DNA Phantom Effect

DNA Phantom Effect

Modern behavior of early humans found half-million years earlier than previously thought Evidence of sophisticated, human behavior has been discovered by Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers as early as 750,000 years ago - some half a million years earlier than has previously been estimated by archaeologists. The discovery was made in the course of excavations at the prehistoric Gesher Benot Ya'aqov site, located along the Dead Sea rift in the southern Hula Valley of northern Israel, by a team from the Hebrew University Institute of Archaeology. Analysis of the spatial distribution of the findings there reveals a pattern of specific areas in which various activities were carried out. This kind of designation indicates a formalized conceptualization of living space, requiring social organization and communication between group members. Such organizational skills are thought to be unique to modern humans. In the second area, identified evidence indicates a greater variation of activities - all of which took place in the vicinity of a hearth.

Synchronicity and Acausal Connectedness - Jim Fournier Jim Fournier Spring 1997 PAR 667 David Ulansey Introduction This is an attempt to say something coherent about synchronicity. Much, indeed most, of the material currently in print on synchronicity seems to spend more time referring back to Jung, what Jung thought and what Jung said, than actually trying to grapple with primary data in any systematic way. Definitions Without going into Jung's various definitions of synchronicity for the moment, if you asked most people, and some dictionaries, the simple definition of synchronicity would be: a "meaningful coincidence." It is important to recognize that there is also a further implicit assumption in our definition of synchronicity; at least half of the pattern exists "out there" in matter, as opposed to "in here" in our minds. This brings us to the second word in our definition: "meaningful." Jung himself often tried to build into the definition of synchronicity some connection to his own term the "archetype."

Is the Universe a Holographic Reality? The Universe as a Hologram by Michael Talbot Does Objective Reality Exist, or is the Universe a Phantasm? In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science. Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. University of London physicist David Bohm, for example, believes Aspect's findings imply that objective reality does not exist, that despite its apparent solidity the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram.

'Junk' DNA gets credit for making us who we are - life - 19 March 2010 The blueprint for life is not all about genes. Now we are finally pinning down how much differences in – stretches of the molecule that don't produce proteins and used to be considered "junk" – shape who we are. In recent years, researchers have recognised that non-coding DNA, which makes up about 98 per cent of the human genome, plays a critical role in determining whether genes are active or not and how much of a particular protein gets churned out. Now, two teams have revealed dramatic differences between the non-coding DNA of people whose genes are 99 per cent the same. Promiscuous proteins Together with Jan Korbel, a geneticist at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany, Snyder led one of the teams. His team mapped where on the genome these proteins attach in cells cultured from five people of European descent, two others whose family origins lay in East Asia and three of west African origin.

Carl Jung - Synchronicity What is Synchronicity? The term synchronicity is coined by Jung to express a concept that belongs to him. It is about acausal connection of two or more psycho-physic phenomena. This concept was inspired to him by a patient's case that was in situation of impasse in treatment. Her exaggerate rationalism (animus inflation) was holding her back from assimilating unconscious materials. So, the idea is all about coincidence: in this case, between the scarab dreamt by the patient and its appearance in reality, in the psychotherapy cabinet. But this coincidence is not senseless, a simple coincidence. Thus, a significant coincidence of physical and psychological phenomena that are acausal connected. Behind all these phenomena Jung places the archetype or the constellation of an archetype, which, in his view, is a process that engages equally objective manifestations, in the physical world, and subjective ones, in the psychological universe.

To understand why Bohm makes this startling assertion, one must first understand a little about holograms. This insight suggested to Bohm another way of understanding Aspect's discovery.

Career counseling: a narrative approach 'Most beautiful' math structure appears in lab for first time - physics-math - 07 January 2010 A complex form of mathematical symmetry linked to string theory has been glimpsed in the real world for the first time, in laboratory experiments on exotic crystals. Mathematicians discovered a complex 248-dimensional symmetry called E8 in the late 1800s. The dimensions in the structure are not necessarily spatial, like the three dimensions we live in, but they correspond to mathematical degrees of freedom, where each dimension represents a different variable. In the 1970s, the symmetrical form turned up in calculations related to string theory, a candidate for the "theory of everything" that might explain all the forces in the universe. The structure is also the basis for another proposed theory of everything advanced in 2007 by surfer-physicist Garrett Lisi, who refers to E8 as "perhaps the most beautiful structure in mathematics". Now, physicists have detected the signature of E8 in a very different realm – experiments on super-chilled crystals. Up or down Complex symmetry No link
