  • NASA’s UFO

    NASA’s UFO

    The AFP reports:

    High waves forced NASA to postpone until Thursday the first test of the largest parachute ever deployed, during a flying saucer launch that will try out new technologies for landing on Mars.

    So now.. we are the aliens. Flying the UFO..

    Maybe somehow this NASA craft worked in an alternate timeline, went there, and came back here around 1940 to give timeline the equipment to build the UFO that could get to Mars. 

    Whoa..

  • THE SERIOUS LIGHTS ON CERES

    THE SERIOUS LIGHTS ON CERES

    ceres-photo

    NASA captures a new photo of those amazing lights on CERES..

    The closer we get the more amazing they look.. and the more mysterious I find them.

    The current thought is that they are ice, but I am still contemplating the chances they are amazing little cities on the small dot between Mars and Jupiter..

    At this point, scientists and experts have no possible clue as to what the bright lights on our friend in the sky are..

    The entire thing is amazing, utterly amazing.

    Maybe the final result will be dull as an old butterknife, but the run up to whatever scientific discovery yet to be made on Ceres is a bright spot of our current space world..

    Space probe picks up something mighty interesting on camera: Could this be a comet version of Stonehenge?

    Rosetta was able to capture an image of what appears to be standing stones on a comet moving through space.. 

    One of the rocks – a huge boulder with a diameter of around 90 feet – appears to be balanced precariously on the comet’s surface. Scientists admit that the information is not yet clear as to how the stones formed in their positions but believe it was due to the transport process on the surface. 

    But the scientific theory hasn’t quelled the most lively of speculators who are pondering the possibilities that the stones were purposely arranged there..  Admittedly, the on-purpose theory is much more fun than the other option..

    Australian town stunned as it rains baby SPIDERS in ‘horror movie’ phenomenon

    While this may be a natural occurrence, it doesn’t make it less frightening. Imagine the sun becoming blocked by hundreds of baby spiders suddenly raining down on you? And this too: Some residents told how they found small arachnids in their beards and webbing in their hair!

    I’d be shaving immediately.

  • How to find the origin of a quote on the Internet. In the matrix

    How to find the origin of a quote on the Internet. In the matrix

    I read a link posted by George Knapp on Facebook and Twitter tonight to a website called Educating Humanity. The link describes well respected people who say we may be living in a simulated reality. A matrix.. Just like the movie version..

    This quote, in particular, was present:
    Rich Terrile, director of the Centre for Evolutionary Computation and Automated Design at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has spoken out about the digital simulation.
    “Right now the fastest NASA supercomputers are cranking away at about double the speed of the human brain,” the NASA scientist told Vice.


    “ If you make a simple calculation using Moore’s Law [which roughly claims computers double in power every two years], you’ll find that these supercomputers, inside of a decade, will have the ability to compute an entire human lifetime of 80 years – including every thought ever conceived during that lifetime – in the span of a month.
    “In quantum mechanics, particles do not have a definite state unless they’re being observed.
    “Many theorists have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how you explain this.
    “One explanation is that we’re living within a simulation, seeing what we need to see when we need to see it.
    “What I find inspiring is that, even if we are in a simulation or many orders of magnitude down in levels of simulation, somewhere along the line something escaped the primordial ooze to become us and to result in simulations that made us – and that’s cool.”


    While searching for Rich Terrile’s actual quote in VICE (the aforementioned story didn’t link the VICE article), I found YOUR NEWS WIRE declaring this headline: Universe A Matrix Computer Game Designed By Aliens, Say NASA

    Now, with all due respect to YOUR NEWS WIRE, one scientist speaking doesn’t proclaim NASA’s official position. And even more, if you read then quote displayed originally by Terrille, he said that some theorists have claimed this and that he finds it cool. As do I..
    But…
    Terrile didn’t proclaim we are all simulated and fake. And it certainly didn’t warrant this headline from another strange site I found called ST THOMAS AQUINAS VS NASA (real stuff) .. They went as far as calling this scientist insane for saying that some people say something that other people have always contemplated.
    The UK EXPRESS fishwrapper over in the UK also did its part, saying that a NASA scientist said we ‘May’ be living in a matrix. Even though he entertained the thoughts only of others, as I said.. With a keen eye, you may notice the text of the EXPRESS article is the same as the others.. which means someone copied off of someone. And with the net, it’s tough to tell if the chicken or the egg came first. In this case, the quote or the highly copied story reposted and reposted all over again.
    But finally, all of these stories regardless of who the first one to write it was, all mentioned that Rich Terrille was interviewed by VICE .. and that is where all sources are deriving the quote about the simulated matrix notion…I thought about this long and hard, and something was telling me I heard this all before.. Like I read it before. Like maybe I was in a simulated matrix and someone kept rebroadcasting the same link over and over again. So I checked the COAL SPEAKER archive and realized hat this quote was printed on my very site in 2012!! Years ago..
    So did I someone hear it before St. Thomas who hates NASA did? And the Knapp linked site? And the EXPRESS?
    No.. I Checked
    VICE actually had an article in 2012. Proof here: http://www.vice.com/search?query=terrille … and even more interesting, the VICE article THEN quoting Terrille actually talks about a show he appeared on in 2010: THROUGH THE WORMHOLE..
    So … that would mean all of these websites TODAY featuring this quotation as if it’s new are actually repeating news from 5 years ago. Think of it like this: If you were in your matrix, bought a car in May 2010, you now own your car. But also there is a good likelihood that your car was fixed at least 6 times and had way too many things happen to it, causing you to doubt your reality and hate your existence. But you also most likely had the chance to go to a car dealership and eat their “free” popcorn while your car was looked at by professionals, who told you that your car was ‘done for’ and that you should be a new car. And you’re going through it all over again.
    All in this matrix.
    But the theory is interesting, don’t get me wrong. I think about it often.
    The offensive part, to me, is how the internet has a knack for repeating and regurgitating articles simply for click porn. Especially when higher profile people link it without realizing that it was first reported in 2012. And 2010.
    All in the matrix.
    All by sims.
    On earth.
  • MORE CERN BURNING: THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE PLOT

    MORE CERN BURNING: THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE PLOT

    Scientists at Large Hadron Collider hope to make contact with PARALLEL UNIVERSE in days.. For those who don’t know, the Hadron Collider fired back up a few days ago … so far the world didn’t end or fall into a black hole. But there’s always time for that..

    But I was a little intrigued when I found that the Extinction Protocol was reporting a story that scientists with CERN are going to be attempting contact with a parallel universe. You certainly don’t see headlines like that everyday, so my eyes did a triple take. The Extinction Protocol is a decent website that usually links up its information to a valid source.. In this matter, they linked a UK EXPRESS article titled:

    Scientists at Large Hadron Collider hope to make contact with PARALLEL UNIVERSE in days

    So a few things need to be contemplated before running into the world of lunacy.. First off, the UK EXPRESS is a clear tabloid from the land across the pond.. I read it, I enjoy it.. but I take it with a grain of salt. If the DAILY MAIL is the NY POST, the EXPRESS is probably the STAR..

    Nonetheless, I read Paul Bowman’s article with extreme interest..  I sure don’t really understand what I should about physics but that doesn’t stop me from trying to.

    Ironically, this all travels back in the Internets to the DAILY MAIL, the powerhouse tabloid that gets worldwide attention.  Days ago, that paper reported.

    Will the Large Hadron Collider find a parallel universe? Particle smasher could become a gateway to alternate realities, say scientists

     

    Mir Faizil, a scientist at CERN, gets a lot of the attention in various postings regarding this..

    Back to the EXPRESS, Bowman writes,

    Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.
    “We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.
    “Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised.
    “This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science.
    “This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.
    “As gravity can flow out of our universe into the extra dimensions, such a model can be tested by the detection of mini black holes at the LHC.
    “We have calculated the energy at which we expect to detect these mini black holes in ‘gravity’s rainbow’ [a new scientific theory].
    “If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity’s rainbow and extra dimensions are correct.”

    Without question, there is some eyebrows raised and even panic.. Some fear that this attempt to tinker and toy with the unwritten laws of existence are dangerous.. Many fear it will shred the vale between the here and there, the now and the then.. I even read one account that this will amplify our lives and give us super abilities and senses beyond the 5 we have, but that we will die quickly since our existence in this reality cannot handle the reality from some alternate universe..

    I quite frankly don’t know what will happen.
    We certainly trust those who make oodles more in cash than us to have the best interest of humanity in mind when playing in the scientific sandbox. And to me, I would love there to be some confirmation that alternate universes or parallel existences have gone beyond the science fiction realm and are now becoming mainstream enough to continue studying it for proof of their respective existences.

    Meanwhile, grab some popcorn.. Throw in DONNIE DARKO, and watch the pictures as they flutter around the universe(s).
