More on Eugenics: What Fun
Post Date: 2016-09-04 21:24:11 by Ada

Most considerations of eugenics, before wobbling off into discussions of Hitler, deal with intelligence and physical characteristics, notably health and strength. By those who constitute the best argument for eugenics, eugenics is usually interpreted as a means of oppressing the poor, maltreating the more bedraggled minorities, and euthanizing the retarded. Most commentators on the matter would be endangered by the latter, so I understand their concern. However, behavior may be a more important field for eugenic consideration. Herewith a few ruminations, offering more questions than answers. See what you think. Most of the gravest problems facing humanity today have existed since at ...

C2C...The tantalizing space signal which made headliners earlier this week has been demystified after astronomers in Russia determined that it was of terrestrial origin. News of the signal set off a brief firestorm over the weekend as SETI scientists sprung into action in an effort to locate the anomaly once again. Perhaps indicative of just how ready the world is to hear from ET, the story spread like wildfire as millions hopes that perhaps this was the breakthrough we've been waiting for all this time. Alas, it turns out that the 'call' was yet another wrong number in the endless game of telephone between humans and aliens. The furor was enough to force astronomers working ...
Video: UFO Causes SpaceX Rocket Explosion?

C2C... The fiery explosion of a SpaceX rocket on Thursday has drawn the attention of conspiracy theorists who contend that the disastrous event was caused by a UFO! In observing footage of the blast, numerous anomaly watchers noted, when slowed down, a dark, distinct orb can be seen zipping across the sky moments before the explosion erupts. Skeptics, of course, say that the oddity is merely a bird or insect, but conspiracy theorists suggest otherwise, suggesting that the sheer speed of the object precludes such a prosaic explanation. For their part, SpaceX says that the explosion was caused by a mishap during fueling, although conceded that the specific incident which sparked the ...

Inside the mind of a PSYCHOPATH: Researchers find they do feel fear - but don't recognise danger
Post Date: 2016-09-03 09:00:10 by Ada

Inability to experience fear has been thought to drive psychopaths' actions But, researchers say these individuals may actually feel the emotion Rather than lacking fear, they struggle to recognize and respond to threat Psychopaths are known to be manipulative and callous towards others, with severe emotional disturbances driving their antisocial actions. Neuroscientists have long attributed this behaviour to a general lack of fear – but according to a new study, psychopaths might not be as fearless as once thought. Researchers have found that these individuals may actually experience this emotion, but fall short in their ability to recognize and respond to threats. ...
In 1975, a cat co-authored a physics paper

ScienceAlert... Let’s be real here - getting research papers published is hard. But what if you could use your cat to cut through all that bureaucracy and get your paper into the journal of your choice. You’d give it a shot, right? It wouldn’t fly now, but back in 1975, it was a whole different story, because a cat named F.D.C. Willard was the co-author of a peer-reviewed physics paper called "Two-, Three-, and Four-Atom Exchange Effects in bcc 3He." Published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the paper describes the results of an experiment exploring the behaviour of the helium-3 isotope at various temperatures. Conducted by Jack H. Hetherington, a ...
Flat Earth PsyOp is the Real Conspiracy

TMR Editor’s Note: There is perhaps no greater Internet-wide PSYOP than the CIA-directed Flat Earth Conspiracy (FEC). This covert black operation has London’s notorious Tavistock Institute written all over it. The Millennium Report has posted extensively on this extremely effective PSYOP since its inception. We have felt compelled to address it one last time because of a number of prominently configured truth-tellers who either subscribe to the FEC utter nonsense or who provide a safe haven to discuss their absurd and distracting ‘theories’. How is it that some major alternative news websites even host the ridiculous ramblings of Flat Earthers … … ...
The Myth of the Bee-pocalypse

...........Riding the buzz over dying bees, the Obama administration announced the creation of a pollinator-health task force to develop a “federal strategy” to promote honeybees and other pollinators. The task force unveiled its long- awaited plan, the National Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators. The plan aims to reduce honeybee-colony losses to “sustainable” levels and create 7 million acres of pollinator-friendly habitat. It also calls for more than $82 million in federal funding to address pollinator health. But here’s something you probably haven’t heard: there are more honeybee colonies in the United States today than ...

3.7-billion-year-old fossils may be the oldest signs of life on Earth

Australian researchers Allen Nutman and Vickie Bennett hold a 3.7-billion-year-old fossilized stromatolite from Isua, Greenland. (Yuri Amelin) Scientists probing a newly exposed, formerly snow-covered outcropping in Greenland claim they have discovered the oldest fossils ever seen, the remnants of microbial mats that lived 3.7 billion years ago. It's a stunning announcement in a scientific field that is always contentious. But if confirmed, this would push the established fossil record more than 200 million years deeper into the Earth’s early history, and provide support for the view that life appeared very soon after the Earth formed and may be commonplace throughout the ...
In space, Scott Kelly aged slower than his brother on Earth - and here's why

ScienceAlert... Here's something to wrap your head around: when astronaut Scott Kelly went into space and his slightly older twin brother Mark stayed on Earth, the age gap between them increased, thanks to Scott's time in orbit. Bizarre, right? And it's all down to Einstein's revolutionary theory of relativity. What Einstein's theory suggests - and what evidence has since backed up - is that time moves more slowly for objects in motion than it does for a stationary observer. It also moves more slowly the closer you are to a gravitational mass like Earth. In other words, we're not all experiencing time at the same rate. The faster you move and accelerate, the ...
Study: Large thunderstorms spread mercury pollution

"The mercury is being transported into our region by winds, and tall thunderstorms are bringing it down to Earth," researcher Christopher Holmes explained. A bolt of lightning strikes near One World Trade Center in lower Manhattan as a thunder storm moves through the New York City area on August 16, 2016. New research suggests large thunderstorms play an outsized role in transporting mercury from the atmosphere to the ground.

C2C... News that a Russian observatory detected an unexplained radio signal emanating from a distant sun-like star has SETI scientists springing into action. The mysterious signal was apparently discovered by scientists at Russia's RATAN-600 radio telescope in May of 2015. For reasons unexplained, the find was not made public until this past weekend, which SETI lead astronomer Seth Shostak found to be a rather curious decision. In an email to the website GeekWire, Shostak noted that the ideal scenario, upon discovering such a signal, would be for another telescope to confirm the find. Fortunately, now that other researchers are aware of the mysterious signal, that is just what they ...

Someday, this world's gonna end. So we have to get off it. The good news is that we have some time to solve a couple major problems: finding another habitable planet and developing the technology to get us there. Although we did manage to make it through the Cold War without a nuclear holocaust, we keep inventing new possibilities for self-destruction. So there's that to consider. But it's a fact: Our sun, like all stars, will eventually burn out. Setting aside the ever-present (and, right now, waxing) possibility that we do ourselves in, about 5 billion years from now, the sun will expand and engulf the inner planets of the solar system. Eventually, Earth will be ...

'A lit fuse': Ancient carbon slowly seeping from permafrost could ignite
Post Date: 2016-08-26 05:21:30 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
RT... Slowly melting permafrost is seeping ancient carbon into the atmosphere in what researchers describe as a slowly ticking climate change time bomb. The paper, published in Nature Geoscience on Monday, confirms that the thawing permafrost is releasing gases which have been trapped in ice for thousands of years as climate-warming greenhouse gases. By subjecting gas captured from lakes in Alaska, Siberia and Canada to radiocarbon dating, researchers from the University of Alaska Fairbanks found the gas had been generated from carbon stored up to 30,000 years ago.

Last week, following the news that a previously unknown hacker collective, "The Shadow Brokers" had hacked and released legitimate hacking tools from the NSA's own special-ops entity, the "Equation Group", initial speculation that Russians may have penetrated the US spy agency - suggested by none other than Edward Snowden - shifted to the suggestion that the agency may be housing another "mole" insider. As we noted on Thursday, a former NSA source told Motherboard, that “it’s plausible” that the leakers are actually a disgruntled insider, claiming that it’s easier to walk out of the NSA with a ...

PressTV... A US federal judge in Miami has sentenced a California woman to over four years of imprisonment for conspiring to export American military equipment, including warplane engines and a drone aircraft, to China. The judge sentenced 45-year-old Wenxia Man, a naturalized US citizen from San Diego, on Friday after a jury convicted her in June of conspiring to export military gear to China without the proper license, AP reported Saturday. Citing federal prosecutors, the report points to evidence that shows Man collaborated with somebody in China to export engines used in F-135, F-22 and F-16 fighter jets as well as an MQ-9 Reaper drone aircraft -- worth $50 million -- capable of ...

Researchers accidentally discovered a new type of blue fire that could prove valuable when cleaning up major oil spills. The fire was detected while researchers investigated uses for fire whirls, also known as firenados. Faculty members from the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering were initially working to understand the burning dynamics of fire whirls on water. During their experiment, they discovered an eco-friendly "blue whirl," which had transitioned from a standard yellow flame. The optimal, clean burning of the blue fire could be valuable when it comes to cleaning up oil spills and meeting worldwide demand for high-efficiency, low-emission ...

On Aug. 23, 2011, those living in eastern North America, from Ontario to Georgia, felt an unexpected shock as the earth trembled in the wake of a 5.8 magnitude earthquake that struck near the town of Mineral, Virginia, around 2 p.m. local time. A notable quake with a magnitude of 4.0 or higher east of the Rockies is a rarity, according to USGS reports. However, a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Solid Earth is shedding light on the likely causes behind the event and may indicate that there are more to come.
