Artificial life is only months away, says biologist Craig Venter

Posted 10/01/09

Artificial life is only months away, says biologist Craig Venter. “Artificial life will be created within four months, a controversial scientist has predicted. Craig Venter, who led a private project to sequence the human genome, told The Times that his team had cleared a critical hurdle to creating man-made organisms in a laboratory.”

Registry of Standard Biological Parts

"If biology is to morph into an engineering discipline, it is going to need similarly standardized parts, Knight said. So he and colleagues have started a collection of hundreds of interchangeable genetic components they call BioBricks, which students and others are already popping into cells like Lego pieces."

Death by conventional medicine “The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is nearly 800,000 per year

Posted 12/29/09

Death by Conventional Medicine “The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is nearly 800,000 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251”.

Case Of American Cured Of AIDS In Germany Generates Enthusiasm In Stem Cell Approaches

The apparent success of a case in which German doctors cured a man of AIDS using a bone marrow transplant comes as no surprise to Gerhard Bauer, a UC Davis stem cell researcher. Bauer has been working for more than 10 years on a similar cure for AIDS based on replacing the devastated immune system of an HIV-infected patient with stem cells that have been engineered to resist human immunodeficiency syndrome.

Golden Ratio Discovered in Quantum World: Hidden Symmetry Observed for the First Time in Solid State Matter

ScienceDaily (Jan. 7, 2010) — Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB), in cooperation with colleagues from Oxford and Bristol Universities, as well as the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK, have for the first time observed a nanoscale symmetry hidden in solid state matter. They have measured the signatures of a symmetry showing the same attributes as the golden ratio famous from art and architecture.

Slime Mold Beats Humans at Perfecting Traffic Networks Since the best city planners around the world have not been able to end traffic jams, scientists are looking to a new group of experts: slime mold.

That's right, a species of gelatinous amoeba could help urban planners design better road systems to reduce traffic congestion, a new study found.

A team of researchers studied the slime mold species Physarum polycephalum and found that as it grows it connects itself to scattered food crumbs in a design that’s nearly identical to Tokyo’s rail system.

Early humans, possibly even prehuman ancestors, appear to have been going to sea much longer than anyone had ever suspected.

 

That is the startling implication of discoveries made the last two summers on the Greek island of Crete. Stone tools found there, archaeologists say, are at least 130,000 years old, which is considered strong evidence for the earliest known seafaring in the Mediterranean and cause for rethinking the maritime capabilities of prehuman cultures.

 

(Homosaps.net note: questions remain regarding the dating of these objects. Also, it is formally possible that the objects were carried to Crete at a later date.)

History in the Remaking. A temple complex in Turkey that predates even the pyramids is rewriting the story of human evolution. The site isn't just old, it redefines old: the temple was built 11,500 years ago—a staggering 7,000 years before the Great Pyramid, and more than 6,000 years before Stonehenge first took shape.

Cisco Tuesday announced a new router, the CRS-3, that it says is capable of delivering 322 terabits per second…Those caveats aside, 322 Tbps is insanely fast. Just how fast? About a million times faster than your typical cable modem (literally). Or, as Silicon Valley Insider puts it, “fast enough to allow every man, woman, and child in China to make a video call at the same time.”

British scientists from University College London found they could differentiate brain activity linked to different memories and thereby identify thought patterns by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Hen’s teeth revisited. Chickens don’t have teeth, they have beaks. But their ancestors did. “Thus, the cells of the chick pharyngeal arches, which have not made teeth for nearly 100 million years, still appear to have retained the genetic potential to respond to an appropriate inducer.” This is a powerful argument for evolution, showing that modern beak formation in chickens is the result of an evolutionary process, with the latent atavistic capacity of pre-avian tooth formation still present in a quiescent genetic program.

Researchers have produced the first whole genome sequence of the 3 billion letters in the Neanderthal genome, and the initial analysis suggests that up to 2 percent of the DNA in the genome of present-day humans outside of Africa originated in Neanderthals or in Neanderthals' ancestors.

Flu Vaccines, pharma fraud, quack science, the CDC and WHO -- all exposed by Richard Gale and Gary Null

“The article is remarkable not just for its timeliness on the issue of mandatory vaccinations and public health policy, but also for its damning evidence that exposes the fraud and quackery of the vaccine industry (as well as the corruption at the CDC and WHO).”

Ed. Note: The relatively recently, significantly increased number of vaccinations and potential abuse of same in the U.S. is a critical topic which all Americans should become familiar with, especially those with children. Americans should acquaint themselves with comparisons of the components of vaccines manufactured in different countries and charges that U.S. vaccines are correlated with autism and other consequences. Political and financial motivations for mandatory vaccinations should be considered.

CERN Produces Mini Big Bangs

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland produced a flurry of “mini big bangs” on 7 November. Instead of the usual proton–proton collisions, the LHC started smashing lead ions, which produced dense fireballs with temperatures of about 10 trillion kelvin. At those temperatures, the atoms’ nuclei melt and become a quark–gluon plasma. The resultant plasma fireballs will allow physicists using the ALICE detector at CERN to study the universe as it was about a millionth of a second after the Big Bang.

Editor’s comments: This is an important revolution in cosmology and perhaps a coming new paradigm for exploring the postulated multiverse We, as humans, should honor these scientists and share pride in this great achievement.

How to become immortal: Upload your mind. According to Ian Pearson, a British futurist, death will be a thing of the past by 2050. Pearson is one of many futurists, cybernetic experts and artificial intelligence researchers whose thoughts are converging on the same basic idea: Why not upload everything that's in the brain—everything that makes a person who they are—into a computer and then download it again into a new body? Doing such a thing would make the individual theoretically immortal.

 All the Vaccines Are Contaminated Every Last One of Them

This story is relinked from David Icke’s website. The interviews with Merck’s Dr. Maurice Hilleman in the You Tube segments will literally scare the shit out of you. Ed. Note. Not only vaccines but organ transplants have the potential to carry highly dangerous infectious diseases. Again, I urge all Americans to educate themselves on this topic as most doctors seem to be ignorant and just prescribe vaccines to our young without any critical review. Vaccines need to be evaluated on a case by case basis.
