Archaeologists have ultimately come to a conclusion and on Sunday announced that the 80 skeletons that they have dug out from under the city of York, northern England since 2003 were the remains of gladiators and the place is believed to be the ‘unique’ cemetery of the ancient gladiators around 1,800 years ago.
Scientists say juggling e-mail, phone calls and other incoming information can change how people think and behave. They say our ability to focus is being undermined by bursts of information.
These play to a primitive impulse to respond to immediate opportunities and threats. The stimulation provokes excitement — a dopamine squirt — that researchers say can be addictive. In its absence, people feel bored.
Somewhere between 7,500-4,000 years ago, a meteorite fragmented over Estonia’s Saaremaa island. The meteorite hit with a force comparable to Hiroshima and left nine impact craters, including the 110-meter Kaali crater. Locals worshiped this hole as holy.
“Of the thousands of patients I’ve seen, I’ve never had someone come in complaining of sexsomnia, but I have always believed it’s a bona fide disorder,” Shives said. “It’s a form of sleep walking. When people are sleep walking, they may do any rote or instinctual behavior. That can include walking, eating, driving and sexual activity.”
NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day today is a cosmic cloud called Thor’s Helmet, for obvious reasons.
Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor’s Helmet is about 30 light-years across. In fact, the helmet is actually more like an interstellar bubble, blown as a fast wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble’s center sweeps through a surrounding molecular cloud. Known as a Wolf-Rayet star, the central star is an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova stage of evolution. Cataloged as NGC 2359, the nebula is located about 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Canis Major.
