Researchers present simplified, improved scheme for precision measurement using lasers

Within atomic and laser physics communities, scientist John “Jan” Hall has become a key figure in the history of laser frequency stabilization and precision measurement using lasers. Hall’s work revolved around understanding and manipulating stable lasers in ways that were revolutionary for their time. His work laid a technical foundation for measuring a tiny fractional distance change brought by a passing gravitational wave. His work in laser arrays awarded him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2005. …read more […]

Did Ancient Astronauts Tamper With Human DNA Thousands Of Years Ago?

abstract-head - Did Ancient Astronauts Tamper With Human DNA Thousands Of Years Ago?

According to the Ancient Astronaut theory, in the distant past, before the dawn of civilizations, intelligent extraterrestrial beings tampered with human DNA on Earth to create mankind as we know it. According to numerous theories which seem ever more possible in recent years, ancient mankind was genetically manipulated in the past. Without this genetic manipulation, which explains the abrupt rise in human intelligence and fast development, civilization as we know it would probably still not exist today. This is the missing link in the history of mankind.

Solid-state qubits: Forget about being clean, embrace mess

New findings debunk previous wisdom that solid-state qubits need to be super dilute in an ultra-clean material to achieve long lifetimes. Instead, cram lots of rare-earth ions into a crystal, and some will form pairs that act as highly coherent qubits, shows paper in Nature Physics. …read more […]

These are the World’s oldest Pyramids

px-FigueirinhaICentral - These are the World’s oldest Pyramids

According to reports, the world’s OLDEST Pyramids have been discovered on the Atlantic Coast of Southern Brazil. That is of course if you ignore all other ‘provocative’ discoveries such as the Pyramids of Bosnia, Indonesia or Antarctica, and the fact that we have no idea what the exact age of the Pyramids of Giza is.

Just like the Pyramids in other countries, these found in South America are believed to have been built for religious purposes. Near the mysterious structures, researchers discovered hundreds of human burials and grave goods which include stone plaques, shell breastplates on a series of figurines representing numerous …read more […]

F--image-a- - Indonesia holds Key to a 20,000 year old lost Civilization

With the numerous discoveries made over the past 10 years, it is clear that civilizations have existed on Earth much sooner than previously believed. One of those ancient ‘lost’ civilizations could be around 20,000 years old and found in Indonesia. If these structures prove to be the real deal (they are being battered by mainstream scholars and tagged as a hoax) then we are looking at a whole new page in our history books, one that changes everything we know about civilizations, origin of mankind and humans on Earth. No one knew that the Pyramid was a pyramid until geological …read more […]

Archaeologists discover 2,400-year-old solid gold ‘bongs’ used by Aryan kings to smoke cannabis at ceremonies

gold-bong - Archaeologists discover 2,400-year-old solid gold ‘bongs’ used by Aryan kings to smoke cannabis at ceremonies

Archaeologists have uncovered two 2,400-year-old pure gold ‘bongs’ that were used by Aryan tribal chiefs to smoke cannabis during ceremonies. The historic drug paraphernalia was found alongside 7lbs of other gold items when an area of land was dug up in Russia to make way for power lines. The items had been buried in a stone chamber before being concealed by a thick layer of clay.

Criminologists have since carried out tests which indicate that the thick, black residue found inside the vessels comes from the cannabis and opium which the tribal royal smoked. Experts believe the items belonged to the …read more […]
