Dark Matter Could Be Responsible for Asteroid Impacts on Earth The mysterious dark matter that fills the entire universe could make devastating asteroids and comets fall onto the Earth, causing mass extinctions, including the one of mankind. Americans physicists claim to have found evidence for the correctness of this theory in craters on the surface of the Earth. Lisa Randall and Matthew Reece from the University of Harvard, who made a related publication in the journal “Physical Review Letters“, believe that the threat is posed by a very dense disk of dark matter, located along the central plane of our galaxy and the thickness of which is about 35 light years. Our Sun, along with the Earth and the rest of the solar system, is continuously moving around the galactic center and at times crosses the disk of dark matter in its course. The two American physicists believe that this is the cause of the fact that our planet is occasionally bombarded by falls of catastrophic celestial bodies, which leave a greater or lesser imprint in the form of craters.

National UFO Reporting Center UX Dimensions Human Emotions Map Shows How the Mind Affects the Body We often say that when we are in love we feel warmth all over our body or when we are angry the blood rushes to our head. As it turns out, these are not just words. Researchers from Finland for the first time presented the evidence that emotions are associated with a series of physiological changes in our body, which in fact are the same in all people, regardless of race or culture. Yellow color shows the points with the most increased activity, while blue color indicates the ones with the more reduced activity. People in love have a feeling of warmth, which leaves ‘unaffected’ the area around the knees and down. Researchers from several Finnish universities led by Lauri Nummenmaa and Enrico Glerean showed movies and read stories, which were designed to induce specific emotions, to 700 male and female volunteers of various races and cultures.

Strange Science: The Rocky Road to Modern Paleontology and Biology 20 excellent contact pages The purpose of any website is to get people from your target audience interested in what you’re offering. Whether it be a product or service, 9 times out of 10, someone is going to want to communicate with you further. Because of this, in almost any industry, you’re going to want to create a contact page. For some, this is that last page on the site map where you just throw a bunch of information. You can leave it up to the person to decide how they want to contact you and what they want to contact you about. For others, this is the last attempt to get your potential customer to give you their business. The contact page is much more important than many give it credit. It’s extremely important to make sure your contact page delivers in the best way possible.

Nonconformity and Freethinking Now Considered Mental Illnesses Is nonconformity and freethinking a mental illness? According to the newest addition of the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), it certainly is. The manual identifies a new mental illness called “oppositional defiant disorder” or ODD. Defined as an “ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior,” symptoms include questioning authority, negativity, defiance, argumentativeness, and being easily annoyed. The DSM-IV is the manual used by psychiatrists to diagnose mental illnesses and, with each new edition, there are scores of new mental illnesses. Are we becoming sicker? New mental illnesses identified by the DSM-IV include arrogance, narcissism, above-average creativity, cynicism, and antisocial behavior. All of this is a symptom of our over-diagnosing and overmedicating culture. According to the DSM-IV, the diagnosis guidelines for identifying oppositional defiant disorder are for children, but adults can just as easily suffer from the disease.

The Slightly Warped Website Why Our Entire Generation Needs An Ass-Kicking, Pronto Anyone born between 1985-1995 needs an ass-kicking. As of this moment, there are EIGHTY million of these people in the USA. If I were using people I know as a sample study, SIXTY million of them would be on Netflix or stalking a random stranger’s Twitter. And what’s even worse, I’ll confess I spent this whole morning re-organizing my Pinterest boards. So why do people of The Greatest Generation look down upon us and claim that we’re the demise of all of their hard work? Don’t get me wrong. The seemingly obvious answer, if you ask any well-bred, semi-intelligent American, is something along the lines of, “It’s our responsibility to carry our country into the future and continue to be the greatest country in the world.” OF COURSE, I’m obsessed with the USA and would tattoo an American Flag on my ass to prove it, but you’re actually drunk right now if you think our generation made America the greatest country in the world. Is the Internet and technology to blame for our laziness?

Welcome to Strangeusa.com! Eight Signs You May Be Experiencing A Spiritual Awakening There are many different “awakenings” one can have, but here are 8 signs that are certainly on the right track. 1. You’re more in touch with your spiritual foundations through transformative meditation: You realize, as Jung noted, that “the experience of the Self is always a defeat for the Ego.” You’ve felt the powerful kundalini energy rising up from your roots, passing through the sacred waters of the sacral, basking in the fire of the solar plexus, breathing in the vital breath of the heart, absorbing the ethereal voice of the throat, pouring through the dissolution of the Third Eye, and spilling up and out like a mighty fountainhead into the greater cosmos. 2. Your heart is not heavy with materialistic burden. 3. Rumi, “Why do you stay in prison when the door is wide open?” You have a growing propensity toward breaking mental paradigms, stretching comfort zones and thinking outside of the current box. You enjoy each moment, relishing, in carpe-diem-ecstasy, your bountiful freedom. 4.
