Scientists are now taking a closer look at fasting and its health benefits, and they’re making some interesting discoveries.

A Quantum Anomaly Changes What We Know About Reality

There are some in the scientific community who believe that we are on the cusp of a fundamental shift in the perceived reality, or paradigm, experienced by humanity, or at least those populations exposed to current scientific breakthroughs. Pixabay Scientific American reports that as researchers delve deeper into quantum mechanics, unlocking the mysteries it holds, there is a growing cognitive shift in how ‘reality’ is perceived.

Researchers Look to Medieval Period for Proof of Planet 9

There are some astronomers who have theorized that in the depths of our solar system, far beyond the orbit of Neptune, there is a large cold planet that has evaded discovery by modern researchers. ‘Planet Nine’, as it has been dubbed, may have been knowingly or unknowingly revealed by our medieval ancestors.

Recent Scientific Brain Breakthrough Sparks Huge Ethical Debate

Thanks to scientists at Yale University, specific vignettes from Matt Goening’s ‘Futurama’ may be far from science fiction. In April, the scientists were able to reanimate the brains of 100 pigs that had been killed beforehand. For thirty-six hours, the swine brains were kept ‘functioning’ and has given a glimmer of hope that such a process could be replicated in primates and then humans. Enter the clips of Futurama’s ‘heads in jars’ scenes.

走进原始森林

离开老姆登,我们按计划去往亚坪。关于亚坪这个地方,在网上都很难找到足够多的信息。上了省道,过一座大桥,就到了边防检查站。我们到检查站时,前面是一辆当地车,后备箱载满了货物,应该是在城里采购了物资返回村里。这辆车正在被两位官兵开箱检查货物。这条通往亚坪的路被称作「亚坪边贸线」,曾经繁华的时候,主要是从缅甸运送木材从这条线入境,如今这里一切木材生意都被禁止了。官兵们一是检查木材,二是检查毒品。过了这个检查站,再过了亚坪乡,直接就能进入缅甸,也就是说,这个检查站是边境的最后一道关卡。
