Something strange is going on with the North Star

Posted by in categories: internet, neuroscience, surveillance

Electromagnetic radiation, radar, and surveillance technology are used to transfer sounds and thoughts into people’s brain. UN started their investigation after receiving thousands of testimonies from so-called “targeted individuals” (TIs).”


Magnus Olsson, Geneva 8 March 2020

UN Human Rights Council (HRC) Special Rapporteur on torture revealed during the 43rd HRC that Cyber technology is not only used for internet and 5G. It is also used to target individuals remotely – through intimidation, harassment and public shaming.

Novel error-correction scheme developed for quantum computers

Posted by in categories: computing, particle physics, quantum physics

Scientists in Australia have developed a new approach to reducing the errors that plague experimental quantum computers; a step that could remove a critical roadblock preventing them scaling up to full working machines.

By taking advantage of the infinite geometric space of a particular quantum system made up of bosons, the researchers, led by Dr. Arne Grimsmo from the University of Sydney, have developed quantum correction codes that should reduce the number of physical quantum switches, or qubits, required to scale up these machines to a useful size.

“The beauty of these codes is they are ‘platform agnostic’ and can be developed to work with a wide range of quantum hardware systems,” Dr. Grimsmo said.

Is Aging a Disease? | LifeXtenShow

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Nicola Bagalà is one of the best advocates of rejuvenation therapies that I know. I follow him since he did a blog called “Rejuvenaction” some years ago. In this video, he discusses in a profound way a very important question. I ask everybody of the rejuvenation community: don’t miss this video, let’s spread it on YouTube, Facebook and social media, and let’s give this video the audience it needs and deserves. It’s not everyday we have such opportunity.


Does biological aging qualify as a disease? Does this affect the development of therapies that treat and prevent age-related diseases? Here’s Nicola’s take on the subject.

Watching the News Can Be Traumatizing

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

The vicarious trauma is a real thing it carries on through cultural norms and also gestures. When there is a lot crime it carries on like a memetic virus through human beings. Which why we need to promote good vibes.


Viewing troubling media may lead to vicarious trauma in adults and children.

Universal Basic Income Has Been Tried Before. It Didn’t Work

Posted by in categories: economics, Elon Musk, government

Those calling for a government-funded universal basic income are acting as though it’s a hot new idea. It’s not. It’s been tried before—and it didn’t work.

In essence, universal basic income—also known as guaranteed minimum income—provides cash payments to all citizens, regardless of need.

Advocates range from tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to libertarian scholar Charles Murray.

An engineered cell-laden adhesive hydrogel promotes craniofacial bone tissue regeneration in rats

Researchers have found that homeowners who seed their lawns with a special grass mix can feed dozens of species of bees that would otherwise go hungry. So, beginning this spring, Minnesota will pay thousands of residents to plant “bee lawns” under a new state program that has attracted attention from other states. Each homeowner will get as much as $350 to do the work.


Why grass mix brings all the bees to the yard.

Why “Cosmos” producer Ann Druyan is optimistic about the future

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, space

Ann Druyan, who co-wrote the original 1980s series with her late husband, is back at work as this season’s executive producer, writer and director. Her book, “Cosmos: Possible Worlds,” was recently published as a companion to the series, which will be aired on March 9 at 8/7c on National Geographic. We were lucky enough to catch up with Druyan to talk more about her latest projects.


You’ve described this season of “Cosmos” as the “boldest” season yet. Can you elaborate on that, without giving too much away?

I think it’s the boldest in that it appears to present such an optimistic vision of the future, and that sets it apart, I think, in many ways from most of our entertainment. Of course, our entertainment is just a reflection of the reality we’re coping with, but this “Cosmos” is not only a vision of a magnificent future, but a vision of a magnificent future if we learn to use our science in high technology with wisdom. It’s the future we can still have and so many of the stories in both book and show are the stories of our ancestors who endured terrible situations. Every single person alive today is descended from humans who have been back to the wall repeatedly, but rose to the challenge.
