Cellcraft

I casually found this sort of educative flash game online where you control a cell. It isn't one of those arcade-ish or fast paced games, this game actually explains and shows in detail everything that the cell is doing, and how it works.

I found it to be very good, educative and fun at the same time. This of course cannot replace a seriously studied book, but watching in real time the RNA and ribosomes interact while the in game text explains to you what is happening is really something that caught my attention and curiosity.

Germany - The administrative court of Berlin ordered to the parliament to release the German UFO files

This is happening thanks to the request of Frank Reitemeyer.

Every official information that was elaborated by the German Parliament Scientific service of investigation has to be released.

Frank Reitemeyer managed to forward this request thanks to the German freedom of information act.

Eisenhower's great granddaughter and aliens

Laura Eisenhower spoke her mind during the Johannesburg UFO conference.

She claimed that extraterrestrial technologies are used every day to control the Earth's population, for example, the recent tsunami and earthquakes have been artificially created with the HAARP.

"Puzzling structures" on the Asteroid 2005 YU55

This time it is official (unlike some of the other previous out of place "structures" found on asteroids), the Asteroid 2005 YU55 carries puzzling structures on its surface. It's what Lance Benner said, who works for Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. The photos taken by the scientists are still being examined, and are really being taken seriously because of this discovery on the asteroid's surface.

"Searching for ET, but no evidence yet" - White House answers to the disclosure petition.

The official (and predictable) answer by the white house to the petition regarding the disclosure of any material that had to do with alien contacts was pretty much what everyone expected.

"We are searching for ET, but no evidence yet" - This is basically the way of answering to the UFO subject used from the first documented sightings to our times. Trying doesn't hurt, but anyone who signed the petition should have expected this, there have been many attempts throughout history to find out the truth, and some were successful, just take a look at some of the declassified documents that have been found over the years.

Declassified UFO documents - Pilot died after UFO destroyed his plane

7/1/1948 - Captain Mantell died when his plane was destroyed by an UFO after he attempted to intercept him.

The case has been proven by several UFO documents, some report the event, and other documents show the testimony of other members of the army, like Sergeant Blackwell and the Colonel Guy Hix.

Declassified UFO documents - Teheran UFO

These documents describe the encounter between an F-4 and an UFO, back in the 1976.

The F-4 was sent to investigate after numerous Teheran citizens called the Air Force command post talking about strange luminous objects in the sky.

Declassified UFO documents - RB-47 flight

25 September 1957 - This incredible UFO document reports the chase between a B-47 (a plane that is especially good at picking up RADAR signals emitted by submarines)  and an UFO.

The whole chase, and all the sightings and RADAR signals were picked up both by the pilot and the Earth's radar stations. The UFO was big and very luminous, and even "played" with the plane by literally flying in circles around it.

Ancient UFO pictures

These pictures and cave paintings come from the past, they go from the prehistory to the most recent ages.

Premise: With these pictures I am not claiming or stating anything with certainty, as usually I am very skeptic when it comes to this kind of things, especially because there is no certain way to say that they really drew UFOs in those images, it's all subject to interpretation unlike the official UFO documents or genuine UFO pictures. I am just providing the information for you and you'll be the one to judge for yourselves.

Declassified UFO documents #2

4 November 1948 - Official document where the USAF states that they are concerned by the recurring reports on flying saucers. The Swedish air force intelligence states that these phenomena are obviously the result of a high technical skill which cannot be associated to any presently known culture on earth.

Declassified UFO documents - The Project Magnet report

If you have read my previous post about the 9500 Canadian declassified UFO documents, you most likely gave a look at the Project Magnet too, which I linked in the post as I deem it one of the most important declassified UFO documents by far.

The Project Magnet report is an official 1952 document about UFO studies. In this document we can essentially see how the government starts accepting the fact that some of these UFOs can be extra-terrestrial vehicles, and what they are going to do to gather as most data as possible about them.

Declassified UFO documents - Canada

These documents were made between 1947 and 1980. This collection of UFO documents is pretty big, according to the site there are around 9500 of them.

These documents don't come only from the Department of Defence, but also by the Department of Transport, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the National Research Council

Mars - Spotted two places where life could have prospered

According to a research published on the magazine Geology, by the American planetary science institute, there are at least two places on Mars where life could have prospered.


Deep valleys rich of clay minerals that have been formed with the presence of water which supposedly favored the presence of forms of life.

Buenos Aires 2:10 A.M - One death and 8 wounded because of a "fire ball" that fell from the sky

A Paraguayan woman died and 8 other people wounded this Monday because of a mysterious explosion caused, according to the testimonies, by a fire ball that fell from the sky.


It all happened at dawn, in the city named Esteban Echeverria, where two houses and three vehicles have been destroyed, because of the explosion that is being investigated by the authorities.

Declassified UFO documents

Before watching these, I suggest that you read my other article that speaks about UFOs, and to especially take into account the part that says "U.F.O. does NOT mean alien spacecraft, a U.F.O. is "simply" an unidentified flying object, it can be a plane, a baloon, a satellite, even a bird."

I am not showing you these photos to tell you "hey look, ET is flying with his ship right there!" - I am just showing you photos of unidentified flying objects.

Science and new ideas - Not always an easy approach

Science has always been very difficult to approach with new ideas, we used to firmly believe that the Earth was at the center of the Universe, for example, and whomever went against those widely accepted ideas was considered a charlatan, crazy or something along the lines of that, like Copernicus.

The speed of light is not the limit - Subatomic particles have gone faster than the speed of light at CERN

Many of you have probably read this already, apparently some particles managed to surpass the speed of light at CERN, the extraordinary find, though, has not been confirmed right away, and this is why I didn't post about it until now, to be sure.

But yesterday at 8:34 A.M. the ANSA agency confirmed it, the speed of light has been surpassed.

Researchers Developing New Form of Life Made of Metal

We're all familiar with the idea of metallic life forms like sentient robots, but somewhere out there, metallic life may have actually evolved just like organic life has here on Earth. A Scottish research group is out to prove this is possible by creating reproducing and evolving synthetic cells made entirely out of metal. 


There's really no reason why metallic life forms can't exist, it's just that we haven't met any and nobody's sure how it would work.

What does it feel like to fly over planet Earth?

I bet that some of you said that the Earth is pretty boring when compared to some other planets of the Solar System at least once in your life, I mean: Jupiter has a huge tornado that could contain the Earth three times, Saturn has its famous rings, and so on.

UFO activity in Mexico - Ceja de Bravo. Farmer claims that an UFO landed on his property

Mexico - Ceja de Bravo - Huimilpan

The inhabitants claim that on the night of September 3rd, Saucer shaped and luminous objects visited their modest city.

The next morning, out of nowhere, don Ambrosio's corn plants were somewhat "pushed" to the ground, to the point of becoming flat.

Transpersonal meetings with extraterrestrials, what you need to know

Since the UFO sightings became commonly accepted by the population, way back in the 1947, there has always been certain people that claimed to be in contact with advanced alien life forms with some kind of transpersonal or spiritual way. These people are known as contactees, they claim to be some kind of "chosen ones" contacting aliens every day failing to bring any kind of proof to the table and just blindly following their own fantastic ideas.

Mars: Mysteries and curiosities about the red planet

These are some pictures that in my opinion are to be taken into consideration when analyzing Mars' history and surface, I know that there are other pics going around in the Internet about humanoids, faces and whatnot, but I usually don't give too much importance to such stuff, which is usually hyped up and spread around just to cheaply get views and hits on websites. I try to keep it rational.
Many pics inside, click "read more" to see them!

Space Sounds

The space isn't mysterious only for the eyes, but also for the ears. Don't believe me? Check this out!

Here it is possible to listen to the sounds from space for free by connecting to the radio channels of powerful radio telescopes - http://www.radio-astronomy.net/listen.htm keep in mind that this only works in certain times of the day.

Here we have a ZIP file with around 50 sounds all coming from space:

The famous Washington UFO sighting - 20 July 1952

This UFO sighting was a classic back in the 50s, and it shows how sometimes having a documented UFO sighting by the authorities other than the "normal" citizens only can make these facts very important.

20 July 1952 - This event, covered a large area, covering both the U.S.A. capital and its outskirts. The most touching scenes, though, have been experienced by the National Washington Airport's Air Traffic Management staff. They occupied a large room without windows, close to the watch tower. (The staff working into the tower managed only the final steps of the planes' arrivals, covering a 10 miles radius, whereas the Air Traffic Management staff observes all the planes in hundreds of miles).

NASA scientists study the possible interactions that we may have with an alien race

Yep, it isn't a joke. Very recently NASA scientists with the collaboration of the Pennsylvania State University analyzed the interactions that we may have after a contact, be it indirect or direct, with another alien race.

This little study basically wants to tell us this: "We don't know if we are ever going to meet any extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI), but if we do, we better be prepared. If we are never going to meet any ETI, we can still use this as a guideline to help human civilization to avoid collapse and achieve a long term survival"

Declassified UFO documents - United Kingdom

Once top secret, these documents now declassified by the UK's ministry of defence, (34 files to be exact) have been made public in the National Archives site and report official UFO sightings that range from 1985 to 2007.

These declassifications are what everyone that is interested in these kind of things is waiting for. Real, detailed and documented government proof, there are amazing reports of RAF pilots following UFOs that disappear in the sky at, as written in the document, terrific speeds, documents that claim the existance of videos that show UFOs "wriggling" in the sky, sightings by civilians, photos and so on.

Plastic can be converted back into oil. All thanks to this machine.

You heard that right, the machine that you are going to see in this video is capable of turning plastic back into oil, the plastic doesn't even need to be cut or worked in any way before putting it into said machine, you just grab it, throw it in, and turn on the switch.



This find is not really recent, it has been around for some years and has been revisited and upgraded as time passed by, it really seems that we are at a good point right now.

Everyone knows how plastic is bad to our planet, both for us and for the animals that inhabit the Earth, ALL of them. Even the oceans are plagued with the plastic wastes, which kills fishes and birds every single day.

The Connectome

What are we? What shapes who we are, or in a more mystical way, what is our soul?

We are our connectome. The word might sound complicated to you, but the definition is pretty simple. A connectome is basically a map of all the neural connections in a brain. The definition is the only simple thing about it, considering that the branches of neurons, that are basically the "wires" that connect our brain, summed up, are millions of miles long, yes, all of it into our brain.

Sebastian Seung explains in that video how HARD it is to study neurons, and even how harder it is to find the connections between them, he also tries to give an explanation on what we are, what is our "soul" and what makes each one of us what we are, other than the DNA. These scientists are doing an awesome work.

Where is our progress leading us to?

I have thought quite a bit about this, with all the new technologies that we are developing, our future really looks like it is going to be even stranger than the strangest sci-fi movie, we will not be the same in every sense.

I mean: if you have read my previous article about the brain implants, in a few years we are going to be able to learn anything we need instantly by applying a micro chip containing the data in our brain, something like transferring data from an USB to your computer. You're going to be able to become an all knowing scientist, engineer, attorney in a matter of seconds, or even all of them!
Sentient robots are not that far from becoming real, and we are going to be able to live forever, unless killed from external sources.

The world ends next year? It already had to many, many, many times before

Let's take a look at how many times the world was supposed to be over before this 2012 new age prediction.

I am going to list some of the predictions that go from the end of the 90s to our days, there are a LOT of them that go back to the dark ages, and keep going throughout all our history, with new predictions every now and then.

4 July 1999: According to some interpretations of Nostradamus' prophecies, a third world war had to start, with Russia and Iran initiating the conflict. Nothing happened

1999: The scientist Hideo Itakawa discovered after a computer simulation that in 1999, right after a solar eclypse, the solar system was going to move itself into a cross shape. The astrologists believed that this formation represented the 4 knights of the apocalypse. This position of the planets would have caused mega earthquakes all over the world and even an increase in the solar activity. Obviously nothing happened.

Some UFO facts

Allow me to start with stating this beforehand: UFO does NOT mean alien spacecraft, a UFO is "simply" an unidentified flying object, it can be a plane, a baloon, a satellite, even a bird.

With that said, the UFO subject has always been bombed by the media and charlatans in every possible way, this lead to a massive and uncontrolled spread of fakes, fake proof, fake stories, and so on. These people, who either want to make money or gain prestige are the most active in the UFO scene. So, thanks to the increase of the available technologies (almost everyone has the possibility of making videos or photos nowadays) and the increase of the "Alien trend" the extremely reduced amount of real proof is even harder to find.

If I had to make a personal estimate of how many real unexplainable UFO events have been documented compared to the fakes, around 1% are real, the other 99% are fakes. The real unexplainable events are really rare.
Before believing in UFO stories, make sure that you know how to distinguish the fake from the true, if the sources of said UFO event are always making hype around their news, they're probably doing that just to attract more audience. If someone is showing you some kind of incredible find with undeniable proof, it would already be in the hands of the scientific community, which is made of very prepared and competitive people.

The universe is not just "big" - Think again

big
adj. big·ger, big·gest
Of considerable size, number, quantity, magnitude, or extent; large.


Calling the universe just "big" would really be a joke. The universe is not big, the universe is SO humongous that not even the light that we see managed to reveal it all yet, and the light has been traveling at 299 792 458 m/s since the beginning of times, that's roughly about 13 billion years, as we can see in the pic.

(Credit: NASA / WMAP Science Team for the picture)

With that said, not only the universe has this incredible size, but also the planets, stars, galaxies, black holes, etc have all different sizes and mass. Do you want to make yourself an idea about it? Take a look at this, click on the image, because ironically it is too big even for this blog!

Our earth isn't even worth a single grain of sand in the universe, oh! Since we are talking about sand here, did you know that there are more planets in the known universe than all the grains of sand of all the beaches in the planet earth? That is amazing.

Our planet Earth is so small that the sun wouldn't notice our presence even if we happened to collide with the star, yes, we are that small.


Being small, though, doesn't make the sun big. In fact, the sun's size is nothing too amazing compared to what you can actually find out there in the universe:


Our star is just a little dot there, like the Earth is to our sun!

We have spoken "only" (super obligatory quotation marks) about planets, galaxies and stars here. Have you ever heard of super massive black holes? Well, let me just tell you that it is the biggest type of black hole in a galaxy (we still do not know what we could find somewhere in the universe out there, we cannot exclude that somewhere an even bigger type of black hole can be found!) in the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses! The black holes are believed to be in the center of almost every single galaxy in the universe, and their gravitational power is so strong that they can keep togheter galaxies all by themselves. There is supposedly even one in the center of our own galaxy, it doesn't sound too reassuring doesn't it? Some galaxies even have two super massive black holes at their center in a binary system, which is amazing.

Do you think that our Milky Way galaxy is big? You should take a look at this:



















(This clip was taken from the show 'How The Universe works' - Discovery Channel)



Do you guys still think that when driving for 1-2 hours with your car, or taking a 4-5 hours train or even a 12 hours flight to the other side of the world with a plane you are covering a long distance? Well, you are not. Think again.

Brain memory expansions make rats able to instantly know things.

Scientists of the University of South California's Viterbi School of Engineering have developed a prosthetic chip that interacts with the memory of the rats' brain, enhancing it using electrodes. What does that mean?

According to Dr. Theodore Berger (the man who is leading the scientists) in poor words: if you flip the switch on, the rats remember, if you flip it off they forget. This amazing discovery is the real proof that we needed to confirm how the brain can interact with a neural prosthesis in real time to identify and modify the neural memory encoding processes, this allows to restore or even enhance said cognitive mnemonic processes.

Without the need to say that this kind of awesome technology can be widely used in medicine particularly on mental degenerative diseases like Alzheimer or for amnesia and losses of memory, these chips have the potential to be used in the same way that Neo becomes a master of Kung-Fu in an incredible short period of time just by "installing" the techniques on his brain like in the movie Matrix.

The future seems to be quite easier than what it is now. Right now we have to study, suffer and work hard for quite some time to become good at something, I am one to talk, since every morning I wake up to go to the university!

With this technology you won't even have to do that anymore, what to become a lawyer? Install the lawyer chip! You're going to learn every single legislation of every single state in the world in a matter of seconds! Want to become a space engineer? No problem, install the space engineer chip! You'll be building space ships at NASA in a matter of minutes! Hell, this could even be used for phisical abilities, want to become good at basketball? Soccer? Tennis? Just install the right chip, train your muscles for a bit, and you're good to go! Want to become a musician? Install the musician chip, learn every single chord, scale, note, progressions and what not in a matter of seconds! The possibilities are endless really.

I really wonder what the future has in hold for us when I see what we are capable of developing, and the technologies are becoming better and better as I write this!

Elixir of long life? It's closer than you think

According to Aubrey de Grey, aging is simply a disease, and like every other disease it needs to be cured. The cure is just harder to develop than what happens with other curable diseases, because it damages our organism in several inevitable ways.




The "cure" to this disease is already in development, and if you are around 20-30 years old you're probably going to be able to benefit from it when said development is over. Looks like that in the future we won't be accepting death as an inevitable end to our lives anymore, we're going to prevent it from happening as if we are curing a flu or cold by taking some pills every day. I really hope that humanity is ready for this!

HAARP is the culprit... NOT!

According to the stories that are spread over the internet every day, the HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is some sort of secret weapon managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research for many obscure reasons, the most popular ones are: Earthquakes, Volcanoes eruptions, Sudden climate changes, and even mind control!

Let's start with saying that the HAARP is not secret at all, most of its studies and datas can be found online on the official website of the facility, only a little part of the data is secret (which is obvious considering that no one is going to reveal new technologies around the world like nothing).

The installation is so secret that a journalist of Wired jumped into his car and went to visit it personally, you can find the article

The HAARP's reason of existence, is to study the ionosphere and how it reacts to radio waves. This is done to develop new radio communication systems that are able to send radio waves all over the world by literally bouncing the waves on the ionosphere which reflects them back into the ground. The world is spherical, so the only way to send radio waves DIRECTLY from two different sides of the world with the current technology is to make them bounce on the ionosphere, so that they get reflected on the other side of the world. According to some people, though, the HAARP is capable of much more: EMP strikes, finding objects all over the world (even underground), ectetera.

These claims go against all the basic laws of physics and electromagnetism, let's see why.

First of all, the maximum power of HAARP makes it so that in an area of 55 square kilometers (around 34 miles) 3.6 millions of Watt are released, which might seem big at first, but since it is spread in such a big area (1/10 watt per square meter) the effects cannot be in any possible way dangerous. Oh by the way, an average radio station emits around 3.0 MegaWatts.With that said, the actual power of the waves after they are reflected by the ionosphere is a millionth of watts per meter square, even the common eletric devices that we use every day in our houses emit more power!

Now let's try (read: obviously success) to prove wrong the most famous and believed conspiracies about the HAARP.

- Ultra sophisticated RADAR of some sort:
After the waves bounce on the ionosphere which is very turbolent, they cannot provide a nitid image of the sorroundings. That happens because the reflected radio waves lose an extremely high amount of power and because of the turbolent nature of the ionosphere, which widely spreads the waves across the area. The reflected waves are so weak and spread out that it's hard to even disturb the most delicate receiver, for the same reason, HAARP cannot be used in any way as an EMP weapon.As we already stated, the power of the HAARP is not even remotely close to what an earthquake requires, which is a humongous amount of power. The main reason why these people state that the HAARP can generate earthquakes is by emitting some sort of radio waves that change the Earth's magnetic field, but that is impossible as well, for two main reasons:

- The Earth's magnetic field is generated in the nucleus of the planet, the HAARP waves have no possible way of reaching the nucleus.- Even the smallest magnetic tempest generated by the solar wind has energies that are thousand of times stronger than what the HAARP can do, and they have no relations to earthquakes.

- Climate changes all over the world

These claims make even less sense than the others, the ionosphere has almost no correlation to the climate changes, because it has no relations with the troposphere. Even if the HAARP happened to send waves at full power on top of the facility (to lower the wave dispersion) it wouldn't be able to influence even a single little cloud.There is nothing "super" about the HAARP, there are no plans to use it against humanity for who knows what obscure reason, there are no inducted earthquakes and no secret EMP strikes, simply because the HAARP has no ways of making it happen, plain and simple.

For any other questions, the HAARP is so secret that it even has its own public relations office, you can find it here: Office of Public Affairs - Air Force Research Laboratory - 3550 Aberdeen Ave S.E. - Kirtland AFB NM 87117-5776

New Mars anomaly

Most of you have probably heard about these anomalies that are often found on Mars. The most famous and known anomaly is probably the "face" (Wikipedia's Mars face pictures) which was proven to just be a low res image that resembled a face shortly after.

Recently, the "armchair astronaut" David Martinez claimed to have found another anomaly with Google Mars (the mars version of Google Earth), but not just that, he even proceeded to claim that it was for sure an alien orbital station or power plant! He seems to have contacted the NASA about it as well, but he never got any answer back. Tons of speculations and theories started to come up in the web after he uploaded the videos on youtube.


The coordinates of the pic are 71 49’ 19.73” N  -  29 33’ 06.53” W

You know, the idea of life on Mars is fascinating to say the least, and it would be an incredible find if it is really going to be proven true, but as far as experiences tell us, all the previous anomalies have always been a product of the low quality and resolution of the images. Our brain "hates" the unknown, so it automatically tries to associate an image that has no logical explanation to something that we already know. This is called Pareidolia, which is behind all of these apparently amazing finds on Mars.


After a brief research on this matter, I have come to the conclusion that this is nothing else than just another anomaly indeed. Whomever is interested can check here how the anomaly is just an example of what they call pixel corruption. You can find out in two high res pictures in the Mars Image Explorer site about this, the best picture to find out how this is just pixel corruption is named H5620_0000_ND2, it is pretty big (around 300 Megabytes) and you are going to need the NASA View program to view it correctly. 


This is the real Mars pixel station!




I repeat it, if these anomalies would prove to be real, I would be the first to be extremely happy and excited about it, but for now, all of this are just the fruits of bad quality pics that make us see what is not real. In the hope of finding a real intelligent made structure or real proof of life in the universe, I salute you, see you with my next post!
