Teleportation's Unfavorable Reality
In the 20th Century Fox film The Fly, a man prepares to teleport. Teleportation does, in fact, already exist. Einstein and possibly two of his colleagues, Podolsky and Rosen, proposed it in a 1935 paper.

Paralyzed patients can walk now with a 3D human spinal cord
Paralysis is defined as the lack of muscle function in a specific body area. It might be localized or generalized, partial or complete, temporary or permanent, and it can be localized or generalized. It is possible to experience paralysis in any region of your body at any point in your life. You will most likely not experience any discomfort in the affected locations if you have it.

Fourth Dimension—Spacetime
Our understanding of the universe did become a reality when we got an idea of length, width, and height. When we were done with these dimensions, we wanted more. We didn’t want to be stuck in the walls of the three-dimensional world. We spread the wings of our imagination, we searched for the thing that was responsible for changing the position of these dimensions. We looked for it in every direction, dimension to be precise. But didn’t find anything. We tried with calculations. Those calculations gave evidence of the presence of another dimension.

Is the Future among us?
"If you could have one superpower, what would it be?" As children, I remember multiple times my friends and I would list abilities that we wished we could have. The ability to fly, breath underwater, telekinesis and telepathy- we would list all of these abilities with the hope that someday they would magically appear. Now, it seems, that one of these abilities could become a reality and we don't have to undergo nuclear radiation or be bitten by a mutant spider to obtain them.

Spider-Man? Nah, Spider-Goat!
Nexia Biotechnologies began researching spider goats ten years ago, calling themselves BioSteel fibers. Initially, Lewis collaborated with a Canadian company that produced the first goats. Unfortunately, the company ran out of money and Lewis' team got into trouble. The company is transforming a former US Air Force base in upstate New York into a larger goat farm comprising connected laboratory facilities.

Will Human Head Transplant Ever Work?
Canavero has announced an 18-hour cadaver surgery in China and says it will soon continue to improve the process with brain donors. Many scientists are wondering if scientific progress is enough to allow Canavero to do such work in China, as it has been said. It is unlikely that the implant will be a cure, and it probably will not.

Can a cockroach survive a nuclear blast?
Keeping your home clean may provide some protection, but cockroach attacks can happen to anyone. The fact is that very few if any, people survived the nuclear holocaust, so it does not matter if you run out of time. Although humans, cockroaches, and other creatures may survive the first atomic bomb explosion, they will not survive “zero on the ground” and will likely not survive long.

Traveling into Black Hole
According to Jafferis, sending someone through Black Hole is not a problem, at least legally. Statistics based on the species of wormholes studied so far suggest that their use will be slower than just moving into space, says Jafferis. In addition, he said that very little is known about quantum gravity - the union of quantum physics and the ancient ideas of gravity - those unseen laws can completely block the flow of hyperspace. While the idea of moving interstellar space through black holes is possible, getting to the testing can be a challenge.

Is Time Travel Possible?
Everyone is currently running in the future, always moving forward at the same speed. Science says that humans can move about at a rate of one second per second, whether they want to or not. Hey, here is an ice breaker, time can change speed.

Is Universe Infinite?
Until we find or develop an intelligent extension scheme that we know physics can do, we just have the potential. The universe may exist forever, or it may be destroyed in a situation contrary to the Big Bang. However, current research indicates that the universe may be growing indefinitely.

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE (JWST)
One such invention is the James Webb Space Telescope, which which started its journey on 24th December last year. The launch date has been rescheduled multiple times due to inevitable events.

Are you scared of the Metaverse
You are not alone if you feel this way, I think everybody who is scared of the metaverse has already watched the movie “The Matrix” or something quite similar and that has really biased our thinking negatively against such ideas. I don’t think those movies go too far from reality but they tend to exaggerate things, quite frankly there is no telling what will happen if robots can think for themselves, if the metaverse becomes a reality or even if aliens come down to earth, all we can do is speculate based on previous information, except for the fact that we don’t have previous information about these. All what we can do now are inferences and speculations while tip-toeing into everything we do, without even mentioning how divided the scientific community is on such issues, some think AI is useful while others think its going to lead to our demise, some think there are no aliens out there while others feel like there are aliens out there just too evolved for us to see.
