On December 2, 2015, fourteen individuals were killed and many others wounded during a shooting at San Bernardino’s Inland Regional Center, a facility that provided services for the developmentally disabled, as reported by the New York Times. The event was classified as a terrorist attack, and the two shooters, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28 and Tashfeen Malik, 27, were […]

California politicians just love taxes. As reported by Caltax.org, the rates established for personal income and state sales taxes in the golden state are the highest in the nation. California’s corporate income tax is the highest in the west, and taxes on gasoline are ranked seventh in the U.S. Let’s not forget property taxes, which are “ranked 22nd highest nationally.” Add on […]

Independent science pioneer Mike Adams was awarded a U.S. patent for an innovation that eliminates radioactive cesium-137 from the gastrointestinal tract. In his podcast, the Health Ranger answers questions about his breakthrough invention. In particular, he explains why the product is not for sale and is only meant for cases of a nuclear fallout. The Cesium […]

A few weeks ago, New York Times Magazine ran a column that asks if it’s ok “to tinker with the environment to fight climate change.” The piece, written by Jon Gertner, discusses a proposal made by Harvard Professor David Keith to use ten Gulfstream jets to spray 25,000 tons of liquid sulfur gas into the […]

A Montreal-based company called Lyrebird has developed speech synthesis technology which can almost perfectly copy someone’s voice. And it can do so with very little data, needing only one minute of audio to extract the DNA of a human voice. The name is well chosen, since the Australian lyrebird is famous for its ability to […]

Just because he wears a bow tie and a lab coat doesn’t mean that he’s an authoritative source of all things true concerning science. But that’s how some people still perceive the charlatan known as Bill Nye “the science guy” of television fame, who has repeatedly turned down the opportunity to debate actual scientists in […]

Artificial intelligence is set to replace 50 percent of all jobs in the next 10 years, renowned technologist Kai-Fu Lee predicted. In a report published last year, Lee highlighted how artificial intelligence is starting to shape the world’s landscape. “AI is really changing every profession and every industry. There’s almost nothing that won’t be touched by AI. You could easily imagine education […]

2044 A.D.: Once upon a time, there were science books. Lots and lots of science books, all containing information on just about anything you can imagine. There were volumes on the health sciences. There were books about earth sciences, environmental science, and a plethora of studies – replicable, peer-reviewed and evidence-based – that provided knowledge […]

Researchers from Stanford University are doing their best to find a link between extreme weather events and climate change, but is it all for naught? While these researchers are admittedly conservative with their efforts, they are at least somewhat echoing the rhetoric that events like tornadoes are solely being caused by climate change. This, of […]

A recent conference on space rubbish revealed that more than 750,000 pieces of dangerous debris currently orbit the earth. According to experts, these debris may threaten the future of spaceflight. The experts noted that more than 5,250 launches have been conducted since 1957, which accounted for more than 23,000 tracked objects found in orbit and around […]

You can always tell when a Leftist is losing an argument. They always resort to false accusations of “isms” as a way to distract from the fact that their viewpoint has no substance and no basis in reality. Enter Kavin Senapathy, who inferred in Forbes recently that anyone who disputes Big Agriculture’s claim that “all […]

Think back to the old-school scary movies and shows. Remember the scene with the mad scientist mixing a crazy concoction of animal and human blood with toxins such as formaldehyde, E. coli, and a host of other strange and twisted ingredients? Or how about the old Shakespearean era plays with witches and sorcerers brewing a […]

An artificial intelligence system designed to render pictures into the styles of famous children’s book illustrators did not turn out quite well, a recent report revealed. According to the report, the resulting images were a far cry from child-friendly pictures, but instead showed “apocalyptic nightmare” and “hellish” versions of children’s books. The AI’s concept was based on a […]

When you stop and take time to think about it, it’s incredible how much personal information is collected from us on a day-to-day basis. In the middle of most American cities, you would be hard-pressed to walk even one hundred feet without seeing a traffic camera watching your every move. Certain types of televisions and […]

Solar flares may negatively impact the planet’s power grids, railway systems, and underground pipelines through a phenomenon called geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), a recent study found. These effects may disrupt food logistics, manufacturing, electronic transactions and internet functions, experts warn. To examine how solar storm-induced GICs affect the planet’s structures, scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) collaborated […]
