VIDEO: the Earth, 100 Million years from now

VIVAnews -land on Earth is not as such as we see today. The continents that exist in it formed when the earth plate plates on the move. They solve themselves and also mutual collided during a very long time.

According to the paleogeograf, approximately 3.1 billion years ago, the Earth was once there is one giant continent or supercontinent called Vaalbara. The continent is split approximately 2.8 billion years ago and formed Kenorland, the other giant continent.

Due to the movement of tectonic plates in the crust, the continents that's constantly moving and changing shape. Pangaea, the supercontinent known itself newly formed about 300 million years ago.


Pangea himself later broke out about 100 million years later to form the continents which became the origin of the continents as we see today.

Here's a video showing what the flesh of the Earth for 600 million last year and what will happen with Earth in 100 million years into the future. (Source: Ron Blakey, Professor of Geology, Northern Arizona University/YouTube)

Astronomers Find Alien Planet much like Earth in 86

VIVAnews -search for signs of alien life on Earth began similar planet of 86. The Mission of the search is done it is part of the project SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) which launched the mid-1980s.

The search is made possible with the help of the Green Bank Telescope, a giant-sized radio telescope mounted in a remote area in West Virginia, United States.

A giant parabolic would face to every 86 planet filtered total 1235 potentially save the lives of the planet, which is identified by the Kepler Space Telescope courtesy of NASA. Each planet is observed for 24 hours to get its data.

"We cannot ensure that all the stars that are found have a planetary system that can be populated, but the stars is the best place to find life on another space," said Andrew Siemion, researchers from the University of California at Berkeley, as quoted from Cosmosmagazine, May 16, 2011.

Last month, the SETI Institute announced that they would close their important efforts in the search for alien-i.e. a project worth 50 million US dollars, consisting of 42 parabolic telescope known as the Allen Telescope Array-due to lack of funds amounting to 5 million US dollars.

With the suspension of the parabola ATA, astronomers hope that the Green Bank Telescope advanced was encountered when the storm occurred in 1988 and will provide specific information about a planet that can potentially support life.

Green Bank telescope surface measuring 100 times 110 meters to record the data up to almost 1 GB per second. A 7.7 million pounds of telescopes which began operating in 2000 it was a project developed by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.

And Werthimer, physicist who is also involved in the study mentions, it chose the planets which have specific temperature between 0 to 100 degrees Celsius. The reason is because the planet experience is more potentially save a life.

Werthimer himself has led the project SETI was already 3 decades of Puerto Rico, where the Arecibo radio telescope, the largest in the world are. Nevertheless, Werthimer said, the project was not able to observe the sky North of which is the same as observed by telescope Green Bank.

"With Arecibo, our focus is monitoring the star similar to our Sun. The expectation is they have the planet around which emits the signal intelligence, "said Werthimer. "Nevertheless, we have never had a list of the planet like this before," he said.

Green Bank Telescope, said Werthimer, able to scan the frequency range up to 300 times the ability of Arecibo. That is, in one day he can collect the data with the same amount by the Arecibo within one year.

Researchers estimate, this will likely search project takes one year. In its implementation, the project will also be assisted by about 1 million people-based astronomer incorporated in SETI@home who helped process data obtained using their personal computers.

What If An Earth Took A Large Asteroid

VIVAnews -what would happen if a giant asteroid is not hit our planet and destroy the dinosaurs? This question has been clear since a long time and now have started to appear the answer.

As known, there are many factors cause of musnahnya dinosaur from the surface of the Earth's surface. However, echo the death knell for the largest animal ever to live it was the arrival of asteroid-sized about 9.6 kilometers.

A giant Asteroid were to fall in the area that became the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, about 65 million years ago. As a result of the collision of the asteroid with the Earth, in the region there are gaping holes that is now known as Chicxulub crater measuring width of more than 180 kilometers.

Shortly after the asteroid struck the Earth hit by mega-tsunami, fires that spread to the entire planet as well as throw dust and particles that are very much into the sky, which resulted in the tertutupnya the Sun for several years and caused global cooling that causes musnahnya dinosaurs and more than 70 percent of other species of living beings.

"If the meteor that does not hit the Earth, and assuming that no other instances of mass destruction, life on this planet is likely still ruled by dinosaurs as well as 160 million years before the musnahnya animals," said Damian Nance, Professor of geoscience of Ohio University, as cited from Life's Little Mysteries, May 14, 2011.

Nance mentions, if dinosaurs are not extinct, primates like us probably will not live. Mammals alone could breed along with breeding dinoasaurus. However, they only occupy a particular ecological zones, and generally narrow grows more or less only of rats at this time.

"Mammals can appear and breed extensively after the plant-eating dinosaur that finally makes the destroyed dinosaur carnivore lost a source of food," said Nance.

The researchers speculated, the smart is also likely to dinosauroid evolved along with the humans. Speculation is based on the relatively large size of the brain of the trodontid species, is found later, which is a similar bird predators.

As known, the dinosaur who managed to survive to the present, with a bird, it's pretty smart. But not smart enough to remain the master of life on Earth.

VIDEO: Comparison of Earth and Titan

VIVAnews -despite the name and size that is more or less the same, Lake Ontario in the North American continent, planet Earth have a difference with Lake Ontario Lacus in Titan, a moon of planet Jupiter.


If Ontario holds water, Ontario Lacus size by 15 thousand square kilometers — slightly smaller than Lake Ontario-hold methana, ethana, and propane.

Lake Ontario also invites many tourists who want to bask warm sunshine, while Lake Ontario Lacus, in relation to the distance is about 10 times farther from the Sun, has a very cold temperatures, i.e. around minus 148 degrees Celsius.

Interestingly, both Ontario Lacus and Ontario have in common although the two lakes separated by a distance of about 1.2 billion kilometers. The equation is the height of the surface of the liquid on both Lake changed in line with the changing of the seasons.

Satellite monitoring of Cassini, in a period between June 2005 to July 2009, the Ontario Lacus have subsided up to 9.6 kilometers. Expected, the depth of the Lake has also been reduced to 1 metre per year. The following games: of Ontario, the Lake as far as 1.2 billion MILES from Earth. (Source: NASA/JPL)

UN: 2100, the number of Humans on Earth 10.1 billion

VIVAnews -at the end of 2007, the UN announced that the population of humans on planet Earth has reached a figure of around 6.7 billion people. From the figures of about 7 billion people in this year, the UNITED NATIONS predicts that world population will reach 10.1 billion.

According to the official UNITED NATIONS report entitled 2010 Revision of World Population Prospect, most of the surge in population donated by countries that its citizens was fond of giving birth. As such there are 39 countries in Africa, 9 in Asia, 6 in Oceania, and 4 in Latin America.

"Between 2011 and 2100, the average growth rate in the countries that will increase the fertile triples," call the UN report, as quoted DailyGalaxy, from May 6, 2011. "The number rose from 1.2 billion to 4.2 billion," call of the UNITED NATIONS.

In that same period, the rate of population growth in countries that the level of kesuburannya ' average ' only reached 2.6 percent, up from 2.8 billion to 3.5 billion.

However, the population in developed countries, low levels of fertility of its citizens were down 20 percent. The population has now reached 2.9 billion will be left at 2.4 billion by 2100.

In addition, the UN estimated that, globally, the level of life expectancy (life expectancy) human beings is also increasing. From the age of 68 years in 2005 to 2011, in the year 2095 and 2100, the average human life until the age of 81 years.

More detail, in countries with high fertility rate, life expectancy of its citizens reached 77 years.

In countries with high fertility, life expectancy reached 82. As for in countries with low fertility, in the year 2095-2100, humans there on average able to survive to the age of 86 years.

However, specifically on the report, the United Nations does not take into account the number of population or life expectancy a result of an increase in genetic technology, nanomedis, an increase in human intelligence and other factors or due to population reduction opportunities of various other risks such as war or outbreaks of communicable diseases.

Evidence of early life on Earth in the Moon

VIVAnews -find out how life began on the planet Earth is one of the main targets of science. Some researchers have a new theory of the origin of the United Kingdom. They believe the key to figure out the mystery of early life forms on earth that are on the moon.

The researchers mention, rocks that come from the planet Earth was thrown to the month when the asteroids to bombard the Earth and the inner planets (planet closest to the Sun).

As the informed, about 4 billion years ago, the meteor phenomenon occurs is called the Late Heavy Bombardment. When it is, the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are bombarded by thousands of asteroids and meteorites that hit the surface of the planet.

The phenomenon is so horrible that lasted for 300 million years, it has the effect of diverse on the planet-planet when it was young, one of which was pelontaran billions of tons of material from the surface of the planet into space.

In the case of Earth, most of the material that is likely to successfully arrive on the moon. This hypothesis is plausible, given at the South Pole of the Earth ever encountered the meteorite which proved to be derived from the planet Mars.

To that end, it is entirely possible to assume that the inner planets of the material Exchange when the Late Heavy Bombardment. Similarly with the Earth and the moon are also exchanged material are swapped.

According to a number of experts from the University of London Birkbeck College's School of Earth Sciences, material belonging to the Earth that has landed on the Moon by seamlessly enabling biological signs remained good.

Quoted from Softpedia, may 5, 2011, the research team, chaired by Ian Crawford and Emily Baldwin says, the signs of biology it precisely will not be able to survive on earth because of the magnitude of the impact of the collision of a meteoroid, erosion due to wind and rain, volcanic activity, earthquakes, and mastery of habitat by other species of living beings.

In a number of computer simulations, a team of researchers showed the lump of material to bounce towards the Moon from the collision of the asteroid on the Earth will land on the surface of the moon with a speed of 2.5 kilometers per second or less. With temperatures that exist on the Moon, no part of materials that are approaching the peak pressure that results in a material that melts.

Unfortunately, this new theory has yet to be scientifically until the humans back to go to the Moon, to collect samples of rocks from a number of locations, and brought back to Earth to be analyzed in depth. However, such research will give us the knowledge of the remarkable history of life on planet Earth. (adi)

Asteroid lose unbeaten status against the Earth Since 250 thousand years

VIVAnews -Apostolos Christou and David Asher, Armagh Observatory, astronomers from North of Ireland stated that the asteroid some time ago, it has followed the Earth with their move themselves around the Sun for at least 250 thousand last year.

Asteroid named 2010 So16 which has a diameter of several hundred metres it is also the largest asteroid to be around the Earth. Expected, the asteroid has a close relationship with the origins of the planet Earth.

According to astronomers, it will continue to monitor the movement of the Earth at least for 100 thousand to millions of years into the future. These findings are set out in its own journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

"The average distance of this asteroid to the Sun is identical to the distance of Earth to the Sun," said Christou, as quoted Cosmosmagazine, from Monday 11 April 2011. "Interestingly, the orbit of the asteroid is also very similar to Earth's orbit," he said.

However, the line taken this asteroid not similar to the Earth. In his travels around the Sun, he made the line shaped like a Horseshoe.

"Asteroid 2010 So16 takes 175 years to complete the journey from the tip of one to the other end on the Horseshoe," said Christou.




This Asteroid, Christou continued, slowed down when entering orbit because the farther from the Sun than the Earth. "When the speed of the asteroid were balanced with the speed of the Earth, the earth does not withdraw it," he said. "Not her asteroid by the gravity of the Earth make the asteroid to be closer to the Sun and it makes the additional speed So16 got."

Currently, the asteroid was at one point that is closest to Earth. Estimated, these asteroids can be seen in the decades ahead. (art)
