Alien: Earth Episode 6, “The Fly,” provided the series’s worst and scariest moment, where horror was created not by brutality but by an accident! The show took its audience by surprise with Tootles (Isaac), a hybrid kid, and left the creator of the series, Noah Hawley, to justify why the scene was “not by design an evil creature.” Instead, the eerie scene was to emphasize the randomness of peril and vulnerability of so-called immortal hybrids. According to Decider, Hawley explains that, “I sat down and I wrote what is probably the most disturbing scene that people will see on on…

In a recent article published in Animal Sentience (the flagship journal for animal consciousness) by Bryce Huebner and myself, we argue that recent research on animal consciousness suffers from a line-drawing paradigm that seeks to draw a line in the sand of which animals are sentient and those that aren’t and can thus not be part of our moral community. The article is titled “Drawing the boundaries of animal sentience,” (hence the title of this post), and tries to replace this paradigm: Are bees conscious?

If an extraterrestrial intelligence were looking for signs of human communications, when and where should they look? In a new study, researchers at Penn State and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California analyzed when and where human deep space transmissions would be most detectable by an observer outside our solar system and suggest that the patterns they see could be used to guide our own search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). “Humans are predominantly communicating with the spacecraft and probes we have sent to study other planets like Mars,” said Pinchen Fan, graduate student in astronomy and astrophysics in the…

CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Researchers believe they discovered a new type of life form living in the human body that were previously misidentified as viruses.According to a new study from bioRxiv that has yet to be peer reviewed, researchers identified a new type of life form in the human body, which they called “Obelisks,” that appeared similar to viruses but with multiple key differences that make them a different type of organism.For starters, the Obelisks do not match any previously recognized virus, so if they are viruses they are brand new. The researchers said that it’s highly unlikely the Obelisks are…
