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.

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.

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?
