  Fasting Research Wins Nobel Prize in Medicine. The 2016 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Japan's Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi for his discoveries of the underlying mechanisms of a physiological process called autophagy. Autophagy is a natural process by which the body degrades and recycles damaged cells, proteins and toxins. Autophagy comes from two Greek words, auto meaning "self" and phagy meaning "to eat." This is the body's way of cleaning house. It happens during starvation, calorie restriction, and fasting. If the body fails to engage in autophagy, damaged cells and structures can accumulate dangerously. Autophagy is one method that the body uses to naturally neutralize cancer cells and degrade cells infected by harmful bacteria and viruses... Today, we are learning that intermittent fasting can deliver numerous health benefits. Overeating can cause significant harm, including increased risks of cardiovascular, weight, blood sugar, brain...

Gravity/ Cosmology

Gravity Curvature of spacetime. There are three possibilities to how the universe could end: Big Rip, Big Crunch or Big Chill. NASA already ruled out the first scenario (No Big Rip; see also:  Universe Today ). This leaves the universe with only two possible endings: Big Crunch or Big Chill. Stephen Hawking's proposal predicted that the Universe would eventually stop expanding and collapse in on itself (Big Crunch). Here's Stephen Hawking's final theory about the Big Bang Lastly, it predicted that the Universe would eventually stop expanding and collapse in on itself. Universe Today, Here's Stephen Hawking's final theory about the Big Bang, 2018 In the Quran God promises to make the Big Crunch: Quran 7:187 They ask you about the Hour, "When will it come?" Say, "Knowledge of it rests with my Lord. None can reveal its coming except He. It weighs heavily on the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except suddenly." They ask you as if you...
