VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is a new ground-based gamma-ray observatory with an array of four 12m optical reflectors for gamma-ray astronomy in the GeV - TeV energy range . It consists of an array of imaging telescopes deployed such that they permit the maximum versatility and give the highest sensitivity […]
The 62M Yr bio-diversity cycle has been talked about for several years now. Using an exhaustive database of fossils created by Sepkoski, Muller and Rohde analyzed the fossil records and noticed the rise and fall in bio diversity every 62M yrs. This is what the graph looks like:
There is a claim that […]

It is a fascinating experiment. It attempts to count the number […]
