In a thought experiment that demonstrates how science can be as fantastical as religion or magic, a mad scientist named Fergus Simpson from the University of Barcelona is publishing a paper in the journal arXiv that uses a mathematical approach to determine the population and body size of alien races. According to Live Science, who […]
The search for intelligent life has mostly focused on what we know life to be based on, such as looking for carbon, oxygen, water etc. But some theorists are taking up a new approach to break out of the box. One theory is that it’s possible an entire star system could be a macroscopic living […]
ANIMAL’s feature Game Plan asks game developers to share a bit about their process and some working images from the creation of a recent game.

NASA has approved an independent project that will allow a crowd-sourced message to be sent into space via the New Horizon’s space probe. When NASA’s New Horizons mission finishes studying Pluto next summer, the data will be streamed from Earth to the spacecraft to create a digital record. The New Horizons will then take with […]

Smoking Gun reports: A domestic dispute over space aliens escalated Saturday morning when a lingerie-clad New Mexico woman allegedly pointed a silver handgun at her boyfriend, a weapon she retrieved from her vagina, where it had been placed while the accused was performing a sex act, police […]
In 1961, Frank Drake had conceived an equation that could theoretically predict the likelihood of finding intelligent life on some of our more distant planets. While this equation can’t effectively solved for “x,” it helped shed light on exactly how many different factors are actually involved in the search for intelligent life. That was then. This is now.
