    Chinese scientists are racing to complete plans for a supergiant particle collider that, when built, will dwarf every other accelerator on the planet.

    The underground particle-smashing ring aims to be at least twice the size of the globe's current leading collider - the Large Hadron Collider (CERN) outside Geneva. With a circumference of 80 kilometres, the Chinese accelerator complex would encircle the entire island of Manhattan.

    China hopes that this Circular Electron Positron Collider will shine as a symbol of the country's rise as a global superpower in terms of pure scientific research.

    if the ancients were somehow much smarter than we were and "had it right" this whole time their ideas of the universe would simply be established science by now. instead their ideas have been tested and vetted through the ages and the mythology slowly removed to reveal their inner truths, if any. this mythology may still be fine to use as allegory in a personal practice but if you showed up to a proper lab with it and claimed you have the answer to how the universe is put together you'd be laughed out the door. not because we've "lost the wisdom of the ancients", but because we've fucking moved on already and have no need to dwell on or overly-romanticize the stepping stones we've left behind on our path.

    sure, they were on to something. they were smart humans back then just as we are today, trying to make sense of it all. but today we have a more sophisticated brain and more sophisticated tools and a more sophisticated system of symbology to work with than our ancestors did. and we've had thousands of years to observe, poke and test things since then.

    throughout history we've overestimated and idealized the "wisdom" of our ancestors, simply because they came before us. it's just like QBN saying this place "was better back in the day", even though it wasn't. (in EVERY culture and subculture "the scene just isn't the same as it used to be".) the ancient romans did it, and even the ancient egyptians before them.

    age does NOT equal validity or wisdom.

    if you're going to insist that somehow thousands of years of observing the weather is somehow less valid than "thunder is zeus farting", tell us specifically what our forebears knew better than us instead of vague, ridiculous generalizations like "we were smarter back then" or "our brains were bigger so we had it figured out better then".

    and if you're going to talk about their amazing "consciousness tools", join one of the magickal orders i've mentioned and actually learn something about those tools and what they are ACTUALLY capable of instead of bandying them about like they're the answer to anything besides internal, personal development. they are useless for shit like physics.

    @monospace

    I'd say a film was good evidence, wouldn't you? Your argument as I understand it is circular, ridiculous and relies on belief, here's how it seems to go:

    1. I claim that there is evidence to show that Psi Anomalies exist.
    2. You claim that Psi Anomalies don't exist because there is no evidence.
    3. I show you peer reviewed scientific experiments with imperial results and point you in the direction of first person accounts of people's experiences.
    4. You ignore the evidence, attack the people and claim, without investigation, that Psi Anomalies don't exist because you 'believe' Psi Anomalies can't exist.

    Tell me how that is different to a religious belief.

    "I think he was trying to be fair and open minded rather than pointing at any particular piece of data that convinced him."

    I think you ought to take some time to understand the agenda of the CSI. They are the opposite but equivalent of the 'new agers' you are so dismissive of. Its hypocritical for you to claim one set of opinion can be discounted yet blindly accept the authority of another with nothing more than a personal prejudice fuelling your decision.

    "And yes I get the idea that you shouldn't be too dogmatic but when you have something that throws everything else you know about the world into question there should be some really good evidence backing it up. As the article says, if yogis can really levitate and become invisible, why aren't there hundreds of YouTube videos showing that? For something its backers claim is so obvious, they sure have a hard time demonstrating it"

    A world view that is entirely limited to a materialist or reductionist universe is unlikely to be able to adequately explain phenomena that fall outside of the its materialist paradigm. At the moment, the evidence is largely experiential or statistical. You dismiss first hand experience as bullshit and won't engage with the statistical evidence. Offering the lack of flying Yogis on YouTube as an example of how psi research has failed to provide adequate, easily digestible, proof-for-the-masses is retarded. It's not something I've investigated but there are several thousand Bigfoot, UFOS and ghost videos on YouTube, by your logic that must mean they exist.

    • statistical meta-studies. Why not simply perform a demonstration of psychic ability and broadcast it to the world?ukit2
    • Personally I think the answer is that people like Radin don't want to go that far....they want to thread the needle so that there is just enough "evidence" (through questionable techniques and manipulation of stats) that it keeps their audience happy, but not enough that it can actually be debunked.ukit2

    Firstly, apologies. Care to share what you do believe?

    Secondly, I've said it before but the source of the report is largely irrelevant if the evidence is available for scrutiny. It becomes very clear, very quickly - when analysing the evidence - to establish if the claims are overblown or even false.

    Sagan also said: Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the the presence of great art or music or literature, or of acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr.

    The notion that science and spirituality are mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.

    • I never said they weren't mutually exclusive, nor do I believe they are.OP31

    • themselves are questionable) to concluding that magic is real and the universe is made up of consciousness.ukit2
    • I'm not making that leap. I'm saying that these effects and phenomena exist. And They cannot be explained by the current materialist paradigm. You on the other hand claim they can, well be my guest, the floors yours.Morning_star
    • the current materialist paradigm. You on the other hand claim they can, well be my guest, the floors yours.Morning_star

    In my view, there are two major subspecies of technical "humanity" presently contending for the domination of our world.

    One subspecies and the most influential one in terms of its sheer numbers and geographic extent can simply be called "ordinary humanity". Before 15th century European maritime expansion and commerce they inhabited Atlantic Western Europe, most of Africa, perhaps "Atlantis" in the past, North and South America and across the Pacific to the Far East, Japan and China. There are several geographic varieties of this subspecies differentiated mostly by skin colour and some other physical traits, but this subspecies as a whole exhibits a clear tendency toward polytheism, a tolerance of females in society and in divine affairs and a relatively low level of aggression. All varieties share a reasonable level of intelligence, very definite visual artistic ability, relatively non-protruding noses and only moderate male hairiness. Because of the differences in physical characteristics of this subspecies, it may be possible that it really consists of several subspecies that evolved separately in slightly different ways within their various geographic areas and different environments of origin. Or, it may have originally been just one East African or Southern African subspecies that migrated into various geographic areas and then evolved unique characteristics. This latter is the modern view, but it may not be correct.

    However, the roughly common mentality of this subspecies, much more important than its superficial physical differences, indicates a relatively low degree of sexual dimorphism in its primal anthropological ancestry - except in areas where it has since been greatly affected biologically and culturally by the expansion of the other contending subspecies, as in Eastern, Central and Western Europe after the Jewish Diaspora of AD 70, the Hun invasion AD 451-453 and Khazar migrations from the Russian-Ukrainian steppes into Eastern and Central Europe of circa AD 1000 to 1300.

    This other contending subspecies originated in what I call the "Toxic Lozenge", a narrow elongated area extending from the Rift Valley lakes of Tanzania, Kenya and southern Ethiopia to the northern Caucasus Mountains. This Toxic Lozenge therefore encompasses the geographic epicentres of both Homo habilis and later Neanderthal development. This Toxic Lozenge is also the original homeland of the Hamitic languages and the later seemingly related Semitic ones.

    Note that Ancient Egypt was well to the west of where this Toxic Lozenge crosses the Red Sea between Jiddah and Medina in Arabia - an area now called Hijaz and/or Yemen but known as Saba (biblical "Sheba") in ancient times - the very place where the first evidence of the Hebrew language has been discovered and where Islam was also later conceived (see Queen of Sheba and Biblical Scholarship by Dr. Bernard Leeman much further down on this website).

    Physically, this subspecies is characterized by very great nasal development, extreme hairiness in males, long torsos and short legs, extremely high numerical and spatial intelligence, very little visual artistic ability, a low level of emotional stability, fanatical monotheism, anti-feminism and a predisposition to control, enslave or exterminate "ordinary humanity". There is some fairly recent anthropological evidence (1990-1991, see "Homo Georgicus" on Wikipedia), coming from the Caucasus Republic of Georgia, that this subspecies may derive from Homo habilis, through the Neanderthals and on to modern living representatives.

    However, not all anthropologists agree that Homo habilis should be considered fully "human" as that term is rather loosely defined, but was possibly an aberrant offshoot of either Homo or Australopithecus (see Esau's Empire I on this website).

    That is, people deriving from this Toxic Lozenge in ancient times may not be exactly human and certainly seem to be incompatible with the values and attitudes of "ordinary humanity". However, recent historical migrants into the Toxic Lozenge represent mostly ordinary African humanity.

    Much more important than physical traits, the aggression of this subspecies is responsible for its expansion from its original Toxic Lozenge both east and west to inhabit most of the "Middle East" (especially mountainous regions) and even parts of Europe, western India and northern and eastern Africa, imposing its religious and social values. In short, the people of this Toxic Lozenge have gradually driven a wedge of perhaps "not-quite-human" genes and culture between the ordinary humanity of the West and the ordinary humanity of the Far East. And this wedge has been inexorably expanded by well-known historical events from 5600 BC to the present. Despite the incessant propaganda and disinformation promulgated by this subspecies, adherence to Judaism, Judeo-Christianity and Judeo-Islam are the symptomatic indications of its biological expansion and/or cultural influence.

    This Toxic Lozenge subspecies is the most influential one in terms of its extremely high aggression (see "Hard Times Among the Neanderthals", Natural History, Journal of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, December 1978 by Dr. Erik Trinkaus and Dr. T. Dale Stewart of the Smithsonian Institute).

    Julian's research at Glidden changed direction in 1940 when he began work on synthesizing progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone from the plant sterols stigmasterol and sitosterol, isolated from soybean oil by a foam technique he invented and patented.

    In 1990 he was elected to the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and in 1999 his synthesis of physostigmine was recognized by the American Chemical Society as “one of the top 25 achievements in the history of American chemistry.”

    i forgot this bit

    "When scientists refer to "dark matter" they are talking about the fact that objects in space"

    The 'fact' of it is there is no object. There is no test, measurement or analysis on earth that can detect DM. Using the existing Standard Model DM does not exist. The only thing we can measure is the gravitational effect it has on surround matter. I've explained this before with a link supported by Lawrence Krauss saying exactly the same thing as i'm asserting. 4:41 to 6:18 in the linked video.

    • No they're not. There is no object and that's the problem.Morning_star
