A female zoologist named Sally Roberts arrives on a distant planet to help capture and log the alien animals to take back to Earth. But when she is kidnapped by an alien creature that starts to protects her from own friends, she must learn nature is a lot stronger than man.

Our understanding of the nature of light might be completely wrong. The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and is how we’ve understood light for over 200 years. But a team is now suggesting we’ve got the interpretation all wrong – that light is in fact not a wave and is only made up of particles. If true, this is major. The authors of this study were left scrambling as “all hell broke loose” when they made the discovery. And the best part? Dark photons may be involved.
