The future belongs to those who prepare for it, as scientists who petition federal agencies like NASA and the Department of Energy for research funds know all too well. The price of big-ticket instruments like a space telescope or particle accelerator can be as high as $10 billion.

And so this past June the physics community began to consider what it wants to do next, and why.

A newly discovered comet could be visible to the naked eye as it shoots past Earth and the Sun in the coming weeks for the first time in 50,000 years, astronomers have said.

A large-scale survey showed the latest ranking of the best universities in the world, according to the BBC and BGNES.

Universities in the United States dominate the ranking once again, with 7 of the first 10 higher education institutions located there. However, for the fourth consecutive year, the British University Oxford ranks first.

Nasa has been forced to confirm that there almost certainly isn't a long-lost civilisation on Mars, reported The Independent.

During a hearing in the US congress, high-ranking staff of the space agency were asked whether there might once have been people living on the red planet.

Imagine waking up after death and living out your old age, until you grew young enough to have a career, and hoped someday to go to college. This is what life might be like in the “mirror” universe, the exact opposite of ours. According to two teams of physicists, our universe may have a twin where time moves backward.

We might have come across some kind of list with the highest IQs per country, but have you ever wondered who were the people with the highest IQs in history? These are the 10 highest IQs ever recorded in history.
