Are We Living in a Computer Simulation?

High-profile physicists and philosophers gathered to debate whether we are real or virtual—and what it means either way. If you, me and every person and thing in the cosmos were actually characters in some giant computer game, we would not necessarily know it. The idea that the universe is a simulation sounds more like the plot of “The Matrix,” but it is also a legitimate scientific hypothesis. In 2016, researchers pondered the controversial notion at the annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate here at the American Museum of Natural History. Moderator Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the museum’s Hayden Planetarium, put the odds at 50-50 that our entire existence is a ...

Universe may actually have a ‘north’ and a ‘south’ as new tests tear holes in Einstein’s gravity theory Scientists studying a quasar 13 billion light years away believe they have discovered a ‘direction’ to the universe which, if proven true, would upend not only Einstein’s theory of gravity, but the standard model of cosmology. The universe is governed by four fundamental forces which stitch it together: gravity, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force and electromagnetism. As it turns out, the fundamental physical constant to measure electromagnetism between charged particles is actually surprisingly inconsistent, despite being responsible for ...

‘A bad time to be alive’: Mass extinction 444 million years ago linked to loss of oxygen in Earth’s oceans ‘By expanding our thinking of how oceans behaved in the past, we could gain some insights into oceans today,’ says scientist at Stanford University Peter Stubley Tuesday 14 April 2020 11:33 The first major mass extinction in Earth’s history was linked to a severe and prolonged lack of oxygen in the oceans, according to a new study which could help scientists understand modern climate change. Some 85 per cent of all species perished during the Late Ordovician die-off about 444 million years ago – a time when the vast majority of life was ...

COVID-19 needs two particular proteins to gain access inside target cells Researchers used a database of cell types to find which have both proteins They found that coronavirus exploits a protein that usually helps fight viruses The findings may help experts as they hunt for treatments against COVID-19 Scientists have identified the particular cells in human lungs, nasal passages and intestines that are the most vulnerable to the new coronavirus. Experts used a database of which genes are turned on by which cells to identify the cell types which produce the two proteins COVID-19 uses to enter and infect cells. The team also found that the coronavirus has evolved to exploit interferon, ...

A Cosmo-Galactic Five-Raio Super Bankshot Explanation of Everything We will start this magisterial explanation of everything with the time-honored approach of the philosoñher, beginning with the things we know beyond doubt and then reasoning from them to suitably astonishing truths. As we know, Descartes began by saying, “Cogito ergo sum,” I think therefore I am.” (Ambrose Bierce, a more profound thinker, said, “Cogito cogito, ergo cogito sum. Cogito.” Butthis way lies madness.) So with what certain knowledge can we begin our quest? Our only certain knowledge is that we don’t have any. Acceptance of this condition will diminish the world’s ...
Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier inaccurately claims that the novel coronavirus is man-made and contains genetic material from HIV

CLAIM "this coronavirus genome contained sequences of another virus […] the HIV virus (AIDS virus)" VERDICT SOURCE: Luc Montagnier, Gilmore Health News, Zero Hedge, 16 Apr. 2020 DETAILS Inaccurate: Genomic analyses indicate that the virus has a natural origin, and was not engineered. The so-called “unique” protein sequence insertions found in the 2019 novel coronavirus can be found in many other organisms, not just HIV. KEY TAKE AWAY Genomic analyses of the novel coronavirus show that it was not engineered. In addition, the claim that its genome contains inserted HIV sequences is based on a now-withdrawn preprint of a study that contained significant flaws in ...

The researchers say that 60 percent of the strains they discovered turned out to be entirely new Covid-19 mutations underestimated, Chinese scientists warn, as they discover new DEADLIER virus strains A team of Chinese scientists has found dozens of new coronavirus strains, including some that destroy a host’s cells faster than others. Now, they warn that the most aggressive strains have spread across Europe and New York. The ability of the novel coronavirus to mutate has been previously vastly underestimated, a team from China’s Zhejiang University, led by Professor Li Lanjuan, says in a new study. The group found as many as 33 virus mutations in just 11 coronavirus patients ...

As we age, we change beyond recognition. Look at a photo of yourself as a teenager and, mistaken fashion choices aside, it’s likely you see traces of the same person with the same personality quirks as you are today. But whether or not you truly are the same person over a lifetime—and what that notion of personhood even means—is the subject of ongoing philosophical and psychology debate. The longest personality study of all time, published in 2016 in Psychology and Aging and highlighted by the British Psychological Society, suggests that over the course of a lifetime, just as your physical appearance changes and your cells are constantly replaced, your personality is also ...

Sgt. Aaron D. Allmon II/U.S. Air Force) BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La., and WASHINGTON — The B-52 bomber first flew in 1952, but remains a vital part of America’s nuclear deterrent. Now, to keep the bomber relevant for its nuclear mission, the U.S. Air Force is preparing to spend billions of dollars to develop a new air-launched cruise missile. The B-52’s nuclear option of choice is the AGM-86B air-launched cruise missile, commonly referred to as the ALCM. Fully loaded, the ...

If hydrocarbons are renewable- then is "Peak Oil" a fraud? April 11th, 2020 by Joel Bainerman Are hydrocarbons "renewable"- and if so- what does such a conclusion mean for the future of the world's oil and natural gas supplies? The question is critical due to the enormous amount of coverage the issue of "Peak Oil" is receiving from the mainstream press. If the supply of hydrocarbons is renewable- then the contrary to the conventional wisdom being touted throughout the mainstream press today- the world is NOT running out of oil. Unbeknownst to Westerners, there have actually been for quite some time now two competing theories concerning the origins of ...
New Evidence for the Strange Idea that the Universe Is a Hologram

What if everything around you, from the distant stars to your very hands, were a hologram? One of the great mysteries of modern cosmology is how our universe can be so thermally uniform—the vast cosmos is filled with the lingering heat of the Big Bang. Over time, it has cooled to a few degrees above absolute zero, but it can still be seen in the faint glow of microwave radiation, known as the cosmic microwave background. In any direction we look, the temperature of this cosmic background is basically the same, varying by only tiny amounts. But according to the standard “cold dark matter” model of cosmology, there wasn’t enough time for hotter and cooler regions of the ...

I've corresponded with Clive years before EweToob was a thing. He's a really sharp cookie when it comes to everything electronic or electrical. I trust his opinions as my own. This video is about a half hour long, but he breaks the information down very well. I've had a great deal of difficulty finding out what this 5G nonsense is about, this is a good primer. Title of video: 5G death beams are rubbish for killing your foes. (comments welcome) Be forewarned, the subject matter is very dry, technical and frankly, probably not for everyone. Clive is pleasant to listen to though. Clive's conclusions: 5G is a big nothing-burger. I agree. The idea of radio-controlled viruses ...

The COVID-19 outbreak is proving to be the Trojan horse that justifies the ushering in of the surveillance state. We've noted how governments and corporations are quickly deploying big data and spy tools to monitor people during the pandemic. The war on terror, the war on drugs, the war on illegal immigration, and now the war on COVID-19: all start out as legitimate responses but then are used by politicians to increase the surveillance state and erode any freedoms citizens have left. What's coming to America in the not too distant future is a full-blown surveillance state, that could be on par with China's. In particular, we want to show ...

1. Any given program, when running, is obsolete. 2. Any given program costs more and takes longer. 3. If a program is useful, it will have to be changed. 4. If a program is useless, it will have to be sold at a much higher cost. 5. Any given program will expand to fill all available memory. 6. The value of a program is proportional to the uselessness of its purpose. 7. Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of the programmer who must maintain it. 8. Make it possible for programmers to write programs in English, and you will find that programmers cannot write in English.

It’s the first U.S.-based manned space program since the shuttle program ended in 2011. By Jeffrey Kluger July 21, 2019 Even after half a century, people still don’t know much about the little broken switch that nearly stranded Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface in July of 1969. No one will ever be certain how the switch broke, but Aldrin is pretty sure it happened after he and Armstrong reentered the lunar module following their two-and-a-half hour moonwalk. ...

Our Solar System Is Even Stranger Than We Thought

How special is the solar system? The history of astronomy has mostly been a one-way journey from a worldview in which our solar system is orderly (and divine) to a view in which we are not special. Our solar system’s planets, once thought to dance in god-ordained perfect circles in a “music of the spheres,” deviate from circular orbits. Johannes Kepler, who demonstrated the non-circular orbits of the planets, tried to restore a sense of heavenliness by latching onto a new pattern for their orbits based on Plato’s mathematical solids—but that notion was discredited many years later with the discovery of Uranus. So when, on a sunny afternoon in California in 2017, I ...
