You may laugh.. Hillary Clinton getting to the bottom of UFOs..

But .. John Podesta wants to..

So who knows.

Keep some hope alive.

Mysterious chimpanzee behaviour could be ‘sacred rituals’ and show that chimps believe in a god:

No opinions to render but the scientific information presented in this UK paper’s report is a little more than interesting..

The scientist described seeing the behaviour through cameras that were set up to watch the chimpanzees. They saw them assembling piles of stones — of a similar kind of the ritual cairns that have been found throughout human history.

Chimpanzees and other apes have long been known to use stones and other materials as tools, including their use as nutcrackers to get into food that is cased in a hard shell. But the new behaviour doesn’t seem to have the same functional purpose.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN HUMANS? 

An old cartoon but still good.

I love the notion that ghosts don’t know humans exist..
The parallel universe theory.. one where ‘ghosts’ are side by side with us.. maybe even people of the future, the past.. the present.. all at the same time and on the same planet as us .. and every now and then when fabric of space and time thins, those strange Mandela Effects start happening.

Maybe the ghost you wholeheartedly believe you saw is actually someone from what we’d call the future.. but the multiverse would call the present.. or past..?

So .. do you believe in humans?

NASA spots farthest galaxy, breaks cosmic distance record

.. a major step back in time.. a really huge galaxy formed only 200 or 300 million years after the supposed big bang?

“Our spectroscopic observations reveal the galaxy to be even further away than we had originally thought, right at the distance limit of what Hubble can observe,” Gabriel Brammer of the Space Telescope Science Institute and second author of the study said.

Previously, to estimate GN-z11’s distance astronomers had to analyze its color in images taken with both Hubble and the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope. Now the team has used Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3).

GN-z11’s distance has a redshift of 11.1, which corresponds to 400 million years after the Big Bang, a distance that was believed only to be reachable with the next generation NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Until now, the most distant measured galaxy was EGSY8p7 with a redshift of 8.68, located 13.2 billion years in the past.

And this from observation: 

“It’s amazing that a galaxy so massive existed only 200 million to 300 million years after the very first stars started to form. It takes really fast growth, producing stars at a huge rate, to have formed a galaxy that is a billion solar masses so soon,” explains Garth Illingworth of the University of California in Santa Cruz.

LOUNGING ON A BED OF NAILS IN STYLE.

A good set of historical photos can be accessed here on how it does not have to be scary, just use physics and you’ll be fine. You can learn just like any circus stuntman.. 

With the performer’s body weight distributed across hundreds of nails, no single nail receives enough pressure to puncture the skin.

And in case you want to try it at home, here are some instructions for the brave.
