You’ve probably heard the cliché that humans are just tiny specks in the universe. It might literally be true. A recent study gives more evidence to a theory that we’re actually tiny specks inside of a gigantic void of nothingness — and it’s the biggest known void of nothingness in the entire universe.
Here’s the theory: Imagine our entire universe as a block of Swiss cheese. The cheese itself is made of several “galactic filaments,” which are honeycomb-like network of multiple galaxies and stars. The holes in the block of cheese are cosmic voids, which literally are giant bubbles of near-nothingness — they might have a few galaxies in them, but they’re not dense.

The Republicans’ signature campaign promise to repeal and replace Obamacare came to a screeching halt Monday night after Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas came together, shocked Capitol Hill and vowed to vote against the latest draft of the GOP’s health care bill.
.
“We should not put our stamp of approval on bad policy,” Moran said in a bold statement that derailed Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s bid to overhaul the Affordable Care Act. McConnell could only lose two senators and still pass the bill, and Maine’s Susan Collins and Kentucky’s Rand Paul had already defected.

After an Australian woman was shot dead by police in Minneapolis, experts are questioning why the officers’ body cameras were not turned on during the encounter.
Justine Ruszczyk, who used the last name Damond, reportedly called 911 after hearing a noise near her home on Saturday, according to her stepson-to-be. She was fatally shot by one of the responding officers.
Although Minneapolis police have not named the officers involved, NBC affiliate KARE quoted sources as identifying the officer who shot Damond as Mohammed Noor. Police sources also told KARE that Noor, who was in the squad car’s passenger seat, aimed across his partner and out the window to fire at Damond.

Then, with Muguruza serving to stay in the first set at 5-4 down, came a 19-shot rally that changed everything.
.
Williams lost it as she dumped a forehand into the net, and was never the same player again.
.
It was all Muguruza after that, taking nine straight games to win her first Wimbledon crown, 7-5 6-0.
.
What looked like a classic Wimbledon final after the first set turned into an anti-climax when Muguruza won the second, and the championship, 6-0 in 26 minutes on a challenge in front of a stunned Centre Court crowd.
.
“It was my hardest match today,” said Muguruza, as former Spanish king Juan Carlos watched from the royal box. “I grew up watching her play.”

The five attacks on Thursday night, which were reported to police over a 70-minute period, are the latest in a spike of incidents using corrosive liquids as weapons in robberies and gang-related violence in the British capital.
Police said at least four of the five attacks involved two males on a moped, and in at least two cases the attackers stole mopeds belonging to their victims. Another incident involved a robbery.

The future of tattoos could give you a life-saving warning when your blood sugar dips.
People get tattoos for decorative or commemorative reasons, but now teams at MIT Media Lab and Harvard Medical School have collaborated to give tattoos a new function: delivering real-time data about your body. The researchers have created a tattoo ink that reacts to your body’s chemistry to change colors as your body changes.
Called DermalAbyss, the work is the brainchild of MIT Media Lab researcher Katia Vega, who worked with Harvard Medical School to create four types of biosensors that react to three types of biochemical information. These unconventional inks inject biosensors below the skin to gather measurements on interstitial fluid in your skin and change in color when glucose (blue and brown scale), sodium (varying intensities of fluorescence) or pH levels (purple and pink scale) change in your body.

It’s been a work in progress for decades, but scientists are finally close to perfecting the “artificial leaf,” a device that can turn sunlight and carbon dioxide into clean-burning fuels. The technology — a merger of biology, physics, and engineering — may one day be an important weapon in the fight against climate change as well as a vital power source, especially in developing nations.
Several research teams have approached the problem. At the University of Central Florida, chemist Fernando Uribe-Romo has developed a synthetic crystalline molecule that can trap carbon dioxide (CO2) and convert the energy from sunlight into organic compounds that can be used as fuels.

The big change in the new Senate Republican health care proposal is, as expected, an amendment that has the potential to undermine current protections for pre-existing conditions.
Yes, that’s despite the promises Republican leaders have made, over and over, to treat those protections as sacrosanct.
The amendment, based on a proposal that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has been promoting and tweaking for weeks, would undermine the rules on what and who insurers cover in order to make insurance cheaper. These rules, which include prohibitions on charging higher premiums to people with severe medical problems, are a cornerstone of the Affordable Care Act.
