Science / 2 minutes of reading / February 23, 2018 / By HDclump

Quasars are the brightest and most powerful objects in our universe, and though they have shaped the cosmos, they might ultimately destroy everything that exists. Quasar A quasar (also quasi-stellar object or QSO) is an active galactic nucleus of very high luminosity. A quasar consists of a super massive black hole surrounded by an orbiting accretion disk of gas. As gas in the accretion disk falls toward the black hole, energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

Can science show that terrible forces of nature were to blame – even driving people to cannibalism? Clues come from the remote deserts of southern Egypt, the glaciers of Iceland and a dramatic and unique archaeological find in the Nile delta.

Art / 3 minutes of reading / February 22, 2018 / By HDclump

Alastair Sooke takes an in-depth look at the art of the Roman Empire. The Romans were brilliant engineers and soldiers, but what isn’t as well known is that they also gave us wonderful artistic treasures. Treasures of Ancient Rome part 1 In this three-part series, Alastair Sooke argues that the old-fashioned view that the Romans didn’t do art is nonsense. He traces how the Romans during the Republic went from being art thieves and copycats to pioneering a new artistic style – warts ‘n’ all realism. Roman portraits reveal what the great names from history, men like Julius
