As the Sun Awakens, NASA Keeps a Wary Eye on Space Weather As the Sun Awakens, NASA Keeps a Wary Eye on Space Weather June 4, 2010: Earth and space are about to come into contact in a way that's new to human history. To make preparations, authorities in Washington DC are holding a meeting: The Space Weather Enterprise Forum at the National Press Club on June 8th. Richard Fisher, head of NASA's Heliophysics Division, explains what it's all about: "The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity. The National Academy of Sciences framed the problem two years ago in a landmark report entitled "Severe Space Weather Events—Societal and Economic Impacts." Much of the damage can be mitigated if managers know a storm is coming. "Space weather forecasting is still in its infancy, but we're making rapid progress," says Thomas Bogdan, director of NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado. Bogdan sees the collaboration between NASA and NOAA as key. Author: Dr.
Scientists Claim That Quantum Theory Proves Consciousness Moves To Another Universe At Death Learning Mind| A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe“ has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible. Beyond time and space Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species. But not so long ago, the scientist became involved with physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. The theory implies that death of consciousness simply does not exist. Lanza also believes that multiple universes can exist simultaneously. Multiple worlds Sources: Learning Mind

Science + Vegan Recipes = One Good Healthy Eating Book I had the opportunity to catch one of the first screenings of Forks Over Knives in New York City last year. Besides loving the film myself, I came away feeling that I could show it, with confidence, to an omnivore of any background and feel confident that veganism was being presented in an accurate and inarguably rational and positive light. Yes! We need more media of this sort. Needless to say, as the film has been making its way around the country, it’s been starting up conversations and, we hope, changing everyone’s eating habits right and left. Just like the film, the book sets out a 3-pronged rationale for following a plant-based diet. First, it’s more healthful. Second, it’s better for the environment. And third, a vegan diet banishes cruelty to animals and allows us to be more humane. For all these reasons, one may have come out of the Forks Over Knives movie theater desperate to switch over to a vegan diet, but perhaps unsure of how to go about it.
Quelle prise en compte des « usages » dans la conception des espaces publics urbains Le réaménagement des places à Paris est aujourd’hui un enjeu d’urbanisme majeur [1], l’espace public « [devant] constituer un lieu d’expérimentation de la ville partagée, […] pour qu’une priorité soit accordée aux piétons, aux circulations douces, à la nature et au lien social » [2]. Dès 2008, le projet de réaménagement de la place de la République [3] avait été lancé, préconisant de concevoir une « grande place populaire du XXIe siècle » [4]. Parmi les objectifs, il s’agissait d’intégrer les « nouvelles mobilités et mieux partager l’espace public » et de renforcer la convivialité des usages. Les usages comme fil directeur du projet L’usage, mot employé par les professionnels dans le projet de la place de la République de manière différenciée, forme un leitmotiv. « L’usage » a d’abord été un point de départ dans la définition des impératifs du projet. L’attention aux usages a aussi été un moyen de répondre à des besoins spécifiques en fonction de catégories d’usagers. Bibliographie
DNA Can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies « Quantum Pranx by Grazyna Fosar and Franz BludorfRussian DNA Discoveries: Original version THE HUMAN DNA IS A BIOLOGICAL INTERNET and superior in many aspects to the artificial one. The latest Russian scientific research directly or indirectly explains phenomena such as clairvoyance, intuition, spontaneous and remote acts of healing, self healing, affirmation techniques, unusual light/auras around people (namely spiritual masters), mind’s influence on weather patterns and much more. In addition, there is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes. Only 10% of our DNA is being used for building proteins. It is this subset of DNA that is of interest to western researchers and is being examined and categorized. They found that the alkalines of our DNA follow a regular grammar and do have set rules just like our languages. One can simply use words and sentences of the human language!
In Ancient Egypt, Soul Houses and False Doors Connected the Living and the Dead - Atlas Obscura The ancient Egyptians shared the world they inhabited with innumerable otherworldly entities: invisible, yet with immense power. Demons haunted the desert wastes and goddesses dwelled in the marshes of the Nile Delta, but the spirits of the dead were omnipresent. Ancestor worship was an important part of household religion and the belief that the dead could not only be communicated with, but could also use their power to both help and hurt living beings, was an ingrained part of the ancient Egyptian belief system. To facilitate the transfer of offerings and messages from the living plane to the Afterlife, the ancient Egyptians created a number of objects that could serve as both portals between worlds and as memorials to the people who had died. False Doors False doors were a specific type of funerary decoration often found in the tombs of the Egyptian elite during the Old Kingdom, the period more than 4,000 years ago when the Giza pyramids were built.

Quantum mind–body problem The von Neumann–Wigner interpretation, also described as "consciousness causes collapse [of the wave function]", is an interpretation of quantum mechanics in which consciousness is postulated to be necessary for the completion of the process of quantum measurement. Background: Observation in quantum mechanics[edit] In the orthodox Copenhagen interpretation, quantum mechanics predicts only the probabilities for different outcomes of pre-specified observations. What constitutes an "observer" or an "observation" is not directly specified by the theory, and the behavior of a system upon observation is completely different than its usual behavior: The wavefunction that describes a system spreads out into an ever larger superposition of different possible situations. However, during observation, the wavefunction describing the system collapses to one of several options. If there is no observation, this collapse does not occur, and none of the options ever become less likely. Reception[edit]
Quantum mind The quantum mind or quantum consciousness hypothesis proposes that classical mechanics cannot explain consciousness, while quantum mechanical phenomena, such as quantum entanglement and superposition, may play an important part in the brain's function, and could form the basis of an explanation of consciousness. It is not one theory, but a collection of distinct ideas described below. A few theoretical physicists have argued that classical physics is intrinsically incapable of explaining the holistic aspects of consciousness, whereas quantum mechanics can. The idea that quantum theory has something to do with the workings of the mind go back to Eugene Wigner, who assumed that the wave function collapses due to its interaction with consciousness. The philosopher David Chalmers has argued against quantum consciousness. Description of main quantum mind approaches[edit] David Bohm[edit] In trying to describe the nature of consciousness, Bohm discusses the experience of listening to music.
