Between 2002 and 2005, over 700 new species have been found in Anartica's Weddell Sea at depths between 2,500 and 20,000 feet.

At first glance, the Weddell Sea in northwest Antarctica may not appear to be teeming with life. Far below the surface there, though, an international team of scientists, together with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), reported finding at least 700 new species.

Great Britain's Ministry Of Defense has announced that they plan to release their UFO files to the public, seven weeks after France's space agency, CNES, opened its UFO files to the public, on March 22, 2007. The ministry has not decided when these files will be made public, but confirmed that it would be happening within the upcoming weeks. The files will include UFO sightings from civilians, pilots, and military personnel dating back to 1967.

Researchers belonging to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) say that the Arctic ice caps are melting at a rate much faster than that predicted by computer models previously reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and that the ice could be gone sometime near year 2020.

An electrical engineer has explored Einstein's Theories of Relativity in a new book. Einstein and the Emperor's-New-Clothes Syndrome: The Exposé of a Charlatan, by Robert L. Henderson, suggests that Einstein's relativity theories are incorrect. The book seeks to make the case that Einstein's irrational thinking gave birth to his theories of relativity, and that the world blindly accepted them.

Electric and hybrid cars and trucks are gaining popularity nowadays in the United States and throughout the European markets, but their potential buyers often don't have a sufficient background with their use, as they have with conventional cars.

Green Progress, a leading environmental news site, has released a new Carbon Footprint Calculator. By using this calculator, individuals can see their footprint based on the emissions produced from their home, garbage, recycling, driving, air travel, as well as eating habits. This simple to use calculator can show an estimate of their contribution to global warming, as well as offer tips on how to immediately reduce their impact.

Arid Ocean, has announced the launch of The Living Globe, an animated earth screen saver that lets users see the effects of global warming in real time. Users can also interactively change the global sea level and see how inhabited areas would be affected. Arid Ocean is a small company dedicated to real time 3D simulations of various aspects of the environment.

Handwriting Analysis makes the news frequently in the context of legal investigations such as forgery, kidnapping and suicide. However most people in society do not realize that the method in which their 'Capital I' is written indicates three important things about them. The first thing is how he feels about both of his parents. Next it indicates how he gets along with other men and women in his life today (business or personal). Finally it is indicative of how he feels about himself. To further illustrate this -- a single mother with a young son who is dating prospective step-fathers would like to know if he would be a good role model for her son. If the lower portion of the prospect's 'Capital I' is hooked (cursive) or creates an x-shape (printed) this indicates that he does not usually bond well with males and hasn't in the past. In this case he would be better suited as a step-father to a female child.

To ancient Mayans, the monstrous jungle caves known as Actun Tunichil Muknal represented the underworld.

But to a group of videographers and archaeologists who visited the caves in modern-day Belize last December, it was just another day at the office. They were there for a week to shoot the latest segment of the Inner Earth Film Project, a work in progress documenting the most spectacular, unusual and remote caves on Earth.

Johnny Goff sits at a bank of computers at the Horizon Wind Energy headquarters monitoring an expanse of wind farms from New York to Costa Rica. As a project engineer, Goff knows the math, science and problem solving skills needed to build wind turbines and keep them operating.
