First published in September 2017. Environmental modification techniques have been available to the US military for more than half a century. The issue has been amply documented and should be part of the climate change debate. Note: There is no evidence of “weather modification” in relation to recent climatic disturbances (hurricanes), but at the same time there is no firm evidence that this climate instability is attributable to greenhouse gas emissions. The broader issue of environmental modification techniques must be addressed and carefully analyzed. It should also be understood that the instruments of weather warfare are part of the US arsenal of weapons of mass ...

This ancient Chinese tomb held a royal, her extinct ape — and a warning Ben Guarino 7 hrs ago © Provided by WP Company LLC d/b/a The Washington Post A long-forgotten species of ape has been found buried in a 2,300-year-old tomb. It's a type of gibbon, which scientists named Junzi imperialis. Gibbons are the smallest apes, chatty and as lanky-limbed as Kermit the Frog. They're also more closely related to humans than they are to any monkey. And humans, the scientists say, are the likely agents of these gibbons' extinction. Archaeologists excavated the burial site, in the ancient Chinese capital city of Chang’an, now part of modern Xi'an, in 2004. ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Getting robots to do things isn't easy: usually scientists have to either explicitly program them or get them to understand how humans communicate via language. But what if we could control robots more intuitively, using just hand gestures and brainwaves? A new system spearheaded by researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) aims to do exactly that, allowing users to instantly correct robot mistakes with nothing more than brain signals and the flick of a finger. Building off the team's past work focused on simple binary-choice activities, the new work expands the scope to multiple-choice tasks, opening up new ...
Is it possible to control gravitation using an electromagnetic field?
Post Date: 2018-06-21 09:31:53 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
American interest in 'gravity control propulsion research' intensified during the early 1950s. Literature from that period used the terms anti-gravity, anti-gravitation, barycentric, counterbary, electrogravitics (eGrav), G-projects, gravitics, gravity control, and gravity propulsion. Their publicized goals were to develop and discover technologies and theories for the manipulation of gravity or gravity-like fields for propulsion. Although general relativity theory appeared to prohibit anti-gravity propulsion, several programs were funded to develop it through gravitation research from 1955 to 1974. The names of many contributors to general relativity and those of the golden age of ...

Why Lava Flowing From Kilauea Volcano Is Now Hotter, More Fluid By Pam Wright 22 hours ago weather.com 00:40 Lava from the Kilauea Volcano is Now Hotter and Moving Faster Things can change over the course of a volcanic eruption. At a Glance Scientists say the lava flowing from fissure 8 in the lower east rift zone is about as hot as it gets. The hottest lava, which can reach temperatures of more than 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit, is yellow. The upside of the hot, fluid lava flowing from Kilauea now is the natural levees that form, which helps make the flow more predictable. It's been more than a month since Hawaii's Kilauea volcano began spewing out thick, heavy lava from ...

Trump announced that he is ordering the creation of a “Space Force” as a new branch of the military. Among other problems with this proposal is that creating a new branch is entirely unnecessary: But the idea has faced resistance from senior Pentagon officials. Last fall, Rogers and Coopers’ proposal was scrapped after Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein said it would lead to unnecessary costs and bureaucracy. “I oppose the creation of a new military service and additional organizational layers at a time when we are focused on reducing overhead and integrating joint warfighting ...

The IQ scores of young people have begun to fall after rising steadily since the Second World War, according to the first authoritative study of the phenomenon. The decline, which is equivalent to at least seven points per generation, is thought to have started with the cohort born in 1975, who reached adulthood in the early Nineties. … The turning point marks the end of a well-known but poorly understood trend known as the Flynn effect, in which average IQs have risen by about three points a decade for the past 60 or 70 years. “This is the most convincing evidence yet of a reversal of the Flynn effect,” Stuart Ritchie, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh who ...

The latest research is debunking current knowledge about evolution. After studying 5 million genetic barcodes, scientists found 90 percent of species on Earth may have emerged around the same time as humans. Landmark new research that involves analyzing millions of DNA barcodes has debunked much about what we know today about the evolution of species. In a massive genetic study, senior research associate at the Program for the Human Environment at Rockefeller University Mark Stoeckle and University of Basel geneticist David Thaler discovered that virtually 90 percent of all animals on Earth appeared at right around the same time. More specifically, they found out that 9 out of 10 animal ...

The island of Hawaii is built from five separate shield volcanoes that erupted somewhat sequentially, one overlapping the other. These volcanoes are: K+lauea, Mauna Loa, Huallai, Mauna Kea and Kohala. K+lauea is a currently active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, and the most active of the five volcanoes. It has been erupting nearly continuously since 1983 and has caused considerable property damage, including the destruction of the town of Kalapana in 1990. The 2018 lower Puna eruption, which began May 3, over several weeks opened two dozen lava vents downrift from the summit in Puna. The eruption was accompanied by a strong earthquake on May 4 of Mw 6.9, and nearly 2,000 ...

Free Electricity Generator Let’s start with a question and a definition: what is a free electricity generator? There are many complicated scientific definitions and many technical terms to use. However, if we were to find the simplest and the shortest definition possible, the answer would sound something like this: a 100% free energy generating device! More and more people choose to build such a generator in order to produce electric power at zero costs and it seems to be working very well for them. The story of the free power generators starts at the beginning of the 20th century with the amazing innovation of the Serbian-American scientist Nikola Tesla, in the field of what we now ...
Scientist predicts our future will be ‘worse than extinction’

A Russian theoretical physicist has predicted a grim future for our civilization that “is even worse than extinction.” Alexander Berezin, a highly-cited scientist from Russia’s National University of Electronic Technology Research, outlined his bleak prediction in an article entitled 'First to enter, last to leave: a solution to Fermi's paradox'. Fermi’s paradox is the contradiction that’s been maddening scientists for years. The idea that if the universe is so vast, practically guaranteeing the existence of extraterrestrial life, then why hasn’t humanity ever detected a trace of it? Berezin theorizes that alien civilizations may have not ...
New Evidence Reveals a 17,000-Year-Old Coastal Route Into North America
Post Date: 2018-05-30 21:33:00 by Ada

The first people to cross into North America from Eurasia did so by traveling through the Bering Strait, or so the theory goes. A new theory has emerged proposing a coastal route into the continent, but evidence has been lacking. A recent analysis of boulders, bedrock, and fossils in Alaska is now providing a clearer picture, pointing to the emergence of a coastal route some 17,000 years ago. New research published today in Science Advances is offering some of the first geological evidence of an Alaskan coastal migration route that would have made it possible for humans to cross over from Eurasia into North America when the Ice Age was still going strong. Importantly, the paper also ...

C2C... An intriguing new scientific paper proposes that octopuses, as we know them, may have developed their unique characteristics due to an alien intervention. The rather sensational supposition was backed by a whopping 33 scientists who contributed to the study which was published in the journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology. Specifically, they looked at what is known as the 'Cambrian explosion,' a time in the distant past when organisms on Earth suddenly and inexplicably went from single cell species to complex creatures. The researchers postulate that this transformation was fueled by an inadvertent alien intervention through viruses deposited via comets ...
