Healthncare.info That diagnostic consensus has been the accepted one for decades, but now Toby Pillinger, a Doctor and Clinical Researcher at King’s College in London, and a team of colleagues has completed a study that alleges that there are correlations between the disease and physical changes in the body.

We have all heard the expression, ‘He/She thinks they are the center of the universe.’ Western Civilization’s infatuation with the cosmos began with the belief that our collective terra firma was the focal point of a geocentric solar system. MaxPixel It seems a part of human nature to view ourselves at the center of universal existence but are we the center of the cosmos? Is there even a true center?

Astronomers and other scientists focused on finding a habitable ’earth-like’ exoplanet in the cosmos have many requirements that have to be met before they seriously zero in on a candidate. One of these requirements is that the planet have a sizable iron core that would lend itself to the creation and maintenance of a magnetosphere. NASA In February of 2017, European astronomers went public with the news that they had discovered a seven-planet orbiting the nearby star TRAPPIST-1, a celestial object located 39.

With Kilauea continuing to rumble, residents there are filled with more uncertainty than not, and some are even beginning to wonder if life as as they knew it will ever be attainable again.

When 3D printing first appeared on the scene it was said by many scientists and economists that the process would spur a resurgence in ‘cottage industry’ entrepreneurship. While that prophecy has for the most part proven to be true, 3D printing has also been used by the ‘big boys’ to improve their operations. Take NASA for example. Popular Mechanics (PM) writes that the nation’s space agency has used a 3D printer to successfully produce a combustion chamber for a rocket engine.
