Some day soon brain hacking will be the single most dangerous and powerful tool that the government has access to. It’s called “brain signal hacking,” and modest forms of it have already begun to appear in social media. Social media and heavy use of the internet have already begun hijacking our minds. Google, for example, […]

The ten dogmas of the prevailing scientific worldview are proving to be unreliable; at least, according to the provocative insights of biologist Dr. Rubert Sheldrake in his book Science Set Free. Dr. Sheldrake gave a brief lecture on his book at a TED talk in 2013. Unfortunately, TEDx decided to ban Dr. Sheldrake’s lecture because he […]

One of the trademarks that distinguishes robots from humans is the ability to reproduce. This dividing between man and machine just got blurrier. Researchers in Amsterdam have created robots that can mate and spawn offspring through a process similar to human reproduction. Robots have created quite a stir in the media recently, as more and more […]

Foxconn Technology Group, a Taiwanese company which produces iPhones and iPads, is the latest major tech business to lay-off several of its employees in favor of robots. Foxconn has been trying to replace its employees with robots for quite sometime in order to save money and boost profits. “The Foxconn factory has reduced its employee […]

A toy-like cardboard device that sells for less than $20 helped saved a baby’s life, who was so sick that doctors advised her parents to take her home to die. The contraption, Google Cardboard, resembles a set of big square goggles. If you stick your iPhone inside along with the correct app, you can see […]

Space, the final frontier. Folks like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Richard Branson and a thousand others in between and around NASA, are spending millions to hewn the road to space. Included in this mix is a young visionary from California named Justin Lewis-Weber. He’s not aiming for Mars, however. He’s proposing a plan to increase solar energy to planet Earth. How? Just put solar […]

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will spur sentient robots that ought to be granted human rights, argues Oxford University professor and mathematician, Marcus du Sautoy,  for the public understanding of science. “It’s getting to a point where we might be able to say this thing has a sense of itself and maybe there is a […]

An assembly of 25 scientists Thursday initiated a proposal to create the first synthetic human genome in the lab. The synthetic genome plan was a product of two behind-the-scenes meetings. One was based in New York last year and the other happened May 10 at Harvard University, noted the Washington Post. The recent announcement was […]

MIT researchers claim to have created the first five-atom quantum computer capable of cracking traditional encryption methods, potentially enabling the government to crack all encryption in seconds. In traditional computing, numbers are represented by 0’s and 1’s. In quantum computing, however, these units are referred to as “qubits”, and can occupy a superposition of different […]

Although marijuana has been researched for medical use, not nearly enough research has been undertaken, because the marijuana plant is considered a dangerous drug with no medical benefits at all. Until this is changed, more research cannot be done into the medical benefits of the plant. So far, studies have shown that marijuana has the […]

Robert Hannigan is the Director of the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHK). That agency name is chalk full of Orwellian intent. This communications group was not created for government transparency on the behalf of British tax payers. No, this is another arrow in the quiver of a global scientific dictatorship. GCHK is actually an electronic surveillance and eavesdropping unit, comparable to the U.S. National […]

Manuel Guzman, a biochemist who has studied cannabis for 20 years in Spain, has captured the headlines when it comes to brain cancer. Clinical trials based on Guzman’s work are now underway at St. James’ University Hospital in Leeds, England. Neuro-oncologists are treating patients with aggressive brain tumors in England with a combination of temozolomide […]

Among all the far-out, futuristic claims peddled by Elon Musk at this year’s annual Code Conference in Southern California, his ideas about “neural lace” were arguably the most interesting. “We’re already a cyborg,” said Musk. “You have a digital version of yourself, a partial version of yourself online in the form of your emails, your […]

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently made claims that humans are very likely to become the equivalent of stupid “house pets” for robots with artificial intelligence. His solution? Implant a form of technology into our brains that allows us to compete with the machines. Musk has recommended a “neural lace” – a brain implant that can […]

Young people may have their first sexual encounter with robots in the near future, according an expert, which could hinder their ability to form meaningful relationships. Speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival, professor Noel Sharkey from Sheffield University cautioned that android sex dolls may have damaging reverberations for society. “Sex robots are accessible now and […]
