Scientists have presented a stunningly preserved leg of a dinosaur.
The limb, complete with skin, is just one of a series of remarkable finds emerging from the Tanis fossil site in the US State of North Dakota.

Amazing to think they walked the earth with us approximately 8,000 years ago!

Scientists just outside Chicago have found that the mass of a sub-atomic particle is not what it should be.
The measurement is the first conclusive experimental result that is at odds with one of the most important and successful theories of modern physics.
The team has found that the particle, known as a W boson, is more massive than the theories predicted.

Saw this Mike, but in the real world does it have any practical purposes.

It means our whole understanding of Physics has been wrong all along, and they can now develop an engine that can travel faster than light.

(Only joking about the new engine)

Any day now we will find the matter that will keep wormholes open

If proven true (although the article caveats two other studies that don't go as far) it's absolutely massive mate.

I'm just too thick to know why lol

I may be an 'old geezer' but I like to think I'm ok with technical stuff, internet etc but last night left me frustrated.

I was trying to get iTunes downloaded onto my iPhone. It didn't appear to want to come up on searches both on app store or google One link on google suggested I go to my app store......

The one good thing is that I now have 'remote' on my phone, so I can control what I play on my laptop from my phone, but it's not the same as playing what I have on my iPhone WITH my iPhone......

Haven't they stopped iTunes now ?

Who?

 

[astonion2]

Its alright for you youngsters, I am still trying to find the " any key" on my keyboard.

 

[Melon Donkey]

Who?

Apple because of streaming being the main thing now. I think you can access your own iTunes as in your library but interms of downloading and purchasing .I don't think future ios will support iTunes.

The first full-colour image from the new James Webb Space Telescope has been released - and it's a record-breaker.
