The turn of the next millennium is still a long way off, but that hasn’t stopped scientists from simulating what future human evolution might look like when the year 3000 hits. The result? A computer simulation called “Mindy” features some pretty interesting changes that scientists say humanity could face if the current trends in technology continue.
Suffice it to say that if the model is right, the future of humanity leaves much to be desired. Many have been concerned for years about how spending hours working at a desk, hunched over a keyboard, is going to affect humans in the long...

This is what humans might evolve to look like in the year 3000

NASA was reporting late Friday that an asteroid the size of an airplane traveling at an incomprehensible speed is headed Earth's direction, though it is unlikely to make contact, scientists said. The asteroid, named 2024 NB2, will get as close as 2,390,000 miles from Earth as it passes through the...

Primary school geography paints such a neat picture of the world.It tells us, for example, that there are seven continents on Earth, but the truth is far more complex.Researchers are constantly encountering lost landmasses that constitute important pieces in the puzzle of our planet’s geological past.Now, a whole new continent has been found lurking beneath the icy waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean.The discovery was made around the Davis Strait, a large stretch of water located between Canada’s Baffin Island and Greenland.The strait was formed millions of years ago when the tectonic plates between the two islands shifted, reconfiguring the...

How would you react if you saw something deep below the surface of the ocean that you absolutely could not explain.That's the situation that researchers exploring the sea bed off the coast of Alaska found themselves in while operating a NOAA Ocean Exploration underwater craft.What were they mystified by? A single golden orb.Footage shows the object perfectly visible on the sea bed, but the vehicle was actually around two miles below the surface – so deep that light usually cannot penetrate.The bizarre orb was around 10 centimetres wide and was attached to a rock on its own, and scientists really...

An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

Ozone can be an agent of good or harm, depending on where you find it in the atmosphere. Way up in the stratosphere, the colorless gas shields the Earth from the sun's harsh ultraviolet rays. But closer to the ground, ozone is a harmful air pollutant that can trigger chronic health problems including chest pain, difficulty breathing, and impaired lung function.

NASA’s Curiosity rover made a “mind-blowing” discovery on Mars — yellowish-green crystals of pure sulfur, never before seen on Earth’s mysterious red neighbor, according to scientists.

The literal ground-breaking find was made after the one-ton Curiosity drove over a pile of rocks and cracked one open while probing the deep and winding Gediz Vallis channel, believed to have been formed by water 3 billion years ago.

“I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory [JPL] in Pasadena, California, told CNN. “I have to...
