What is the scientific method? Here is how the Free Dictionary defines the process: “The principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis, and a […]

Make no mistake. Lead is a neurotoxin and can cause serious and irreversible damage. Children are the most vulnerable. Exposure can happen by inhalation of fumes or dust, eating paint chips, playing with contaminated toys or on contaminated land.  Lead exposure can happen by washing their hands, taking a bath, eating food cooked in contaminated water and drinking a […]

A day after Microsoft introduced an innocent Artificial Intelligence chat robot to Twitter it has had to delete it after it transformed into an evil Hitler-loving, incestual sex-promoting, ‘Bush did 9/11’-proclaiming robot. (Article by Helena Horton, republished from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/03/24/microsofts-teen-girl-ai-turns-into-a-hitler-loving-sex-robot-wit/) Developers at Microsoft created ‘Tay’, an AI modelled to speak ‘like a teen girl’, in order to improve the customer […]

The debate as to whether alcohol or marijuana is more harmful is not a new one. For years, medical-marijuana proponents and legalization advocates have asserted that cannabis is far safer than alcohol. And they’ve long maintained that it is hypocritical for a nation to allow alcohol marketing and sales while banning marijuana. Finally, a recent […]

The robot revolution is no longer a matter of what or how, but a matter of when. And it’s just a matter of 20 more years before we could be losing our jobs to more cost-efficient, and presumably, smarter artificial intelligence. Robots and artificial intelligence could boost productivity by 30% and cut costs by 90% […]

Meet the titanosaur: one of the world’s largest species of dinosaur, which recently made its first public appearance at New York’s Museum of Natural History (AMNH). The titanosaur is such a recent species to be unearthed that paleontologists have yet to give the extinct creature an official name, though it is known that the animal […]

Last Friday marked the fifth year anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster, and radiation levels are still too high for both humans and robots. The remote controlled robots that were sent into the crippled nuclear reactors have died due to toxic levels of radiation, which tampered with their wiring. In March 2011, a massive 9.0 […]

Kamalkant Shah, a lab technician who worked at a New Jersey State Police drug testing unit between 2005 and 2015, was caught fabricating test results late last year, calling into question the verdict of nearly 8,000 criminal cases that he had previously worked on. The integrity of Shah’s work was called into question in December […]

New Jersey’s largest school district has shut off water fountains at 30 school buildings due to concerns over elevated lead levels. Meanwhile, Governor Chris Christie said that efforts to protect children already exposed to lead are being “overdramatized.” Newark Public School decided to temporarily turn off the fountains where elevated levels of lead were recorded, […]

A giant fire ball smashed into the Atlantic earlier this month, which was largely unreported on by the mainstream media. Similar events have gone unnoticed in the past. All this in the round, why are major media outlets ignoring these frightening cosmic occurances? The incident took place on February 6th when a meteor exploded in […]

3D printed tissues and organs no longer exist solely in science fiction films like The Fifth Element. Scientists have created the first 3D printed ear, which puts literal blood on the tracks for the future of printed body parts. The researchers were able to accomplished this with a newly developed 3D printer, which replicates the […]

The UK government is now financially compensating at least 60 families in a multi-million-dollar settlement that is likely to grow, as more patients suffer from the effects of a faulty swine flu vaccine that has already caused numerous cases of brain damage among children. “The government is expected to receive a bill of approximately £60 million [$90.1 […]

In the article “Psycho Politics of Forced Mental Health Screenings” we discussed the findings of a paper entitled Political Conservatism as Motivation for Social Cognition. The authors of this paper, in a deliberate attempt to stir up discontent towards conservatism, highlighted their conclusions that conservatism is a rigid political philosophy that fears social change and […]

With a growing number of people recognizing the adverse and destructive health effects of WiFi radiation the need for natural solutions are greater than ever. While it may be difficult (especially in highly populated areas) to protect yourself from the influx of harmful WiFi radiation and their resulting EMFs, there are some great precautionary measures […]

The sun has a temper tantrum from time to time. Every solar climax, the sun unleashes a wave of solar flares, sunspots and coronal mass ejections. Most of these disturbances go unnoticed on Earth. The atmosphere serves as a shield from the solar storms. This doesn’t mean Earth is out of the woods, however. Solar […]
