Discoveries of the 21st Century

Discoveries of the 21st Century
By Nicholas Isaacs

Today I will be talking about new discoveries that have sent shock waves across the scientific community. Here, I have four cool discoveries, two from the past, and two recent ones. Let’s start with a discovery that was made about 6 years ago, somewhere in 2009. A man from somewhere in the United States said that he had made a rocket that literally didn’t need fuel! But, the only thing standing in his way was NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration).It was rejected because according the laws of space and gravity, it wasn’t supposed to work. But then, hope arrived when China saw the design and started testing it. Finally, NASA decided to take a look and test it. And then, the impossible happened! The rocket that was never supposed to work according to gravity worked when scientists built a model and tested it. This is a big discovery because now we can make rockets that do not need to run on fuel.
This next discovery can help us land on a certain planet that you might know now. For over a century, scientists believed that there had once been a big ocean of water on the planet Mars. But it wasn’t until we went into space that scientists could find out the truth. And a few weeks ago, we finally discovered something that we thought couldn’t possibly be there: water! Scientists have found an underground river which is officially proof that there was in fact, an ocean on Mars.
A new discovery brought up was that a scientist believes he has found proof of parallel universes. If you don’t know what a parallel universe is, let me tell you. A parallel universe is basically a copy of our universe that has copies of us and all the things in our universe. This discovery is also linked to the last discovery that I will tell you about.
Black holes. You know what they are. Giant powerful holes of darkness that is so strong that not even light can escape it. Nobody really knows where the stuff is even coming from. Not anymore. A few weeks ago, a satellite showed scientists something that will change our beliefs forever. While scientists were looking at a black hole, they saw something: an object came out of it. Not impressed? Well let me tell you something.It is basically impossible for something to escape the grasp of a black hole. But anything that goes in there has to come out somewhere. This is evidence of a parallel universe because this object maybe, just maybe might of come from a different universe.

I hope you liked all these exciting new discoveries and that you hope that you can make one someday. I will see you next time, bye!
