This video is a Neal Adams animation about his theory that the Earth is growing. This collides with the Pangea theory. Watch it, you will be amazed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_jRcZx6LCA
Poster Comment:This theory makes more sense than what we were taught in school. How could, in the beginning, all the land be on one side of the earth and the water on the other? It doesn't make sense. But that's what we were taught so that's what we believe? If the earth is growing, that would explain the earthquakes.

Discovery in Israel Could Change View of Man’s Origins | Print | E-mail WRITTEN BY DAVE BOHON WEDNESDAY, 29 DECEMBER 2010 14:00 1 Archaeologists in Israel have discovered what they say are human teeth up to 400,000 years old. A spokesman for Tel Aviv University’s Institute of Archaeology said the find could represent the oldest evidence of the human species yet uncovered and could challenge the established scientific assumption that humans originated in Africa. Avi Gopher, the expedition’s lead archaeologist, told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that the teeth were found in a cave east of Tel Aviv that was in use up until about 200,000 years ago, and were “scattered through ...
Planet "X" (Tyche - "Nibaru" ) may exist after all

What's up to four times as big as Jupiter, is so distant that astronomers haven't been able to find it in more than 80 years, and is the stuff of legends and conspiracy theories? "Planet X." A mystery object that most astronomers would rather not discuss. Whenever a discussion of the possibility that the massive planet exists does flare up, most astrophysicists and professional astronomers treat the subject with the same respect they give to UFOs. But now some scientists think they have actually found the elusive Planet X. And if they have, many that have been debunking it for years are like to experience conniption fits. Astrophysicists have compiled evidence that ...
Brain scans reveal the criminal mind

The latest neuroscience research is presenting intriguing evidence that the brains of certain kinds of criminals are different from those of the rest of the population. While these findings could improve our understanding of criminal behavior, they also raise moral quandaries about whether and how society should use this knowledge to combat crime. The criminal mind In one recent study, scientists examined 21 people with antisocial personality disorder – a condition that characterizes many convicted criminals. Those with the disorder "typically have no regard for right and wrong. They may often violate the law and the rights of others," according to the Mayo Clinic. Brain ...
Supermoon may cause natural disasters next week

On March 19th 2011, the moon will make its closest approach to Earth in almost 20 years, possibly triggering earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other disasters. The phenomenon, called lunar perigee or Supermoon, happens when the moon reaches its absolute closest point to Earth. On March 19, the natural satellite will be only 221,567 miles away from our planet. There were Supermoons in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005, and these years had their share of extreme weather conditions, too. Although there are scientific laws that say the moon affects the Earth, it's still ambiguous whether the lunar perigee and natural disasters is coincidence or not.

The first GM food crop containing human genes is set to be approved for commercial production. The laboratory-created rice produces some of the human proteins found in breast milk and saliva. Its U.S. developers say they could be used to treat children with diarrhoea, a major killer in the Third World. The rice is a major step in so-called Frankenstein Foods, the first mingling of human-origin genes and those from plants. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture has already signalled it plans to allow commercial cultivation. The rice's producers, California-based Ventria Bioscience, have been given preliminary approval to grow it on more than 3,000 acres in Kansas. The company plans ...

Canadians spend more time online than anyone in the world, thanks in large part to people over 55, according to a new report. Web research firm ComScore released the report, which shows Canadians spent, on average, 43.5 hours online between October and December 2010 -- more than twice the worldwide average. The U.S. came in second with an average of 35.5 hours per user in the fourth quarter, followed by the U.K. with 32.3 hours and South Korea with 27.7 hours. Canada, which was also the world's top Internet-using country in 2009, has seen a steady increase in Internet usage since then, rising 2% between December 2009 and December 2010. The biggest growth is coming from older ...
Looking inside the living cell

Painting a better picture of life going about its business at the microscopic scale requires a trick of the light. A report in Nature Methods describes how "light sheets" allow researchers to take images of cellular processes in action, in unprecedented detail. These slivers of light illuminate just the part of a living cell that is in focus, and 3D images are made from many of these thin planes stacked up. The approach could provide a previously unachievable view of living things.

Though it may be hard to swallow, Hoover is convinced that his findings reveal fossil evidence of bacterial life within such meteorites, the remains of living organisms from their parent bodies -- comets, moons and other astral bodies. By extension, the findings suggest we are not alone in the universe, he said. ... In what he calls “a very simple process,” Dr. Hoover fractured the meteorite stones under a sterile environment before examining the freshly broken surface with the standard tools of the scientist: a scanning-electron microscope and a field emission electron-scanning microscope, which allowed him to search the stone’s surface for evidence of fossilized remains. He ...

BEIJING, March 3 (Xinhuanet) -- Controlling your laptop just with your eyeballs is no longer a dream as an eye-controlled laptop was unveiled Wednesday at the CeBIT technology fair, according to AFP reports. The cutting-edge laptop, jointly developed by Swedish company Tobii Technology and Lenovo, is the first in the world to offer optical control. Tobii originally created its eye-tracking technology for the individuals unable to speak or write, and then expanded the use to hospitals, vehicle safety, gaming, and now personal computing. With two infrared lights and an extremely sophisticated optical sensor, the laptop can determine precisely where users, including those who wear glasses, ...

BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhuanet) -- A team of U.S. researchers have found the answer to why sunspots disappeared during 2008-2009, according to an article published in "Nature" on Thursday. The researchers used the space telescope to gather the information on sunspots, solar flares and magnetic fields at north and south poles of the sun, which helped the computer to build a model and aided researchers simulate the activities on sun’s surface over 2,000 years. After an analysis on the computer model, the researchers concluded the disappearance of sunspots was tightly linked with the unusually weak magnetic fields on the sun. This finding not only solved a mystery that trapped ...

Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS) & the All-Digital TV Broadcast Signal: Connection?
Post Date: 2011-03-03 11:35:18 by CadetD

Ever since first hearing of it last spring, I’ve had a deepening sense of foreboding – an unnamed dread of the upcoming shift to an all-digital television broadcast signal, scheduled to occur in February 2009. Now, I believe, that nameless dread may have a name, after all. The Department of Defense calls it Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS), and it also goes by the name of S-quad or Squad. In the private sector, the technology goes by the name of Silent Subliminal Presentation System and the technology has also been released to certain corporate vendors who have attached catchy brand names like BrainSpeak Silent Subliminals to their own SSSS-based products. Whatever you call ...

Looks like its official, the Air Force won’t be using any type of ICBM to carry conventional warheads around the world at record speed to carry out the Prompt Global Strike mission. There have been lots of questions about how the service would achieve it’s plan hit high value targets on almost any spot on the globe within hours or minutes of a strike being ordered. One option was the notion of a conventional ICBM. A problem with that idea was that a lot of people worried an ICBM launch would be confused as a nuclear first strike. Not something you want to have happen. Now it seems the Air Force has ruled that out. According to Defense News: The U.S. Defense Department’s ...

Thousands of Gmail users have been left with empty inboxes after their accounts were accidentally wiped clean. As well as missing e-mails, many reported that their contacts had also disappeared. Google, which operates Gmail, said that a small percentage of its users had been affected. Some accounts have already been restored, suggesting the data was not permanently deleted. In a statement, Google said: "This is affecting less than .08% of our Gmail user base, and we've already fixed the problem for some individuals." The company said that engineers were working to restore service. Google does not release official figures for the number of Gmail accounts, however it is ...

The letter, written by Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University, to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, warns of a pathogen “new to science” discovered by “a team of senior plant and animal scientists”. Huber says it should be treated as an “emergency’’, as it could result in “a collapse of US soy and corn export markets and significant ...
Iran's Miraculous "Electric-Hydro Car"

With a fair share of the Middle East in turmoil at the moment, Iran's President Ahmadinejad found time to not only condemn the use of violence by the Qaddafi regime in Libya against peaceful protesters -- something his own government resorted to not that long ago -- but to also check out the country's new "electric-hydro" car. The typically sparse news report coming out of Tehran claimed it has a top speed of 180 km per hour and can travel 500 km "with every instance of recharging." Even more impressive -- and totally confusing -- is its 140 watts per hour energy consumption, while weighing 350 kg (771 lbs). Recharge time is either a breakthrough time of between ...

Space weather could pose serious problems here on Earth in the coming years, the chief of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said Saturday (Feb. 19). A severe solar storm has the potential to take down telecommunications and power grids, and the country needs to work on being better prepared, said NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco here at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Lubchenco is also the U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere. "This is not a matter of if, it's simply a matter of when and how big," Lubchenco said of the potential for a dangerous solar flare. "We have every ...

Washington (CNN) -- Rapid advances in communications are eroding police departments' abilities to conduct wiretaps, and Congress needs to take steps to ensure that new telephone, computer and wireless systems are designed to allow lawful police access, FBI and police officials told Congress Thursday. But other witnesses cautioned that any such move could stifle innovation, place U.S. technology companies at a competitive disadvantage and unintentionally create systems vulnerable to hackers, criminals and terrorists. At issue is the diminished capability of law enforcement agencies to conduct quick wiretaps in an age of Twitter accounts, Facebook and MySpace pages, BlackBerrys, ...
