A recent study proposes that the mysterious Voynich Manuscript could have been created using a medieval cipher called the Naibbe cipher, which mimics the manuscript's statistical features without claiming to decode its meaning. The research suggests the manuscript's text might be a complex, constructed cipher system, keeping its true nature and purpose still unresolved, but providing a new framework for understanding its creation.
Crew-7 astronauts have arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) to conduct a six-month mission focused on studying the effects of spaceflight on the human body. The crew will be working on a suite of experiments called CIPHER, which consists of 14 different experiments aimed at understanding how spaceflight changes the human body based on duration. The experiments will collect data on bone strength, eye health, cardiovascular functioning, and muscle atrophy. The findings will be crucial for future crewed missions to the Moon and Mars, as they will help researchers understand the long-term effects of space travel on the human body.
