The Ebola virus, similar to many viruses, mutates, however slightly, as it spreads, and keeping up with those changes is key to heading off future outbreaks, scientists have said. Creative Commons Samples of Ebola are in short supply for U.S. scientists who require a fresh, steady stock of the virus to track its changes and to plan ahead for new drugs and vaccines. Much like the flu virus, Ebola mutates, however slightly, as it spreads, and keeping up with those changes is key to stopping new infections and heading off future outbreaks, according to Reuters. "No one really knows right now what has the virus mutated to or if it has mutated," Charles Chiu, a microbiologist and ...

I have seen a lot of advertisements about free electricity...but was always a skeptic... Until I saw this huge suppression case: Click here to see shocking video How the FDA (that's correct, the FDA) had to burn all this professor's findings on free electricity and how he was found dead afterwards.

When I look back upon it, being invited to give the closing keynote at the Ohio Linux Fest will be at the top of my "2014 Cool Stuff I Did" list. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel at home and welcomed. It is an experience I will remember always. My special thanks to +Beth Lynn Eicher for pulling all the levers and switches early on to help make it happen. You can watch my keynote here if you like. My special thanks to +Randy Noseworthy for the hours and hours he spent editing the keynotes into a decent form. Given he was using and old Android phone and a tripod, he did a great job. In a room with 300+ filled seats, I told the people in that room just how important ...

Scientists propose existence and interaction of parallel worlds: Many Interacting Worlds theory challenges foundations of quantum science
Post Date: 2014-11-03 06:23:39 by Tatarewicz

ScienceDaily... Griffith University academics are challenging the foundations of quantum science with a radical new theory based on the existence of, and interactions between, parallel universes. In a paper published in the journal Physical Review X, Professor Howard Wiseman and Dr Michael Hall from Griffith's Centre for Quantum Dynamics, and Dr Dirk-Andre Deckert from the University of California, take interacting parallel worlds out of the realm of science fiction and into that of hard science. The team proposes that parallel universes really exist, and that they interact. That is, rather than evolving independently, nearby worlds influence one another by a subtle force of ...

ScienceDaily: Earth is known as the Blue Planet because of its oceans, which cover more than 70 percent of the planet's surface and are home to the world's greatest diversity of life. While water is essential for life on the planet, the answers to two key questions have eluded us: where did Earth's water come from and when? While some hypothesize that water came late to Earth, well after the planet had formed, findings from a new study led by scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) significantly move back the clock for the first evidence of water on Earth and in the inner solar system. "The answer to one of the basic questions is that our oceans ...

U.S. government: Ebola is safer than the flu; high-risk carriers free to mingle with the public Saturday, November 01, 2014 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger (NaturalNews) When it comes to infectious disease, the medical contradictions practiced by the U.S. government are nothing short of staggering. Consider the striking contradiction between the government's policy on unvaccinated schoolchildren vs. its policy on allowing possible Ebola carriers to travel freely among the public as long as they are "asymptomatic" (i.e. showing no symptoms): Schoolchildren who are unvaccinated are routinely ordered sent home from public schools, even if they aren't infected with ...

UN Panel to Release 'Conclusive' Climate Change Report Saturday, 01 Nov 2014 02:12 PM The United Nations' expert panel on climate science on Saturday finished a report on global warming that the UN's environment agency said offers "conclusive evidence" that humans are altering the Earth's climate system. The document, which combines the findings of three earlier reports, was adopted after all-night talks Saturday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and is scheduled to be released to the public on Sunday. Apart from discussing the human influence, it is expected to describe how climate impacts, including melting Arctic sea ice and rising ...

Schizophrenic CDC pulls document admitting Ebola can spread via sneezes and doorknobs; see the original here Friday, October 31, 2014 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger (NaturalNews) Just days after admitted it lied about how Ebola spreads and finally admitting the virus can spread through aerosolized particles propelled via sneezing or coughing, the CDC yanked its document off the web. It replaced it with a new PDF that's almost entirely empty, except for the statement "Fact sheet is being updated and is currently unavailable." You can see that file at this CDC link. As the editor of Natural News, I anticipated the CDC doing this, so I saved off a copy of the original PDF ...

Pravda.Ru...It may seem that we know a lot more about the Moon than we do about any other celestial body. However, our natural satellite still hides many mysteries. There was time on Earth, when there was no Moon in the sky In the V century BC, Greek philosopher and astronomer Anaxagoras of Clazomenae wrote that according to his sources, the Moon appeared after the Earth was born. In the III century BC, Apollonius of Rhodes, in his "Argonautica," referred to the famous Aristotle, who, in turn, a century earlier, had described inhabitants of the mountainous regions of Arcadia, a region on the Peloponnesian Peninsula. Those people ate acorns and lived at the time, when there was ...

Pravda.Ru A new term has recently appeared among archaeologists - "out-of-place artifact". It goes about objects of ancient origin related to technologies, the level of which does not correspond to the era that they come from. As a rule, the technological level of such findings is much higher. In particular, it goes about so-called "Baghdad Batteries" that were found in Iraq. The findings are more than 2,000 year old. The finding was made near Baghdad by German archaeologist Wilhelm Konig in 1938. The discovery looked like clay jugs, the necks of which were sealed with asphalt plugs. Copper-wrapped iron rods were sticking out of the plugs. The jars would be filled with ...

Pravda.Ru NASA experts believe that in 2015, planet Earth will have to deal with an unprecedented heatwave. The forecast is based on temperature trends of recent years. Since the start of permanent climate observations in 1880, the frequency of temperature anomalies has been growing. Occurrences of high average temperatures follow each other: in 1995, 1997, 1998, 2005 and 2010. This September, average global temperature was 15.7 degrees Celsius, which is a new record for the past 135 years. During the first nine months of this year, average global temperature made up 14.7 degrees Celsius. NASA experts say that the current year can be regarded the hottest since 1998. However, in the ...

Happy birthday, Internet! You may be turning 45 today, but we swear you don't look a day over 30. And not to embarrass you, but we thought we'd celebrate by sharing some of your baby photos. Or, more accurately, perhaps some of your ultrasound picturess. How do we define the invention of the internet? It's a question that scholars and armchair historians have debated for decades. Did it start with the birth of British scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web in 1991? Did it start with the adoption of TCP/IP back in the Seventies? You could make a case for either. But one seminal moment in the creation of the internet, even further back, cannot be denied: the first ...
Oil-rich Saudi must invest in solar energy: official

Yahoo... Riyadh (AFP) - Oil-rich and sun-blessed Saudi Arabia has no choice but to invest in solar energy, a senior official of the national electricity provider said on Monday. "Solar energy is a must, not a choice," Hamed al-Saggaf, an executive director with the Saudi Electricity Company, told a conference on sun power. The kingdom is the largest producer in the OPEC oil cartel and is entirely dependent on oil and gas for its electricity production. "If we continue to consume fuel at the same rate then there will be a great lost opportunity," Saggaf told the 4th Solar Arabia Summit of industry players. "At least we have to start now," Saggaf said. The ...

SHANGHAI, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- China is now the world's largest industrial robot market with over 30 robot factories under construction, authorities said. Qu Daokui, deputy director of the State Engineering Research Center for Robotics, said during a forum in Shanghai on Sunday that robotics and the Internet will transform global manufacturing, and China is entering a golden decade for the development of domestically produced robots. Before 2008, there was no robot industry in China, he said. However, with the disappearance of the demographic dividend and a growing labor shortage, the country became the world's largest industrial robot market in 2013, he said. In the past ten ...

RT...An emerging UK aerospace firm has released images of its windowless plane concept. Instead of windows passengers will see display screens, which can show the environment outside the plane as well as films and video conferencing. CPI, based in north east England, believes the idea will quickly take off as planes without windows are much lighter than planes with them, and as airlines battle to save money and fuel, cost is one of their main considerations. A lighter plane will burn less fuel and will produce less CO2 emissions, which will also be better for the environment. The entire inner surface of the fuselage would be covered with high definition, flexible displays, which would be ...

Mirror... Personal helicopters could soon be filling the air - but you'll need £200,000 to buy one We've already got driverless cars to look forward to, and this was the week in which we were told that hoverboards might soon be a reality. What’s next – personal helicopters for one and all? Erm, yes actually. Okay, not really. Not for everyone. You’ll need to be minted to own one, but the closest thing yet to a flying car could soon be hoving into view. A European project called MyCopter has been beavering away at the idea and before the end of the year, a piloted flight of an easy-to-fly vertical take-off aircraft will happen. It’s called the ...

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has warned about artificial intelligence before, tweeting that it could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Speaking Friday at the MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics department’s Centennial Symposium, Musk called it our biggest existential threat: I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I were to guess like what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that. So we need to be very careful with the artificial intelligence. Increasingly scientists think there should be some regulatory oversight maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish. With ...
Miniature human intestines have been grown inside mice for the first time

Researchers have grown tiny, functioning human intestines inside mice, using a technique that might one day help to treat intestinal diseases using a patient’s own cells. Scientists from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Centre in the US have successfully used stem cells to bioengineer human “organoids” - or precursors to organs - and transplant them inside mice. Fascinatingly, this tissue then went on to grow into miniature, functional human intestines inside the rodents. This is a huge breakthrough, as a similar technique could eventually be used in humans to regrow healthy intestinal tissue from a patient’s own stem cells, which could then be ...
