LeBron James came up big when his team needed him the most yet again, in Game 4 of their first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies. James had the first 20-point, 20-rebound game of his playoff career to lead the Lakers to victory and when he made his way to the locker room afterward, his teammates greeted him with goat noises. This has become somewhat of a theme now, with his teammates starting to do this earlier this month when they made goat noises during his postgame interview. They were at it again after LeBron’s clutch game-winning performance against the Utah Jazz and this latest performance…

EGYPT’S Great Pyramid of Giza has long fascinated researchers who marvel over its incredible building accuracy, despite being constructed more than 4,500 years ago, but they may have identified a “flaw” in its structure.Believed to have been built for the Pharaoh Khufu over a 20-year period, the colossal monument still stands as the oldest and largest of the three ancient pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it is the only one still largely intact and is estimated to weigh approximately six million tonnes, from the 2.3 million blocks of limestone and granite used, some weighing as much…
In the last 260 million years, dinosaurs came and went, Pangea split into the continents and islands we see today, and humans have quickly and irreversibly changed the world we live in. Geologic activity on Earth appears to follow a 27.5-million-year cycle, giving the planet a “pulse,” according to a new study published in the journal Geoscience Frontiers. “Many geologists believe that geological events are random over time. But our study provides statistical evidence for a common cycle, suggesting that these geologic events are correlated and not random,” said Michael Rampino, a geologist and professor in New York University’s Department…
Our universe is woven together by a massive network of threads, made of a mysterious substance called dark matter, that creates a largely hidden superstructure known as the cosmic web. Now, scientists have produced the largest-ever maps of these gargantuan filaments, covering about an eighth of the entire night sky from Earth and encompassing more than 200 million galaxies that were observed over 758 nights at NOIRLab’s Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. These unprecedented views are the latest effort by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) collaboration, an international team made up of hundreds of scientists, which published its new findings…
