Lost City of Atlantis, Swamped by Tsunami, May be Found
March 13th, 2011Via: Reuters:
A U.S.-led research team may have finally located the lost city of Atlantis, the legendary metropolis believed swamped by a tsunami thousands of years ago in mud flats in southern Spain.
“This is the power of tsunamis,” head researcher Richard Freund told Reuters.
“It is just so hard to understand that it can wipe out 60 miles inland, and that’s pretty much what we’re talking about,” said Freund, a University of Hartford, Connecticut, professor who lead an international team searching for the true site of Atlantis.
To solve the age-old mystery, the team used a satellite photo of a suspected submerged city to find the site just north of Cadiz, Spain. There, buried in the vast marshlands of the Dona Ana Park, they believe that they pinpointed the ancient, multi-ringed dominion known as Atlantis.
The team of archeologists and geologists in 2009 and 2010 used a combination of deep-ground radar, digital mapping, and underwater technology to survey the site.
Freund’s discovery in central Spain of a strange series of “memorial cities,” built in Atlantis’ image by its refugees after the city’s likely destruction by a tsunami, gave researchers added proof and confidence, he said.
Atlantis residents who did not perish in the tsunami fled inland and built new cities there, he added.
Morningstar Energy Box Announcement

The Russian energy and anti-gravity device, the “Magnetic Energy Converter” (MEC), was claimed to produce magnetic anomalies, lower the temperature of its surroundings, self-sustain without input, and even produce anti-gravity effects. Its partial replication will be announced at the Space, Propulsion & Energy Sciences International Forum (SPESIF) on March 15-17, 2011 at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Is New Zealand Earthquake Linked to the Mysterious Deaths of More than 100 Pilot Whales?
February 22nd, 2011Via: Mirror:
Twitter was awash today with theories that the bizarre deaths of more than 100 stranded pilot whales in New Zealand may have been a warning that an earthquake was going to hit.
There have been TWO mass whale deaths on NZ’s South Island in less than three weeks.
In the latest bizarre incident on Sunday, less than 48 hours before the earthquake hit, a pod of whales beached themselves near Cavalier Creek on Stewart Island.
Discussing the earthquake and whale deaths on Twitter, Kate Redman ‘DolphinSeeker30’ asked: “could the stranding of 100 pilot whales be linked to the earthquake?”
CodeNameTanya tweeted: “Over a hundred pilot whales beached themselves in New Zealand and then the earthquake. Wonder if tectonic plate shifts confuse whales. Hmmm.”
VeganWheekers asked: “Could there be a connection between the 107 whales that died on New Zealand beach yesterday and today’s earthquake?” while TV New Zealand added: “has anyone noticed the correlation between beached whales and earthquakes?”
Following the discovery of 30 stranded pilot whales on the island earlier this month, RadioLive breakfast show host Marcus Lush tweeted that an earthquake “greater than five” would hit in the next week.
Experts Determine Age of Voynich Manuscript
February 14th, 2011Via: PhysOrg:
While enthusiasts across the world pored over the Voynich manuscript, one of the most mysterious writings ever found – penned by an unknown author in a language no one understands – a research team at the UA solved one of its biggest mysteries: When was the book made?
University of Arizona researchers have cracked one of the puzzles surrounding what has been called “the world’s most mysterious manuscript” – the Voynich manuscript, a book filled with drawings and writings nobody has been able to make sense of to this day.
Using radiocarbon dating, a team led by Greg Hodgins in the UA’s department of physics has found the manuscript’s parchment pages date back to the early 15th century, making the book a century older than scholars had previously thought.

Jerusalem UFO Videos
February 7th, 2011Someone wrote in to ask my opinion of the Jerusalem UFO videos.
Here’s what I wrote back:
After years of seeing “lights in the sky” on YouTube, I just assume some kind of scam. It’s not that I think that it’s impossible that some of them are genuine UFOs (I have seen the real thing myself, with my own eyes), but YouTube is practically more trouble than it’s worth.
If the “real thing” was to appear… on YouTube, I’d probably think it was a scam.
I will say, however, that the way the Jerusalem thing “left” was exactly how the one I saw “left”.
My account of what I saw is here, just FYI:
You may notice that I briefly mention a UFO sighting that I had, along with a friend of mine, when I was 14. Let it suffice to say that I am 100% certain that what I saw was not any standard aircraft, satellite, Chinese lantern, remote controlled toy, meteor, planet, star, swampgas, weather balloon, etc. The object demonstrated flight capabilities that were very far beyond what was publicly acknowledged as possible back then (1985), or now.
The rational explanation is that the craft was related to some military black project, but I doubt that explanation. Why would a spherical craft, that looked like a yellow/orange ball of plasma, be flown low to the ground in a densely populated area? Also, the craft moved over a reservoir that served as a municipal water supply (see: UFOs and water) and hovered there for about a minute. Potentially, thousands of people could have seen the display.
It went from hovering, to moving left a few dozen feet, then right a few dozen feet, and down a few dozen feet. As it was doing this, my friend and I both agreed that it must be some sort of high performance helicopter. Indeed, that’s what it looked like. A helicopter could move in that manner. Then, literally in the blink of an eye, it shot up and out of the atmosphere and disappeared. I’m not sure if I saw motion blur from the incredible speed, or an arc of ionized air behind it, but it didn’t go straight up. It went in an arc that was perhaps 20 degrees off vertical from the starting position by the time it disappeared from sight. There was no perceivable acceleration. It went from an almost static hovering position to… I don’t know how fast; maybe several thousand miles per hour. But there was no sound of any kind. There should have been a sonic boom.
Whether you believe me or not, it definitely happened. I know that I saw the object and whatever the explanation is, that experience was proof to me that there is much more to reality than the so-called “normal” mind is willing to consider.
While my sighting resulted in a lifelong fascination with the UFO topic, I have drawn no conclusions at all as to what is actually happening. I have no idea what to make of any of this.

Contact: Learning from Outer Space
Psychological and socio-cultural assumptions and preconceptions constrain us to a large extent, and shape our views of the universe so that we are inclined to find what we are looking for, and fail to see what we are not. Using knowledge gained from research in the fields of Ufology and the search for extraterrestrial life, what might we possibly learn about hindrances to innovation in other areas of inquiry?
– Innovation and anthropomorphism, ethnocentrism and ego
– Falsification and the evidence of absence
– What Giordano Bruno would say
DNA Waves and Water
January 24th, 2011See: DNA Waves and Water by L. Montagnier, et al. .pdf
Via: PC World:
A Nobel Prize winning biologist has ignited controversy after publishing details of an experiment in which a fragment of DNA appeared to ‘teleport’ or imprint itself between test tubes.
According to a team headed by Luc Montagnier, previously known for his work on HIV and AIDS, two test tubes, one of which contained a tiny piece of bacterial DNA, the other pure water, were surrounded by a weak electromagnetic field of 7Hz.
Eighteen hours later, after DNA amplification using a polymerase chain reaction, as if by magic the DNA was detectable in the test tube containing pure water.
Oddly, the original DNA sample had to be diluted many times over for the experiment to work, which might explain why the phenomenon has not been detected before, assuming that this is what has happened.
The phenomenon might be very loosely described as ‘teleportation’ except that the bases project or imprint themselves across space rather than simply moving from one place to another.
To be on the safe side, Montagnier then compared the results with controls in which the time limit was lowered, no electromagnetic field was present or was present but at lower frequencies, and in which both tubes contained pure water. On every one of these, he drew a blank.
The quantum effect – the imprinting of the DNA on the water – is not in itself the most contentious element of the experiment, so much as the relatively long timescales over which it appears to manifest itself. Quantum phenomena are assumed to show their faces in imperceptible fractions of a second and not seconds minutes and hours, and usually at very low temperatures approaching absolute zero.
Revealing a process through which biology might display the underlying ‘quantumness’ of nature at room temperature would be startling.
Montagnier’s experiment will have to be repeated by others to have any hope of being taken seriously. So far, some scientists have been publically incredulous.
“It is hard to understand how the information can be stored within water over a timescale longer than picoseconds,” said the Ruhr University in Bochum’s Klaus Gerwert, quoted by New Scientist magazine, which broke the story (requires registration).
What does all of this mean? It could be that the propagation of life is able to make use of the quantum nature of reality to project itself in subtle ways, as has been hinted at in previous experiments. Alternatively, it could be that life itself is a complex projection of these quantum phenomena and utterly depends on them in ways not yet understood because they are incredibly hard to detect.
