For centuries, scientists have been trying to understand the nature of the physical world and the laws that govern it. But a new study suggests that some of the most fundamental laws of quantum mechanics may need to be rethought. A team of researchers has identified 10 “thought laws” that could potentially redefine our understanding of the universe. These laws could help us to explain some of the most mysterious aspects of quantum physics, such as entanglement and the uncertainty principle.

Recent research has suggested that the combination of hybridization and polyploidization could play a major role in the evolution of species. Hybridization, or the mating of two different species, and polyploidization, or the increase in the number of chromosomes that occurs when two sets of chromosomes fuse, have long been seen as major forces in the evolution of new species. However, until recently, their exact role in the evolution of species was unclear.

Astronomers have made a remarkable observation about protostars – the earliest stage of a star’s life cycle. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, astronomers have discovered that protostars are able to ‘siphon’ off material from their surrounding environment in order to fuel their growth. This process, known as accretion, is the same mechanism that powers stars throughout their lives, and it appears to start much earlier than previously thought.
