Key diagnostic system for experimental fusion reactor nears completion

In the universe, thermonuclear fusion is a common reaction: it is the source of energy for stars. On Earth, producing energy using this process is difficult due to problems with controlling the plasma emitting significant amounts of energy. Of critical importance here is the knowledge of the current state of the plasma and the power released in nuclear reactions. In the ITER reactor, this knowledge will be gathered by a sophisticated neutron flux diagnostic system.

NASA fuel storage research launches aboard resupply mission

Space missions rely on cryogenic fluids—extremely cold liquids like liquid hydrogen and oxygen—for both propulsion and life support systems. These fuels must be kept at ultra-low cryogenic temperatures to remain in liquid form; however, solar heating and other sources of heat increase the rate of evaporation of the liquid and cause the pressure in the storage tank to increase. Current storage methods require venting the cryogenic propellant to space to control the pressure in fuel tanks.

Sunlight in Stone: The Great Pyramid channeled, captured and encapsulated light (Video)

The Great pyramid of Giza was considered a tomb, but many authors and researchers firmly agree that it was a structure that channeled, captured and encapsulated light—it was meant to be the Sunlight in Stone

Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids using engineering techniques that are a wonder of the world

Ancient Egyptians are believed to have built the Pyramids thousands of years ago as massive tombs for their dead Pharaohs.

Until this day we still have no idea how the Pyramids were built, how the ancient Egyptians transported the massive blocks for quarries located up to 500 kilometers away, nor do we know how they managed to place the massive stones in such an intricate fashion, which eventually resulted in magnificent ancient structure such as the Great Pyramid of Giza.

In the same way as the Incas have been credited with the prehistoric stone work in Peru, so were the ancient Egyptians credited for the pyramids of Giza.

The only difference here is that the pyramids are conveniently labeled as “tombs” rather than temples.

Pyramid 2

Therefore, we have been told that the three pyramids of Giza, were constructed by three Pharaohs believed to date back to the third millennium BC – Khufu was usually known as Cheops, originally Khnum-Khufu, Khafra -also read as KhafreKhefren and Chephren, and Menkaure.

In this article, we take a look at the pyramid of Cheops.

It is commonly known as the Great Pyramid and represents the last survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

But did the Great Pyramid actually belong to Khufu , and if so, was it ever a tomb?

Many authors and researchers disagree that the great Pyramid was erected by Khufu, while also disagreeing with the notion that the Great Pyramid was used as a tomb.

The orthodox explanations behind the construction of the Egyptian pyramids, especially the one attributed to pharaoh Khufu have consistency whatsoever.

In fact, later studies and research silenced by the most conservative and traditional archaeologists, come to surprising conclusions: the ancient Egyptians knew a technique–now forgotten–that allowed them to “create” artificial stones.

Mystery behind Pyramid

Stones that today are seen millimetrically integrated into what is considered their greatest ever architectural feat.

For many, the matter is beyond doubt: Pharaoh Cheops reigned for 23 years, twenty of which he dedicated to the construction of the greatest monument that man has ever erected.

This entire idea comes from what was told in The Nine Books of History written by Herodotus:

“… As for the pyramid, twenty years were spent on construction…”

But let me ask you something right there…

Do you really believe that twenty years went by—7,000 years ago—as workers of the Copper Age raised with astonishing precision around two million six hundred thousand blocks of stone, each weighing 2 tons each (at least)?

This means that each year, they had to place 130,000 blocks of stone, which in turn means they had to place 360 a day.

If we make a rough calculation of the working day of ancient Egyptian labourers at that time, and say that it consisted of a 12-hour period, we get that for 20 years, without knowing the iron and the wheel, the architect of the Great Pyramid organized a work team that was capable of quarrying the massive stones, cutting them, and transporting them for up to hundreds of kilometers across the Nile, while somehow managing to lift these blocks up to a height of hundreds of meters, and place them into position with incredible precision, and ALL OF THAT in a record time of 120 seconds PER BLOCK.

This is of course according to orthodox explanations, who basically say that ancient Egyptian workers so close to the Paleolithic, were capable of fitting for twenty years a block onto the Great Pyramid every two minutes. Does that make any sense?

And while building the Great Pyramid in RECORD time, apparently they managed to incorporate countless mathematical formulas and places the Great Pyramid of Giza which such precision, that engineers, and architects which modern-day tools would have a hard time replicating their work.

QROCODILE experiment advances search for dark matter using superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors

Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have been trying to detect dark matter, an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, using a variety of highly sensitive detectors. Ultimately, these detectors should be able to pick up the very small signals that would indicate the presence of dark matter or its weak interactions with regular matter.

Mysterious artifacts with engravings of ‘Aliens’ and ‘Spaceships’ unearthed in Mexican Cave

YouTube Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/zSSztZzrAdM?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1

The mysterious artifacts—depicting strange beings with elongated heads, and oval-shaped eyes, as well as objects that resemble “spaceships” have been unearthed by a group of explorers in a Mexican cave.

A group of explorers has discovered in a Mexican cave evidence what they boast as the best evidence of alien contact on Earth.

The group of explorers recently visited the cave and explored it in detail.

The cave—part of three caves actually—is located between the cities of Veracruz and Puebla.

In two of the cases, researchers made unexpected discoveries including several carved stones with images that represent alien related engravings.

Furthermore, the group of explorers discovered a number of golden items in another cave.

On the surface of the stones, the group of researchers found evidence of what many people interpret as ‘extraterrestrial ships’ and ‘humanoid beings’; one of the stones, which was apparently fractured sometime in the past, supposedly shows the upper part of a spaceship together with a being which according to some people, is not from this world.

The depicted image features an alleged alien being standing next to an ancient ruler of a pre-Hispanic culture receiving a corncob, in addition to some other symbols that are still to be deciphered; these artifacts were dubbed “stones of the first encounter.”

The entire story sounds too good to be true—but is it?

It is reported that local legends speak of a mysterious ‘ship’ that has remained since time immemorial, hidden somewhere near the caves.

This was the main reason why the group of explorers set out to search the area three months ago.

Their search has yielded totally unexpected results. They have come across—what they believe is—the ultimate evidence that aliens beings visited Earth thousands of years ago, and had direct contact with ancient cultures inhabiting Mexico at that time.

What the discovery suggests or, what implications the group of explorers will have is still to be seen.

Jose Aguayo explained how INAH—The National Institute of Anthropology and History—can not say anything about the find since it is not typical archeology for one main reason; the artifacts depict things that contradict mainstream history and go everything we’ve been told about our history and origins.

“If at any given moment the National Institute of Anthropology and History decided to collect the artifacts, it would have huge implications for both sides since the INAH—an official government agency—would basically accept one of the most denied ‘facts’—the existence of beings not from Earth, who directly influenced ancient cultures around the globe.
