When excavated the location of the planned center will be built into the sacred bathing place for Jews in Jerusalem, Israeli archaeologists discovered an ancient pool complex. "Every modern building in the old town was set on top of old buildings. The question now is, whether the parties relating to the religious tolerant enough to accept the other's history.
- Rafi Greenberg, an archaeologist from Tel Aviv Unievrsitas
They soon expect the pool came from the Roman era were buried in the city since nearly 2,000 years ago. The discovery was announced 22 November. Ofer Sion, director of implementation of the excavation Jewis Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, said this discovery will prove that the cities of Roman times greater than previously thought.

A group of scientists recently initiated a program of mapping the Earth's mantle, a layer of earth that lies between the earth's crust and core. Andy Nowacki, a geophysicist from the University of Bristol, UK who are involved in coat mapping program, said the study has been very helpful in understanding the volcanic activity and earthquakes.
Why map the coat can help to understand volcanoes and earthquakes? Coat layer is a dense layer having a thickness of approximately 2800 km. Although dense, this layer can move slowly because it has a high temperature. When this layer moves, then the existing tectonic layer on it also moves. Tectonic plate movement that occurs is a potentially increased volcanic activity and cause earthquakes.

Scientists discover new species of squid in the Indian Ocean. The discovery was reported by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, on Monday (11/15/2010). The species is included in the family Chiroteuthid.
Species that are found to have a size of about 70 cm long has an organ that is able to emit light to scare the prey. According to the IUCN report, the species found at the bottom of a steep sea. So far, it has been found in 70 species of squid in the expedition. All squid species that represent 20 percent of species of squid in the world.

Conservation experts from the UK found a rare bat in the jungle of Sumatra. Bats found in known as the barong Ridley (Hipposideros ridleyi), a species classified as threatened with extinction in the list of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Species of bats were found in forest fragments that extent only 300 hectares. Fragment is surrounded by oil palm plantations, which opened in the forest area and expanded so that penetrated an important habitat for the survival of endangered animals.

The opinion of leading British scientist, Stephen Hawking, who ignore God's role in the creation of the universe is not completely opposed. Colleagues at the University of Cambridge think Hawking may misinterpret God as described in the scriptures.
"The term God is trying to reveal Stephen Hawking is not God the creator as it is believed to Abraham, which is the best explanation to explain why something exists," says Denis Alexander, Director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, Friday (9/3/2010).
According to him, the term God is the embodiment Hawking said that fills the gaps in science that has not been revealed. In fact, the view of science and religious belief are different. He argues, science to explain something with a great narrative about the occurrence of something, while theology is the meaning of these narratives.

What is the meaning behind the Mona Lisa smile full of puzzles? The scientists believe that smile changes depending on where the eye sees first. One appeal of the most famous paintings in the world that is able to look radiant, but then turned serious and cynical. Now scientists claim to have found the answer to these changes, namely our eyes that sends random signals to the brain. They believe that the Mona Lisa's smile can be seen depending on the cells in the retina and what channels to use the image into the brain.
