DUBLIN (Reuters) - Scientists in Ireland may have found the country's most fertile male, with more than 3 million men worldwide among his offspring.
The scientists, from Trinity College Dublin, have discovered that as many as one in twelve Irish men could be descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages, a 5th-century warlord who was head of the most powerful dynasty in ancient Ireland.

Researchers say they have solved an 11-million-year-old puzzle: how a single feline-like ancestor in Asia spread throughout the world and developed into all modern cat species.
Cats are native to all continents except Australia and Antarctica, and the 37 wild and domestic species living today belong to one of the world's most successful carnivore families.

About 1.8 billion years ago, a meteorite or comet the size of Mount Everest slammed into what is now Canada.
According to James Mungall, a University of Toronto geologist, the impact turned part of the Earth's crust inside out and dusted the surface with a rare metal.

Hi, Arkadiusz!
I do not think, that the example resulted by you on the unification of even and odd numbers is similar to the unification of the quantum theory and the general theory of relativity. All is much more complex also a problem not in good mathematics, and in excellent physics. Now there is no lack of good mathematicians and physicists. Are now necessary ingenious physics of a level of Einstein. They are not present and it is the reason of crisis in physics.
The online Freedictionary has a page on Burkhard Heim - the subject of a recent article quoted on SOTT. Heim and his ideas have been discussed recently on many forums. In particular on a semi-private mailing list managed by Jack Sarfatti. In reply to a post by Genady Shipov (see here and here and here).
Dark energy the mysterious force that drives the acceleration of the universe changes over time, controversial new calculations suggest. If true, the work rules out Einstein's notion of a "cosmological constant" and suggests dark energy, which now repels space, once drew it together.

Astronomers have discovered that the North Star has a second smaller star next to it. Researchers at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore found the star, which they called Polaris Ab, by using the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope.
"With Hubble, we've pulled the North Star's companion out of the shadows and into the spotlight," said Howard Bond, a member of the research team.

AN EXTRAORDINARY "hyperspace" engine that could make interstellar space travel a reality by flying into other dimensions is being investigated by the United States government.
The hypothetical device, which has been outlined in principle but is based on a controversial theory about the fabric of the universe, could potentially allow a spacecraft to travel to Mars in three hours and journey to a star 11 light years away in just 80 days, according to a report in today's New Scientist magazine.

Comment: Comment: The Readers that would like to have some background may like to inspect the extracts from 1999 discussion on antigravity at http://www.merkabaweb.net/ANTIGRAVITY.txt Heim's theory is mentioned there. As you will see: Nothing new under the Sun ....
Comment: Question is, could such an even have happened more recently? Say... 12,000 years ago or so?
