Hmmm; I did know that the early day astronauts did practice the moon walk near one of the volcanoes in Hawaii.

Since August last year, six scientists have been living isolated from the outside world 8,200 feet up a dormant volcano in Hawaii. Confined to a dome 11 metre wide with a living area of about 1,000 square feet, the team is only allowed to venture outside when wearing NASA spacesuits, just like future astronauts on Mars will have to do.

It is the fourth and longest mission by the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog Simulation (HI-SEAS).

‘The longer each mission becomes, the better we can understand the risks of space travel,’ Kim Binsted, HI-SEAS principal investigator, said at mission launch in August 2015.

Computadores poderão, em breve, adivinhar o que as pessoas estão pensando. Pesquisadores da Universidade de Oregon desenvolveram um sistema capaz de prever frases não ditas somente ao analisar a atividade do cérebro. Em testes a precisão em “adivinhar” os pensamentos foi de 70%.

Os pesquisadores usaram varreduras do cérebro feitas através de resson ncia magnética em 14 participantes, enquanto eles faziam a leitura silenciosa de 240 frases diferentes. Depois disso, os cientistas usaram um sistema para procurar padrões neurais associados a determinadas palavras.

Assim, eles criaram uma espécie de dicionário, conseguindo identificar através do cérebro o uso de determinadas palavras. Mais tarde, foi possível recombinar os padrões de atividade de palavras individuais para prever novas frases construídas com elas.

Those crazy Russians are at it again.

# UFO # Alien – Russia’s Secret UFO War: The Kremlin Has Allegedly Been Fighting A War Against Giant (Video) : Two experts in Russian Ufology claim in a new book that since early in the Soviet era, there have been strange and alarming reports about Russian navy personnel encountering mysterious alien beings and underwater crafts in frozen northern waters, especially in the East Siberian Sea.

Although files and documents pertaining to the sightings and encounters were kept secret, several were leaked to researchers. The leaked documents suggest that the Russian authorities have been struggling secretly for decades with the threat of mysterious alien beings and unidentified submersible objects (USOs) — a term for underwater UFOs — lurking beneath the freezing waters of the Siberian Sea.

“The earliest mention of giant [underwater alien] beings (resembling Shteynberg’s ‘swimmers’) goes back to early 1900’s.”
