Black holes do NOT exist and the Big Bang Theory is wrong
Black holes do NOT exist and the Big Bang Theory is wrong, claims scientist - and she has the maths to prove it
- Scientist claims she has mathematical proof black holes cannot exist
- She said it is impossible for stars to collapse and form a singularity
- Professor Laura Mersini-Houghton said she is still in 'shock' from the find
- Previously, scientists thought stars much larger than the sun collapsed under their own gravity and formed black holes when they died
- During this process they release a type of radiation called Hawking radiation
- But new research claims the star would lose too much mass and wouldn't be able to form a black hole
- If true, the theory that the universe began as a singularity, followed by the Big Bang, could also be wrong

Scientists discover an ocean 400 miles beneath our feet that could fill our oceans three times over
Scientists discover an ocean 400 miles beneath our feet that could fill our oceans three times over
After decades of theorizing and searching, scientists are reporting that they’ve finally found a massive reservoir of water in the Earth’s mantle — a reservoir so vast that could fill the Earth’s oceans three times over. This discovery suggests that Earth’s surface water actually came from within, as part of a “whole-Earth water cycle,” rather than the prevailing theory of icy comets striking Earth billions of years ago. As always, the more we understand about how the Earth formed, and how its multitude of interior layers continue to function, the more accurately we can predict the future. Weather, sea levels, climate change — these are all closely linked to the tectonic activity that endlessly churns away beneath our feet.
This new study, authored by a range of geophysicists and scientists from across the US, leverages data from the USArray — an array of hundreds of seismographs located throughout the US that are constantly listening to movements in the Earth’s mantle and core. After listening for a few years, and carrying out lots of complex calculations, the researchers believe that they’ve found a huge reserve of water that’s located in the transition zone between the upper and lower mantle — a region that occupies between 400 and 660 kilometers (250-410 miles) below our feet

Humanist "Science" finally catches up to what the Bible has recorded all along...
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Genesis 7:11

Scientists At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider Hope To Make Contact With PARALLEL UNIVERSE In Days
The Event Horizon – Scientists At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider Hope To Make Contact With PARALLEL UNIVERSE In Days!
If successful a completely new universe will be revealed – rewriting not only the physics books but the philosophy books too. It is even possible that gravity from our own universe may ‘leak’ into this parallel universe, scientists at the LHC say.

Netanyahu pollster: Obama role in election larger than reported
President Obama's role during the Israeli elections was larger than reported, according to a pollster for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. "What was not well reported in the American media is that President Obama and his allies were playing in the election to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu," John McLaughlin, a Republican strategist, said in an interview on John Catsimatidis's "The Cats Roundtable" radio show broadcast Sunday on AM 970 in New York.

Diplomat: Obama Seeking 'Revenge' on Netanyahu
"The White House has three main motives," the source explained to Walla! News. "One, revenge (for Netanyahu's speech in Congress). Two, frustration. It's no secret that they were involved in an attempt to bring down the Netanyahu and we know that clearly, and they have failed. Three, the government's attempt to shift the focus from them because the negotiations with Iran to the Palestinian issue."

Ted Cruz is Running for President as the anti-Obama
His speech Monday morning, March 23, in Virginia hammered out his core message: with Cruz you’ll have the antidote to all that has gone wrong under the Obama administration. The Texas senator intended to repeal “every word” of the Obamacare legislation and to dismantle the Internal Revenue Service, as well as rescind illegal immigration amnesty.

Ethics of Embryo Editing Divides Scientists
CDC's 'inconsistent' lab practices threaten its credibility, report says
The report was put together by an external group of 11 experts in biosafety, laboratory science and research. In the report, they say they are "very concerned that the CDC is on the way to losing credibility."
The report was put together by an external group of 11 experts in biosafety, laboratory science and research. In the report, they say they are "very concerned that the CDC is on the way to losing credibility."
Research that uses powerful gene-editing techniques on human embryos needs to be restricted, scientists agree — but they are split over why. The concerns are laid out in an article published in Nature on 12 March and in one expected to appear in Science, amid suspicions that scientists have already edited the genes of human embryos.
In what is being dubbed “the most important new genetic engineering technique since the beginning of the biotechnology age in the 1970s,” scientists have made an enormous breakthrough in editing human genetic material. The possibilities of the technology are so vast that scientists themselves are already calling for ethical discussion and restraint.

Common Core: pliant proletariat workers for crony capitalist corporations
During a late evening visit to our local restaurant, I witnessed a progressive middle-aged couple pleading with their young child to give up a toy she had taken from her playmate’s home. As they were arguing back and forth, loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear, all I could think of was, why bring a small child so late to a restaurant and, for God’s sake, isn’t anybody in charge of their children anymore?

Crossing the boundaries between Kinds
Genetic engineering experiments that agriculture and drug companies have conducted or are conducting include:
Genes from the humans were put into sheep in Aotearoa (New Zealand), in hopes that the sheep would produce a drug to be used against emphysema. Some people agreed to give genetic samples, but nobody consented to having them put into sheep. (PPL Therapeutics of Scotland, in conjunction with Selbourne Pharmaceuticals)
In Virginia, human genes have been introduced into cows, in order to have the cows produce human breast milk, in a collaboration between PPL therapeutics and infant formula companies.
Spider genes were put into goats, so that goats will produce silk genes in their milk. The company doing this plans to use the silk for bullet proof vests and anti-ballistic missile systems (Nexia Biotechnologies of Canada)
Snake and scorpion genes were introduced into plants to produce virus resistant crops.
Mice have been genetically engineered to produce human proteins in their semen. The plan is to later use this same technique with pigs.
Spider venom has been patented for use in crops by AstraZenaca, scorpion venom has been patented by Agracetus/Monsanto, while snake venom for use in plants has been patented by Biogen Inc. Should venom be used in food crops? Should a corporation have a patent, giving it an exclusive right to do this?
Man-made copies of the flounder fish's anti-freeze gene have been inserted into potatoes, tobacco, and tomatoes to try to make them more resistant to frosts.

The Food and Drug Administration does not require safety testing and labelling of genetically engineered foods. This is after a controversial decision by the agency in 1992 to categorize all genetically modified foods as ñgenerally regarded as safe (The agency is currently facing a class action suit by an alliance of public interest groups).
The following plants are being genetically engineered and have been released into the environment: alfalfa, apple, asparagus, barley, beet, belladonna, bermudagrass, carrot, chicory, chrysanthemum, coffee, corn, cotton, cranberry, creeping bentgrass, cucumber, eggplant, gladiolus, grape, grapefruit, kentucky bluegrass, lettuce, melon, oat, onion, papaya, pea, pear, peanut, pelargonium, pepper, petunia, persimmon, perennial ryegrass, pine, pineapple, plum, poplar, potato, rapeseed, rice, soybean, spruce, squash, strawberry, sugarcane, sunflower, sweetgum, sweet potato, tobacco, tomato, walnut, wheat.

TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE, OWNING LIFE, AND BIODIVERSITY
74% of the plant-based medicines consumed in the United States are plant medicines developed and used by indigenous peoples. Pharmaceutical companies are going direct to indigenous communities and traditional healers to find the plants and traditional ways of using them, because they have a 60% greater chance of identifying pharmaceutical potential, than when they randomly screen plants.

90-95% of all species that ever lived are extinct. Crop diversity is eroding at a rate of around 2% per year. More than 34,000 species worldwide (12.5% of all the world»s plant life) are facing extinction. Every higher-order plant that disappears takes at least 30 other species with it (insects, fungi, bacteria). Livestock diversity may be eroding at the rate of 5% yearly (6 breeds every month). The US has lost more than 80% of its vegetable seed varieties since 1904. In just 50 years, China has lost more than 90% of its traditional wheat varieties.

Despite Supreme Court support, Veterans group caves to Sodomites
St Patrick's Day: Gay groups march in Boston parade
Gay and lesbian groups have officially joined a St Patrick's Day parade in the US city of Boston for the first time. Until now, they had been banned by the organisers, who won support for their stance from the US Supreme Court. But the organisers, the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council, had a change of heart and told Boston Pride and Outvets, representing gay military veterans, they were welcome.

Restaurants in Seattle Going Dark as $15 an Hour Minimum Wage Looms
Seattle’s $15 minimum wage law goes into effect on April 1, 2015. As that date approaches, restaurants across the city are making the financial decision to close shop. Of course, restaurants close for a variety of reasons. But, according to Seattle Magazine, the “impending minimum wage hike to $15 per hour” is playing a “major factor.” That’s not surprising, considering “about 36% of restaurant earnings go to paying labor costs.” Seattle Magazine, “Washington Restaurant Association’s Anthony Anton puts it this way: “It’s not a political problem; it’s a math problem.”

Transplanting a human head onto a donor body may sound like the stuff of science fiction comics, but not to Italian doctor Sergio Canavero. He has not only published a paper describing the operation in detail, but also believes that the surgery could be a reality as early as 2017.

150 Years Later, Democrats Are Still Fighting Efforts to End Slavery
The Democratic Party is the Party of Slavery. They are the party that decided to secede from the Union. They are the party that started a Civil War over the right to treat people as property. They are the party that, once their side lost the war, set up structures to keep American citizens from exercising their civil rights.
And now, 150 years after the Civil War, the Democratic Party is at it again.
Republicans were leading a bipartisan effort to stop slavery around the world. Human trafficking is a terrible issue. It affects children in this country and women elsewhere. It destroys families and lives. And the Democrats are backing strong, bipartisan legislation.
Why?
Because the Democrats still believe people can be property. They believe people can killed. And they want the government to do it.
Yes, the reality is that the same arguments used by Democrats 150 years ago to defend the institution of slavery are now used to defend the institution of abortion and, in the process, Democrats are willing to filibuster a bill to fight slavery around the world.
