CDC held meeting of vaccine scientists to deliberately destroy evidence linking vaccines to autism Thursday, July 30, 2015 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger (NaturalNews) For a government that lies about everything -- fudging economic numbers, using the IRS as a political weapon and even manufacturing staged domestic terrorism events so the FBI can "catch terrorists" in the act -- it's no surprise to now learn that the CDC deliberately destroyed evidence linking vaccines to autism. According to a new statement relayed today by Rep. Bill Posey, the CDC held a meeting of scientists to decide which piece of evidence to destroy that might link vaccines to autism in ...

Want... "Now we have reached a tipping point where machines can displace a lot of people. That can be a big economic and social problem," said Martin Ford, author of "Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future," in an exclusive interview with Xinhua. Data from the International Federation of Robotics show that industrial robot sales to China jumped 54% to hit 56,000 units in 2014, making China the world's biggest market for robots. In the future, factory workers may not only have to compete among themselves, but also with robots for job opportunities. "As you have better robots, eventually there's going to be displacement," he ...

URUMQI, China, July 28 (UPI) -- Keeping track of CO2 isn't easy. It's everywhere. Most of the carbon dioxide released into the air by humans (roughly 70 percent) ends up in the atmosphere or the ocean, but the greenhouse gas is also soaked up by plant life. But plants can't account for all the missing gas. New research suggests aquifers flowing beneath the world's deserts are hiding away large amounts of CO2. According to the new study, these "carbon sinks" may hold more carbon than all the planet's plants combined. A team of international researchers suggest the process by which carbon makes its way into large underground pools was accelerated by the ...

Pravda... A new study, conducted by researchers from Northwestern University in Illinois, has revealed that a simple genetic "switch" may be the key to the solving the mystery of aging. Caenorhabditis elegans, the roundworm, is a deceptively simple animal, and yet one of some notoriety: it was the first creature to have its genome sequenced and to have all of its neural connections mapped. By exploring this worm, Richard I. Morimoto and his fellow researchers were able to find a certain genetic marker that turns on the aging process. According to the study, the turning point coincides with the moment the worm reaches reproductive maturity, eight hours into its lifetime. The ...

Want... The first nuclear fusion-fission hybrid reactor will be launched in China before 2030, according to Duowei News, a US-based news outlet run by overseas Chinese, citing a report in state-owned Science and Technology Daily. Nuclear fusion refers to a nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei come very close and then collide at a very high speed, joining to form a new type of atomic nucleus, whereas in nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts. The report said that this newly launched reactor will be three times more powerful than a fission reactor. The hybrid reactor is comparatively safe as the power of the machine can be controlled externally, according to ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill., July 20 (UPI) -- Birth order produces a small, statistically significant difference in personality and IQ, but it is far too small to be noticeable to anybody in everyday life. Most birth order-related differences in children are more likely based on the actions and interpretation of their parents, not the slight differences between them, according to a study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. "The message of this study is that birth order probably should not influence your parenting, because it's not meaningfully related to your kid's personality or IQ," Rodica Damian, a professor of psychology at the University of Houston, said in a ...

Asteroids might not look like much on the outside, but you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Underneath the surface of some asteroids is a treasure trove of a type of mineral, called platinum, that is rare on Earth but extremely lucrative - 1,000 cubic centimetres of platinum is worth close to $US1 million. And asteroids have a lot more than that. One of these platinum-loaded asteroids will be flying by Earth on Sunday, July 19. And this particular one, called asteroid 2011 UW-158, is thought to harbour an estimated $US5.4 trillion worth of platinum. Although asteroid mining is a goal for near-future for space exploration, we don’t have the technology right now to mine one. ...

ScienceAlert... A researcher at Ransselaer Polytechnic Institute in the US has given three Nao robots an updated version of the classic 'wise men puzzle' self-awareness test... and one of them has managed to pass. In the classic test, a hypothetical King calls forward the three wisest men in the country and puts either a white or a blue hat on their heads. They can all see each other's hats, but not their own, and they're not allowed to talk to each other. The King promises that at least one of them is wearing a blue hat, and that the contest is fair, meaning that none of them have access to any information that the others don't. Whoever is smart enough to work out ...

LEICESTER, England, July 16 (UPI) -- Doctors have been baffled by a man who was brought to the hospital in 2005 after a root canal with tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, and an ability to remember things for 10 minutes after they occurred before the memories would disappear forever. The memory problem, called anterograde amnesia, has been seen before in people with structural damage to their brain. In this case, however, the man had not experienced trauma that would harm the hippocampus, which makes new memories. "I remember getting into the chair and the dentist inserting the local anesthetic," the man, whose identity has been withheld to protect his privacy, told the BBC. But ...

PRINCETON, N.J., July 17 (UPI) -- Researchers have discovered a massless particle, which was first theorized 85 years ago and thought to be a possible building block for other subatomic particles. The discovery of the Weyl fermion, conceived of by mathematician and physicist Hermann Weyl in 1929, could be a boon for electronics, researchers said. It could allow electricity to flow more freely and efficiently providing greater power, most notably for computers. "The physics of the Weyl fermion are so strange, there could be many things that arise from this particle that we're just not capable of imagining now," M. Zahid Hasan, a professor of physics at Princeton University, ...

CORVALLIS, Ore., July 15 (UPI) -- Having trouble getting your kids to eat vegetables? A new strain of designer seaweed might be just what you're looking for. Scientists at Oregon State University (OSU) have been successfully growing a patented strain of bright red algae that they say, when cooked, tastes like bacon. It's a superfood for people who don't eat superfoods. Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is a red alga that grows wild off the northern coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific. Harvested and dried, the seaweed fetches a hefty price as snack food and cooking ingredient -- used commonly along the coasts of Ireland as a flavor enhancer for soups and stews. While the new strain of ...

ScienceAlert... Road surfacing may not be the first application that comes to mind for recycled plastic bottles, but Dutch construction firm VolkerWessels has plans to use the material for a pilot scheme in the city of Rotterdam. While the idea is still at the conceptual stage for now, the company says that its plastic, environmentally friendly roads could be in place within three years. There are many benefits to using recycled plastic rather than asphalt for a driving surface: producing the material would have a much smaller environmental footprint; it would last longer; require less maintenance; and be able to withstand greater extremes in temperature. The plastic solution would be ...

Recent research has revealed evidence of geothermal heating from below the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which could be bad news amidst concerns of rising sea levels. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been under recent fire from rising global temperatures, shedding much of its mass into the Southern Ocean in the form of liquid fresh water. According to a report from UPI, that’s not all the ice sheet needs to be concerned about – scientists have just detected a surprising amount of heat being applied to the ice from geothermal activity below. Using a deep probe, scientists took measurements of the flow of heat in the sediments underneath the ice sheet. They were shocked to find ...
