David Adair 's tale of Area-51

Quite an amazing story. At the age of 17 David was scooped up by some MiB just before testing out his new fangled rocket and taken to Area-51 where he was shown an engine similar to his own creation.

The interviews almost 40 minutes long, but it's a great story.

Legal Intervention against the Large Hadron Collider

Seems some people are a little worried about what effects the Large Hadron Collider could have on earth.

A website has been set-up in search for donations for a legal fund that hopes to set an intervention on CERN's plans for the large Hadron Collider, well until a full risk assessment has been done.

Sounds like a good idea actually, the colliders Sci-Fi huge and I can't think of anything on a scale similar to this project, so maybe they should think about all possible negative outcomes before they go full speed, makes sense.

Though I don't know a whole lot about the specifics of this project, with something so huge, there's bound to be things overlooked.

Large Hadron Collider

I was sure they had already used this machine, I saw a report on BBC news about half a year ago talking about something similar, I wasn't paying to much attention and I've been wondering ever since, I doubt it was the Large Hadron Collider located in CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland.

Dark Roasted Blend has a mega post about the machine, photos, details and what not.

I can't think of anything that compares to the scale and magnitude of the LHC project, all that comes to mind are movies like James Bond, Contact and other various Sci-Fi movies.

The possibility that this machine could produce mini black holes, mini big bangs and even time travel seems out of this world, what's amazing is the project is so public, would expect something like this to be shrouded in secrecy.

No more tears Onions

What the hell will they think of next, thorns with no points? No more tears from cutting onions would make work a boring place, have a great laugh crying while cutting them.

Creation Stories

Just been doing a little reading on creation stories from various cultures and one thing really sticks out, most of them are all very similar and a lot are older than most of the mainstream beliefs of this day and age, which I find to be less shrouded in "golden turtle" metaphors.

The first major similarities start out with the earth being void of light and/or covered in water and in chaos, the earth and sky need to be separated and usually the gods/people of the sky come fourth and bring light upon the world , create the land and all things. The other story usually involves a golden egg that is split to form the sky, earth and all things, which I feel is kind of the same as the first story.

The second major similarity is that a lot of the human creation stories involve the gods forming people from mud and giving knowledge to them, it just seems to be a major motif throughout and the story is widely used throughout the world.

The third similarity is that of great floods, a lot of the time to wipe out the gods mistakes and to restart building human kind. Probably a great disaster that cycles back to the first similarity.

One last thing, there are plenty of giants throughout many of these creation stories.

I don't know what all this means all I can think of is that something happened many many years ago that has been lost in translation throughout the ages that has stayed with many cultures no matter where they travel.

I've known of these parallels for ages but this is the first time that I have actually done some proper research into confirming that these stories are very similar. My conclusion is that I'm never going to know for sure what our past truly holds, so why worry, but it sure makes for interesting reading.

Here's a wiki that has a lot of brief examples of many creation stories from many cultures.

EDIT: Just after posting this I found a very similar post from Beyond The Blog, they can certainly write better than I.

Physicists discover new way of levitation

So I just decided to check out news after watching a couple of UFO documentaries and one of the stories that caught my eye was about a new way of levitation. The article at Science Daily titled New Way To Levitate Objects Discovered discusses how nano tech could benefit from this discovery by reversing the quantum force that causes such devices to stick, pretty interesting to me, especially after watching those UFO docos.

Humans more or less "stick" to the earth along with pretty much everything else, just up the scale and you got levitating people. Though the article says that this type of quantum force is small, anyway they should find the big quantum forces, I want to levitate.
