We simply call this mysterious feeling “love” but believe it or not, there is a complexity behind the wheel driving us to cogitate our involvement in this feeling—some sort of devoted and passionate feeling. Science has sought long to detect the basic phenomenon behind amity and has concluded at many stages that love is the most alluring feeling in our life aiding us to thrive. Fidelity compels us to accelerate the process of reproduction. Staying over the rainbow and in love with the world is not a casual nexus.
In a study published online June 21 in the Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, the researchers show that the consumption of extra-virgin olive oil protects memory and learning ability and reduces the formation of amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain — classic markers of Alzheimer’s disease.
A new study has examined the dietary habits of more than 18,300 US adults, and found the majority of people who increased their consumption of plain water by 1 percent reduced their total daily calorie intake as well as their consumption of saturated fat, sugar, sodium and cholesterol.
We live with ubiquitous technology designed to constantly pull for our attention. But many scientists believe our brains were not made for this kind of information bombardment, and that it can lead to mental fatigue, overwhelm, and burnout, requiring “attention restoration” to get back to a normal, healthy state. Nature can restore depleted attention circuits, which can then help us be more open to creativity and problem-solving.
“Millions of people around the world already enjoy the health benefits of mind-body interventions like yoga or meditation, but what they perhaps don’t realize is that these benefits begin at a molecular level and can change the way our genetic code goes about its business.” – Lead investigator Ivana Buric from the Brain, Belief and Behavior Lab
According to the study of 28,000 diners, “labeling vegetables indulgently resulted in 25% more people selecting the vegetable than in the basic condition”.
After years of research, the MIT team has come up with a way of performing computer operations optically..
Jacque Fresco created the Venus Project in 1980 to pursue his plan to create a resource-based economy that would rescue modern society from the ills of failed political systems. The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable but as totally unacceptable.
Albert Einstein predicted that whenever light from a distant star passes by a closer object, gravity acts as a kind of magnifying lens, brightening and bending the distant starlight. Yet, in a 1936 article in the journal Science, he added that because stars are so far apart “there is no hope of observing this phenomenon directly.” Until now!
From new insights into how we classify dinosaurs, to the structure of their feathers, to the timeline of their embryonic development, paleontologists are still making cool discoveries all the time!
As Edinburgh’s Dr Martin Sweatman puts it: ‘One of the pillars at Gobekli Tepe seems to have served as a memorial to this devastating event — probably the worst day in history since the end of the Ice Age.’ Part of the Gobekli carving shows a headless man, a graphic symbol of human carnage. The comet wiped out many larger animal species, including the woolly mammoth and the sloth bear, and it almost destroyed humanity…
Investigative reporter and ET/UFO researcher Linda Moulton Howe lends stunning evidence about the idea that reality is virtual In April of 2016, at the annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate in New York, a discussion was under foot – “Are we living in a computer simulation?” was the question on the table. And though to many […]
Back in August of 1977, a team of astronomers studying radio transmissions from an observatory at Ohio State called the “Big Ear” recorded an unusual 72-second signal—it was so strong that team member Jerry Ehman scrawled “Wow!” next to the readout. Since that time, numerous scientists have searched for an explanation of the signal, but until now, no one could offer a valid argument.
Another example of “the road to hell is paved by good intentions.” No one would ever think to exploit a computer-brain interface…. But, with all the malware out there, how could you guard yourself from such an intrusion?
Scientists from around the world let us in on their research into how to manipulate our memories in order to forget or even create new ones.
