Impossible Quasars Shatter Theory – Thunderbolts Project
A team of astronomers using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey observed quasars behaving in manner that completely upends conventional theory. Using images from the Pan-STARRS survey, the scientists identified 1000 objects that appeared to vary in brightness over a period of just 10 years. Among these objects were a total of five galaxies that the team witnessed shape-shifting into quasars in a seemingly impossibly short period of time. The team also recorded a total of a dozen quasars “shutting down” in a period of hundreds of days, rather than the hundreds of thousands of years required by standard theory. Given this situation, Dr. Tom Wilson explores some of the psychological…

Why Free-Market Advocates Are Not Obligated to Defend the Economic Status Quo – G. Stolyarov II
Many on the political left today equate advocacy of free-market capitalism with an “anything goes” support for the economic status quo. Many on the political right give credence to this perception by, indeed, seeking to defend the status quo just because it happens to be so. Yet this is neither an obligatory nor an advisable approach for characterizing a genuinely well-considered free-market outlook. Suppose that you are a free-market advocate and also an engineer, well-versed in the principles and methods for constructing durable, safe structures. You hold that individuals and businesses should have the freedom to be able to build structures which would improve human well-being, in exchange for the…

Refuting Ayn Rand’s “Immortal Robot” Argument – G. Stolyarov II
Here I refute an argument that has been leveled against proponents of indefinite human longevity from a surprising direction – those sympathetic to the Objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand. Some advocates of Ayn Rand’s philosophy believe that indefinite life would turn human beings into “immortal, indestructible robots” that, according to Ayn Rand, would have no genuine values. Both of these claims are false. Indefinite life would not turn humans into indestructible robots, nor would an indestructible robot with human abilities lack values or motivation for doing great things. In Ayn Rand’s own words, “Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.” (John Galt’s speech in For the New Intellectual, p. 135)…

One Step Closer To Fusion Power – MIT News
For the first time, researchers show two types of turbulence within plasma that cause significant heat loss. Solving this problem could take the world a step closer to fusion power which has the promise of limitless and relatively clean energy.

THE AWAKENING – Quantum Mechanics of the Human Brain & Consciousness
Subscribe Us Here: https://goo.gl/hfaFhX Human Brain And Quantum Physics – Become Self Aware Dr. Granville Dharmawardena of the University of Colombo writes that psychologists often speak of the mind and the body as two separate entities for convenience, but most acknowledge that they are intimately entwined. Yet none knows exactly how or how intimately. So the mind body problem keeps stubbornly resisting a definite solution. Philosopher John Searle (Mills Professor of Philosophy, University of California, and Berkley) says that today’s philosophers are reluctant to tackle such big problems as how people have been trying to understand their relationship to the universe. All these refer to the elusive relationship between the body…

Transhumanist Party Of Germany Platform
Originally Published By Fractal Future. The Platform Unconditional Basic Income and Tax System Education Democracy and Society Technology and Progress Health Security Universal Rights Environment and Energy Economy Science [In the German version these categories appear in alphabetical order] We want to lead the dialogue about the current challenges, which are generated by technology. Rationally, transparently, and guided by our basic values. Guided by many modern humanist ideals (such as rational reasoning or comprehensive education), as well as the acceptance and respectful appreciation of all life – be it human or non-human – transhumanism regards scientific, technological, but also social progress, as well as a happy, self-determined, and fulfilled life…

UN needed vs ISIL: UK Transhumanists
Originally Published By Club Of Info. UK Transhumanists commented on possible UK airstrikes against ISIL Takfiri terrorists being extended to the battlespace of Syria. Already, the UK is conducting such strikes in Iraq in collaboration with US allies, with apparently no impact on the course of the conflict. In a press release last week on 25 November, the UK Transhumanist Party explained its position. Attacking Syria without unambiguous approval of the United Nations or a request from the Syrian government still in power in Damascus would be an action without blessing from the party. The party said it would support bombing in Syria only if it meets three important conditions as follow:…
