For years, there has been an ongoing controversy about chemtrails. Are chemicals being sprayed into the upper atmosphere or not? Whatever you believe about what’s happening behind the scenes, a number of public figures are proposing that massive amounts of chemicals be released into the upper atmosphere in order to cool the planet down. According to Scienceinsider, for example, Bill Gates has been funding research into methods of altering the stratosphere to reflect more solar energy, using chemical aerosols to absorb carbon dioxide and spraying water upward from the oceans to make  over-ocean clouds a brighter white so that they will reflect sunlight back out into space more efficiently.read more

Astronomers have identified a star system just 22 light years from Earth with three planets that could potentially harbor life. The Gliese star system is easy to locate in the constellation Scorpius. The two main stars, Gliese 667A and B, are visible to the naked eye, but the one with the planets, Gliese 667C, requires a telescope to see. Gliese 667C has 7 planets, and 3 of them are in its habitable zone, which is the region around the star where temperatures would not be too high or too low for life to form, and where water would be a liquid. Earth is near the center of the sun’s habitable zone, and Venus and Mars are at its extremes.

Scientists have discovered that one of the primary things that has made us human is a surprising one: our ability to throw.

Researcher Neil T. Roach proposes that this ability first evolved nearly 2 million years ago to aid in hunting. Humans are unique in their throwing ability, even when compared to our chimpanzee cousins.

He says, "Chimpanzees are incredibly strong and athletic, yet adult male chimps can only throw about 20 miles per hour–one-third the speed of a 12-year-old little league pitcher." (Throwing sports, like baseball, are literally in our genes.)
