Parcial Vaccines Created For Ebola!

What this vaccine (and all vaccines) do is allow the body to fight an invader that it would normally not recognize as being one, one the immune system can spot…

The video here is of Orion’s capsule entering earth’s atmosphere, it was recorded in its small window and for those afraid of heights look away!

The video records around 10 minutes of the re-entry of the spacecraft, at the start the craft is falling at the 20 thousand miles per hour mark on the Kármán line – which is the last point of the earth’s atmosphere before you hit the vacuum. However it is still thick enough with partials to heat the ship up to thousands of degrees.

What you can see it the super-heated plasma being absorbed by the ships outer hull, as the ship comes into back to earth, the different colours you see is the plasma getting hotter (around 2,200 Celsius or 4000 Fahrenheit), until the drag of the atmosphere and the energy being lost by friction slows the re-entry to hypersonic speeds (around mark 5 and above) which are 1701.45 mph +.

How the LCD TV Works?!

  Unique qualities of the device

  This type of TV is lighter and thinner than CRT TVs of the same display size, and much like plasma can be made to a large size and very small size. This is where its use originally stemmed from as it can be made to be the smallest size of operational TV, as this technology is used in mobile electronic devices such as phones and calculators. They have a large…

Two new particles discovered at LHC

The LHC has discovered two new subatomic particles known as Xi_b’-  (ZAI-bee-minus )and Xi_b*( ZAI-bee-star-minus). These particles where predicted to have existed but never have until now, as they were observed by CERN’s LCH team.

These particles already have 6 times the mass of a proton and according to CERN this discovery can point us towards a new class of physics which is beyond what we know.
