Archaeologists Find Oldest Evidence of Fire-Making
Archaeologists Find Oldest Evidence of Fire-Making
Neanderthals 400,000 years ago were striking flints to make fires, researchers have found.
 Some 400,000 years ago, in what is now eastern England, a group of Neanderthals used flint and pyrite to make fires by a watering hole — not just once, but time after time, over several generations.

Scientists Announce a Physical Warp Drive Is Now Possible. Seriously.
Humans are one step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.
 In a surprising paper, scientists say they’ve nailed down a physical model for a warp drive, which flies in the face of what we’ve long thought about the crazy concept of warp speed travel: that it requires exotic, negative forces.

Bitcoin Miners on the Run After Stealing $1.1 Billion in Electricity
Police are hunting about 14,000 illegal Bitcoin mining operations in Malaysia, which they say have stolen around $1.1 billion in electricity.
 Traditionally, thieves usually targeted some form of tangible good — whether it’s physical or digital currency, jewelry, or a car. But when it comes to mining cryptocurrencies, things get a little stranger. As Bloomberg reports, local law enforcement is hunting down about 14,000 illegal Bitcoin mining operations in Malaysia, which they say have stolen around $1.1 billion in electricity over the last five years.

 In 2002, evolutionary biologist Jenny Graves shared a controversial calculation. The human Y chromosome, she wrote two years later in a commentary, "is running out of time." The male-determining sex chromosome has lost 97 percent of its ancestral genes in the last 300 million years. If that rate continues, Graves calculated, it could vanish in several million more

 Living organisms usually read the DNA code in a very strict and predictable way. Every codon, which is a set of three nucleotides in a gene, corresponds to one specific amino acid that becomes part of a growing protein. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have now discovered that one type of microorganism can tolerate uncertainty in this process. Their work challenges a long-held belief that the genetic code must always be interpreted with complete precision.
