Literally less than a month ago, scientists discovered an immensely powerful radio-wave laser, so powerful it is referred to as a ‘megamaser’, from the new MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. Not only is it a super strong beam, but it is also the most distant megamaser that they have been able to detect from Earth to date, with estimates putting it at about 5 billion light years away from us. Scientists from the team who discovered this megamaser explain that these are usually formed when two galaxies collide violently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important lesson you can learn from history?
There is no easy answer to this question. However, there are three main points to consider when thinking about learning. We must first realize that knowledge is power. Second, it is important to recognize that knowledge is cumulative. Third, it is important to recognize how rapidly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. It empowers us to make better choices and improve our lives. We wouldn't have any problems making decisions if we had perfect information. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
Knowledge is not just power; it's also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now turn our attention to the third. Knowledge is not static. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists discover new theories and facts every day. Discoveries are made all the time.
Our culture is dependent on technology that allows us instant access to information. It is possible to store large amounts of data digitally and share it with millions of people around the world.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization refers simply to the process by which ideas or products spread beyond borders. Knowledge is now easily accessible all over the world because of globalization.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. You can surf the internet, read books, listen to music and play video games. All of these activities require knowledge.
Although knowledge is becoming easier to access, it is also becoming more specific. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These websites offer information on almost every topic you can think of.
But if you go online to buy a car, you'll probably find only a few dozen sites offering automotive-related services and products. Instead of thousands of sites covering every possible topic, there will be only a handful of sites that are focused on cars.
Experts in particular fields have the ability to share and create value. This is why experts in these areas are so popular. Experts often have an in-depth knowledge of a subject. Experts are also skilled at producing content that is relevant to their target audience.
Consumers will appreciate this specialization because they won't have to go through tons of irrelevant information. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts can also benefit from specialization as they are able to build strong businesses around what they know. When someone buys a book, he expects the author to know his subject well enough to write a clear and concise explanation of the material. He wants to be sure that the author understands what he is trying to communicate.
Experts who do not specialize risk losing potential customers.
You don't have to specialize in one area. Nowadays, specialists are not limited to one area. We might be an accountant, a lawyer, a doctor, or a teacher. It is also possible to be a parent, spouse, friend, or fan.
Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.
So how do you become an expert in multiple areas? The simple answer is practice. It takes practice to master a skill. When you start to make progress, it's important to keep going until your skills are recognized by others.
There are many industries that help others achieve this goal. Many courses, workshops and seminars, as well as schools, teach how to quickly gain knowledge.
What are three lessons history can teach us?
There are plenty of examples from history that show how we can learn lessons from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied to the challenges of business today and turned into opportunities for growth.
Our past has shown us that there's always another way. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History also shows that sometimes it's the underdogs who triumph. Look back at the times when an underdog won.
Look back on the past and learn from it. Learn from the successes and failures of others.
These lessons will help you increase your success rate.
How to easily learn from the victories and mistakes of human history
You don't have to wait for history to repeat itself. It doesn't take much time at all to learn from the mistakes of human history. Be sure to not repeat the mistakes!
Recognize the lessons from the past to help you build your business.
This is possible by studying books about leadership and managing strategies as well case studies of successful businesses that have been around for decades.
This way, you'll be able to draw inspiration from their successes and avoid common pitfalls they fell into.
You can also find examples of businesses that went bankrupt. Why did they fail. Is there a common theme among these failures. These insights will help you avoid costly mistakes.
You can also read about historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, John D. Rockefeller and Steve Jobs. Although they had the most impressive resumes, none of them knew how to manage people or run companies. It is essential to learn from their mistakes in order to gain valuable lessons.
It is possible to learn from both the successes and failures of human history. Just spend a few minutes each day thinking about what worked in the past and how you can apply it today.
Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. You've learned a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They can be used as opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. Use them.
And then try again.

How To
Accidental Discovery of Penicillin: Successive Inventions
How did penicillin come into existence?
Penicillin was discovered accidentally when Alexander Fleming noticed mold growing on some bacteria cultures he had left out. He believed the mold might kill the bacteria so he set out to find a way that would destroy the mold.
He found that penicillin killed the mold, and then he realized that this new substance could also help fight infections caused by bacteria. Penicillin's discovery was one of most important medical breakthroughs. It saved millions of lives, and it changed the course forever of medicine.
At first, Alexander Fleming didn't know that his finding would be so important. The other person didn't know the same. Penicillin was a powerful antibiotic that no one had ever imagined.
Penicillin was discovered to be effective in fighting bacterial infections by scientists only after World War II. The U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming in 1945 if penicillin could be used to treat soldiers with wounds infected by deadly germs. Dr. Fleming was willing to give it a try.
It turned out that penicillin was effective against many different kinds of infection. Penicillin was an invaluable lifesaver for wounded soldiers in World War II. It saved many lives, and it was used by doctors to save more.
Dr. Fleming did not expect that his discovery would have such a profound impact. He wanted to make sure mold wouldn't grow on bacteria cultures that he had previously studied. But he couldn’t see how such an easy experiment would lead to such a simple medical breakthrough.
The truth is, many discoveries every day don't seem to amount to anything special at all. These discoveries are nothing more than experiments, done for no particular purpose.
If you look back at history, you will see that even seemingly insignificant experiments can make a huge difference.
Discoveries that seem to have nothing in common end up being incredibly important. Like the discovery of penicillin. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
Invention doesn't happen simply because someone has a great idea. It occurs because someone has a problem. And then they find a solution through experimentation.
