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.
If you liked Bill Nye before, you may not like him now. His new show seems to be short on science. Read one ex-fan’s take on it.
Five 9th grade girls from Northern Jutland, Denmark, did a science experiment for biology class. The experiment involved growing cress seeds in two separate rooms. The result is a shocking lesson in the dangers of radiation from common electronic devices.
Scientists have made some incredible new discoveries on how our minds can literally affect our biology, especially through the study of epigenetics, the branch of science that looks at how inherited changes of phenotype (appearance) or gene expression are caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence. Instead of looking at DNA as the only factor controlling our biology, scientists are also looking at what’s actually controlling the DNA, which includes our thoughts.
It’s almost a certainty that we’re all walking around in something akin to The Matrix — a computer-generated reality run by artificial intelligence and the majority of us don’t even realize it.
Do not underestimate the power of a walk in the woods: A new study suggests that even a 90- minute stroll in a natural environment can lead to measurable changes in the brain, and may help combat depression.
When psilocybin interacts with the neuron-receptors in the brain, it blocks that receptors ability to interact with serotonin, thereby greatly affecting perception, mood appetite, and a number of other factors you take for granted. The end result is a hyper-connectivity between parts of the brain that normally don’t speak to each other. The effect of this is what most people call a trip. It is during these types of psychedelic experiences that one may have the sensation of tasting colors or hearing smells.

ET contact may be linked to other “paranormal” related encounters. Is there a science to explain it all?
Researchers discovered that people who were engaged in more creative activities than usual on one day reported increased positive emotion and flourishing the next day.
In a study published to arXiv, researchers analyzed 270 million records of player behavior in the fourth closed beta test of the video game ArcheAge. It’s long been thought that people faced with the impending fall of humanity may abide by the adage ‘Even if I knew the world would go to pieces tomorrow, I would still plant my apple tree.’ But, the study suggests people will instead give up on the future, and focus on personal relationships before it’s too late.

From carrots to corn, plants have evolved with human intervention so that they are now drastically different than they once were when our Paleolithic ancestors consumed them. This intriguing video highlights these things and more.
Physicists at MIT have created a very strange and exciting new form of matter. Read about it now.
This Studies show that the same positive feedback in oxytocin release occurs when a mom gazes at her newborn infant, occurs when dogs make the so-called puppy eyes at their owners.
