The work of M.C. Escher needs no introduction. We have all learned to appreciate the impossibilities that this master of illusion's artwork presents to the layman's eye. Nevertheless, it may come as a surprise for some, but many of the so-called 'impossible' drawings of M. C. Escher can be realized as actual physical objects. These objects will resemble the Escher's drawing, of the same name, from a certain viewing direction. This work below presents some of these three-dimensional models that were designed and built using geometric modeling and computer graphics tools.. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/43023-mc-escher-for-realThe work of M.C.

“A secret document prepared for Prime Minister Putin by Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is claiming that President Medvedev confirmed in his extended meeting with Pope Benedict XVI in February 2011 that the new planet named Tyche (pronounced ty-kee) by NASA will be appearing in the Earth’s night sky by 2012. Though the existence of this planet had long been known to the ancients, it has only been in the past year that Western scientists have begun informing their citizens about this unprecedented event soon to occur, but who are, also, still failing to tell how catastrophic its appearance will be....... http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/submit-an-article/42993-nibiru-great-arrival-of-planet-x-timeline-of-2012-cataclysm“A secret document prepared for Prime Minister Putin by Russia’s Ministry... more

Salutations Lulz Lizards, As we're aware, the government and whitehat security terrorists across the world continue to dominate and control our Internet ocean.

In science fiction movies, when robots talk to one another it's not really a "language" as much as a stream of beeps or long strings of binary. Even so, one group of Australian researchers have managed to teach robots to do something that, until now, was the reserve of humans and a few other animals: they've taught them how to invent and use spoken language.
The goal of the research is to understand how language evolves and develops naturally over time. Since it's impossible to find two humans who have no language and experiment with them to see how they invent one, the University of Queensland and the Queensland University of Technology researchers decided to use robots instead. The robots, called LingoDroids, are equipped with microphones, speakers, cameras, range finders, and sonar that they use to map their surroundings and speak to one another. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/42967-lingodroid-project-robots-taught-to-invent-own-languageIn science fiction movies, when robots talk to one another it's not really a... more

Otomata is a generative sequencer. It employs a cellular automaton type logic I’ve devised to produce sound events. Each alive cell has 4 states: Up, right, down, left. at each cycle, the cells move themselves in the direction of their internal states. If any cell encounters a wall, it triggers a pitched sound whose frequency is determined by the xy position of collision, and the cell reverses its direction. If a cell encounters another cell on its way, it turns itself clockwise. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/album-rewievs/42944-otomata-online-generative-music-instrumentOtomata is a generative sequencer.

For so many years we thought the main cause of stomach ulcers to be stress and/or spicy food.
This, until somebody rediscovered that the main cause was a bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori.
A Greek practitioner was actually the first one in 1958 to treat ulcers with antibiotics and approach this infection differently than anybody else.
What does this have to do with Einstein, cancer and a possible cure?
Follow me a little more and I will get to the point.
I stumbled upon Dr. Tullio Simoncini's possible cure to cancer and could not believe how different and original his approach to this disease was and is. He thinks that cancer is a FUNGUS!
Let me make this clear now, I do not know if this cure actually works, if this theory is correct, what fascinates me about it, is his APPROACH just like in the example above regarding stomach ulcers.
I believe that the approach is more important than the thinking itself. It's where we direct our thinking that counts the most. All the thinking that comes after that is just a consequence of that premise/direction and nobody could explain this better than Aristotele.
It's syllogism or more exactly deductive reasoning.
Here is where Einstein also comes into play:
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
And:
"To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science."
Said this, watch the video below to know more about the theory of Cancer as a fungus, open your mind, do not judge its correctness but instead its new perspective. After all, that is how Einstein got to think of the Universe as no one else before.
We all need to focus on this if we want to solve the problems of our world.
This is where all cures lie.

Faced with the worst environmental disaster in history, Obama wants change. He just won't fight for it.
June 15, 2010 |
There's no getting around it: President Barack Obama's speech on the BP oil disaster was an overwhelming disappointment. Despite confirming support for stronger regulation of offshore drilling and the development of a national clean energy agenda, Obama failed to offer any policies to actually prevent the kind of catastrophe currently playing out on the Gulf, and refused to coalesce around any specific measures to wean the United States off of fossil fuels. Faced with the gravest environmental catastrophe in American history, it is clear that Obama believes sweeping change is necessary. It is equally clear that he is unwilling to fight for that change.
Obama did at least reiterate his support for a six-month moratorium on new permits for deepwater oil drilling, but offered no proposals for dealing with drilling in shallow waters, and no long-term solutions for how to regulate drilling anywhere. The president also acknowledged that the Deepwater Horizon fiasco was a direct result of our nation's failure to embrace a long-term clean energy policy, and strongly urged Congress to act now to overhaul our current policy. The best moment of the speech came nearly two-thirds of the way through:
"No matter how much we improve our regulation of the industry, drilling for oil these days entails greater risk. After all, oil is a finite resource. We consume more than 20 percent of the world's oil, but have less than 2 percent of the world's oil reserves. And that's part of the reason oil companies are drilling a mile beneath the surface of the ocean – because we’re running out of places to drill on land and in shallow water."
It appeared for a moment that things were about to take off. And then ... they didn't. Obama emphasized how high the stakes are on our nation's energy policy, but never exactly said what our nation must do to fix it.
"I am happy to look at other ideas and approaches from either party – as long they seriously tackle our addiction to fossil fuels .... the one approach I will not accept is inaction."
Translation: Give me a bill, I'll sign it.
What should be done? Let's start with walking back Obama's previous expansion of offshore drilling operations and redirecting the $39 billion a year in taxpayer subsidies for the oil industry toward investments in clean energy. There are plenty of problems with the cap-and-trade plan approved by the House last year, but there were plenty of good provisions that Obama could have endorsed tonight. It's not like climate change is a new issue for this administration. They've been working on it for more than a year.
The speech was, in short, woefully insufficient as a response to the worst environmental catastrophe in history. But it would be a mistake to view the shortcomings of tonight's BP speech as an isolated failure. Tonight's address, instead, is indicative of a now well-established pattern in the president's governing strategy. Obama does not advocate for reforms, he advocates for consensus, and his rhetorical insistence on fixing a "broken" Washington and entering a new "bipartisan" era has rendered his administration utterly subservient to the very problems he seeks to transcend.Faced with the worst environmental disaster in history, Obama wants change.
