I’ve led with this title because I believe we shouldn’t be too quick in dismissing ancient mummified Alien’s and here’s why. The evidence that was put forward is holding up, depending on who you ask? Ancient origins of an unknown species of “creature or early human” was discovered.Heck it’s apparently an Extraterrestrial entity but what really is this? Is it even real…Table of contents It’s actually undergoing an investigative MRI scan in the above image so we will get an answer instead of everyone’s opinions on what this is.They’ve examined it with the MRI scan and found 3 egg’s inside…

Okay, I’ve never seen this before at all, the light is either bending around it or it’s emanating from it or within it. It’s definitely surrounded by a type of shield and it changes to every colour. There’s no time or date, place but that’s okay, think of how easy it would be to make one up? That’s not LEDs because they emmit light, like a torch and this light is acting like electricity and it’s almost enveloping the UFO within. Is this what whistleblowers have been mentioning and talking about for decades? A person comments on the video on…

A family was on holiday in Quebec, Canada in 2018 when on a fantastic cloudless day a UFO catches their eye and the rest of the trip was overshadowed by the UFO sighting. Filmed in 2018 over Quebec, Canada by a French speaking family with experts saying it’s not of this Earth. It’s being described as “not of this Earth” by expert’s with year’s worth of gathered knowledge and wisdom. Their collective opinion’s on this matter and carry weight. When some are saying it’s not of this Earth, we need to understand how near on impossible it normally takes to…

This is definitely going to be either dismissed as to good to be true and people will say it’s a Photoshop rendering or it’s accepted. So, now that people are presented with a UFO sighting video that contains a detailed, a very clear and high probability that it’s real UFO, let’s see what people think? If a Flying Saucer is filmed and the subsequent video comes up that shows a clear and really detailed craft which is exactly what the people have been asking to see, but will people accept it? I really hope that people accept at least that…

One Piece fans love the franchise for a variety of reasons, but two of the shonen juggernaut’s most notable aspects are its character creation and worldbuilding. This includes the real-life origin of Roronoa Zoro’s name. Zoro is a former bounty hunter and the first recruited member of Luffy’s crew, the Straw Hat Pirates. While it’s not explicitly stated, both One Piece fans and characters alike consider him the crew’s vice-captain. The name Roronoa Zoro comes from Francois l’Olonnais, a real-life French pirate in the 16th century. Zoro is the only Straw Hat whose name originates from an actual pirate — but the two have other…

Conqueror’s Haki, also known as the Haki of the Supreme King, is the rarest form of Haki that only a few people in the world of One Piece are born with. Unlike the other two Haki types, Conqueror’s Haki can’t be learned through training and is only possessed by those who are born with the spirit of a king. Conqueror’s Haki is known to allow a user to assert their willpower over others, knocking out the weaker ones in the process. In addition to this, those who are extremely proficient with the technique are able to coat their attacks with the rare…

One Piece is a series known for its meticulous, interconnected storytelling, but according to creator Eiichiro Oda, some of its most memorable moments weren’t planned at all. In a recent tweet quoting one of Oda’s interviews, the mangaka confessed that despite what many fans believe, some key plot points weren’t planned in advance at all, but were instead retconned later down the line. Some of the most notable examples the post cites include major reveals about characters’ intentions and origins, like Ace being Pirate King Gol D. Roger’s son, or Rob Lucci being a villain. There are also examples of Oda turning…

We’re lucky to have a neighbour like Venus, even though it’s totally inhospitable, wildly different from the other rocky planets, and difficult to study. Its thick atmosphere obscures its surface, and only powerful radar can penetrate it. Its extreme atmospheric pressure and high temperatures are barriers to landers or rovers. It’s like having a mysterious exoplanet next door. We’ve been watching Venus with the naked eye for millennia and with telescopes for centuries. In many ways, it’s still shrouded in mystery. We’re in a similar predicament with exoplanets; only it’s their distance that shrouds them. Venus’ inhospitable nature means we…

The planet Mars is arguably the most extensively studied planetary body in the entire Solar System, which began with telescopic observations by Galileo Galilei in 1609, with such telescopic observations later being taken to the extreme by Percival Lowell in the late 19th century when he reported seeing what he believed were artificial canals made by an advanced intelligent race of Martians. But it wasn’t until the first close up image of Mars taken by NASA’s Mariner 4 in 1965 that we saw the Red Planet for what it really was: a cold and dead world with no water and no signs of life, whatsoever. Despite this,…

Stars are born in molecular clouds, massive clouds of hydrogen that can contain millions of stellar masses of material. But how do molecular clouds form? There are different theories and models of that process, but the cloud formation is difficult to observe. A new study is making some headway, and showing how the process occurs more rapidly than thought. Molecular clouds are an important part of the interstellar medium (ISM) and are embedded in atomic gas, the other main component of the ISM. The third component of the ISM is ionic gas, and all three play roles in star formation.…

To date, 5,250 extrasolar planets have been confirmed in 3,921 systems, with another 9,208 candidates awaiting confirmation. Of these, 195 planets have been identified as “terrestrial” (or “Earth-like“), meaning that they are similar in size, mass, and composition to Earth. Interestingly, many of these planets have been found orbiting within the circumsolar habitable zones (aka. “Goldilocks zone”) of M-type red dwarf stars. Examples include the closest exoplanet to the Solar System (Proxima b) and the seven-planet system of TRAPPIST-1. These discoveries have further fueled the debate of whether or not these planets could be “potentially-habitable,” with arguments emphasizing everything from tidal locking, flare activity, the presence of water,…

The average temperature of the universe is downright cold – right around 3 degrees above absolute zero. In order to measure the temperature deep space there must be a substance, because this is how we define temperature. The temperature of the room you’re sitting in right now is determined by the average motion of all the air molecules in the room. The more energy they have, the faster they fly around, and the higher the temperature. If you touch a really hot object, its atom and molecules are vibrating furiously, giving it a very high temperature. There isn’t a lot…

When is 50,000 light-years only a small distance? When three galaxies are that close to one another. At that range, they’re fiercely interacting. In the case of the three galaxies referred to as SDSSCGB 10189, they’re 50,000 light-years apart and growing closer as they merge into a single massive galaxy. Galaxy mergers aren’t exotic. The Hubble has caught many galaxies in the act of merging. Our own Milky Way galaxy is in on the game, as it slowly absorbs the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Another one of our neighbours, the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (SDSG), is also in the process of…

Astronomers have determined that so-called “leaky” galaxies may have responsible for triggering the last great transformational epoch in our universe, one which ionized the neutral interstellar gas. Billions of years ago our universe was a lot smaller and a lot hotter than it is today. At very early times it was so small and hot that it was in the state of a plasma, where electrons were separated from atomic nuclei. But when the universe was roughly 380,000 years old, it cooled to the point that electrons could recombine onto their nuclei, forming a soup of neutral atoms. However, observations of…

The NASA/European Space Agency (ESA)/Canadian Space Agency (CSA) James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mission continues to dazzle and amaze with every image it beams back to Earth, and a recent observation depicting not one, not two, but three images of the same galaxy has been no different, as they proudly tweeted on February 28, 2023. But how can JWST observe three images of the same object at once? This is done thanks to a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing, which happens when light is bent or warped around a massive celestial object that emits an enormous amount of gravity, most commonly a star like our Sun, but can also happen with…

The Seraphim have been giving the Straw Hat Pirates a lot of trouble ever since One Piece’s Egghead Arc started. Besides how tough they can be to fight, they’re constantly changing sides based on who has the highest authority. Currently, they’re working on the orders of a traitor Vegapunk to kill everyone. The Straw Hats could probably destroy the Seraphim if necessary, but they might not want to. Unlike most Pacifistas they’ve fought in the past, the Seraphim have sentience. Destroying them may come with the same implications as taking a life. How Human Are the Seraphim? At first, there were only subtle…

Shonen anime and manga – classic and modern alike – are well known for using many similar plot devices, tropes, personalities and characteristics. Some of these parallels are crystal clear, while other intriguing connections can quietly fly under the radar. Such is the case with One Piece and its famed protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy. With his happy-go-lucky nature, frequent obliviousness to common sense and strong desire to help others in need, Luffy is probably more comparable to Goku than any other Dragon Ball Z character. However, a surprising moment early in Eiichiro Oda’s story actually gave Luffy his own version of one of Vegeta’s…

Netflix’s live-action One Piece series is on its way, with the Straw Hats setting sail in 2023. Netflix has released its first poster for the adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s beloved manga, which has also been adapted into a popular anime series. With the One Piece creator’s involvement, the Netflix series is looking to be one of the first successful live-action adaptations of a high-selling manga. Oda’s long-running manga series began in 1997, with the anime adaptation airing only two years later in 1999. Both series are still going strong well over two decades later. Thus, it comes as a surprise that One Piece had not received some…
