Amazing UFO video supports claim of alien base inside Mt Adams, Washington - Honolulu exopolitics | Examiner.com

Amazing UFO video supports claim of alien base inside Mt Adams, Washington - Honolulu exopolitics | Examiner.com: "On August 13, live video was taken of a UFO that emerged out of Mt Adams, Washington State, and flew in the vicinity of 15 people at a private retreat at nearby Trout Lake. According to James Gilliland, owner of the Enlightened Contact with Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ECETI) Retreat, he saw the UFO emerge from what he claims to be a massive ‘interdimensional door” at Mt Adams that is seen as a point of light on the video. The object flew approximately 13 miles towards Gilliland’s ECETI retreat. At one point, the object was only 26 feet above the ground and roughly 50-75 meters away. Gilliland claims that the object is at the very least a UFO, but may be an interdimensional being capable of moving through solid three dimensional objects."

Two Mexican fishermen were recently dragged from their boats and chewed so badly that their bodies could not be identified even by their own families."

Eight Foods that Could be Disastrous for Your Health

foodconsumer.org - Eight Foods that Could be Disastrous for Your Health: "A genetically modified (GM) crop has been found thriving in the wild for the first time in the United States. At the recent Ecological Society of America conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, researchers broke the news that transgenic canola is growing freely in parts of North Dakota. GM crops have spread from cultivated land to the wild in several countries, but they have not previously been found in uncultivated land in the United States.

The scientists behind the discovery say this highlights a lack of proper monitoring and control of GM crops in the United States."

Between Titan’s Icy Surface and Blazing Core, There Just May Be Life | Science Not Fiction | Discover Magazine

Between Titan’s Icy Surface and Blazing Core, There Just May Be Life | Science Not Fiction | Discover Magazine: "While we may have to look to the stars for signs of intelligence, the search for life is a somewhat different — though obviously related — matter and we shouldn’t forget that there are many potential abodes of life with in our own Solar System. Surprisingly many are in the outer solar system, and receive only a faint glimmer of Sol’s life-giving radiation. Given the diversity of extremophile organisms discovered in the depths of Earth’s oceans — as well as other places that would initially seem counter-intuitive — organisms that live their entire lives never seeing a single photon from the Sun, it appears that the presence of liquid water is much more of a requirement for life than is sunlight."

Innovation: Sunrise boulevards could bring clean power - tech - 27 August 2010 - New Scientist

Innovation: Sunrise boulevards could bring clean power - tech - 27 August 2010 - New Scientist: "With many governments now introducing feed-in tariffs – financial incentives for homeowners to install sources of renewable energy – some companies are even offering to install photovoltaic (PV) cells on house roofs for free. But although solar cells are destined to become a more common sight, are rooftops really the best place for them?

Even if the government inducements work, and PV cells end up adorning large portions of the urban skyline, by 2020 they are expected to account for a mere 2 per cent of electricity in the UK. There may, however, be another way to enable PV cells to make a greater contribution: stick them on our roads and drive on them."

Dead Seals with “Corkscrew” Cuts in Scotland and England --(Warning - graphic images)

Company presses your ashes into vinyl when you die

Company presses your ashes into vinyl when you die: "Music lovers can now be immortalised when they die by having their ashes baked into vinyl records to leave behind for loved ones.

A UK company called And Vinyly is offering people the chance to press their ashes in a vinyl recording of their own voice, their favourite tunes or their last will and testament. Minimalist audiophiles might want to go for the simple option of having no tunes or voiceover, and simply pressing the ashes into the vinyl to result in pops and crackles."

GMO Food Allergies

GMO Food Allergies: "Could your allergies be caused by genetically modified foods?
In the last twenty years, there has been an epidemic increase in allergies, asthma, auto-immune disorders, ADHD, and autism, Today, it is estimated that 20% of American children have allergies, and that there has been a:

*400% increase in food allergies

*300% increase in asthma, with a 56% increase in asthma deaths
*400% increase in ADHD and between a 1,500 and 6,000% increase in autism.

What could be responsible for this increase in allergies and auto-immune disorders?

Very good research has it that it is caused by the genetically modified foods we are eating."

Scientists: We've Cracked Wheat's Genetic Code - ABC News

Scientists: We've Cracked Wheat's Genetic Code - ABC News: "British scientists have decoded the genetic sequence of wheat — one of the world's oldest and most important crops — a development they hope could help the global staple meet the challenges of climate change, disease and population growth.

Wheat is grown across more of the world's farmland than any other cereal, and researchers said Friday they're posting its genetic code to the Internet in the hope that scientists can use it as a tool to improve farmers' harvests. One academic in the field called the discovery 'a landmark.'

'The wheat genome is the holy grail of plant genomes,' said Nick Talbot, a professor of biosciences at the University of Exeter who wasn't involved in the research. 'It's going to really revolutionize how we breed it.'"

Genetically Modified Soy Linked to Sterility, Infant Mortality

ShowArticle - Institute for Responsible Technology: "'This study was just routine,' said Russian biologist Alexey V. Surov, in what could end up as the understatement of this century. Surov and his colleagues set out to discover if Monsanto's genetically modified (GM) soy, grown on 91% of US soybean fields, leads to problems in growth or reproduction. What he discovered may uproot a multi-billion dollar industry.

After feeding hamsters for two years over three generations, those on the GM diet, and especially the group on the maximum GM soy diet, showed devastating results. By the third generation, most GM soy-fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies. They also suffered slower growth, and a high mortality rate among the pups.

And if this isn't shocking enough, some in the third generation even had hair growing inside their mouths—a phenomenon rarely seen, but apparently more prevalent among hamsters eating GM soy."

GM salmon may go on sale in US after public consultation | Environment | The Guardian

GM salmon may go on sale in US after public consultation | Environment | The Guardian: "US authorities today began the process to approve the first GM animal for human consumption.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a 60-day period of consultation and public meetings over whether to permit a GM strain of salmon to be eaten by humans, even though it has been called a 'frankenfish' by critics. The approval process could take less than a year, and if it gets the green light the fish could be on the market in 18 months."

Monsanto in Gates' Clothing? The Emperor's New GMOs

Eric Holt Gimenez: Monsanto in Gates' Clothing? The Emperor's New GMOs: "If you had any doubts about where the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is really placing its bets, AGRA Watch's recent announcement of the Foundation's investment of $23.1 million in 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock should put them to rest. Genetic engineering: full speed ahead.

If you are one of those people who believes the axiom that Monsanto is the farmer's friend (and the corollary, that its climate-ready, bio-fortified GMOs can save the world from hunger) you will not be surprised, disappointed, or find any conflict of interest in this investment.

But if you are part of the growing population who gets their information about GMOs from scientists who are not beholden to corporate funding, has a problem with anti-trust issues, or is getting queasy about the increasing monopoly power of philanthropy capital... it's time to say the Emperor has no clothes."

Are We Too Plugged In? Distracted vs. Enhanced Minds | Singularity Hub

Are We Too Plugged In? Distracted vs. Enhanced Minds | Singularity Hub: "My smart phone can let me access the collective knowledge of humanity from almost anywhere, but is that access making me smarter or simply less focused? Every day I see people texting while in line at a store, using their laptops in parks, or chatting on the phone to loved ones while they walk. No matter where we go, we seem to stay plugged in. And while plugged in, we consume. According to the New York Times, Americans took in three times as much data in 2008 as they did in 1960. We multitask, trying to absorb different media streams (Twitter, email, Facebook, etc) at once, and new evidence shows that multitasking isn’t simply making us more efficient, it’s also making us more stressed, and less discerning. It seems possible our brains may have a practical restriction to how much data they can and should process. Is the growing digital age doomed to fail due to our own mental limits? No, but we need to acknowledge the necessity and benefits of unplugging."

Quiet Sun leads to upper atmosphere collapse | COSMOS magazine

Quiet Sun leads to upper atmosphere collapse | COSMOS magazine: "WASHINGTON: The upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere are unexpectedly shrinking and cooling due to lower ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, U.S. scientists said.

The Sun's energy output dropped to unusually low levels from 2007 to 2009, a significantly long spell with virtually no sunspots or solar storms, according to scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.

During that period, the thermosphere, whose altitude ranges from about 90 to 500 kilometers, shrank and contracted from the sharp drop in ultraviolet radiation, said the study published in Geophysical Research Letters."

Sun storm to hit with 'force of 100m bombs' | News.com.au

Sun storm to hit with 'force of 100m bombs' | News.com.au: "AFTER 10 years of comparative slumber, the sun is waking up - and it's got astronomers on full alert.

This week several US media outlets reported that NASA was warning the massive flare that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet's power grid.

NASA has since rebutted those reports, saying it could come '100 years away or just 100 days', but an Australian astronomer says the space community is betting on the sooner scenario rather than the latter.

Despite its rebuttal, NASA's been watching out for this storm since 2006 and reports from the US this week claim the storms could hit on that most Hollywood of disaster dates - 2012."

Extreme Weather Warning - World - Macleans.ca: "Last week, after rampant forest fires had decimated thousands of hectares of his homeland, and burned alive dozens of his countrymen, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin boarded an amphibious aircraft to witness the blazes for himself. Within a few minutes of sitting in the passenger compartment, Putin—never one to resist a fight, or a photo op for that matter—strode briskly to the cockpit and assumed the co-pilot’s seat and headset. Upon direction, Putin, who doesn’t have his flying licence, swooped down and drew 12 tonnes of water from the Oka River, and then doused the scorching forests beneath, extinguishing two fires. All this in 30 minutes."

Synthetic corneas prove successful - latimes.com

Synthetic corneas prove successful - latimes.com: "An experimental synthetic cornea implanted in 10 patients may be a potential alternative to cadaver corneas for curing vision loss due to corneal inflammation and scarring, researchers said Wednesday.

Eye surgeons currently use primarily cadaver corneas for transplants, but that requires the use of anti-rejection drugs and presents a risk of infection. Plastic corneas can also be used, but they present other problems and are generally tried only when tissue transplants have failed.

The new artificial corneas use collagen produced in yeast as a scaffolding that allows cells from the recipient to grow into the graft so that it mimics the original tissue. The two-year preliminary test showed that the biosynthetic corneas restored vision as effectively as cadaver corneas, did not require anti-rejection drugs and allowed normal tears to form."

Aliens may be using thinking robots

Aliens may be using thinking robots: "Aliens could be operating through sentient robots and the hunt for extraterrestrial life should take this possibility into account, a leading astronomer has said.

Seth Shostak, of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in California, said humans had a greater chance of picking up signals from alien-operated robots than from the biological lifeforms that had created them.

The quest to find alien life so far has generally followed standard rules of biochemistry, working on the assumption that detectable extraterrestrial beings would be biologically 'alive'."

Orange Orbs: Then and Now | UFO Digest provides video proof of ufos, alien abduction and the paranormal.: "After I saw the orange orb UFO in the 1980s -- the one that propelled me into the world of UFOs and Fortean, esoteric topics (falling down the rabbit hole) I became obsessed with the UFO; its origins, its intent, etc. What was it that I saw that night? It was all so odd; the size of the thing, the fact that it followed us, -- seemed to be waiting for us -- the missing time, the dreams that followed, the fear, the apathy, the telepathic communications.

I went to the local library, reading literally every book the library had on UFOs. And, on aviation. And, on debunking UFOs. Anything to do with UFOs, flying saucers, space ships, planes, unexplained phenomena. I didn't find anything in any of the books that came close to what I saw. If I found an account of an sphere shaped craft, it wasn't described as orange. If I came across a sighting of an orange light, well, it was red, or reddish orange, or yellowish, and small, and usually attached to a larger object. But not what I saw that night in Oregon."

In a world first, Spence and a team of engineers and eye specialists developed an eye-camera, a miniature camera and wireless transmitter fitted into his eye."

US military's top secret X-37B shuttle 'disappears' for two weeks, changes orbit | News.com.au: "AMATEUR astronomers are enjoying a cat-and-mouse game with the US military in keeping track of its secret space plane, the X-37B.

The X-37B was launched in April amid much publicity, but scant detail about its true use.

Built by Boeing's Phantom Works division, the X-37B program was originally headed by NASA.

It was later turned over to the Pentagon's research and development arm and then to a secretive Air Force unit.

Only a very select few in the US military know what it's for, but observers on Earth believe they're putting together the puzzle piece by piece.

Several sources claim quote arms control advocates who say it's clearly the beginning of the 'weaponisation of space'."

8 Reasons Genetically Modified Organisms are Bad for You | Foodie Buzz

8 Reasons Genetically Modified Organisms are Bad for You | Foodie Buzz: "Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are created when a gene from one species is transferred to another, creating something that would not be found in nature.

A large percentage of domestic crops (up to 85% of soybean yields) have DNA that was tweaked in a lab, yet it is nearly impossible to know which food items contain these genetically engineered ingredients. Thankfully new mobile phone apps are making it a bit easier for the consumer to know what she is eating, but this is not enough.

GMOs are bad for your body, bad for the community, bad for farmers and bad for the environment."

List of eight reasons follows....

Space Warfare: Preparing the "Battlespace" for A New Imperial Adventure - BlackListed News

Space Warfare: Preparing the "Battlespace" for A New Imperial Adventure - BlackListed News: "Last spring, Antifascist Calling reported on the launch of the Pentagon's secretive X-37B mini space shuttle, a 29-foot long unmanned orbital test vehicle (OTV).

Built by Boeing Corporation, the multibillion dollar project was the culmination of a decades-long dream of Pentagon space warriors: to field a reusable spacecraft that combines an airplane's agility with the means to travel at 5 miles per second in orbit.

After the craft's successful April 22 launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) denied that the X-37B was a prototype for a near-earth weapons platform.

Back in 2005 however, The New York Times reported that General Lance W. Lord, then commander of AFSPC, told an Air Force conference that 'space superiority is not our birthright, but it is our destiny. ... Space superiority is our day-to-day mission. Space supremacy is our vision for the future.'

And with no public debate whatsoever, new weapons programs spawned in the bowels of the Pentagon's black budget parallel universe are on coming on-line."

Steve Jobs Is Watching You: Apple Seeking to Patent Spyware | Electronic Frontier Foundation

Steve Jobs Is Watching You: Apple Seeking to Patent Spyware | Electronic Frontier Foundation: "It looks like Apple, Inc., is exploring a new business opportunity: spyware and what we're calling 'traitorware.' While users were celebrating the new jailbreaking and unlocking exemptions, Apple was quietly preparing to apply for a patent on technology that, among other things, would allow Apple to identify and punish users who take advantage of those exemptions or otherwise tinker with their devices. This patent application does nothing short of providing a roadmap for how Apple can — and presumably will — spy on its customers and control the way its customers use Apple products. As Sony-BMG learned, spying on your customers is bad for business. And the kind of spying enabled here is especially creepy — it's not just spyware, it's 'traitorware,' since it is designed to allow Apple to retaliate against you if you do something Apple doesn't like."

That's no big deal (unless the scientist is you), since research is self-correcting. Consequently, most errors by scientists become historical curiosities, with little long-term importance.

But some research flubs can have a silver lining. Exhibit A: the famous canals on Mars.

The century-old claims that our little ruddy buddy was veined with a network of waterways turned out to be false. Today, we know that the actual martian landscape is a cratered, howling wasteland. But this false premise demonstrated something important - something that people have forgotten; namely, that the public won't go nuts if we find intelligent life in space."

Alien solar system is like ours ... only weirder - Technology & science - Space - Space.com - msnbc.com: "Astronomers have discovered a group of at least five planets — with hints of two more — circling around a star in an arrangement similar to our own solar system. Confirmation of the extra planets would make this the highest tally of alien worlds ever spotted around a single star. The planets and their own sunlike star are about 127 light-years from Earth, astronomers with the European Southern Observatory said. It is one of just 15 planetary systems known to have more than three worlds. The five planets circle their parent star, HD 10180, in a regular pattern like the planets of our solar system, only in a more compact arrangement, the researchers said."

Greek Archaeologists Claim They Discovered Odysseus' Palace - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency

Bulgaria: Greek Archaeologists Claim They Discovered Odysseus' Palace - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency: "Greek archaeologists have claimed they have found the palace of Odysseus during excavations on the Ithaca island in the Ionian Sea.

On Tuesday, the archaeologist, Thanasis Papadopulos, who has been leading the excavation team on Odysseus' home island for 16 years, said that he knew the right place of the remains since 2006.

“We found the ruins of a three-level palace with a staircase carved into the rock,” Papadopulos said, adding that they also found a well, dating back to 13th century BC, when the Trojan War is believed to have taken place.

According to the archaeologist, the discoveries are identical to the ones described in Homer's Odyssey, presumably written about 8th century BC."

Clothing that doubles as batteries could be a boon to soldiers

Clothing that doubles as batteries could be a boon to soldiers: "Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a virus in order to design rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that could be woven into clothing to power portable electronic devices. Not only could these batteries be incorporated into fabric, but they could also be poured or sprayed into containers of any size or shape, thus allowing the shells or other parts of devices to double as their power source. MIT believes such batteries would be particularly beneficial to soldiers, who commonly have to carry several pounds of batteries to run their various gizmos. This development is reminiscent of the University of California’s nanogenerator-enabled clothing that harnesses power from the wearer’s movements, and could perhaps even be combined with such technology."

Trans-Humanism - One Step to Being 'gods'. - The Tamar Yonah Show - Blogs - Israel National News: "The term 'transhumanism' is symbolized by H or h and is often used as a synonym for 'human enhancement'.

In this 'Tower of Babel' crazy quest of mankind to climb to heaven, dethrone G-d and make themselves gods, we are talking about the attempt to erase all borders, national sovereignties, sexual borders and identity, the combining of robotic technology with the human brain, etc.

My guest for this show, Elad from Conspil.com shows on his website an article from an Israeli magazine with an interview with Shimon Peres (today the president of Israel). Those who are familiar with Peres have seen signs of a deep NWO ideology as he talks about the non-importance of land-borders, and his belief in 'technology' to solve the world's problems."

GMO Corn May Turn Your Tummy Into a Poison Production Factory | All247News

GMO Corn May Turn Your Tummy Into a Poison Production Factory | All247News: "The biotechnology industries are quite proud of their pest-resistant, genetically modified (GMO) corn and other crops. When you hear the term ‘pest-resistant’, you might not think, at first, of what that truly means — that the modified plants are creating their own pesticide inside their cells. In short, the plants kill the bugs that eat them, so the bugs learn not to eat them. Of course, that means that humans who consume the pest-resistant GMO corn are consuming pesticide with every bite, but it’s pesticide from inside the corn, so you can’t wash it off. Biotech companies claim that the toxin that their GMO plants create isn’t dangerous to humans, but many studies show otherwise."

Secrets of the swarm - Science, News - The Independent

Secrets of the swarm - Science, News - The Independent: "Insects, birds, fish – they're not the most intelligent of beasts, right?

Creepy crawlies or aquatic creatures are the ones humans feel furthest from; unlike many mammals, they don't engage behaviour that is easy to anthropomorphise. We rarely think that an ant is endearing, see a human likeness in a starling, or signs of intelligence in a trout.

The way they swarm or flock together doesn't usually get good press either. Marching like worker ants might be a common simile for city commuters, but it's a damning, not aspirational, image. Yet a new school of scientific theory suggests that these swarms might have a lot to teach us. The way natural groups, such as ant colonies, behave can offer us problem-solving techniques applicable to business, political or social situations."

They call for a national operative who works out of a small, unmarked office in the southern city of Toulouse. He arrives on the scene swiftly and begins making subtle inquiries, wary as always of spreading panic among the public.

The investigator in this real-life Gallic version of “The X-Files” is Yvan Blanc, a diminutive, balding, 57-year-old engineer who bears a striking resemblance to former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Until last year, Blanc was a project manager helping launch the European Space Agency’s Herschel Observatory, a job he thought might cap a three-decade career at the French national space agency CNES. Then he got an unexpected offer: to head up the Group for the Study and Information on Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena, or GEIPAN—the French government’s UFO office."

Alien hunters 'should look for artificial intelligence'

BBC News - Alien hunters 'should look for artificial intelligence': "Both Dr Shostak and Dr Elliott concede that finding and decoding any eventual message from such alien thinking machines may prove more difficult than in the 'biological' case, but the idea does provide new directions to look.

Dr Shostak says that artificially intelligent alien life would be likely to migrate to places where both matter and energy - the only things he says would be of interest to the machines - would be in plentiful supply. That means the Seti hunt may need to focus its attentions near hot, young stars or even near the centres of galaxies.

'I think we could spend at least a few percent of our time... looking in the directions that are maybe not the most attractive in terms of biological intelligence but maybe where sentient machines are hanging out.'"

The NWO knows that almost none of the police or military are actually going to turn on the citizens of their own country and enforce martial law and a police state. This is why (IMO) that robots are a crucial factor to the success of the NWO. intelligent humanoid robots are exactly what the NWO needs in order to police and enslave everyone."

Technology Review: A 'Kill Switch' for Rogue Microbes

Technology Review: A 'Kill Switch' for Rogue Microbes: "Biologists often speak of switching genes on and off to give microbes new abilities--like producing biofuels or drugs, or gobbling up environmental toxins. For the most part, though, it's nearly impossible to turn off a gene without deleting it (which means you can't turn it on again). This limits biologists' ability to control how much of a particular protein a microbe produces. It also restricts bioengineers' ability to design new microbes."

Today, such unknown animals, like the Yeti or Sasquatch are called “cryptids,” meaning simply that they are hidden or little understood, if they exist at all. Although new types of animals and plants are discovered all the time, usually the animals are insects or other small creatures, but sometimes, as with the discovery of a new species of ungulate in northern Vietnam a few years ago, they are quite large. And new species are discovered fairly regularly in the oceans, which average about three miles in depth and cover very roughly three quarters of our planet. Even large and previously unknown varieties of shark and squid are found from time to time."

How much mass makes a black hole? Astronomers challenge current theories

How much mass makes a black hole? Astronomers challenge current theories: "ScienceDaily (Aug. 19, 2010) — Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, European astronomers have for the first time demonstrated that a magnetar -- an unusual type of neutron star -- was formed from a star with at least 40 times as much mass as the Sun. The result presents great challenges to current theories of how stars evolve, as a star as massive as this was expected to become a black hole, not a magnetar. This now raises a fundamental question: just how massive does a star really have to be to become a black hole?"

Closing in on the inflaton, mother of the universe - physics-math - 18 August 2010 - New Scientist

Closing in on the inflaton, mother of the universe - physics-math - 18 August 2010 - New Scientist: "The inflaton particle is credited with generating the universe and fuelling its inflation. It has yet to be discovered, but it is fast running out of hiding places, thanks to the theoretical framework known as supersymmetry (SUSY).

Enormous and mainly extinct, supersymmetric particles are the dinosaurs of particle physics. Each of these 'sparticles' is the partner of a known particle, and they have already solved several cosmological problems, including smoothing the way for a long-sought grand unified theory of physics.

Now two theories suggest that some sparticles might also be components of the elusive inflaton, which is thought to have driven space-time apart at the dawn of the universe."

Genetically Manipulated Crops: The GMO Catastrophe in the USA. A Lesson for the World

Genetically Manipulated Crops: The GMO Catastrophe in the USA. A Lesson for the World: "The ecological time-bomb that came with the GMO according to Ho, is about to explode. Over several years of constant application of patented glyphosate herbicides such as Monsanto’s famous and highly Roundup, new herbicide-resistant “super-weeds” have evolved, nature’s response to man-made attempts to violate it. The super-weeds require significantly more not less herbicide to control.

ABC Television, a major US national network, made a recent documentary about the super-weeds under the rubric, “super weeds that can’t be killed.”

They interviewed farmers and scientists across Arkansas who described fields overrun with giant pigweed plants that can withstand as much glyphosate as farmers are able to spray. They interviewed one farmer who spent almost €400000 in only three months in a failed attempt to kill the new super-weeds."

The solar wind could strip away the planet's atmosphere if the magnetosphere, a magnetic bubble surrounding the planet, didn't help deflect it.

Do We Dare Let Aliens Know We're Here?

SPACE.com -- Do We Dare Let Aliens Know We're Here?: "SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Even if humanity could reach out to an intelligent alien civilization, scientists are polarized over whether we should.

Famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking has argued that the extraterrestrials we contacted would be likely to harm us, a view that divided the experts here at the SETIcon convention.

'No one can say that there is no risk to transmitting,' John Billingham, former chairman of the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Committee of the International Academy of Astronautics, said via a statement read at the convention Sunday. 'Personally, I agree with Hawking and think it may be unwise to transmit.'

However, Douglas Vakoch, director of interstellar message composition at the SETI Institute, said of aliens: 'Even if they tend to be hateful, awful folks, can they do us any harm at interstellar distances?'"

GOGBOT 2010

Beyond The Beyond: "PLANETART presents GOGBOT 2010; Singularity: Multimedial art of the future in the present.

From September 9th to 12th The city centre of Enschede will once again be dominated by the annual art, music and technology festival GOGBOT, presented by PLANETART. Technological and scientific advances are accelerating and will - within a few decades - culminate in the demise of the biological man; a theme that is also referred to as Singularity. At GOGBOT 2010 you will for four days full of multimedia, music, interactive installations, nanotech, film, artificial intelligence and the Beauty Salon of the Future be immersed in a world in which humanity has been relegated to the status of pet by ever more intelligent machines, as: The Singularity is Near, Resistance is Futile. GOGBOT 2010 Festival is held free of charge at more than ten locations across Enschede, except for the evening program at Atak."

Reverse-Engineering of Human Brain Likely by 2020

Reverse-Engineering of Human Brain Likely by 2020: "Reverse-engineering the human brain so we can simulate it using computers may be only a decade away, says Ray Kurzweil, artificial intelligence expert and author of the best-selling book The Singularity is Near.

It would be the first step toward creating machines that are more powerful than the human brain. These supercomputers could be networked into a cloud computing architecture to amplify their processing capabilities. Meanwhile, algorithms that power them could get more intelligent. Together these could create the ultimate machine that can help us handle the challenges of the future, says Kurzweil.

This point where machines surpass human intelligence has been called the 'singularity.' It's a term that Kurzweil helped popularize through his book."

"L2" - Ground Zero in the Search for Dark Energy a Million Kilometers from Earth

"L2" - Ground Zero in the Search for Dark Energy a Million Kilometers from Earth: "The spiral galaxy NGC 4258, 25 million light-years away, shown in the image left, is one of many that contain visible Type Ia supernovae, which astronomers use to tell how fast the universe is expanding. Ten years ago in May astronomers announced that the universe's expansion is speeding up thanks to dark energy, a mysterious 'antigravity' that makes up 74 percent of the universe."

Rare Neutron Star Eruption Offers Clues to Mystery of Its Core

Rare Neutron Star Eruption Offers Clues to Mystery of Its Core: "A pulsar system known as Swift J1749.4-2807 -- J1749 for short -- erupted with an X-ray outburst on April 10th. During the event, RXTE observed three eclipses, detected X-ray pulses that identified the neutron star as a pulsar, and even recorded pulse variations that indicated the neutron star's orbital motion. The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), launched on December 30, 1995 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, is managed and controlled by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to explore the variability of X-ray sources."
