Mind-reading device allows to directly “connect” to the human mind

Neuroscientists invented a method that allows to convert brain waves into words. In fact, our thoughts are located in a region of the brain called superior temporal gyrus, which is a part of the auditory system. It makes it possible for us to elicit sense from the sounds we hear, distinguish words and understand their meaning. This brain region was used by the scientists of the Universi...

Left vs. right hemisphere of the brain: which dominates you?

The human brain is a complex and interconnected system, the largest and the most functionally important part of the central nervous system. Its functions include processing of sensory information coming from the senses, planning, decision making, coordination, motion control, positive and negative emotions, attention and memory. The highest function performed by the brain is thinking. Yo...

British students “travelled” to the Hereafter

Scientists managed to “see” the content of dreams!

For the first time in the history of the study of dreams, Japanese researchers claimed to have managed to predict with some accuracy the topic of dreams that three volunteers saw. The study reveals the involvement of eye sight in dreams and seems to confirm that our nighttime adventures rarely stay in memory when we wake up. The impressive study was led by Yukiyasu Kamitani, neuroscienti...

Neural structure of the brain looks like a chess board

Connections of axons (or nerve fibers) between the sections of the brain look more like a “chess board” than a “ball” or a “plate of spaghetti”, claims a recent study, which did a detailed imaging of the brain wiring. Using the latest techniques of recording the flow of water molecules in the brain, scientists revealed a simple and almost geometric arc...

Positive thinking is scientifically proven to lengthen life

If you declare that you are well, then you have a reasonable chance of being really well for a long, long time. A new study from psychologists at the Universityof Zurich shows that volunteers who reported that they are satisfied with the state of their health, have much lower risk of death than those who reported that their health is not good. Positive thinking heals These results seemed...

Why is telepathy considered to be a pseudoscience?

The results of many scientific experiments on telepathy seem so persuasive that it raises the question why this information is still closed from the general public? Some evidence of this amazing phenomenon has been published yet in 1951 by the psychologist Donald Hebb. In his article he explained why this data, no matter how valid it is, would not be widely distributed: “Why don’t ...

Possible to Read Dreams Using Brain Scans!

Using imaging tools and computer analysis, Japanese scientists could determine the images appearing in the dreams of a group of test subjects with 60% accuracy. So says an article published in the Indian Journal of Science Express. A group of researchers at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology attempted to find a connection between the visual experiences in dreams and data provid...

9 questions science has no answer for

Science is expected to give answers to the important and the unimportant happening around us, and the truth is that most times it does not disappoint us. But there still remain mysteries that even the greatest scientists do not have an explanation for. Here are some of them: 1. What is consciousness? Most of us have a sense of what is consciousness, but scientists have not yet defined it...

That is what aliens look like!

If you believe that aliens are little green men, you should probably forget it, since, according to scientists, these beings (if they exist) would probably look like giant jellyfish with orange underbelly! According to British scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock, it is likely that extraterrestrial life exists and is even stranger than we imagine. She claims that alien beings look like known j...

Does the soul really weigh 21 grams?

Does soul exist? Does it have weight? Does the soul really weigh 21 grams? What happens when a person dies and his soul gets separated from his body? First time the controversial issue was touched in 1907 by American doctor Duncan McDougall from Haverhill, Massachusetts, who made the following “macabre” experiment: he measured the weight of his patients just before they die a...

interstellar travel

Is it possible to get to extrasolar planetary systems faster than the speed of light? Harold White claims that it is. With his team at NASA, he manufactures a superluminal engine for interstellar travel. For example, such a vessel would arrive in just 2 weeks to the system of Alpha Centauri, which is 4 light years from the Sun.

White’s research is an effort to continue and expand the idea of the Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre, which had caused heated debates in the scientific world in 1994. The scientist suggested that the space should “shrink” in front of the spacecraft and expand behind it. The spaceship should behave as if placed inside a “bubble” of the deformed space and (more…)

American Physicists Proved the Existence of Dark Matter Particles

dark matter particlesIn the United States, during the CDMS experiment with underground cryogenic detectors, for the first time scientists managed to obtain direct evidence for the existence of dark matter particles.

According to the American physicists who conducted the experiment, there remains one step before the official confirmation of the discovery of dark matter particles – the so-called “WIMPs”.

Dark matter is an invisible substance, the presence of which can be judged only by its gravitational effects. It does not interact with electromagnetic waves, that is, it does not emit, absorb or reflect any light.

The share of “normal” matter has 4.9% of the mass of the universe, the one of dark matter – 26.8%. Dark matter may consist of (more…)

There Is Not Just One, But Many Universes, States Greek Scientist

multiverseSpecifically, ten in the five hundredth, and in the future it will be possible to create universes in the laboratory. Moreover, we live in ten dimensions without realizing it!

These unbelievable ideas belong to the research team of Dimitris Nanopoulos, professor of physics at the University of Texas and member of the Academy of Athens.

According to the Athens News Agency, Mr. Nanopoulos estimates, based on mathematical equations, that it is possible that there are ten in the five hundredth universes. The theory of supersymmetry and the superstring theory provide that, except of the known four dimensions – three of space (length, width, height) and the time- there are still six or seven, which are “folded” in terribly small space, which means that there are 10 or 11 dimensions in total. “We live in ten dimensions, but do not realize it,” said the scientist.
