Silkworms Spin Super-Silk After Eating Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene. Nerissa Russell | Cornell University - Academia.edu. Who controls the agreed upon reality through the mainstream media and why they fear disclosing the truth about the extraterrestrial reality? What is the “agreed upon reality”? It is your perception of the world around you. This begins to take form from the moment of your birth and over the years through the indoctrination of information from everything from your school education to what you see on television and movies. All this information helps to form your perception of the world, but have you noticed that every so often there appears to be an unexplainable glitch in that reality? As was expressed in the movie “The Matrix” when Morpheus explained to Neo … “Let me tell you why you’re here… You’re here because you know something.

What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You felt it your entire life; that there’s something very wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is—but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad…”. JP Morgan, Rockefeller and Warburg (33° Freemason) New York City Mayor John F. "In March, 1915, the J.P. Biologists discover electric bacteria that eat pure electrons rather than sugar, redefining the tenacity of life. Some intrepid biologists at the University of Southern California (USC) have discovered bacteria that survives on nothing but electricity — rather than food, they eat and excrete pure electrons.

These bacteria yet again prove the almost miraculous tenacity of life — but, from a technology standpoint, they might also prove to be useful in enabling the creation of self-powered nanoscale devices that clean up pollution. Some of these bacteria also have the curious ability to form into ‘biocables,’ microbial nanowires that are centimeters long and conduct electricity as well as copper wires — a capability that might one day be tapped to build long, self-assembling subsurface networks for human use. As you may recall from high school biology, almost every living organism consumes sugar to survive. When it gets right down to it, everything you eat is ultimately converted or digested into single molecules of glucose. Without going into the complexities of respiration and metabolism (ATP!) Gene switch may repair DNA and prevent cancer. A team of scientists in Japan has found that a DNA modification called 5hmC - thought to be involved in turning genes on and off - localizes at sites of DNA damage and repair.

They also found that a family of recently discovered enzymes, called TETs for short, is important in maintaining 5hmC's reparative role. To turn genes on or off, a methyl group can be added to or removed from DNA. During the removal of this chemical tag, called demethylation, the methyl group is converted to 5hmC as an intermediate step. The TET enzymes are thought to be critical to the demethylation process. Recent research has shown that 5hmC is associated with an "opening up" of nearby chromatin, the tightly packaged assembly of proteins and DNA in the cell nucleus.

The team reveals in the journal Cell Reports that 5hmC localizes near breaks in DNA that develop naturally or that are caused by DNA-damaging drugs or irradiation.

Replication is one of the foundational ideas behind science. It's when researchers take older studies and reproduce them to see if the findings hold up. Testing, validating, retesting: It's all part of the slow and grinding process to arrive at some semblance of scientific truth.

Yet it seems that way too often, when we hear about researchers trying to replicate studies, they simply flop or flounder. Some have even called this a "crisis of irreproducibility. " The results of this study may actually be too generous "The results are more or less consistent with what we've seen in other fields," said Ivan Oransky, one of the founders of the blog Retraction Watch, which tracks scientific retractions. "I say this because the 100 assessed studies were all published in the best journals, so one would expect the quality of the research and the false rates to be higher if studies from all journals were assessed," he said.

Just listen to how difficult it was to repeat just one experiment. The Lost Cycle of Time. EmailShare 1513EmailShare By: Walter Cruttenden Ancient cultures around the world spoke of a vast cycle of time with alternating Dark and Golden Ages; Plato called it the Great Year. Most of us were taught that this cycle was just a myth, a fairytale, if we were taught anything about it all. But according to Giorgio de Santillana, former professor of the history of science at MIT, many ancient cultures believed consciousness and history were not linear but cyclical, rising and falling over long periods of time.

In their landmark work, Hamlet’s Mill, de Santillana and coauthor Hertha von Dechend, show that the myth and folklore of more than thirty ancient cultures speak of a cycle of time with long periods of enlightenment broken by dark ages of ignorance, indirectly driven by a known astronomical phenomena, the precession of the equinox. This is where it gets interesting. We all know the two celestial motions that have a profound effect on life and consciousness. Precession Observed. Biology and Medicine – latest news and breakthroughs. Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Why I changed my mind on weed. Dr. Sanjay Gupta says we have been "systematically misled" on marijuanaDEA lists marijuana as a schedule 1 substance with "high potential for abuse"Most recent research on marijuana has been on its negative effects, Gupta saysStudies on marijuana require approval from National Institute on Drug Abuse (CNN) -- Over the last year, I have been working on a new documentary called "Weed.

" The title "Weed" may sound cavalier, but the content is not. I traveled around the world to interview medical leaders, experts, growers and patients. Long before I began this project, I had steadily reviewed the scientific literature on medical marijuana from the United States and thought it was fairly unimpressive. Well, I am here to apologize. I apologize because I didn't look hard enough, until now. Instead, I lumped them with the high-visibility malingerers, just looking to get high. Dr. Medical facts of Marijuana WEED: A Dr. I hope this article and upcoming documentary will help set the record straight. New Human Ancestor Discovered. The History of FDA Control of Your Body | Patients for Stem Cells.

May 18th, 2013 (Click image to watch video) For the first time in history the FDA has encroached into the practice of medicine. The FDA made autologous adult stem cell therapy subject to the same regulatory oversight as mass-produced pharmaceutical agents. Without compliance to the Administrative Procedures Act requiring an “extensive public comment period.“ The FDA managed to expand it’s authority, without input from patients and their doctors… In the early 1990’s, the cells in your body were like any other body part that could be used by a physician and moved from one area to the next.

They were body parts like a kidney or a heart. That was before an unprecedented power grab by the FDA. In the late 1990s, the FDA proposed that the cells in your body should be made drugs. The FDA, without the proper notice and comment making period required by the Administrative Procedures Act, made a one word midnight change in the 2006 federal register.
