Roth: The next phase of the Great Reset may bring a ‘Dark Future’

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

If you thought the Great Reset was a lot to process and fight, hang on to your hats. The global elite, never satisfied with their power and always seeking more, have introduced a new phase of their agenda. Called the “Great Narrative,” it capitalizes upon the decay in Western values to realign power. It is not a coincidence that in the World Economic Forum’s “8 Predictions for the World in 2030” video, #2 was “The U.S. won’t be the world’s leading superpower. A handful of countries will dominate” and #8 was “Western values will have been tested to the breaking point.”

This Great Narrative framework is enabled by more than just pure societal malaise. It harnesses advanced technologies, from artificial intelligence to robotics to help shift the power structure in a new world order. Glenn Beck covers this plan and how to fight back in his truly important new book, “Dark Future.”

2D layer of phosphorus pentamers shows semiconductor properties on silver surface

Posted by in categories: computing, particle physics, solar power, sustainability

Phosphorus is an exciting element: It is essential for the survival of organisms and promises numerous electronic applications. With this in mind, researchers at the University of Basel have synthesized two-dimensional layers containing rings of five phosphorus atoms (phosphorus pentamers (cyclo-P5)) on a silver surface.

For the first time, they have been able to investigate their electronic properties using combined atomic force and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. They found that the atomic phosphorus pentamer layer retains its semiconductor properties and forms a special electronic interface where the layer joins the silver surface (p-type semiconductor-metal Schottky junction).

This shows that phosphorus pentamers on the silver surface fulfill a basic requirement for applications in field-effect transistors, diodes or solar cells, as recently reported by the research team in the scientific journal Nature Communications (“Probing charge redistribution at the interface of self-assembled cyclo-P5 pentamers on Ag(111)”).

Donald Hoffman — Consciousness, Mysteries Beyond Spacetime, and Waking up from the Dream of Life

Posted by in categories: mathematics, neuroscience, physics

Professor Donald Hoffman is a cognitive neuroscientist and the author of more than 90 scientific papers and three books, including Visual Intelligence and The Case Against Reality.

He is best known for his theory of consciousness, which combines evolutionary theory with mathematics to make a compelling case that the reality we see every day is an illusion created by our minds.
