Mike Adams — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 18:00:24 +0000

Scientists believe that the key to discovering extraterrestrial life could lie deep in the festering, underground oceans of Jupiter’s ice-covered moon Europa. New research suggests that if the salt water ocean beneath the surface of the frigid moon ever makes it's way to the surface, creating an intergalactic petri dish capable of producing a life-promoting environment.

Who says metalheads are just a bunch of chest-pounding neanderthals? Certainly not Cornell University doctoral students Jesse Silverberg and Matt Bierbaum, who are studying within the school's department of Condensed Matter Physics. The brainy duo have looked to rock and metal concerts in order to study the physics behind mosh pits, which could possibly help scientists gain a deep understanding of extreme situations such as "riots and panicked responses to disasters."
