megangibson+FollowScientists Just Flipped Time—For RealTime travel isn’t just for sci-fi anymore! Physicists in NYC actually made a ‘time mirror’ that reverses waves—basically hitting undo on the universe. They used a wild strip of metal and zapped it, causing waves to flip backward in time. Meanwhile, neuroscientists say our brains might already do a version of this, replaying memories like a mental VHS. The past isn’t as locked in as we thought, and the future? Even weirder. Mind = blown. #TimeTravel #ScienceNews #MindBlown #Physics #Neuroscience #Science32Share
megangibson+FollowEarth’s Secret Continent Found?!Turns out, Earth’s been hiding a whole continent underwater this entire time! Scientists just confirmed Zealandia—a massive landmass nearly twice the size of India—lurking beneath the South Pacific. Only about 5% peeks above water (hello, New Zealand!). It broke off from ancient supercontinents and slowly sank, but new rock and magnetic data finally prove it’s a legit continent. Wild to think there’s still so much of our planet left to discover! #Zealandia #HiddenContinent #EarthScience #Geology #MindBlown #Science18338Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowJupiter Was Once a Mega-Beast!Jupiter used to be so massive it could’ve swallowed 2,000 Earths—almost double its current size! Scientists just figured this out by studying two of its tiny moons and their weird orbits. Plus, its magnetic field was 50x stronger back then. Basically, baby Jupiter was the solar system’s heavyweight champ, and its wild early days helped shape everything we see today. Space glow-up, anyone? #Jupiter #SpaceFacts #ScienceNews #SolarSystem #MindBlown #Science31Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowRhododendron’s Secret Cannabinoids?!Turns out, rhododendron isn’t just a pretty face—scientists just found actual cannabinoids hiding in its leaves! Yep, the same kind of compounds found in cannabis. Researchers in Pakistan and the UK discovered two cannabinoids and three other bioactive goodies in this traditional medicine plant. No wonder it’s been used for pain and inflammation for ages. Who knew your garden could be packing such wild secrets? #ScienceNews #Cannabinoids #PlantPower #Rhododendron #MindBlown #Science319Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowAncient Claw Prints Just Changed EverythingImagine thinking you know when our earliest ancestors crawled onto land, only to find out we were off by 40 million years! Fossil hunters in Australia found claw prints that are now the oldest known evidence of land animals like reptiles—way older than scientists thought possible. Turns out, our amniote ancestors were already walking around during the Devonian period, surviving mass extinctions when most life didn’t. This discovery totally rewrites the timeline of life on Earth! #Evolution #ScienceNews #FossilFind #AncientHistory #MindBlown #Science00Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowGravity Might Work Totally Differently?!Turns out, everything we thought we knew about gravity could be wrong. Physicists just dropped a new theory that ditches the old rules and suggests gravity actually works through four connected parts, not just the classic space-time bending. The wild part? This model could finally make quantum physics and Einstein’s gravity play nice—no extra dimensions or sci-fi strings needed. It’s still early days, but this could totally change how we understand the universe. Mind = blown! #Physics #Gravity #ScienceNews #QuantumMechanics #MindBlown #Science124Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowPrehistoric Bears Were Total MonstersThink polar bears are huge? Meet Arctotherium angustidens—the prehistoric bear that made today’s giants look like teddy bears. This South American beast could weigh over 3,500 pounds and stand 11 feet tall! With no predators to challenge it, it basically ruled the continent. But when competition showed up, its massive size became a problem, and it eventually disappeared. Now, the biggest bears are just a fraction of that size. Wild, right? #PrehistoricAnimals #Bears #WildlifeHistory #NatureFacts #MindBlown #Science100Share

Melinda Gutierrez+FollowViking Moms Were Total BadassesTurns out, pregnancy in the Viking Age was way more intense than we thought. Think: pregnant women in helmets, wielding swords, and even unborn babies set up for revenge! New research shows pregnancy wasn’t just a private thing—it was political, dangerous, and even violent. Some moms were buried with weapons, while others weren’t buried at all. And get this: for enslaved women, pregnancy was seen as a flaw. Viking society was wild, and their views on pregnancy? Even wilder. #Vikings #History #WomensHistory #Archaeology #MindBlown #Health50Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowYour Brain Literally Changes During Your PeriodTurns out, your period isn’t just about cramps and cravings—your brain actually changes shape, too! Scientists tracked women’s brains across their cycles and found that hormone swings reshape both gray and white matter (the stuff that helps your brain send messages). Right before ovulation, your brain might even get better at transferring info. Wild, right? This could help explain why moods and mental sharpness can shift throughout the month. Science is finally catching up to what half the world already knows! #MenstrualCycle #BrainScience #WomensHealth #Hormones #MindBlown #Health10714Share
