Astronomers have found an enormous void in space that measures nearly a billion light-years across.
It is empty of both normal matter – such as galaxies and stars – and the mysterious “dark matter” that cannot be seen directly with telescopes.

Scientists claim that a galactic void this large is far from a normal occurrence.

The researchers were able to construct a method of turning body heat into electricity using the same principal as thermoelectric generators (TEG) made from semi-conductor elements. TEGs extract electricity from the temperature difference between a hot and cold environment.

Scientists break the speed of light

Travelling faster than light also, in theory, turns back time. According to conventional physics, an astronaut moving beyond light speed would arrive at his destination before leaving.

But two German physicists claim to have forced light to overcome its own speed limit using the strange phenomenon of quantum tunnelling, in which particles summon up the energy to cross an apparently uncrossable barrier.

The Energy Saving Adapters

It’s pretty simple, when a plugged in device doesn’t need energy for over 3 minutes, then its power will be cut, as a result,the more things you plug in, the more energy you save and this is automatic, just plug your things in and let it roll!
