The Mandeans are historically highly suspicious of Moses (Jesus, and Jehovah come to that)

Posted by in categories: law enforcement, materials

Kamose, the last king of the Theban Seventeenth Dynasty, refers to Apepi as a “Chieftain of Retjenu” in a stela that implies a Levantine background for this Hyksos king. A ‘normative inversion’ (cite Maimonides, John Spencer, Freud et al) turns the anti-Kemetic Hyksos monotheistic Set of Avaris into the equally sociopathic plague-maker of Exodus and Genesis. Two sides of the same monotheistic coin? Monotheism takes roots from the banning (and/or eradication) of all rival cults. https://core.ac.uk/reader/45268640

Egyptian accounts support Manetho and his implication that Moses is King Apophis or final Hyksos king Khamudi, “Josephus associated the Hyksos with the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Many modern scholars believe the Hyksos may have partially inspired the Biblical account.” Geraty, L. T. (2015). “Exodus Dates and Theories”. In Thomas E. Levy; Thomas Schneider; William H.C. Propp (eds.). Israel’s Exodus in Transdisciplina ry Perspective: Text, Archaeology, Culture, and Geoscience. Springer. pp. 55–64. ISBN 978−3−319−04768−3.

“This is a great struggle between the truth and the delusion. This whole material world is in reality a prison for our souls, and its creator who is ignorantly revered as the supreme God by the Jews and Christians (and later also Muslims), is in fact a fallen angel, Ptahil, who listened to the whispering of the King of Darkness.”

Robotic exoskeleton gives prosthetic legs a power boost

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, cyborgs, robotics/AI

University of Utah engineers have built a robotic exoskeleton that gives people with prosthetic legs a power boost that makes walking less difficult.

“It’s equivalent to taking off a 26-pound backpack [while walking],” lead researcher Tommaso Lenzi said in a press release. “That is a really big improvement.”

Symmetries Reveal Clues About the Holographic Universe

Posted by in categories: holograms, quantum physics

We’ve known about gravity since Newton’s apocryphal encounter with the apple, but we’re still struggling to make sense of it. While the other three forces of nature are all due to the activity of quantum fields, our best theory of gravity describes it as bent space-time. For decades, physicists have tried to use quantum field theories to describe gravity, but those efforts are incomplete at best.

One of the most promising of those efforts treats gravity as something like a hologram — a three-dimensional effect that pops out of a flat, two-dimensional surface. Currently, the only concrete example of such a theory is the AdS/CFT correspondence, in which a particular type of quantum field theory, called a conformal field theory (CFT), gives rise to gravity in so-called anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. In the bizarre curves of AdS space, a finite boundary can encapsulate an infinite world. Juan Maldacena, the theory’s discoverer, has called it a “universe in a bottle.”

But our universe isn’t a bottle. Our universe is (largely) flat. Any bottle that would contain our flat universe would have to be infinitely far away in space and time. Physicists call this cosmic capsule the “celestial sphere.”

Mike West on human cellular reprograming and rejuvenation (con S/T en Español)

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Excerpt from an interview made by James Ruhle, founder at Simple Biotech, to Michael (Mike) West, founder and CEO of AgeX Therapeutics.

During this 4 minute excerpt, Mike explains in a nutshell the work he and his team at AgeX are doing “to reverse the aging of cells and tissues in the body in the truest and fullest sense of the work”, and clarifies the reasons why it doesn’t mean to convert and adult into a child.
