An Incredible Discovery

Ancient ocean found beneath Chesapeake Bay: The remains of a salty ocean ancient enough for dinosaurs to have drowned in it have been found deep in the sediment under the Chesapeake Bay. The seawater — believed to be 100 to 150 million years old — was isolated, trapped a half-mile underground, and preserved with the help of an asteroid. The find suggests that the oceans of yore were twice as salty as today's.

One of most incredible discoveries ever

Egyptian mummies got meat dishes for eternity: Those ancient Egyptian mummifiers thought of everything, it seems. Even eternal snacks. Scientists have for the first time analyzed what they call "meat mummies," the cuts of meat stashed alongside the mummies themselves. One aspect of the preservation technique proved especially surprising.

Neutrinos discovery at the South Pole

Neutrinos discovery may mean 'new era for astronomy': Scientists at the South Pole have found visitors from outside our solar system, but instead of little green men, think "ghostly neutrino particles." Suffice to say that physicists are very excited — think "new era of astronomy" excited — because some of the universe's secrets might be in danger. One scientist thinks this is a Nobel prize in the making.

Should Marijuana Be a Medical Option?

In 1970, the US Congress placed marijuana in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act because they considered it to have "no accepted medical use." Since then, 23 of 50 US states and DC have legalized the medical use of marijuana. Proponents of medical marijuana argue that it can be a safe and effective treatment for the symptoms of cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, pain, glaucoma, epilepsy, and other conditions. They cite dozens of peer-reviewed studies, prominent medical organizations, major government reports, and the use of marijuana as medicine throughout world history. Opponents of medical marijuana argue that it is too dangerous to use, lacks FDA-approval, and that various legal drugs make marijuana use unnecessary. They say marijuana is addictive, leads to harder drug use, interferes with fertility, impairs driving ability, and injures the lungs, immune system, and brain. They say that medical marijuana is a front for drug legalization and recreational use.
