Physicists Just Came Up With a Mathematical Model for a Viable Time Machine
Physicists have come up with what they claim is a mathematical model of a theoretical "time machine" - a box that can move backwards and forwards through time and space. The trick, they say, is to use the curvature of space-time in the Universe to bend time…

We Just Got More New Evidence That Parkinson's Starts in the Gut - Not the Brain
Scientists have found more new evidence that Parkinson's could start in the gut before spreading to the brain, observing lower rates of the disease in patients who had undergone a procedure called a truncal vagotomy. The operation removes sections of the…
