A CURE FOR CANCER? ISRAELI SCIENTISTS SAY THEY THINK THEY FOUND ONE
“We believe we will offer in a year's time a complete cure for cancer."
- Pretty heavy metal comments in the articles comments section. Hope they succeed with the drugs. Still a few years away, they are currently only working on mice.BH26
- patent:
https://patents.goog…sted - amazing, imagine if it works. wow.fadein11
- MuTaTo!
https://i.ytimg.com/…Nairn - "The company is now writing patents on specific peptides, which will be a large bank of targeting toxin peptides wholly owned and hard to break, said Aridor."Nairn
- ikr? mutato?Gnash
- hmm, i wonder how the BDS wing-nuts will handle this one.Gnash
- hopefully this is it, so many miracle cures have come before this..._niko
- usually, the vapour-cures are "5-10 years away." saying "in a year's time" is a big departure from the norm.Gnash
- I want to believe, but almost every week there's a story like this. The media is terrible at covering science related stuff.yuekit
- I'd want to hear a scientist in the field explain if what they are describing sounds feasible.yuekit
- ^ yup. and it's always a little suspicious when a trading name (AEBi) is included in a non-business mag.Gnash
- re-reading it, it sounds like an investor pitch.Gnash
- https://nypost.com/2…prophetone
- The cancer industry will block this. Too much money to make with cancer.Bennn
- yep.. this is why you'll hear so many of them shitting on it. Imagine if cure is out. No more profits on cancer patients. This is promising because they createBoz
- individual treatments based on your genetics and blood cells. So they target your body specifically. Hopefully this is it as as I have lost my mom to it.Boz
- Some people are easily manipulated. I believe it when I see it!utopian
- There were many promising solutions but they shut them down in clinical trials. Hopefully new law Trump pushed for being able to try experimental treatmentsBoz
- Will allow people with terminal cancer to have hope and try to use it.Boz
- Trump's "new proposed laws" has little to do with cancer research and or clinical trials. Pharmaceutical companies are only concerned with "blockbuster drugs".utopian
- All about the Money!robthelad
- And there's too many humanz on Earth, a cure to this will mean more humanz.Bennn
- nice, we can keep polluting ourselves nowmekk
- ^ ha, I was thinking about starting up smoking againGnash
- I would love to believe they are finally coming up with something. But I also believe they do have a cure for cancer, and I think they've had it for a while.Maaku
- Hopefully it's a cure and not a treatment to lessen the symptoms, like most medicine.Maaku

Official results show that Exlterra’s revolutionary technology can neutralize radioactivity from Chernobyl:
- Exlterra announced today that radioactive pollution in the soil and air decreased by an average of 37% and 46% respectively one year after the installation of the NSPS (Nucleus Separation Passive System) technology.
- A total remediation of the area is thus seriously conceivable within four years thanks to this revolutionary technology, which is sustainable, without moving earth and without any chemicals.
-This success opens up promising prospects, particularly for the treatment of radioactive waste, in the context of the current energy debate.
- We could witness the decontamination of Chernobyl in our life times. Maybe in the next 4 years!
They are trying to work on the Fukushima plant also.uan - Interesting!Nairn
- Very interesting. 'Underground Technology' is quite vague though. How the fuck does it work?Ianbolton
- promising.utopian
- they install plastic rods in a grid and it works by itself. they showed the rods at a press conference:
https://i.imgur.com/…uan - the 'technology' is the form of the 3D printed plastic rods and the distances at which the grid is placed.uan
- they didn't disclose the science on how it works, because it's their asset and they want to make money of it.uan
- CEO said it would cost around 100Mio to decontaminate Chernobyl.
https://www.youtube.…uan - Clearly not a Russian companyi_was
- They do elsewhere - they emit positrons that speed up the decay of radioisotopes.Nairn
- Actually, sorry, I read that elesewhere: https://www.dbusines…Nairn
- CEO said the science behind it would be worth a nobel price for Andrew Niemczyk, the CTO of the company, because it was very 'deep' science.uan
- He's clearly on the spectrum. 'Interesting' 'interview' with him down the page here.. https://detroitbookf…Nairn
- here is how it works:
https://pressclub.ch…sted - My Gosh. That sounds like so much bullshit. I mean, who am I and wtf do I know? but.. that really does stink of pseudo science. I hope it actually works! :)Nairn
- Same here Nairn. It sounds too good to be true...and on the other side of the spectrum I really hope someone throws those 100Mio at them and let them try.uan
- If true, New of the century... Hope it's true!OBBTKN
- "...details how Niemczyk used 100 percent of his brain’s capacity to develop technologies that safely clean radiation-scarred sites like Chernobyl"... red flag!Centigrade
- Why doesn't he give it 110%?palimpsest
- the next theranos in the pipleline,, and bitcoiners build a city in salvador on a vulcano... the bravado of pseudo..neverscared
- exactly palimp ... make that shit 110% anti - radioactive...neverscared

‘Mind blowing’ ancient settlements uncovered in the Amazon
The urban centres are the first to be discovered in the region, challenging archaeological dogma.
- Indiana Jones 5?drgs
- That would be a good teaserChimp
- Who's the guy Rogan chats shit with about this? I find it all fascinatingIanbolton

- does it have a bitcoin logo in the centre like that golden hodl city in el salvador?neverscared
- not an unknown civilization, they just weren't correct about how they lived thereGnash

- It says the settlements were spread out over a large area...also we are probably only seeing part of what once existed even with the LIDAR tech.yuekit
- https://www.nature.c…yuekit
- Ya, and? still not an unknown civilizationGnash
- They knew people were living in the region but it was assumed they were nomadic hunters living in the jungle, not building primitive towns and canals.yuekit
- as i said.. "not an unknown civilization, they just weren't correct about how they lived there"Gnash
- primitive towns and canals... in the 1400's, is interesting, perhaps. Mind-blowing, hardlyGnash
- If you are an archeologist studying this part of the world I'm sure it's "mind-blowing" or at least a significant discovery...yuekit
- An archeologist probably isn't going to conclude "well this sucks compared to medieval Britain doesn't it...lame, time to go home"yuekit

pretend that dot above is the current size of the universe. How far it has expanded from the big bang until now, 13.82 billion years later. Your screen represents the void that it is expanding into.
Actually the space in the room that you are in, or the space of the entire planet or the space of the universe itself compared to that dot above represents the infinite space that our universe can expand into.
Now what's to say that there isn't another dot 1km away, or 100 km away or a million km away. What's to say that there isn't billions of these dots stretching endlessly into the infinite void.
I've woken up in a cold sweat the past couple of days struggling with the concept of the nothingness before the big bang(s).
How did energy, gravity and everything else arise from nothingness. If there is time after the big bang, was there time before? how much?
- btw, here is the universe for scale
http://scaleofuniver…_niko - smoke a weed for a month straight, isolate yourself in a room, and ponder these thoughts...will lead to an existential crisishotroddy
- lol fuck that, I'm having an existential crisis with just a beer and some coffee I'd hate to see what weed would do to me lol_niko
- go find some lectures on the subject ... online or if you're lucky you can find a live talk at a university or museum seriesmonospaced
- Seriously awe inspiring stuff that makes you see how insignificant we all are in the big scheme of things. Quite humbling, mysterious and perfect in its nature.monospaced

- time, space, and matter are inextricably linked. matter compressed to a singularity just means time and space exist in a different form.Gnash
- Thoughts like these are why I had to stop taking acid way back. Getting lost in infinity isn't anywhere near as cool as it sounds. It's a sickeningly big place.detritus
- ... much more fascinating and meaningful than religionmonospaced
- There's not much human-tangible meaning in infinity ... unless you're Numbers Guy and don't understand how much noise there is before value.detritus
- true, there is no tangible benefit to being able to comprehend the universe we live in, but that comprehension is more valuable (to me) than mere superstitionmonospaced
- All religion is superstition? Even the better parts of Jesus' teachings? Buddha's?detritus
- There's a lot more to religion than sky daddy bullshit, irrespective of whether we agnostics agree that bundling morals within is a good idea or not.detritus
- I didn't say that.monospaced
- In my opinion, the better part of Jesus', or Buddha's teachings, have nothing to do with superstition at all. They aren't even really religious. My opinion.monospaced
- In my opinion, the idea that morals are unique to religion is pure nonsense.monospaced
- I just find the actual universe, the one we learn more about all the time, including infinity, to be amazing and humbling, in an almost spiritual way.monospaced
- You implied as much, and I didn't say that.
I sense that you're going to get all reactionary at anything I respond with here, so I'm bowing out.detritus - https://youtu.be/rlm…mtch
- Certainly not reactionary, man. I even clarified that it was my opinion about superstition. I shared a thought, you started the arguing. Chillax please.monospaced

- I feel like the universe is amazing, and then he started getting on my case about my views on religion as if I attacked. I don't deserve this kind of response.monospaced

NO REAL NAMES!detritus - "We are all utterly insignificant in this vast universe, BUT DON'T USE MY REAL NAME"nb

Etching a Simple Pattern on Solar Panels Boosts Light Absorption by 125%, Study Shows
- neat.utopian
- Good news, solar and other renewable sources surpassed old energy sources recently in value.grafician
- Also ppl looking into the viability of underwater currents power plants. Way more powerful and efficient than wind farms and such.grafician
- Honest question: aside from storage, a problem with solar is keeping them clean, so how do you deal with the grime in the new grooves?garbage
- I'm sure there's a protective cover, but eventually that's just gonna seal in the flavor?garbage
- Cool, I want my chickens, my stove and my solar paneli_was
- Re grime in grooves, perhaps the etching pattern still works if it’s facing down (away from the elements)Gnash
- I see a business opportunity here as a pattern maker lolgrafician
- if it turns out that the swastika is the most efficient pattern, do you still use it?Gnash
- @gnash There is a big overlap between climate change deniers and neo-nazis. Might be a good way to trick them into saving the planet.garbage
- lolmonospaced
- The 'etching' is less than micrometre thick - you don't need to worry about grot accumulation here. Even at 0.25mm you'd not much need to.Nairn
- eh, Gnash - when it tiles it's a Sayagata, not a mere symbol of Aryan domination-fantasy. It's an interesting form. Hugely inefficent when it comes to cutting.Nairn

- lol christians against science using computers and technology. it's of the devil!futurefood
- What is the exact point to argue with them any longer. For last 1000 years they have decided to throw logic and reasoning out the window.futurefood
- Longer than that really...now, after you present evidence to contradict what they believe, suddenly they will understand?
Please, let them eat dirt.futurefood - Best we can do is think of ways to take their money with little crosses and chocolate bibles.futurefood
- Make the institutions pay taxes, and hold them accountable for all crimes.monospaced

- Religion = Idiotic Moronsutopian
- The proper response to anybody that thinks this? https://www.youtube.…garbage
- The loud-mouthed ignorance of the uneducated should not be our burden. I don't care if you need faith to get you through the day..garbage
- ..but don't be dumb. We have tools that date back 40,000 BCE, and fossils exponentially older than that.garbage
- When I was a teen, an adult once tried to argue that the universe looks old because god “antiqued” it to look as old as it is. He was convinced of this.futurefood
- This is the level of stupidity that we are still dealing with. How are we of the same species as a lot of these wackos?futurefood
- not any mind there to change...neverscared
- Oh my.. that's a special type of stupid. Are you absolutely sure he wasn't fucking with you?garbage
- Good grief. It's one big QBN circle jerk here. Look at you all in your echo chamber of condescension. Predictable and boring. Not one of you commented on the ..Morning_star
- ...on Nathans logically inept response.Morning_star
- @garbage He wasn’t kidding at all. Even after I laughed at the ridiculous idea that an all powerful god needed to fake the scenery....futurefood
- They simply make up whatever nonsense to fit what makes sense to them. Foolish way of thinking.futurefood
- @Morning_star Not sure if you are being flippant here. Nathan provided a great example (one of thousands) of a natural process....futurefood
- That disproves the young earth theoryfuturefood
- Another example I like to use is Entropy, or the second law of thermodynamics to disprove that a god existsfuturefood
- The natural process from order to disorder and the direction of time.
Since this process seems to be outside of a god’s ability to control...futurefood - It should beg the question why would a god start a process like this to begin with? What purpose would it serve him as a creator who needs to be worshipped?futurefood
- Simple, because there was no god there to do it.futurefood
- Nathan’s example also refers to entropyfuturefood
- Thanks for the reply Futurefood. You’ll get no disagreement from me that there are thousands of examples that prove young earthers...Morning_star
- ..are foolish to expect anything productive when challenging science. However, Nathan’s example doesn’t provide a reason for them to change their mind...Morning_star
- Whilst his example would be appropriate if he claimed that the universe is 4000 years old. However the Lead he talks about could have come to earth via a...Morning_star
- ..collision with a lead rich asteroid. A better example would be the seasonal ice layers iwhich you can physically measure that go back 800,000 years.Morning_star
- The lead in the asteroid is also old AF though. Also, asteroids.monospaced
- Whatever mono. The point is that the question referenced EARTH and the answer didn’t. Be accurate or be wrong.Morning_star
- Well, when asteroids become meteors, as in they hit earth, they are relevant. Off the top of my head, the Barringer Crater in Arizona is about 50,000 years oldgarbage
- The Yarrabubba impact site in Australia is estimated to be at least two million years old, and that's a conservative estimate.garbage
- I'm still confused as to why anybody is defending YEC. It's not elitist to call a moron a moron. It's called having a brain.garbage
- Not defending YEC, criticising Nathans answer because it doesn’t make sense. And, pointing out the smug backslapping the QBN ‘enlightened’ seem to enjoy.Morning_star
- Being right and saying so isn't "smug backslapping". It's being educated. I also have no idea who Nathan is.garbage
- But point in the right direction. We pat bottoms here - we're no slackjawed slapbacks.garbage
- Nathan is the chap who replied to the original ‘change my mind’ question.Morning_star
- I think the earth is only two days older than the universe and two days younger than the bible. Take that satanists!_niko
- I'm not sure someone from "Christians Against Science" was ever really open to having their mind changed.MrT
- If you fancy the experiencing the knots these YEC types tie themselves up in have a look at this...Ken Ham & Bill Nye touring the Ark Encounter...Morning_star
- https://www.youtube.…Morning_star
- Religion is not logical. Don't try to disprove religion with logic. It's not possible.jagara
- Oh, that's some negative points for Nye at even entertaining a conversation with someone so irrevocably stupid as Ken Ham.garbage
- To describe Ken Ham as stupid is stupid. He may be delusional, he may be so devoted to his beliefs that nothing can persuade him otherwise. It’s faith...Morning_star
- ..So it’s not be consistent with your world view. Why do you care? And, to arrogantly criticise Nye as though you are the only arbiter of truth is just as...Morning_star
- ...closed minded as Ham.Morning_star
- I think you're mistaking me for some Nye fanboy. Ham believes the earth is 6000 years old. Ham can't grasp the most basic tenets of evolution.garbage
- Ham is an overconfident moron whose bread and butter is children, young and old. You can't possibly posit him as an intellectual.garbage

For the first time ever, US scientists at the National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California successfully produced a nuclear fusion reaction resulting in a net energy gain, a source familiar with the project confirmed to CNN.The result of the experiment is a massive step in a decadeslong quest to unleash an infinite source of clean energy that could help end dependence on fossil fuels. Researchers have for decades attempted to recreate nuclear fusion – replicating the fusion that powers the sun.
The US Department of Energy is expected to officially announce the breakthrough Tuesday.

How the Universe Got Its Bounce Back
Cosmologists have shown that it’s theoretically possible for a contracting universe to bounce and expand. The new work resuscitates an old idea that directly challenges the Big Bang theory of cosmic origins.

Cancer ‘vaccine’ eliminates tumors in mice - 90 of 90 mice cured of cancers with lymphoma, similar results observed in colon, breast, and melanoma cancers.
https://med.stanford.edu/news/al…
TL;DR
Two immune stimulating agents injected into the tumors of mice eliminated all traces of cancer as well as distant, untreated metastases. 87 of 90 mice were cured of the cancer.
Although the cancer returned in three mice, they again regressed after a second treatment.
The researchers saw similar results in mice bearing breast, colon, and melanoma tumors. Treating the first tumor that arose often prevented the occurrence of future tumors.
One agent is already approved for human use and the other has been tested in other unrelated clinical trials. A clinical trial was launched in January to test the effect of the treatment in patients with lymphoma.

"Ambitious designs for underwater 'space station' and habitat unveiled"
"Sixty feet beneath the surface of the Caribbean Sea, aquanaut Fabien Cousteau and industrial designer Yves Béhar are envisioning the world's largest underwater research station and habitat.
The pair have unveiled Fabien Cousteau's Proteus, a 4,000-square-foot modular lab that will sit under the water off the coast of Curaçao, providing a home to scientists and researchers from across the world studying the ocean -- from the effects of climate change and new marine life to medicinal breakthroughs."
