13-Year-Old Makes Solar Power Breakthrough by Harnessing the Fibonacci Sequence While most 13-year-olds spend their free time playing video games or cruising Facebook, one 7th grader was trekking through the woods uncovering a mystery of science. After studying how trees branch in a very specific way, Aidan Dwyer created a solar cell tree that produces 20-50% more power than a uniform array of photovoltaic panels. His impressive results show that using a specific formula for distributing solar cells can drastically improve energy generation. The study earned Aidan a provisional U.S patent – it’s a rare find in the field of technology and a fantastic example of how biomimicry can drastically improve design. Photo by Cristian Bortes Aidan Dwyer took a hike through the trees last winter and took notice of patterns in the mangle of branches. To see why they branch this way he built a small solar array using the Fibonacci formula, stepping cells at specific intervals and heights. His results did turn out to be incorrect though.

Australian Engineers Unveil "Free Energy Machine" THE world may soon be able to buy one of the Far North's most controversial yet revolutionary inventions. The Lutec 1000 free energy machine have resurfaced after six years of steering clear of the public spotlight, having been granted patents in at least 60 countries around the world, including the US, China and India. Engineers John Christie and Lou Brits, who have endured intense criticism after they first unveiled their invention in 2001, are now preparing to construct a prototype of their revolutionary power device they hope to market within the next two years. The dynamic duo said they felt somewhat vindicated they had been able to land patents for their device and have had the Lutec verified by an independent engineer. "When we first kicked off, there was a huge fuss about it and people said we’d never get patents for it," Mr Christie said. "They said it would never work, so we couldn’t get patents, so it’s a good thing to see now."
Quantum Computing: Will It Be a Leap in Human Evolution? Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems that would take a classical computer longer than the age of the universe. Oxford Professor David Deutsch, quantum-computing pioneer, who wrote in his controversial masterpiece, Fabric of Reality says: "quantum computers can efficiently render every physically possible quantum environment, even when vast numbers of universes are interacting. Quantum computers can also efficiently solve certain mathematical problems, such as factorization, which are classically intractable, and can implement types of cryptography which are classically impossible. Quantum computation is a qualitatively new way of harnessing nature." Quantum computing sounds like science fiction -as satellites, moon shots, and the original microprocessor once were. To leapfrog the silicon wall, we have to figure out how to manipulate the brain-bending rules of the quantum realm - an Alice in Wonderland world of subatomic particles that can be in two places at once.
The Akashic Records The Akashic Records Reality is a consciousness hologram. The Akashic Records refer to the matrix of consciousness programs that create our reality within that hologram. One could look upon it as a library of light wherein one can access all information. The Akashic records (Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning "sky", "space" or "aether") are collectively understood to be a collection of mystical knowledge that is encoded in the aether; i.e. on a non-physical plane of existence. The concept is prevalent in New Age discourse. The Akashic Records are understood to have existed since the beginning of The Creation and even before. History of Akashic Records Those who champion the truth of the Akashic Records assert that they were accessed by ancient people of various cultures, including the Indians, Moors, Tibetans, Bonpo and other peoples of the Himalaya, Egyptians, Persians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Chinese, Hebrews, Christians, Druids and Mayans.

World’s Most Precise Clocks Could Reveal Universe Is a Hologram | Wired Science Our existence could be coded in a finite bandwidth, like a live ultra-high-definition 3-D video. And the third dimension we know and love could be no more than a holographic projection of a 2-D surface. A scientist’s $1 million experiment, now under construction in Illinois, will attempt to test these ideas by the end of next year using what will be two of the world’s most precise clocks. Skeptics of a positive result abound, but their caution comes with good reason: The smallest pieces of space, time, mass and other properties of the universe, called Planck units, are so tiny that verifying them by experiment may be impossible. Craig Hogan, a particle astrophysicist at Fermilab in Illinois, isn’t letting this seemingly insurmountable barrier stop him from trying. Hogan is following through on a radical idea to confirm Planck units with two of the most precise clocks in the world. “What we’re looking for is when the lasers lose step with each other.

The Holographic Universe The Holographic Universe The theory that reality, as we consciously experience it, is not real, goes back to the indigenous people who believed that we exist in a dream or illusion. In our current timeline, we refer to the our virtual reality experience as a matrix, grids, simulation and hologram. There are those trying to prove the hologram exists and others who are trying to break us out of it. Theories about reality being a simulation are increasing. It used to be difficult for me to find one good article, now they are manifesting along wth consciousness. Time is an illusion, therefore so is everything else. In media we find films, television shows, books, and games, based on the concept of reality as a hologram. or simulation Among the more easily recognized are The Matrix (Illusion), The Thirteenth Floor (Simulation), Inception (Dream), the Holodeck (Grids) in the TV series Star Trek, among others. Is Our Universe a Hologram? Are We Living in a Hologram? The Simulation Hypothesis
Free-Energy Devices, zero-point energy, and water as fuel Laws of physics vary throughout the universe, new study suggests A team of astrophysicists based in Australia and England has uncovered evidence that the laws of physics are different in different parts of the universe. The team -- from the University of New South Wales, Swinburne University of Technology and the University of Cambridge -- has submitted a report of the discovery for publication in the journal Physical Review Letters. A preliminary version of the paper is currently under peer review. The report describes how one of the supposed fundamental constants of Nature appears not to be constant after all. Instead, this 'magic number' known as the fine-structure constant -- 'alpha' for short -- appears to vary throughout the universe. "The implications for our current understanding of science are profound. "If our results are correct, clearly we shall need new physical theories to satisfactorily describe them." The discovery will force scientists to rethink their understanding of Nature's laws.
Group Meditation Reduces Terrorism - Research Report A new book by U.S. Army Col. Brian Rees entitled "Terrorism, Retaliation and Victory: Awaken the Soul of America to Defeat Terrorism Without Casualties" discusses a study published in the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation showing 72% reduction in international terrorism using Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Invincible Defense Technology. The remarkable findings show that large groups of peace-creating meditation experts decrease international conflicts, including deaths and injuries due to terrorism. On three different occasions during 1983-1995, groups of approximately 7,000 meditators were formed for periods lasting from 8 to 11 days, twice in the United States and once in Holland. "Our formula predicts that the square root of 1% of the world population meditating together would be needed to create a worldwide effect. Group Meditation Produces Coherence So how does it work? Another proponent of trying this approach is Dr. BUY THIS BOOK: "Terrorism, Retaliation and Victory"

Solar Activity and Human Behavior: a link? In response to an earlier post I did about Solar Flares and GPS disruption, someone commented about the affects that solar activity can have on human behavior. Having read more about it since then, it seems that there are some interesting correlations. Here are some links I found on the subject: Sunspots and Human BehaviorThis article was published in the year 2000, just after the last Solar Maximum: The recent Solar Maximum gives us a wonderful opportunity to observe the Sun in action. It's interesting, but I want more proof. The Evidence: Historical Events During Sunspot Cycle Heights (1750-2000) The website is maintained by Carol Moore, who gives many more examples like this, with graphs, which appear to support professor A.L. A. [...] Ms. So the correlations make the theory more interesting, but what do we actually know, scientifically, about the affects of the sun's magnetic field on human beings? Could Cycles of War or Peace Be Tied to Cycles of the Sun? [...] So do I believe it?
Peruvian connection The Peruvian connection Despite what mainstream isolationists will try and tell you, the Polynesians entered the Pacific islands through two gateways; from Peru to the Marquesas/Rapa nui and from Canada to Hawaii. Genetics indicate that the majority of Polynesians are derived from Canada and almost all Polynesians say their formative Island homeland is Hawai'i, this is certainly where they learned many of their navigational skills and also where their culture flowered, but many legends and cultural traits appear to come from elsewhere, giving them greater skills, knowledge and mana. The following extract is from Thor Heyerdahls book "Early man and the Ocean"; "Amongst the chiefly families of New Zealand, Easter Island and the Chatham islands there is a genetically different group who are : tall, pale skinned, bearded, long headed, with a semitic nose, narrow lips and occasionally reddish brown hair with a wavy texture. The Tin was extremely important as it was used for making Bronze. 1. 2.
Crosse’s Acari From “Oddities – A Book of Unexplained Facts” by Lieut.-Commander Rupert T. Gould, R.N. UNTIL 1836 the English public had never heard of Andrew Crosse. By the end of 1837 he was being reviled from one end of England to the other. Who was this dreadful person, and what had he done ? He was a simple, honest, and God-fearing man, belonging to a class very common in the last century but increasingly rare in this. His offence—which, incidentally, he had not committed—was of an unusual kind. Actually, he had done this. Here are his own words on the subject:1 “As to the appearance of the acari under long continued electrical action, I have never in thought, word, or deed, given any one a right to suppose that I considered them as a creation, or even as a formation, from inorganic matter. “In fact, I assure you most sacredly that I have never dreamed of any theory sufficient to account for their appearance. The following account is compiled from these sources. “. . . Footnotes 1.
