It's my life, you're just along for the ride!

In 1933, Fritz Zwicky—a Swiss astronomer working at CalTech—had an amazing revelation. He realized that the amount of matter that we can see through our telescopes doesnt match the behavior of the Universe. There had to be something else that we couldnt see. Something that accounts for an astonishing 83 percent of all existing matter but is invisible to us.Or it was. Now, for the first time in history, a team of astronomers has observed these hidden tendrils that extend everywhere. Dark matter, the mysterious substance that appears to give the Universe its structure, has finally been revealed.

Women may be able to have babies later in life thanks to ovary transplants. A handful of women worldwide have undergone the experimental procedure and had babies after menopause. Did science just reset how we think about the female body clock?

The idea is that women could have ovary tissue removed and frozen while they’re still fertile, and then have the tissue grafted back on later in life. That sounds crazy, but as the Daily Telegraph reports, 28 women worldwide have undergone the procedure and had babies after their ovaries stop working. Besides allowing women to have babies much later in life, the procedure could offset other effects of menopause like the increased risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and cancer.

Obviously, the procedure is far from reaching any kind of mainstream adoption, and it’s controversial for all of its potential life and health benefits. Good or bad, though, what’s clear is that a procedure like this would only benefit the very few people who could afford it. [Daily Telegraph]
