Hadron Collider 'could act as telephone for talking to the past'
"Spurs-a-jingle boffins in America say that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), most
puissant matter-rending machine ever assembled by humanity, may also turn out to be the first time machine ever built. According to the physicists' calculations, instruments at the mighty particle-smasher may soon detect signs of "singlets" which it has not yet generated, sent back from their creation in the future." See: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03...inglet_theory/ Hmm, how soon can we open Stein's Gate? |

Nerds! Darpa Wants Your Advice on Interstellar Flight
"Darpa recently launched a program called the 100 Year Starship, which is exactly
what it sounds like: an effort to achieve interstellar flight by the year 2111. This being Darpa, they’re dead serious. And they also recognize that 2011-era technology probably isn’t good enough to forecast the state of the art over the next 100 years." See: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011...tellar-flight/ |

I have a new theory. I am starting to think that everything that the human mind can think of is literally possible to achieve. The limiting factor to make reality anything we think of is based on our state of consciousness and our level of knowledge. |

Fire-quenching electric forcefield backpack invented
"Boffins in America say they're on the track of a backpack electro-beam forcefield
device capable of snuffing out raging fires without any need for water, hoses or other traditional firefighting apparatus. Apart from portable applications, they raise the possibility that the new technology might replace building sprinkler systems with ceiling mounted conflagration-squelching zapper terminals."

Scientists Create First Memory Expansion for Brain
"Scientists have created a chip that allows rats to instantly know things. It's
amazing. After studying the chemical interactions that allow short-term learning and memorization in rats, a group of scientists lead by Dr. Theodore Berger—from the University of South California's Viterbi School of Engineering—have built a prosthetic chip that uses electrodes to enhance and expand their memory abilities. The chip is capable of storing neural signals, basically functioning as an electronic memory, allowing rats to learn more and keep it in the devices."

Is Aging Itself a Curable Disease? This Scientist Says Yes—Up to a Point
"In an article for the magazine American Scientist, Gems notes that as the global
population ages, we are likely to see a growing percentage of humanity living long enough to be afflicted with illnesses related to old age." "Gems says it may indeed be possible to “treat” aging. He knows because he’s personally involved with cutting edge research in the area." See: http://whowhatwhy.com/2011/06/21/is-...up-to-a-point/ |
