EEG correlation papers, the first pillar toward the evidence of psi phenomena
Dr. Dean Radin recently posted a great list of scientific papers that cover studies on EEG correlation between separate individuals. It can be argued that the first pillar of establishing evidence for psi phenomena is in EEG correlation. These studies provide a great starting point if you’d like to research the topic for yourself.
wind power generation connected via transmission spanning the atlantic
A recent study proposes a solution for one of the biggest problems facing large scale wind power generation, the intermittence of wind leading to a generation profile that’s difficult for utilities to manage. The authors propose wind turbines all along the Atlantic coast of the US connected via transmission to mitigate this problem.
can an experimenter determine his or her reality?
Unfortunately the claims of quantum mechanics get overblown by new age philosophers in the vein of “What the Bleep do we Know” and other such meaningless extrapolations of quantum physics, e.g. just because an electron takes every possible path to travel from point A to point B that doesn’t me we can. However, this doesn’t [...]
why we consume alcohol
This is definitely the most brilliant economics paper I’ve read in a while. First the abstract, It is argued that drug consumption, most commonly alcohol drinking, can be a technology to give up some control over one’s actions and words. It can be employed by trustworthy players to reveal their type. Similarly alcohol can function [...]
everything is a black hole?
I’ve been following Nassim Haramein’s Resonance Project as close a possible once I learned about his work on a unified field theory of physics. Interestingly though, it does not involve strings or anything like that. The model has specific and testable values.
how much does the earth control the stock market?
Global financial stock markets are curious things. So curious in fact, that we need to determine the effect of geomagnetic fields on the indices. An awesome paper from Anna Krivelyova and Cesare Robotti of the Federal Reserve Board of Atlanta in 2003 proposes a link between geomagnetic fields and stock market performance. The evidence presented [...]
a serious look at the US $ being replaced as the global reserve currency
An interesting paper from and NBER Conference back in 2005, Might the dollar eventually follow the precedent of the pound and cede its status as leading international reserve currency? Unlike the last time this question was prominently discussed, ten years ago, there now exists a credible competitor: the euro. This paper econometrically estimates determinants of [...]
can information tell us what is real?
A new physical principle: Information Causality. In recent years physicists have discovered an entire class of theories that do the same kind of thing. The question is which one do we choose? A few can be ruled out because they simplify various computational tasks in implausible ways. But the rest have seemed more or less [...]
more evidence for the failure of civilization
From the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, Civilization’s Cost: The Decline and Fall of Human Health Ann Gibbons Agriculture and cities made human life better, right? Wrong, say archaeologists who presented stunning new evidence at the American Association of Physical Anthropologists meeting.
