Of the mice that received the treatment, 75 percent got their memory functions back.
Australian researchers have come up with a non-invasive ultrasound technology that clears the brain of neurotoxic amyloid plaques – structures that are responsible for memory loss and a decline in cognitive function in Alzheimer’s patients.
If a person has Alzheimer’s disease, it’s usually the result of a build-up of two types of lesions – amyloid plaques, and neurofibrillary tangles. Amyloid plaques sit between the neurons and end up as dense clusters of beta-amyloid molecules, a sticky type of protein that clumps together and forms plaques.
Neurofibrillary tangles are found inside the neurons of the brain, and they’re caused by defective tau proteins that clump up into a thick, insoluble mass. This causes tiny filaments called microtubules to get all twisted, which disrupts the transportation of essential materials such as nutrients and organelles along them, just like when you twist up the vacuum cleaner tube.(more…)
The famed inventor believed “the solution of our problems does not lie in destroying but in mastering the machine”
In the 1930s journalists from publications like the New York Times and Time magazine would regularly visit Nikola Tesla at his home on the 20th floor of the Hotel Governor Clinton in Manhattan. There the elderly Tesla would regale them with stories of his early days as an inventor and often opined about what was in store for the future.
Last year we looked at Tesla’s prediction that eugenics and the forced sterilization of criminals and other supposed undesirables would somehow purify the human race by the year 2100. Today we have more from that particular article which appeared in the February 9, 1935, issue of Liberty magazine. The article is unique because it wasn’t conducted as a simple interview like so many of Tesla’s other media appearances from this time, but rather is credited as “by Nikola Tesla, as told to George Sylvester Viereck.” (more…)

Everything can be subdivided into naturally occurring smaller units, for example, a skin cell can subdivide into molecules then into atoms then into protons, neutrons, electrons, then into smaller particles that compose these which then can be further subdivided on into infinity. This is called the microcosm. Conversely we can move into the reverse called the macrocosm; from a solar system to a galaxy to a universe then a multi-verse and again on into infinity but everything is composed of smaller units which is then part of a larger system at all levels. Somewhat like a never-ending fractal.
But the question is “What is reality?” How does our conscious reality fit into this plan? One thought going towards answering this unanswerable question is that there is a duality, a ying and yang, or a spiritual or material.
This would be similar to a computer and what you see on the screen duality. Everything that you see on the screen is composed of bits that are either ones or zeros but we don’t see ones and zeroes. We see the result of those ones and zeroes which is what is displayed on the screen. So if we were to apply this analogy to our reality then we would say the ones and zeros or the basic building blocks of the atom are in another dimension of reality called the fourth (spiritual) and the third dimension (material) could be what we see as the result of those ones and zeroes on the screen where we view and interact with that information.(more…)
Recent discoveries require us to rethink our understanding of history. “The histories of the universe,” said renowned physicist Stephen Hawking “depend on what is being measured, contrary to the usual idea that the universe has an objective observer-independent history.”
Is it possible we live and die in a world of illusions? Physics tells us that objects exist in a suspended state until observed, when they collapse in to just one outcome. Paradoxically, whether events happened in the past may not be determined until sometime in your future – and may even depend on actions that you haven’t taken yet.
In 2002, scientists carried out an amazing experiment, which showed that particles of light “photons” knew — in advance — what their distant twins would do in the future. They tested the communication between pairs of photons — whether to be either a wave or a particle. Researchers stretched the distance one of the photons had to take to reach its detector, so that the other photon would hit its own detector first. The photons taking this path already finished their journeys — they either collapse into a particle or don’t before their twin encounters a scrambling device.(more…)
Japanese scientists have made a breakthrough step towards developing new energy source for humans in the future by for the first time transmitting electric power wirelessly to a pinpoint target using microwaves.
Japanese scientists from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have succeeded using microwaves to deliver 1.8 kilowatts of power through the air to a pinpoint target 55 meters away, a spokesman for the agency said.
“This was the first time anyone has managed to send a high output of nearly two kilowatts of electric power via microwaves to a small target, using a delicate directivity control device,” he said as quoted by AFP on Thursday.
Though the energy was only enough to run an electric kettle and the distance was not huge, this appears to be a giant leap in developing new energy sources. The successful experiment could pave the way to collecting inexhaustible solar energy in space and transmitting it to Earth, the researchers said.(more…)
We know quite a lot about the Milky Way, so how can it be that we’re just now realizing that we were so wrong about its size? It turns out that what seemed to be concentric rings of stars surrounding our galaxy’s bulging center are instead concentric ripples–and that means the galaxy doesn’t end where we thought it did.
“If there are ripples, then it looks like the number of stars in the (presumed flat) disk drops off quickly, and then farther out where the disk ripples back up it looks like a detached ring of stars appears,” Dr. Heidi Newberg, professor of physics, applied physics, and astronomy at Rensselaer Polytechnic University in Troy, NY, told The Huffington Post in an email. “We now understand that the galaxy didn’t end; the disk is just going up and down–in and out of our view.”

The distribution of galaxies throughout the universe is not more-or-less even; instead, galaxies tend to cluster together, bound together by the pull of each other’s gravity. These groups can be a variety of sizes. The Milky Way Galaxy, for instance, is part of what is called the Local Group, which contains upwards of 54 galaxies, covering a diameter of 10 megalight-years (10 million light-years).
But this Local Group is just a small part of a much, much bigger structure, which researchers at the University of Hawai’i Mānoa have now mapped in detail. Coming in at over 100,000 galaxies, the massive supercluster has been given the name Laniakea — “immense heaven” in Hawaiian.(more…)
Let There Be Light! Photo Shows Light As Wave And Particle For First Time Marshall Lemon | 2 Mar 2015 23:31 (see photo below)
According to quantum mechanics light acts as both a particle and a wave, but now we can finally see what that looks like.
Quantum mechanics is an incredibly complex field for a simple reason: So much of what it studies can be two different things at the exact same time. Light is a great example since it behaves like both a particle and a wave, but only appears in one state during experiments. Mathematically speaking, we have to treat light as both ways for the universe to make sense but actually confirming it visually has been impossible. Or at least that was the case until scientists from Switzerland’s École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne developed their own unique photography method.(more…)

Perhaps the greatest mystery of human experience is consciousness itself. Today, the fields of neuroscience and neurotechnology provide astounding insights into the electrical and chemical processes of the brain. Consequently, institutional science proposes with confidence that the brain alone creates conscious experience. Yet despite all that science has learned, the very source and essence of consciousness remains a puzzle. Thunderbolts colleague Dr. Michael Clarage shares with us his thoughts on the enduring mysteries of consciousness.(more…)
Universe May Have Had No Beginning At All, Study Claims
What we don’t know about the Universe… could fill the Universe.
Two theoretical physicists have suggested nothing like the Big Bang played a role in the start of our universe 13.8 billion years ago, refuting Edwin Hubble’s 1929 theory that the universe was contained in a single point in space and some violent event caused it to expand.
“Our theory suggests that the age of the universe could be infinite,” study co-author Saurya Das, a theoretical physicist at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada, told LiveScience.
The new study denies claims of an infinitely small and dense point of matter being involved in the beginning of the Universe, as stated in the Big Bang Theory.
“So when we say that the universe begins with a big bang, we really have no right to say that,” Robert Brandenberger, a theoretical cosmetologist at McGill University in Montreal told LiveScience.(more…)
{Editor – Per our prior article, written more than 50 years ago, this article confirms once again the validity of the transmissions from these inner planes where our former scientists of past earth history exist.}

In 1998, researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope made an astounding discovery. Gazing at the Virgo Cluster of galaxies a dizzying 53.8 million light years distant, they spotted 600 red giant stars adrift in intergalactic space. Ripped from their home galaxies during tumultuous collisions with others, the stars were no longer governed predominantly by the gravity of one galaxy, but by the faint, distant pulls of many. Artists imagined the skies of planets in orbit around these lonely stars: blank and dark, flecked only with the “fuzzy apparitions” of nearby galaxies.
At the time, the study’s lead astronomer Harry Ferguson estimated that there might be as many as 10 million more of these “rogue” stars in the Virgo Cluster, stars less luminous than red giants and thus too indistinct to see with any certainty. A new report published in the journal Science shows that Ferguson may have vastly underestimated their number.
According to the study, as many as half of the universe’s stars may dwell outside of galaxies, representing a stellar population previously unknown to science!(more…)
Lately there’s been news of a radical new theory proposing that the universe began from a hyper-dimensional black hole. Most of the reports seem to stem from an article posted a while back on the Nature blog, which references the original paper. So let’s have a little reality check.
No one is abandoning the big bang model. The original paper hasn’t even been peer reviewed yet and the paper doesn’t present a radical new theory to overturn the big bang. What the paper is actually about is higher-dimensional gravitational theory.
The standard theory of gravity (general relativity) describes our universe as a geometry of three-dimensional space with one dimension of time. This is sometimes called 3 + 1 space, and it gives a very accurate description of the universe we observe. But theorists like to play around with alternative models to see how they differ from regular general relativity. They may look at 2 + 1 space, a kind of flatland with time, or 2 + 2, with two time dimensions. There isn’t necessarily anything “real” about these models, and there certainly isn’t any experimental evidence to support anything other than 3 + 1 gravity, but alternative models are useful because they help us gain a deeper understanding of general relativity. In this particular paper, the authors were exploring 4 + 1 gravity. That is, a five-dimensional universe with 4 spatial dimensions and 1 time.(more…)
In The Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation a question was asked near the end of Lesson 11 which has perplexed me and which I have continually analyzed. Here is the question and answer from ICCC:
Q -“Could these faces and visions that come to me be prophetic at times?”
A – “You know strictly in an abstract way there is no past, present or future. When you come in contact with the true spiritual self or the Higher Self that lives in the higher world that precipitates itself in the spiritual world, the element of time does not have the same relationship. Something which is prophetic means that you visualize what could happen a thousand or ten thousand years from now, but by the same circumstance as far as the Creative Infinite is concerned it has already happened, perhaps an infinite number of times.”
I have pondered this many a time trying to understand and what I have gained through what might be called sleep teaching and understanding too from some of our present-day physicists like Leonard Susskind, is that if you look at a black hole which is a singularity and composed of waveforms of which these waveforms span the entire circumference of a black hole radius, we are essentially a smear of waveforms on a smear of waveforms. These smears expand across the entire surface of the black hole. Another example is like with Brian Greene’s loaf of bread analogy. The loaf represents time as we pass through each slice so you can pull a slice from one part or another representing, to our way of thinking, the past, present or future but everything, the entire loaf of bread, is occurring in the now just like all the up and down smear of waveforms (containing information) in the black hole are happening in the now. We become conscious of an experience depending on where we are transiting (or what we are attuned with) on the surface of the black hole (or in the loaf of bread analogy where we are in a slice). That experience has repeated itself an infinite number of times because it is continuously happening in the now whether we are aware of it or not; we just become conscious of it as we live through it. We polarize those wave forms in our psychic body (which resides in another dimension) through these earth life experiences.(more…)
To date, astronomers have found about 1,000 planets in the Milky Way, with just a handful of these thought to be potentially habitable.
But, in the hunt for Earth-like planets, a new study says we should be optimistic – as there may be more than 200 billion in our galaxy alone.
The remarkable declaration is based on the estimate that the average stars has two Earth-like planets in orbit, and the Milky Way has about 100 billion stars.
Matter exists in two states: the physical and the spiritual. Like in a hologram, with the holographic view and the film plate view, matter exists in two states: the illusion and the reality; the reality being the radius of a black hole or a two dimensional construct which unfolds or is infolded into a seemingly third dimensional experience. The radius of the black hole is two dimensional or a flat plane containing actual waveforms of energy. When a hologram is examined as two dimensional, then one sees interference patterns like those of a waveform when dropped into a pond of water. I think this solves the slit experiment because sometimes a photon or electron appears as a wave or a particle depending on whether or not it’s being viewed. A hologram appears as a hologram only when it is viewed from a certain point of view. But one knows that a hologram is just an illusion because all a hologram is (when not being viewed as a hologram) is a set of interference patterns (or waveforms).
The theory of the holographic universe solves the slit experiment. Particles are the holographic image of the waveforms but the waveforms present the true reality. The slit experiment confirms the theory of the holographic universe. We exist in two realities – the fake one – hologram and the real one – waves. Our senses detect the fake world but underneath all this holographic illusion is the real deal – an infinite number of wave forms.(more…)
