I've spent the past two years traveling to 20 countries. While most of these countries — from the Maldives to France — were among the world's most popular, it was the off-the-beaten-path destinations that I enjoyed most.Last month, I traveled to Timor-Leste, a country located in the South Pacific. The country comprises the eastern part of Timor Island and two smaller islands. At 5,800 square miles, it's comparable in size to the Bahamas.It's also the 14th least-visited country in the world and the least-visited in Asia, according to a January report from CEOWorld magazine. Some 81,000 tourists visited Timor-Leste in…

Fisker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June after years of turmoil and unprofitable operations.…

YouTuber helps researchers solve the mystery of a 2,000-year-old ‘computer’

Last year, Graham Woan knew just how he wanted to spend his Christmas break: trying to solve the 2,200-year-old mystery of the oldest known "computer" in the world.Known as the Antikythera mechanism, the bronze device is a mechanical computer with interlocking gears. In the second century BCE, a user would have used its rings and evenly spaced holes to chart future celestial events, such as eclipses.But how many of those evenly spaced holes existed has been a mystery and holds the key to determining exactly how the computer functioned.YouTuber Chris Budiselic has long been fascinated by the mechanism and started…

Hippos can launch themselves airborne for split seconds at a time, surprising scientists

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models
Back in 1878, photographer Eadweard Muybridge helped solve a debate about how horses gallop.Using cutting-edge technology for the time, he captured a series of images that showed they simultaneously lift all four feet off the ground.It was something many had suspected of the graceful animal, and Muybridge's footage offered definitive proof. Nearly 150 years later, modern video footage has shown that hippos run in a similar way, and it's something no one expected.Like horses, hippos also get a bit of air when they trot. There's a split second when the quickest animals fully leave the ground.Researchers from the Royal Veterinary…

NASA says astronauts from Boeing’s Starliner could be in space for a couple more weeks even though their test flight was only supposed to last 8 days

The good news for Boeing's Starliner capsule is that it finally brought humans to low-earth orbit. The issue is that it hasn't gotten them down yet — and it may be a while before it does.The issues that resulted in astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams extending their stay at the International Space Station were the culmination of years of shortcomings that have delayed the Starliner, NPR reported on July 3. The spacecraft is leaking some of the helium that is part of its propulsion system, the outlet reported, and a minority of its thrusters experienced issues.In a telephonic press…
