One could remember backwards , and recall , Changes of attitude , Changes of experience, Changes of conditions , Changes in out-look, Changes in work, technology, style, safety, hope, aspiration , and a host of other interesting changes. Has this given us a bright view for the future ? More ...? And more ......? Mike

http://allnewspipeline.com/Strange_Beams_Of_Light.php Ignorant friends on my facebook feed are driving me nuts conspiring about whether this is aliens or the sign of the end times. The pursuit of a true scientific or naturalistic explanation for what these things are never enters the discussion. So can someone please tell me what these things are. or are likely to be so I can throw a monkey wrench in these people's hoax machine? If you've got links to credible sites explaining what they are, even better! Thanks!

How do I deal with people who live in their own world? my mom has some crazy beliefs and dosen't really pay attention to anything in this world. My mom believes in breatharianism ,this is what it is http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Breatharianism (but she dosen't think there's any space ship) She thinks that people can live without food and water. She thinks that a person can turn partially into a god and live without food and water. she also believes in chacras, does yoga and believes that some people are magical. Every time I talk to her about finding a job or just asking for advice on something she always brings up her beliefs and her solution to anything is somethi…

Dear scientists there might exist easy questions ,these is my first application as I said. and other journal's editor advised me to submit another journl. Then I am going to submit nature physics. questions 1) what that mean double blind ,peer review ? 2) when I submitted "nature - methods" ,the system asked , "do you permit to referees learn your name - surname ..etc ,what should be chosen (I thought it would be better if we do not permit,to be more objective (assessment) ,but when the decision explained to my e-mail by editor ,already the chief editor contacted me,I mean she learnt me or already knew ) Some Important questions ( I request -anyone who…

I was sleeping awake this morning and i saw a weird dream memory vision of a place named baroda india. This place has a weird history of what not written in books. Like as if it has seen many a days of plunder, wars and bloodshed. Like have u seen "gandhi movie" that the director of the maker of movie perhaps likes to hide away the real picture from the viewers and the coming generations. Also the history books of indian point of view is also not correct. In the star movies that i used to see in yester years the movie cinematography of england ruling power of indian monarchy. So what i saw in my mind memories that once baroda was a center of political war power of india…

What does everyone think? Also, is brown sugar significantly more healthy than white refined sugar? If so, what's the reason?

Hi everyone! I am new to posting on this forum but wanted to ask you all who is your favorite magician and why?

Can anybody here speak Greek? I am after losing my wallet while on holidays last week but it was handed in to a restaurant in heraklion greece called the arinasand 003022810761135 unfortunately I am having trouble giving them my email..

Noticed the foam the computer arrived in was just the right size Not really a sensible material for a bookshelf, but it was fun.

I'm about to buy a new computer and have the choice of windows 7 or 10. I'm comfortable with 7 and would be happy to stick with it, but I'll change if 10 is worth the effort. Help would be appreciated.

For a TV veteran this is simply unbearable. 10-15 years ago Discovery Channel, Science Channel etc. all showed content that matched the purpose those channels were created for and was fun to watch. Now both of these show mostly some BS about cars, explosions and guys making moonshine... where is science in all of this!? The Science Channel is the least affected by this phenomenon but Discovery Channel is a completely different channel than what it started. The worst case is, arguably, History Channel. It was once obsessed with WW2 but at least showed historical content. Now it's schedule is completelty dominated by programs about aliens and tough guys in rural Uni…

Hi! I just always wonder if I am the one and only, no joke, but are u also a photo messy? I seem like to collect thousands of them on my phone, are you all the same type like I am oder are you constantly sort them out or transfer them?

Hello everyone, Is there any body in this forum who is currently an active member in India Mike or in The Physics Forum ?

I met my fiancee 2008, and we're getting married in October 2017. Each year since the first year I met her, I've become increasing resentful and flat out disgusted with her family. For starters, my fiancee is an artist, and is just beginning to make a business out of her work after 5 years of struggling. Her family pays no attention to her at all, and yet they praise their drop out son whose a drug dealer (for which they already know..hes been arrested twice) and "bought" a portion of a landscaping company, so now he's a "co-owner". They act as though he walks on water. They're racist bigots threatening to disown her older sister for dating a black man, and no offense to …

Advertising link removed per Rule 2.7 Hi, I live in Australia. How can I buy the videos to the above series? Does anyone here know? Regards, james_pain

my friend and mom thinks we should all be intuitive eaters. I dont agree with intuitive eating .which is the notion that people crave the things their body needs and you should follow what your body needs. i just feel like no one agrees with me on this point and i feel like im weird. there is a disorder called pica http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/mental-health-pica it is a disorder where you crave things that are not nutritional. I have family members that loved eating candy but they need to eat something else to stay healthy, and you have to force them, they dont like most vegetables. The site only said what percentage of institutionalized people have pica. I am wond…

I know the Canadians cyber stalk me and have for years and it's like dealing with an epic retard group of people. No matter where I go on the Internet and try to talk it's like the same puny minded degenerate personality showing up within minutes to slather it retardation all over everything I do. It's so irritating to have delusional, stupid molester creep retarded unwanted Canadians force their unwanted pig existences to be a part of reality. It's so irritating. Just imagine an ugly, insignificant, unwanted, degenerate, retarded, mutant, freak pig trying to talk to down to someone better than them in every possible way. You people are scat eating creeps that…

Has anyone here witnessed events on divining; failed or successful ? Bring your story. Some municipal water companies have their 'expert' along with the electronic equipment operator to search for leaks. What is behind the smoke cloud and mirrors worth evaluating? Once I had in my hands a device (very well made) to 'detect' gold, silver, and... paper money. The 'instrument' was not cheap, with a user manual with a weird explanation of principle of operation using some 'solar rays bounce detection' A scam/ripoff/whatever ? that had its believers. Found some pictures : ----> http://simmonsscientificproducts.com/images/pmr2_power_tube.gif ----> http://simm…

Hi. Is there a reason that nobody (that I know of) has ever attempted to complain or eliminate support and media non-electric automobiles and motorcycles riding next and together with bicycles on competitions; injecting their exhaust fumes to athletes that are exerting intense physical extenuation ?

This is really easy to understand so please don't waste my time trying to convince me I'm wrong. A child could understand this stuff. There really is a being(s) here that is able to change aspects of reality. Photos, text, objects etc. it's been doing so in artistic ways for me for years since I notice the being. Here's some pics of its art. Some stuff is hard to see and it did so on purpose. Others, like the recent pic of a primitive primate head cloud are simple to see. Instagram.com/chrisbb287 It's not a joke. The being(s) are using some means to mind control life including humans. it created a language story with real people, including myself, and has been…

To me this is news, but it isn't new. Don't know where to post this thread. This factory is, I think, one of the first; more are being made. 50 units/day*365 days/yr=18,250 units/yr 2001 to 2016 is 15 years 18,250 units/yr * 15 yr = 273,750 units

Have you ever had need? I did recently for the first time in my very long years. Although expected, what an odd experience it was to be without memory of some mental and perceptual experience while under. It was oblivion, which was quite unlike the sleep and dreaming state I study and enjoy. It was, perhaps, a taste of the blissful hereafter I've imagined--nothingness. It's odd I wasn't interested before now in the affects of anesthesia on the brain given my interests. If you were ever unlucky to have had need for general anesthesia, what were your perceptual experiences if any?

Once in 1999 i was busy solving mathematics and physics theories and numericals...suddenly i realized that someone through my mind is overlooking through my eyes what i was doing. So i asked who is it? And the reply came as a american businessman in his 40s with cool american english accent was studying me. At that time i was only 17 year old and he said he was with his colleagues. He praised me for my intelligence and problem solving skills. He then one day did a advanced telepathy mind simulation with me. Said that i would give you a suitable mind moving pictures and u have to see it yourself. He asked me to hold something in my hand. And two hands appeared in front of …
