Amid wait for ‘hydrogen bomb’, Rahul Gandhi to hold press conference in Delhi today

Published by Parlour News

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi is going to address a press conference at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi on Wednesday at 12 PM, where speculation is rife that he may make a major revelation, referred to earlier as a “hydrogen bomb” linked to his allegations of vote theft and irregularities in the electoral rolls. Rahul Gandhi speaks during the public meeting organised for the Bihar Assembly elections, at Wazirganj constituency in Gaya (AICC) On September 1, Rahul Gandhi warned the BJP of an impending expose, stating that he will soon unleash a “hydrogen bomb” about his allegations of vote theft, as what was shown about Mahadevpura was just an “atom bomb.” Addressing a gathering on the last day of the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’, Gandhi launched barbed attacks on the BJP, saying that “forces who murdered Mahatma Gandhi are now trying to destroy the Constitution of India.” The 16-day-long ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ led by Congress MP and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi is aimed at raising awareness about voter rights and protesting against alleged “vote theft” …

Hydrogen Gas Cloud Might Help Solve the Mystery of Missing Non-Dark Matter of the Universe

Hydrogen Gas Cloud Might Help Solve the Mystery of Missing Non-Dark Matter of the Universe

Published by Webster

It is observed that about half of the matter cannot be occupied just by stars and galaxies. Scientists say that hydrogen gas clouds could unveil it. Missing matter of the universe may have finally been detected. It is reported by the astronomers that the stuff revealed and not dark matter accounts for only 15 percent of the total mass of the universe. For years, scientists have rushed into a problem, and they have not been able to find even about half of the normal matter in the galaxies, stars, and other space structures that can be seen. Research and Discovery At present, a large international team of researchers led by Simone Ferraro from the University of California, Berkeley, concluded that the hydrogen gas cloud that surrounds most galaxies is more extensive than previously realised by scientists. The extensiveness is so high that it could even be responsible for most of the universe’s missing matter, according to the study, which is published in the online pre-print journal arXiv. The hunt for the Missing Matter The researchers …

Underground Hydrogen Reserves Could Power Earth for 200 Years, Study Finds

Underground Hydrogen Reserves Could Power Earth for 200 Years, Study Finds

Published by Webster

A vast reserve of hydrogen gas buried beneath Earth’s crust has been estimated to hold trillions of tons of this clean energy source. Scientists suggest that even a small portion of this hidden hydrogen could meet global energy needs for the next 200 years, potentially reducing the dependence on fossil fuels. While the exact locations of these reserves remain unclear, preliminary studies point to immense quantities, indicating significant implications for future energy systems and sustainable development. Massive Hydrogen Reserves Identified According to a recent study published in Science Advances, an estimated 6.2 trillion tons of hydrogen could be trapped within rocks and underground reservoirs. This figure vastly exceeds the total oil reserves globally, with hydrogen quantities calculated to be 26 times greater than the remaining crude oil. Despite the enormous potential, much of this hydrogen is believed to lie at depths or locations that may prove inaccessible or economically unviable for extraction. Key Insights from the Study Geoffrey Ellis, a petroleum geochemist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), emphasised to space.com that a mere 2 …
