ScienceAlert...Earthquakes occur at boundaries between tectonic plates, and the largest quakes, such as the one that devastated Chile in 2010, only occur at subduction zones. The key to predicting mega-earthquakes, new research shows, is to understand which subduction zones are capable of generating earthquakes and which ones aren't. Image: ermess/ShutterstockA team of international researchers, led by Monash University’s Associate Professor Wouter Schellart, have developed a new global map of subduction zones, illustrating which ones are predicted to be capable of generating giant earthquakes and which ones are not. The new research, published in the journal Physics of the Earth ...

SienceDaily Jan. 7, 2014 — Practice alone doesn't make perfect, but learning can be optimized if you practice in the right way, according to new research based on online gaming data from more than 850,000 people. The research, led by psychological scientist Tom Stafford of the University of Sheffield (UK), suggests that the way you practice is just as important as how often you practice when it comes to learning quickly. The new findings are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. Stafford and Michael Dewar from The New York Times Research and Development Lab analyzed data from 854,064 people playing an online game called ...
44 Reasons Why Evolution Is Just A Fairy Tale For Adults
Post Date: 2014-01-10 11:37:57 by christine

The theory of evolution is false. It is simply not true. Actually, it is just a fairy tale for adults based on ancient pagan religious philosophy that hundreds of millions of people around the world choose to believe with blind faith. When asked to produce evidence for the theory of evolution, most adults in the western world come up totally blank. When pressed, most people will mumble something about how “most scientists believe it” and how that is good enough for them. This kind of anti-intellectualism even runs rampant on our college campuses. If you doubt this, just go to a college campus some time and start asking students why they believe in evolution. Very few of them will ...

The largest EMP in the solar system EMP, power4patriots | 52 Comments Ever hear of the Carrington Event? Probably not. It occurred more than 150 years ago and its effects were minimal. But if anything like it happens again – and scientists are convinced it will – the effects could be devastating. Named after Richard Carrington, an astronomer who witnessed the incident, the Carrington Event was a super solar flare that shot directly toward the earth. Causing what we now know as an EMP, this solar storm produced a high intensity burst of electromagnetic energy that disrupted communications and shocked technicians when it shot through telegraph lines. Fortunately, there ...

Historic deep freeze across North America conclusively proves global warming is getting worse, right? Sunday, January 05, 2014 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Editor of NaturalNews.com (NaturalNews) Global warming is getting worse. It's so bad now that it has thrust most of North America into an historic deep freeze with plummeting temperatures that haven't been seen in decades. This is absolute proof that global warming is worsening, and the way I know that is because the same people who told me that record HOT temperature last summer were caused by global warming -- "See? It's really, really hot!" -- are now saying that record COLD temperatures are also caused ...

Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation has built 100 energy-efficient and eco-friendly houses in New Orleans to replace homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately, the organization believes that some of the wood it used is now rotting, reports The New Orleans Advocate. The organization used TimberSIL, an innovative glass-infused wood product produced by a South Carolina manufacturer, to build porches and outside steps. The absence of chromated copper arsenate and other chemicals typically used to prevent rot and decay was a selling point for Make It Right.

Frack to the Future: An Unlikely Place to Find a Shale Bounty by Matt Insley For the past two years, we’ve been investigating the benefits the shale gale is bringing to the U.S. and early investors. 2013 saw America's energy revolution come into its own in a big way. Crude oil production hit 25 year highs… making the U.S. the world’s biggest oil producer over Saudi Arabia. Fracking technology and American expertise has made the U.S. the “new standard in energy production” according to our resource expert Byron King. In today’s final essay in our best-of series, our muddy boots on the ground, Matt Insley, digs up a an important article on fracking that ...

Finding Climate Change By Absolute Rights Contributor on January 1, 2014 MV Akademik Schokalskiy By Vox Day There are some who doubt that God exists. They obviously haven't been paying much attention to the events at the South Pole, where the MV Akademik Schokalskiy was carrying a group of true believers in the gospel of Al Gore to document environmental changes there. For we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt that God not only exists, but has a rather puckish sense of humor. As it happens, the MV Akademik Schokalskiy will not reach its destination. The “climate scientists” on board are unable to reach the century-old base camp of Douglas Mawson and observe how the ...

Our electrical grid is an accident waiting to happen. In recent months, we’ve been told some things that patriots like us have long suspected. A report has recently been declassified that reveals that due to the U.S. electric grid’s old technology, lack of spare capacity and incapability of keeping pace with the increasing burden being placed upon it, the grid is vulnerable to a sophisticated physical assault that could produce catastrophic results. Everyone has known for many years that the grid is vulnerable to extreme weather, including intense heat in the South, tornados in the heartland, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and blizzards in the Northeast.

Pravda...25.12.2013 It is no secret that publication of articles in prestigious scientific journals increases the chances of the researchers to receive a grant or professorship. This is why, according to a Nobel laureate biologist Randy Schekman, these days such journals only hinder the normal scientific process, appreciating sensational nature of work more than its quality. This summer, when discussions of a scandalous "reform" of the Russian Academy of Sciences were ongoing, its supporters relied on the fact that the share of publications of the Academy of Sciences in prestigious scientific journals of the world is very, very low. According to them, this was a serious ...

World’s Greatest Hunting Rifle Reviewed: The D’Arcy Echols Legend

In a perfect world, all hunting rifles would feed, fire and eject 100 percent of the time in all possible hunting conditions. In a perfect world, a rifle’s components would be scaled to the individual cartridge, ensuring reliability and balance. In a perfect world, scopes would be mounted using a secure and stress-free system designed to precisely fit that individual scope. In a perfect world, all rifles would be capable of accuracy that ensured they could outshoot their owners. Such ideas, though admirable, are not attainable in the economics of mass production where “good enough” is the necessary standard. You can’t make a “perfect” rifle for $500 or even ...

The first metal 3D printer, a cheap thing that can work with steel, came out pretty recently, but there are already plans for commercializing another, one whose potential for change is likened to that of Isaac Newton. That's a pretty tall order, but it's what Esteban Schunemann, PhD student at Brunel University in London, said. When he revealed the Newton 3D Home Metal Printer, he said that “Just like Isaac Newton whose scientific discoveries lead to the industrial revolution, Newton 3D innovates in bringing metal 3D printing to the desktop environment.” That's actually the publicity tag. Esteban is working on a project titled “3D Deposition of Silicone and ...
