Exobiology: Pseudo-fossils could mislead the search for life forms on Mars; Gravitational waves would have made the Big Bang turbulent spacetime. The Moon contains enough oxygen to allow 8 billion people to breathe for 100,000 years

The United States, Europe, China, Russia, brutal missiles, the Moon. Add a touch of geopolitical tensions to it and weve got the perfect cocktail for a new space race. Are we right to believe this? And if so, who could be the winner?

When the brilliant Richard Feynman started the quantum computer revolution, he planned to use it to perform simulations of quantum systems that challenged analytical computations and numerical simulations on classical computers. Weve been seeing this dream come true for a few years and today it looks like a quantum computer, made by IBM, is about to unlock some of the secrets of the protons and neutrons that make up our bodies and stars.

Many geological structures formed through chemical reactions look like two drops of water like the fossils of microbes, animals, or fungi. Two researchers from the University of Edinburgh have warned of a dangerous source of confusion that requires that any new announcement of the discovery of extraterrestrial life be taken with extreme caution.

Spacetime is not a physical medium, but its dynamics are similar to the dynamics of fluids. Like them, it could have become turbulent, especially at the time of the Big Bang, when it was traversed by gravitational waves. Numerical simulations support the existence of this phenomenon, which appears to provide an alternative to the standard inflation scenario in primitive cosmology.

In the atmosphere of our moon, there is not enough oxygen to breathe. But researchers believe that the top layer of the satellites surface, made up of the famous regolith, could contain enough of this element necessary for human life to allow colonization. As long as you can extract it!
