Microscopic worm could hold clues to Mars colonization. Colonize Mars with worms before people come.

The experiment began in 2006 when the Space Shuttle Discovery transported a population of 4,000 C. elegans to the International Space Station where, over three months, twelve generations of the nematodes successfully reproduced in low Earth orbit, their well-being remotely monitored

many of the biological changes that happen during spaceflight affect astronauts and worms and in the same way. We have been able to show that worms can grow and reproduce in space for long enough to reach another planet and that we can remotely monitor their health.

As a result C. elegans is a cost effective option for discovering and studying the biological effects of deep space missions.

Ultimately, we are now in a position to be able to remotely grow and study an animal on another planet."

In 1998 this worm became the first multicellular organism to have its entire genome sequenced.

This found that 2,000 of its 20,000 genes pertain to muscle function, and it's understood that 50 to 60 percent of these have counterparts in humans.

U.S. deploys the Switchblade Miniature Kamikaze Personal Killer Electric Drone. Remote War by Robots on People.

it carries a warhead, so if a target of opportunity presents itself, the Switchblade has imaging sensors capable of identifying, tracking and guiding itself right to just that person, with minimal collateral damage.

light enough to be man-packable, simple enough to be deployed in minutes and can fly off over the horizon sending back video.

It can loiter and watch silently (it's electric) and is so small that it is very difficult to detect at night, even at close range.

Owners, rules of the world, top 2 % own 50%. Top 1% own 40%. Situation getting only worse. Feudalism, slavery, wars.

2% of adults in the world own more than half of global household wealth.

the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total.

In contrast, the bottom half, 50% of the world adult population owned barely 1% of global wealth.

Medieval feudalism, cancer of humanity, robbery, slavery, wars, exploitation.

Invisibility coming: carbon nanotubes could allow objects to disappear. Next basic tenets.

via gizmag.com

When we see an object, it's because it scatters and reflects light that strikes it - the more that an object obstructs incoming light, the more visible that object is.

It turns out that a coating of low-density aligned carbon nanotubes, however, allows light to pass into it with little more resistance than that light experiences when moving through the air.

This means little of the light is scattered or reflected, with most of it instead being essentially "absorbed."

>>>> wait a minute
so other possible advanced civilization already are using it, logically.
so there is a lot of invisible objects around us, right?
it only makes sense

Deep philosophical changes, massive paradigm shifts, are awaiting human world.

Next basic tenets of our worlds:
1. Nothing is real.
2. Anything is possible.
3. A Moment lasts eternity.
4. Immortality

Laptop Wi-Fi Said to Nuke Sperm. Damage to DNA, culprit? Electromagnetic radiation from wireless communication

via nwotruth.com

semen samples from 29 healthy men, placed a few drops under a laptop connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi and then hit download.

Four hours later, the semen was, eh, well-done. (Read more…) A quarter of the sperm were no longer swimming around, for instance, compared to just 14 percent from semen samples stored at the same temperature away from the computer.

DisplAir brings interactivity to FogScreen projection display

via gizmag.com

FogScreen technology - display system that projects images onto a curtain of fog so they appear to float in the air

Now Russian company DisplAir has added some interactivity to the technology by giving it multi-touch capabilities that allows users to manipulate projected images in mid-air.

DisplAir says its interactive display is able to handle up to 1,500 finger taps simultaneously to accommodate multiple users with 1 cm (0.39 in) accuracy and a time delay of less than 0.2 seconds
