described in 2006. He could feel warmth and cold and the texture of objects. But he never felt pain.

On September 12, 1895, a Nebraskan named Jessie Allan died of tuberculosis. Such deaths were a common occurrence at the turn of the 20th century, but Allan's case of consumption reportedly came from an unusual source. She was a librarian at the Omaha Public Library, and thanks to a common fear of the time, people worried that Allan's terminal illness may have come from a book.

Archaeologists have spotted an 8,000-year-old wooden platform in the waters off southern Great Britain.The mostly intact find sat in a larger archaeological site 35 feet below the water's surface. It represents a substantial increase in the amount of ancient worked wood found in the United Kingdom, and scientists hypothesize that it was a platform used to build ships.

Candace Croney joined the faculty at Purdue University in 2011, thinking her job would focus on the welfare of livestock and poultry in Indiana. With bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in animal sciences, her work until then had centered on sheep, goats, and horses. She'd even had the esteemed animal behaviorist Temple Grandin help shape her master's research project.

I will not explain here what a black hole is or how we that know black holes exist, for this you can watch my earlier video. Let me instead get right to black hole information loss. To understand the problem, you first need to know the mathematics that we use for our theories in physics. These theories all have two ingredients.

Mars is a very different world from ours. While evidence continues to mount that early Mars had lots of water, and possibly even oceans on its surface, it's been dry for at least a billion years.As the planet transitioned to a cold, arid world, chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide and perchlorate accumulated on its surface and subsurface. If any life exists on Mars today, it would have had to adapt to the presence of these biology-unfriendly compounds.
"We jumped onto the Higgins boats, and they brought us right on up to the shores because there were no docks for big ships," she said. "I felt very safe; maybe we were just too young to be frightened."

Researchers have uncovered the first direct evidence of resident microbes in Kidd Creek Mine, a 3-kilometer-deep copper and zinc mine in Ontario. The findings, published last month (July 18) in Geomicrobiology Journal, confirm previous work indicating that ancient, sulfate-rich water in the region could support what researchers call deep microbial life, and add to growing evidence that there's a vast biosphere thriving in the Earth's crust that has little or no interaction with the surface.
We get these letters at least once a week. I don’t always post them. Facebook has eliminated traffic to top conservative publishers since the 2016 election.

Covering psychology the past several years, I've grown used to reading about how classic, viral experiments in the field are failing in rigorous retests. It's often disappointing to read about: Many times the debunked ideas were, ultimately, about helping people become better versions of themselves.

Then her other cub stumbles into the frame and falls to the ground.The young cat doesn't have full control of its hind legs - as if a neurological disease, or even poisoning, is making the cub dangerously sick and vulnerable to attack.

It's been an iconic location since it first opened its doors in the winter of 1929. But the fashions and vibe of Bondi Icebergs have come a long way from the daggy swimming costumes of 1929.
