From a potential cure to HIV to recent space discoveries, here are 16 of the most shocking recent discoveries. Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr 7. Parallel Universes- Yeah you heard that right. You could potentially have an evil twin running around causing mass hysteria in another world. Just kidding. The results of an experiment, which were conducted by quantum physicists at USCB, states that something could potentially exist in two states(universes) at the same time. This was found when they placed a small “paddle” the size of a human hair in a vacuum within a jar, which they then “plucked” the paddle and it proceeded to vibrate and stand still at the same time...I’ll let you decided on this one. 6. Homo Naledi More like Homo NAILED IT, get it? Because it’s a weird pronunciation but I NAILED it? No? Whatever. Anyways, the new human ancestor was discovered in September of 2015 by an expedition of archaeologists led by Lee Berger. There were more than 15,000 fossil pieces that are believed to be from a minimum of about 15 different individuals all found in the same South African cave and are thought to be an estimated 2,000,000 years old. http://www.iflscience.com/editors-blog/2015s-best-scientific-discoveries-and-achievements 5. Shape-Shifting Frog- So remember when you were a kid and you totally wanted shapeshifting powers? Don’t lie. Well, be jealous of this little guy because that is exactly what he can do. The “mutable rain frog”, found in Ecuador in 2015, can actually change the texture of its skin within a matter of moments from being spiny to completely smooth. 4. Neanderthal Cannibal Attack- The archaeologists who discovered this were probably not expecting to find the remains of a mass murder cannibal feast, just saying. Well, that’s exactly what happened in 2010, when archaeologists in Spain found the bones of three adult males and females, three teenagers, two younger children, and a baby. A BABY. The scientist ruled the attack was from hungry primitive neanderthals. 3. Another Mass Extinction Throughout history, there have been many mass extinctions, five to be exact, such as the asteroid that completely wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Though all of those were caused by naturally occurring phenomena, late last year, scientists have recently come to the conclusion that we are in the middle of an ongoing sixth mass extinction being caused solely by us humans. This coming from the same species that made a sandwich using two fried chicken breasts as buns...we are not made to last. 2. Liquid Water Found On Mars- Back in September of 2015, NASA scientist revealed a major breakthrough in the hunt for potential life on Mars by announcing that they had “discovered the flow of water across the planet’s surface from time to time”. The water reflects light waves that were seen through an imager by Lujendra Ojha, who first noticed the light streaks back in 2011. Not only did this spur an insane amount of memes about Mars being wet, but it also can’t help one wonder if life on Mars could one day be possible? 1. Evolving Microbes - Nowadays whenever most people get sick they usually just got to their doctor and get a prescription for an antibiotic, such as amoxicillin. Well, it’s been recently discovered that most patients are being prescribed certain medicines when they really don’t need and instead are helping the bacteria in their bodies evolve. The bacteria then becomes immune to the medication and in the distant future, most strains of bacteria will become resistant to all our modern medicines. So basically in the future, a case of the sniffles could potentially wipe us out, fantastic….
