The memories you have, conscious or unconscious, are just stories you tell yourself. As the research shows, we can’t rely on these stories to be accurate or factual. The question is: Does it really make sense to base your life on negative “memories” and their resulting limiting decisions?
The notion that humanity might be living in an artificial reality — a simulated universe — seemed sophomoric, at best science fiction. It’s like the movie “The Matrix,” Bostrom said, except that “instead of having brains in vats that are fed by sensory inputs from a simulator, the brains themselves would also be part of the simulation. It would be one big computer program simulating everything, including human brains down to neurons and synapses.”
Do actual scientists believe this theory?
Two students from Al-Azhar University in the center of Gaza are redefining energy limitations that have plagued the area for years. Working with the institute’s Mechatronics Engineering Department, Khalid al-Bardawil and Jamal al-Miqaty, who are engineering students, have created a vehicle that runs off solar panels on its roof with a very limited budget.
Visual, or optical, illusions show us that our minds tend to make assumptions about the world – and what you think you see is often not the truth. Throughout history, curious minds have questioned why our eyes are so easily fooled by these simple drawings. Illusions, we have found, can reveal everything from how we process time and space to our experience of consciousness. Here’s why…
Despite the fact that they are unexplainable, these occurrences (telepathy, remote viewing, psychokinesis, etc..) have been observed in laboratory settings by scientists all over the world for decades. It’s a troublesome thought that experiments, showing repeatedly significant results, continue to be ignored by the mainstream just because we can’t explain them.
Seven psychologists plus author David Ray Griffin, Ph.D., provide insights on why so many people are in total denial regarding the truth about 9/11 despite “nine years of hard scientific evidence that disproves the government theory about what happened on September 11.” Trauma, fear, pride, and cognitive dissonance (information that contradicts beliefs about our worldview) are among the reasons given for why people can’t handle the truth about 9/11.
By adopting the perspective of an outside advisor, psychologist Dan Ariely says we can inject some rationality into our cognitive processes. Ariely’s new book is titled Irrationally Yours
Unfortunately, making assumptions – which is closely linked to something known as psychological projection – is not only something that we all do, but it is common for us to suffer greatly at the expense of such a habit. Keep reading to discover whether you’re a “serial projector” or not in your daily life.
“Subsequent processing and analysis of the signal revealed its most probable terrestrial origin,” astronomer Yulia Sotnikova wrote in an update published today (Aug. 31) by the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. “It can be said with confidence that no sought-for signal has been detected yet.”
Health psychologist Kelly McGonigal, author of the new book The Upside of Stress, talks about mindset science. McGonigal explains how positive thinking can put you on the road to positive outcomes while negative thoughts run the risk of becoming self-fulfilling prophecies. The way that you think about something can actually transform the effect that it has on you. That’s the meaning of mindset science.
The Hybrid Librarian present 10 crazy discoveries that science can’t explain: Hastatic Order, Variable Constants, Disappearance of Ancient Europeans, Tetraneutrons, Ultra-Energetic Cosmic Rays, Placebo Effect, Kuiper Cliff, C-Value Enigma, Cold Fusion, Dark Energy & Dark Matter
There’s no happiness like one that comes from doing something good for someone else without expecting anything in return. This kind of selflessness comes in all shapes and sizes. It can happen on a large scale — like, for example, whenever Oprah has one of her famous giveaways — or on a smaller scale, like what occurs between you and another individual.
Tesla’s invention would allow for self-propulsion of an unmanned vehicle for which he foresaw many potential uses, the most impressive of which, Tesla believed could help bring peace to the world.
A team of researchers from the University of Melbourne have produced a reconstructed head of an 18 to 25-year-old woman who lived at least 2000 years ago that they named Meritamun, which means beloved of the god Amun.
