Early Predictions of the Internet Date Back to 19th Century #Sci-Fi
Science fiction writers are professional future-dreamers, imagining worlds far beyond their own. With technology advancing at astronomical rates, real life feels more and more like sci-fi every day (for better or worse). So it’s fun to look back at those writers who, decades and even centuries ago, imagined what life would be like now—and some of their predictions were surprisingly accurate.

Bringing balance to the universe: New theory could explain missing 95 percent of the cosmos
Scientists at the University of Oxford may have solved one of the biggest questions in modern physics, with a new paper unifying #darkmatter and #darkenergy into a single phenomenon: a fluid which possesses 'negative mass." If you were to push a negative mass, it would accelerate towards you. This astonishing new theory may also prove right a prediction that Einstein made 100 years ago.
