SHOCK CLAIMS: Nasa scientist ‘killed by aliens’ say sick conspiracy theories
SHOCK CLAIMS: Nasa scientist ‘killed by aliens’ say sick conspiracy theories
A NASA scientist died at the hands of aliens or even the Government, conspiracy theorists have sensationally claimed.
The death of a NASA scientist has sent conspiracy theorists into overdrive
Conspiracy theorists have been widely condemned condemned for dreaming up madcap theories around Tiffany Huan Moisan’s death, including another suggestion she may have died after getting too close to government secrets.
Social media users have condemned the speculation, ordering the bizarre theories to stop as those close to her try to come to terms with their loss.
The NASA climatology scientist, 48, was reported missing on June 4, with her body found the next day behind a branch of budget supermarket Food Lion in Princess Anne, Maryland, US.
Local police have ruled out any foul play, but the cause of death has yet to be released and this has led to wild suspicions over what happened to her.
Conspiracy theory website Clapway.com claims the case is suspicious and NASA scientists have gone missing or died in mysterious circumstances before.
In a report, the website suggested: "Signs of suspicion, however, are rampant. Some claim aliens are to blame, while others think she was getting a bit too close to government secrets."
Ms Moisan worked at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Wattsville, Virginia.
According to an obituary on www.legacy.com, she was Born in Taiwan and adopted by an American couple after her mother died in childbirth.
Her adopted father Rodney "Butch" Ashworth was an officer in the US Navy.
She is survived by her husband, John R Moisan and two daughters adopted from China, Katherine Lin Moisan, 12, and Alyssa An Moisan, 9.
Before that, she worked at the University of California and earned a PhD from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at Texas A&M.
Her research specialities were ecology, physiology, optics, and earth science.
She had been involved in a number of missions on oceanographic cruises in the Atlantic.
The Clapway report added: "Seeing as NASA is a space agency, it’s quite curious why they are spending so much time in the ocean.
"NASA, as you may know, has been heavily involved with global warming observations over the past few years.
"Moisan was deep in research, which makes it even stranger why she was found dead behind some budget grocery store in Maryland.
"Unfortunately for Moisan’s family and UFO researchers everywhere, it’s likely the government will remain silent regarding her death.
"In suspicious cases like this, rarely do we hear more than a police report. That’s not exactly comforting. If Moisan uncovered some information that could be harmful to the government, killing her off would not be a far-fetched idea.
LEGACY.COM
The late scientist pictured in her online obituary.
Although there was no apparent signs of foul play, this incident remains under investigation pending results from the autopsy.
Princess Anne Police Chief Tim Bozman
"It’s been done before, but sadly there’s little evidence. All we are left with are rumours of past NASA scientists disappearing and constant government denial. If it wasn’t the government, could aliens be to blame?"
A number of conspiracy theorists have claimed aliens have secret undersea bases on Earth, and have taken the leap that as Mrs Moison was involved in ocean studies, she may have uncovered this secret and been about to expose it.
The Clapway report added: "Going along with this idea, perhaps this NASA scientist was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Why not just taken her life at sea then?
"It’s quite possible her relationship with aliens was closer than she intended. It would be one thing if Moisan was an individual with a shady past, but she was a respected scientist.
"Respected scientists don’t tend to get involved with crime too often, so bringing aliens into the mix here is not as strange as it sounds.
"Moisan’s death is as weird as they come. Hopefully, her death will not be lost among the mystery like so many others."
Local reports have suggested she may have taken her own life.
Her car was found in the parking area near the chain, and there are also local suggestions she may have had debilitating health problems.
Her body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy.
Results are yet to be released.
Princess Anne Police Chief Tim Bozman said: “Although there was no apparent signs of foul play, this incident remains under investigation pending results from the autopsy.”
Online posters on the website of sbynews.blogspot.co.uk urged for the wild speculation to end.
One posted: "Please be sensitive. This young woman was married, had two children, was an outstanding scientist, and she suffered for more than a decade with a serious and sometimes debilitating chronic illness. This is heartbreaking."
There were no apparent signs of foul play, but the investigation will stay open until autopsy results are in.
Black UFO Near White Pyramid Cloud Over Batavia, Illinois, USA June 5, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Black UFO Near White Pyramid Cloud Over Batavia, Illinois, USA June 5, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: June 5, 2016 Location of sighting: Batavia, Illinois, USA This is a recent video posted to MUFON site this week. A black UFO is seen moving around the rooftops of the area, but there are also some other mysterious things...another small UFO and a white pyramid shaped cloud. Is it a coincidence? Probably not. UFO with actual pilots often need a wingman, much like the US military demands from fighter pilots. Very cool UFO, but is this new drone technology from Bigelow Aerospace? Hmmmm... Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: Unedited Witness Statement: i am sending this directly from my iphone, unedited. we just took this video of a ufo. Me and two of my kids(17,20) were leaving chili's parking lot and i begin to joke with them that it was a perfect evening to see an ufo. I believe in ufo but my kids are totally sceptical about it. We jump in the car and I looked up and saw a light. I continue to joke with them and said, "look there, a ufo....hahahaha".... but at the time it was only that, a joke. We continued to watch it as it rapidly start to approach us. then the light started to dim out and we could see a dark form over it. My son then started to literally freak out. That thing came about 300 meters from us and it was a dark squared with rounded corners thing, cruising the sky, no sound whatsoever!!!!!!! The video doesn't reflect even 10% of the clarity of the sighting. unfortunately phone camaras are horrible, specially at dark. But it was so clear to us. it seemed to be the size of a car just crusing there, with almost the same color of the background. My son is still shacking. He never believed in anything paranormal. I am available to give details if you need. tks.
Since its launch in the 1950s, Area 51 has attracted the great interest of a huge number of people, very keen to find out what lies behind the perimeter of the tightly guarded military airbase.
The top-secret location in Nevada desert has remained off-limits to the public for about sixty years, including a large no-fly zone in airspace nearby.
The lack of basic information has led to weird speculation about its primary purpose. Actually, to most, Area 51 has become a term related to outlandish conspiracy theories about government cover-ups and extraterrestrial life.
Eventually, the wild speculations have diverted public attention away from some of the magnificent developments which have occurred at the base over the many years, things that have remained relatively mysterious among the public.
There is still high confusion among the members of the public concerning the driving forces behind this facility since no photos have been released publicly in the recent years.
Area 51 has been the location of on-going secret programs managed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) since its establishment. Used mainly to test fresh technologies, some of the most high-level air capabilities of military started their working life at the base.
Work at the location continues to be improved today, with the recent satellite images revealing that new structures are being constructed. Nonetheless, their purpose stays unclear.
Therefore, to attempt and assist you separate reality from myth, here are 15 things about Area 51 you probably don’t know.
1. Foreign Aircraft Were Present At The Base
Actual Russian MiG-21
The US used the Area 51 location to test captured technology acquired from aircrafts of enemy nations.
The earliest foreign plane to land was the Russian-built MiG-21 that had been captured by the Israeli forces in 1966 when one of the members of the Iraqi air force defected.
The primary purpose of the investigations was to reveal weaknesses in design and performance so that United States forces could exploit them during the combat. In 1970, further examinations of Area 51 began – this time on secretly developed Soviet radar systems.
Some speculate this method of examination goes on with the intergalactic spacecraft allegedly being kept somewhere inside the compound.
2. The CIA Only Acknowledged Its Existence In 2013
Until 2013, the CIA declined to acknowledge the presence of Area 51 in the official documents since the United States government deemed the work undertaken at the base to be very sensitive.
This secrecy gave rise to the elusive nature of the base and without doubt fed the thousands of myths surrounding it.
At first, all the secrecy was as a result of the Cold War. Washington became super paranoid about its military programs alleging that it might fall into the hands of the Soviet Union. Fair enough, it would have been pretty shitty if that would occur, so paranoia warranted.
The existence of Area 51 was eventually admitted in a secret report which covered the first 2 decades of operations at Area 51. It was released in 2013 as a result of a freedom of information request by a popular professor at the George Washington University.
Obama also made an impromptu comment regarding the Area 51 in 2013, making him the first president to openly acknowledge its existence.
3. First Drone Test Flight
Even though the use of drones by the United States military is currently widespread in conflicts in different countries, their development started some time ago.
Area 51 was the site of the earliest test flight of the unmanned drone in 1964. The aircraft was known as D21 and was designed for use as the surveillance aircraft.
It had taken quite some time before the drone was launched individually. However, by 1966, the D21 model had flown to the heights of 90,000 feet.
But during its 4th test flight, something went wrong when a particular drone was released from its primary carrier plane and both aircrafts were damaged, killing one crew member. The D21 drone continue to conduct 4 spying missions over China, from 1969-1971.
4. United States Army Accused Of Using Lethal Substances At Area 51
Suggestions have emerged that the military misused secrecy surrounding Area 51, and the confidentiality obligations assigned to those who work there to dump huge quantities of poisonous waste at the site.
The workers who became sick, and the widows of those who lost their lives, brought together evidence of huge drums of deadly waste being dumped in the trenches prior to being set alight.
A court case was arranged but could not proceed because of national security considerations. Claims were also made that due to the remoteness of Area 51, it was used to dispose of the waste gathered from some other military locations.
5. Area 51 Was Accidentally Disclosed
Area 51 is the well-known secret military base of operations in the entire world. However, a 1967 government memo is the single reason we know of its presence at all.
Protocol meant each reference to the Area 51 had to be redacted from each document but, enquiringly, in this memo that was sent by CIA Director Richard Helms and concerned the positioning of surveillance aircraft in the Vietnam, one slipped through.
The mistake did not reach the public, but the big question stands: was this leak actually accidental?
6. U2 Spy Plane Involved in First Area 51 Operation
The site started in 1955 as a top test center for the U-2 spy plane an aircraft established after WWII. It was able to conduct surveillance over the Soviet Union, and even practice flights were performed using the runways constructed onsite.
When it kicked off the operations over the Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, a cover story was made to display it as a weather research plane.
7. Photos Were Once Accidentally Taken off the Base
Actual photo taken by skylab astronauts in 1974
During the flight on board Skylab in 1974, a certain group of inexperienced astronauts unintentionally took photographs of the Area 51 site.
The incident prompted a national security debate and the likelihood of formally acknowledging the base was regarded. William Colby, retired director of the CIA, was drawn into a huge controversy within the intelligence service that eventually choose not to release the photograph to the public.
Confidential documents since released, show that Area 51 was the only location in the world which CIA had prohibited from being photographed from the space. This offers an indication of how valued the work done there was seen.
8. Area 51 May Have Tested The Helicopters Used In The Bin Laden Raid
A US Army (USA) UH-60L Black hawk Helicopter flies a low
The conspiracy to kill Osama Bin Laden in 2011 was conducted by a team of Navy Seals that were flown to his Pakistan site by 2 Blackhawk helicopters.
Nonetheless, when one helicopter crashed during the mission, aviation professionals recognized that this was no normal helicopter.
Some speculate it was the Blackhawk model which had undergone considerable modification; others claim it was a totally new and formerly unknown model, perhaps one which was purpose-built for this mission.
It is believed the testing grounds for this modern chopper would’ve been Area 51. The improved Black Hawk was regarded near invisible to the radar. Judging by the success of the mission, the aircraft was clearly much harder to sense than its predecessors.
9. The Recent Project May Be A Next Generation Spy Plane
Rumors are circulating, after the appearance of recent satellite data displaying Area 51 which a significant new project is under way. A huge, hangar-like building is supposedly being developed at the end of one of the runways.
According to the defense journalist Tyler Rogoway, the United States air force has indirectly admitted that the prototype of a long-range and the unmanned surveillance aircraft exists that’s believed to be a possible candidate for testing.
The hangar developed at Area 51 has been equipped with large doors, nearly 170 feet wide, suggesting that they’ve been precisely designed to deal with a massive object like an aircraft.
10. Entertainment Options at Area 51
If you are planning an enjoyable getaway to Area 51, you may need to pack some books since you are going to be bored.
Insiders have shown that, early on, the only entertainment choices at Area 51 were a small bowling alley and a single cement tennis court. There was no radio, and TV signals only made it through the nearby mountains in the evening.
However, the good news is that Area 51 workers ate very well. The mess hall occasionally served oysters and lobsters, and they enjoyed a weekly steak night.
Let’s not forget that people have camped near the area 51 gate.
11. Aliases of Area 51
During its early construction, Area 51 was given codenames Watertown, Groom Lake, the Edgar Allen Poe-inspired Dreamland and lastly, Paradise Ranch. It is unclear if Michael Jackson had a contributed any of these naming choices.
The primary idea behind “Paradise Ranch” was that it would eventually make the mission appear more desirable to the contracted construction workers.
Arguably, there was not necessary since months of back-breaking labor in the remote Arizonian desert certainly sounds like an idea of a great time.
“Paradise Ranch” is also the name of the campy Korean TV drama. Does it tells the story of the construction of Area 51? It certainly seems like it.
12. Most Ridiculous Conspiracy Theory of Area 51
There are no deficiencies of these to select from, but perhaps the most disgraceful appeared in the 2011 book, on the history of the top-secret base by Annie Jacobsen.
According to her, Area 51 was an active center of a United States cover-up which went into motion after the alleged crashing of the UFO at Roswell, in 1947.
Refuting that it was a UFO, she alleges that the craft was the Soviet mission, piloted by genetically engineered kids to make people in the United States believe that it was the alien craft, to spread fear.
In this imaginary tale, Area 51 was used as a storage location for the Soviet ship and the remains of its crew. As if this wasn’t going far enough, she also claimed that the fugitive Nazi scientist had conducted the genetic engineering of these kids, Josef Mengele, who is ill-famed for his experiments on the concentration camp prisoners during the WWII.
13. Alien Reports
In 1952, a spectacular spike in the UFO sightings had the CIA admitting the remote prospect that interplanetary aircraft were used. The government considered the phenomenon seriously and even investigated every sighting.
90 percent of reported sightings were simply debunked –whatnot and weather balloons – but the other 10 percent were categorized as “incredible reports from credible observers.”
More than half of the UFO reports from the late 1950s through to the Swingin’ 60s were accounted for by the manned reconnaissance flights over the US. Nearly all of these came from Area 51.
Despite the reasonable explanations, several still claim that the alien aircraft are being kept at Area 51 and reverse-engineered to build new weapons and aircraft.
A recent poll confirmed that more than 70 percent of Americans believe UFOs are real. A number that believes in unicorns stays unconfirmed.
14. Hoax Moon Landing Twist
It is no secret entire hoards of people believe America did fake the moon landing in order to win the coveted Space Race. Most of them believe the staged event happened at Area 51 that’s ground zero for each wild conspiracy theory.
What you may not realize is the sliver of evidence corroborates this specific conspiracy. A huge variety of space equipment – including life-support systems and land rovers – were discovered at adjoining nuclear testing grounds of Area 51.
It is possible these were mainly used for test purposes by various astronauts, but it is still very suspicious.
15. Crashed A-12 Spy Plane
An air-to-air left front view of a A-12 aircraft.
The A-12 is a super-sonic spy plane which was built and tested behind the black curtain of Area 51.
It was almost undetectable to the radar and could cross-continental the USA in only 70 minutes, capturing footage at a remarkable altitude of 90,000 ft.
Pushing the aviation limits came with some risks, still, and finally led to a terrible crash outside of Area 51 in 1963. When fragments of the crashed A-12 were revealed in Utah, the CIA chose to release and even publish photos of the plane.
Reportedly, pilot Ken Collins had managed to parachute to the ground where he was shocked to be meet 3 civilians in a pickup, who provided him a ride to the wreckage of his plane.
Instead, Collins asked them to take him in an opposite direction by informing them the plane had a nuclear weapon on board. In fact, this was a pre-arranged cover story in order to keep the craft secret and even proves the lengths officials were ready to go to.
Nog zeventien dagen en dan komt ruimtesonde Juno aan bij de planeet Jupiter. De afstand tot de grootste planeet van ons zonnestelsel is nog maar dertien miljoen kilometer.
Het is alweer een tijd geleden dat Jupiter langdurig gezelschap kreeg van een ruimtevaartuig. De laatste ruimtesonde was Galileo, die in 1995 aankwam bij de gasplaneet. De Galileo-missie eindigde in 2003, waarna het toestel zichzelf in de dampkring van Jupiter wierp. Nu – dertien jaar later – kunnen we weer genieten van een continue stroom van mooie beelden van Jupiter.
Juno arriveert op 4 juli bij Jupiter en zal langs de polen om de planeet draaien. “Vorig jaar rond dezelfde tijd kwam New Horizons aan bij Pluto”, mijmert Diane Brown van de Juno-missie. “Juno vliegt rakelings langs de atmosfeer van Jupiter. Nooit eerder kwam een ruimtesonde zo dicht bij de gaslagen van deze planeet.” Op 4 juli is de afstand tussen Juno en Jupiter slechts 4.667 kilometer.
Het doel van de missie Maar wat gaat Juno nu eigenlijk precies doen. Uiteraard staat er een mooi achtergrondartikel over de Juno-missie op Scientias.nl. Maar om het even kort samen te vatten: Juno hoopt erachter te komen wat er onder het dikke wolkendek van Jupiter schuilgaat en hoe de gasreus is ontstaan. Het ruimtevaartuig gaat diep in de atmosfeer van de gasplaneet turen en probeert de temperatuur en samenstelling van die atmosfeer vast te stellen. Ook worden de bewegingen van de wolken in kaart gebracht.
Een artistieke impressie van de Juno-ruimtesonde voor de planeet Jupiter.
Straling Om de geheimen van Jupiter te ontrafelen, moet Juno risico’s nemen en rakelings langs de atmosfeer vliegen. “We zijn niet op zoek naar problemen, maar naar data”, aldus hoofdonderzoeker Scott Bolton. Het is algemeen bekend dat Jupiter een krachtig magnetisch veld heeft. Wanneer een ruimtevaartuig dit magnetische veld betreedt, dan krijgt zo’n sonde te maken met veel straling. “Gedurende de hele missie wordt Juno blootgesteld aan meer dan honderd miljoen keer de straling van een röntgenapparaat van je tandarts”, zegt Rick Nybakken, projectmanager van de Juno-missie. “Maar we zijn er klaar voor. De baan van Juno rond Jupiter is zo ontwikkeld, dat er minimale blootstelling is aan straling van Jupiter. Juno kan lang genoeg overleven om voldoende gegevens te verzamelen.”
Kluis van titanium Juno is een bijzonder ruimtevaartuig. Zo beschikt de ruimtesonde over een titanium kluis. In deze kluis bevinden zich de meest waardevolle onderdelen, die andere wetenschappelijke instrumenten aansturen. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de vluchtcomputer van Juno. De kluis weegt 172 kilo en zorgt ervoor dat de hoeveelheid straling met een factor 800 afneemt. Toch is dat niet genoeg. In de omgeving nabij Jupiter is nu eenmaal teveel straling. Uiteindelijk zal Juno in het harnas sterven, maar hopelijk wel nadat er twintig maanden gegevens zijn verzameld.

ESO Captures First-Ever Clear Image of An Exoplanet Candidate, And It’s 11 Quadrillion km Away
ESO Captures First-Ever Clear Image of An Exoplanet Candidate, And It’s 11 Quadrillion km Away
NASA / JPL
IN BRIEF
For the first time ever, ESO astronomers have been able to capture a clear image of a star system 11 quadrillion kilometers away using the combined forces of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, and the Calar Alto Observatory in Spain.
CVSO 30C STATUS PENDING
For the first time, astronomers were able to capture a clear image of an exoplanet candidate, orbiting a star known as CVSO 30, which lies around 1,200 light-years away. If validated as an exoplanet, CVSO 30c would prove that CVSO 30 has two planets orbiting it.
CVSO 30c. European Southern Observatory
European Southern Observatory (ESO) officials say this could be the first star system discovered to have both a close-in exoplanet and another one that is far-out. “If it is confirmed that CVSO 30c orbits CVSO 30, this would be the first star system to host both a close-in exoplanet detected by the transit method and a far-out exoplanet detected by direct imaging,” ESO officials.
In 2012, astronomers found the first exoplanet, CVSO 3b. They have found that this exoplanet is amazingly close to the star, roughly 1.2 million kilometers in distance — just 11 hours away.
On the other hand, the new exoplanet candidate orbiting it, CVSO 30c, is 98,730,000,000,000 kilometres (61,347,977,809,592 miles) away. This distance is 660 times the Earth’s distance from the sun. Given this fact, it means that one orbital period for this planet would take 27,000 years to complete, making astronomers uncertain whether the star is actually part of the star system. More observations would be necessary to confirm (or disprove) this.
“Astronomers are still exploring how such an exotic system came to form in such a short timeframe, as the star is only 2.5 million years old; it is possible that the two planets interacted at some point in the past, scattering off one another and settling in their current extreme orbits,” ESO officials said.
11,000,000,000,000,000-KILOMETER STALKER RANGE
While CVSO 30c’s status remains undecided, what’s really wonderful about the discovery is how impressive it is that we were able to get a clear image of worlds so far away from us — CVSO 30c is 11 quadrillion kilometers (7 quadrillion miles) away from Earth.
In numerical form, T! That’s 15 zeroes!
ESO researchers worked hard building the appropriately named Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile to make this happen. And that’s not even enough. They needed to combine forces with two other observatories: the Keck Observatory in Hawaii and the Calar Alto Observatory in Spain.
And at an 11,000,000,000,000,000-kilometer stalker range, it was definitely worth it.
NASA’s Juno Spacecraft Will Reach Jupiter on July 4th
NASA’s Juno Spacecraft Will Reach Jupiter on July 4th
This artist's rendering made available by NASA/JPL-Caltech on July 7, 2015 shows the Juno spacecraft above Jupiter. The spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at the planet on July 4, 2016 to begin a nearly year-long study of the gas giant.
NASA's space probe Juno is set to reach Jupiter by July 4, initiating a two year long study on the gas giant that is far more comprehensive than anything before.
JOURNEY TO JUPITER
Fireworks aren’t the only reason to look to the skies this Fourth of July.
As Juno approaches Jupiter’s harsh radiation environment, it will fire its main engine to slow down and then slip into orbit around the planet.
While there, Juno hopes to perform 37 close approaches, trying to learn more about the planet’s origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere.
While this sounds relatively benign, Juno will be facing some of the harshest environs in the Solar System. The combination of the metallic hydrogen along with Jupiter’s fast rotation generates a powerful magnetic field that surrounds the planet with electrons, protons, and ions traveling at nearly the speed of light. This makes for a very harsh radiation environment, deadly for almost any spacecraft.
Because of this, Juno is armored like a knight. Juno’s flight computer and critical electronics are tucked inside a 400-pound titanium vault. It also has special radiation-hardened electrical wiring and shielding.
Juno is running on solar power, with three huge panels designed to face the sun during most of the mission. The wings are 29 feet long and 9 feet wide.
GIANT QUESTIONS
Despite being the biggest kid on the block, we don’t really know that much about Jupiter. Juno hopes help us learn more about Jupiter’s core, answer questions around how much oxygen and water the planet has, and how its magnetic field works. It will also be probing Jupiter’s auroras—the most intense in the solar system.
After Juno completes its mission in 2018, it will plunge into Jupiter and burn up. Scientists planned this finale to eliminate the possibility that it could smack into Europa, one of Jupiter’s watery moons.
Arizona startup Local Motors has just unveiled its electric bus that's 3D printed, and it can talk to its passengers using IBM Watson Internet of Things (IoT) for Automotive.
ALREADY THERE
Self-driving vehicles are the Holy Grail of the transportation technology of the next age. It’s the stuff of science fiction, but it’s coming to life. Big companies like Google, Tesla, General Motors, and even the US Government are accelerating research into the field. But it seems like a small startup beat them to the punch.
The electric vehicle, which can carry up to 12 people, is equipped with IBM Watson Internet of Things (IoT) for Automotive, which is IBM’s car-focused cognitive learning platform.
IBM
The company, unlike others that mix traditional automotive making and self-driving tech, builds the vehicles from the ground up, and produces most components with 3D printers.
The company is able to print a vehicle in about 10 hours and assemble it in another hour. They are also looking at “micro-factories” that could opensource the building of future designs. In fact, the use of 3D printing allows designs based on what individual customers want, and lacks the large infrastructure costs of traditional automakers.
BRAINS OF THE OPERATION
Olli is the first vehicle to utilize the cloud-based cognitive computing capability of IBM Watson IoT to analyze and learn from high volumes of transportation data, which is produced by more than 30 sensors embedded throughout the vehicle.
In fact, IBM Watson will not only allow automated driving, but also interaction with passengers. Passengers will be able to interact conversationally with Olli while traveling from point A to point B, discussing topics about how the vehicle works, where they are going, and why Olli is making specific driving decisions.
“By having authentic conversations with riders about their journey the more they will be connected to technology itself, making them part of the experience rather than an observer. This user experience is the key to making self-driving vehicles a real part of our lives rather than a tech vision of the future”, says Harriet Green, General Manager of IBM Watson Internet of Things in a press release.

What Is Artificial Intelligence?
By Jesse Emspak, Live Science Contributor
Much of the recent progress in AI research has been courtesy of an approach known as deep learning.

When most people think of artificial intelligence (AI) they think of HAL 9000 from "2001: A Space Odyssey," Data from "Star Trek," or more recently, the android Ava from "Ex Machina." But to a computerscientist that isn't what AI necessarily is, and the question "what is AI?" can be a complicated one.
One of the standard textbooks in the field, by University of California computer scientists Stuart Russell and Google's director of research, Peter Norvig, puts artificial intelligence in to four broad categories:
The differences between them can be subtle, notes Ernest Davis, a professor of computer science at New York University. AlphaGo, the computer program that beat a world champion at Go, acts rationally when it plays the game (it plays to win). But it doesn't necessarily think the way a human being does, though it engages in some of the same pattern-recognition tasks. Similarly, a machine that acts like a human doesn't necessarily bear much resemblance to people in the way it processes information.

Even IBM's Watson, which acted somewhat like a human when playing Jeopardy, wasn't using anything like the rational processes humans use.
Tough tasks
Davis says he uses another definition, centered on what one wants a computer to do. "There are a number of cognitive tasks that people do easily — often, indeed, with no conscious thought at all — but that are extremely hard to program oncomputers. Archetypal examples are vision and natural language understanding. Artificial intelligence, as I define it, is the study of getting computers to carry out these tasks," he said.
Computer vision has made a lot of strides in the past decade — cameras can now recognize faces in the frame and tell the user where they are. However, computers are still not that good at actually recognizing faces, and the way they do it is different from the way people do. A Google image search, for instance, just looks for images in which the pattern of pixels matches the reference image. More sophisticated face recognition systems look at the dimensions of the face to match them with images that might not be simple face-on photos. Humans process the information rather differently, and exactly how that process works is still something of an open question for neuroscientists and cognitive scientists.
Other tasks, though, are proving tougher. For example, Davis and NYU psychology professor Gary Marcus wrote in the Communications of the Association for ComputingMachinery of "common sense" tasks that computers find very difficult. A robot serving drinks, for example, can be programmed to recognize a request for one, and even to manipulate a glass and pour one. But if a fly lands in the glass the computer still has a tough time deciding whether to pour the drink in and serve it (or not).
The issue is that much of "common sense" is very hard to model. Computer scientists have taken several approaches to get around that problem. IBM's Watson, for instance, was able to do so well on Jeopardy! because it had a huge database of knowledge to work with and a few rules to string words together to make questions and answers. Watson, though, would have a difficult time with a simple open-ended conversation.
Beyond tasks, though, is the issue of learning. Machines can learn, said Kathleen McKeown, a professor of computer science at Columbia University. "Machine learning is a kind of AI," she said.
Some machine learning works in a way similar to the way people do it, she noted. Google Translate, for example, uses a large corpus of text in a given language to translate to another language, a statistical process that doesn't involve looking for the "meaning" of words. Humans, she said, do something similar, in that we learn languages by seeing lots of examples.
That said, Google Translate doesn't always get it right, precisely because it doesn't seek meaning and can sometimes be fooled by synonyms or differing connotations.
One area that McKeown said is making rapid strides is summarizing texts; systems to do that are sometimes employed by law firms that have to go through a lot of it.
McKeown also thinks personal assistants is an area likely to move forward quickly. "I would look at the movie 'Her,'" she said. In that 2013 movie starring Joaquin Phoenix, a man falls in love with an operating system that has consciousness.
"I initially didn't want to go see it, I said that's totally ridiculous," McKeown said. "But I actually enjoyed it. People are building these conversational assistants, and trying to see how far can we get."
The upshot is AIs that can handle certain tasks well exist, as do AIs that look almost human because they have a large trove of data to work with. Computer scientists have been less successful coming up with an AI that can think the way we expect a human being to, or to act like a human in more than very limited situations.
"I don't think we're in a state that AI is so good that it will do things we hadn't imagined it was going to do," McKeown said.

An epic Mars panorama shows the snaking valley that NASA's long-lived Opportunity rover has been exploring for the last year — and will likely soon leave behind.
The newly released photo — a composite of many images Opportunity captured in April and May — depicts Marathon Valley, a feature that cuts across the western rim of the 14-mile-wide (22 kilometers) Endeavour Crater.
Opportunity arrived in the valley in July 2015 to hunt for clay minerals, signs of which had been spotted from above by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. (Clay minerals form via the interaction of liquid water with rock, which makes them of special interest to the Opportunity team; the rover's mission aims to help tease out the history of liquid water on Mars.) [Latest Mars Rover Photos by Opportunity]
While doing this work in Marathon Valley, the rover encountered some curious red crumbly material. Opportunity's handlers used one of the robot's six wheels to scuff the stuff, exposing some fresh samples for study.
The results were intriguing, mission team members said.
"In the scuff, we found one of the highest sulfur contents that's been seen anywhere on Mars," Opportunity principal investigator Steve Squyres, of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, said in a statement.
"There's strong evidence that, among other things, these altered zones have a lot of magnesium sulfate," Squyres added. "We don't think these altered zones are where the clay is, but magnesium sulfate is something you would expect to find precipitating from water. Fractures running through the bedrock, forming conduits through which water could flow and transport soluble materials, could alter the rock and create the pattern of red zones that we see."

Such analyses may be some of the last work Opportunity does in Marathon Valley; it's about time for the rover to move along, Squyres said.
"We are wrapping up our last few activities in Marathon Valley, and before long we'll drive away, exiting along the southern wall of the valley and heading southeast," he said.
Marathon Valley got its name because Opportunity rolled into the region shortly after its odometer ticked past 26.219 miles (42.195 km) — the length of a marathon race.
As of Tuesday (June 14), the rover had covered a total of 26.59 miles (42.79 km) on the Red Planet, NASA officials said. No other vehicle has ever traveled farther on the surface of a world beyond Earth.
The golf-cart-size Opportunity landed on Mars in January 2004, a few weeks after its twin, Spirit. Both robots were tasked with three-month missions, but they kept exploring long after their warranties expired. Spirit was declared dead in March 2011, and Opportunity is still going strong today.
Centuries-Old Shipwreck Recreated with 3D Printing
Centuries-Old Shipwreck Recreated with 3D Printing

The Drumbeg shipwreck lies almost 40 feet (12 meters) underwater in Eddrachillis Bay, off the northwest coast of Scotland. This 3D-printed model shows the three cannon, two anchors and partial hull that remain at the shipwreck site.

The seabed holds some fascinating historical secrets, but unlike monuments on land, they’re largely hidden from view. Now, archaeologists in the United Kingdom are using 3D printing to bring two historical shipwrecks to life for history enthusiasts and experts alike.
Using data from photogrammetry (measuring the distance between objects from photographs) and sonar imaging, the researchers have produced scale models of a 17th-century shipwreck near Drumbeg, in Scotland, and the remains of the HMHS Anglia, a steamship that was used as a floating hospital during World War I. The steamship was sunk by a mine off the south coast of England.
"It was a proof of concept for us, trying to establish what could be done using sound and light, but there are so many different applications you could use this for," said maritime archaeologist John McCarthy, a project manager at Wessex Archaeology who carried out dives at the Scottish site and was in charge of producing the 3D models. [Photos: Shipwrecks of the Deep Sea]
"People can engage much more easily with a physical object in front of them. You can bring it to schools and conferences, and we are hoping to donate both models to local museums, once we've finished with them," McCarthy told Live Science.
It was not particularly difficult to create 3D-printed representations of the shipwrecks, McCarthy said. The magic, he said, was in creating the virtual models that were fed into the 3D printer.
McCarthy carried out initial experimental surveys of the Drumbeg wreck in 2012 with his colleague Jonathan Benjamin, who is now a lecturer at Flinders University in Australia. McCarthy recently joined him there to begin Ph.D. studies under Benjamin's supervision.
At the Drumbeg wreck site, the pair found three heavily encrusted cannons with evidence of a preserved wooden hull underneath. The ship's identity is still unknown, but one theory holds that it is a Dutch trading vessel called the Crowned Raven, which is known to have been lost in the bay in the late 1600s.
After realizing the techniques they were using could provide enough data for a 3D model, the archaeologists went back to do a more detailed survey in 2014 and used the lessons they had learned from their first attempt.
The archaeologists used a technique called photogrammetry, which involves taking hundreds of overlapping photographs of a site and then feeding them into a computer program that can stitch them together. The application is able to establish the spatial relationships between photos, which allows it to create a so-called 3D point cloud that maps each image in 3D space.
"Once you have a point cloud, you can turn it into a solid surface," McCarthy said. "Then you have a 3D model of the site that's not subjective or an artist's impression, but entirely objective."
The HMHS Anglia was sunk by a mine off the south coast of England. The steamship was used as a floating hospital during World War I.

The benefits of photogrammetry are that it produces very high-resolution images and it can capture the true color of the site, McCarthy said. The method is easily thwarted, however, by excess marine growth or poor visibility, and it is not well-suited to covering large areas.
Sonar, on the other hand, can see through the murk and can cover much larger areas, McCarthy said. For the 329-foot-long (100 meters) HMHS Anglia, another team from Wessex Archaeology used multibeam sonar — which operates in a similar way to a laser scanner — to do a much larger survey of the shipwreck site.
While multibeam sonar can't match the subcentimeter resolution of photogrammetry, using higher-end equipment and doing many passes can boost accuracy, McCarthy said. The Anglia survey was a particularly high-resolution one, he added, which was part of the reason it was selected for the 3D printing project.
McCarthy pointed out that the Wessex Archaeology team is not the first to create 3D-printed models from underwater imaging data. He said that the field has been booming in recent years, with big advances in both sonar and photographic techniques, and even some novel laser-scanning approaches are beginning to come through.
"All maritime archaeologists are engaging heavily with these techniques now," McCarthy said. "Advances in hardware and software in the last five years has allowed us to do very rapid and cheap surveys, and it has added to the tools we use underwater."

UFO Lights Seen Over Rosario River, Argentina On June 12, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Lights Seen Over Rosario River, Argentina On June 12, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: June 12, 2016 19:48 Location of sighting: Rosario River, Argentina News Source:http://inexplicata.blogspot.tw
This is an interesting sighting of some glowing lights over the Rosario river in Argentina last week. It looks like we are seeing a UFO hovering over the water, hence the two long lights. However the top light is actually the UFO, the bottom light may be the reflection or the illumination from the doorway below the surface which the UFO probably came from. Hiding a doorway underwater that takes you to an underground base is a smart move. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: Argentina: Uncanny Light Source Photographed in Argentina The following is a message from Silvia Pérez Simondini, director of Visión OVNI and CEFORA, sent to UFO groups: Dear Friends, I was truly amazed on Sunday night. For 26 years, night after night, I have observed and have come to know each spot on the island from the summit of Cerro de la Matanza. On Sunday, with my friend Checo Jaroslav, we visited the summit once more, and I was astonished to see a vast source of light in the middle of the river. The lights of the city of Rosario could be seen in the distance, which gave me the certainty that these lights we were seeing were much closer to Victoria. I'd like to clarify a few things. The bridges along the Victoria-Rosario route are not lit, much less in this manner. All along the route there is nothing I know that has such illumination. It was interesting to observe it from hilltop, but what happened later was truly fantastic. The upper part of the illumination vanished as if by magic, and since Checo was returning to Buenos Aires along that route, we agreed that he would make sure to see what it was from both sides. The fact is he saw absolutely nothing, or any area illuminated in such a way. We have no idea what it was, only that it was never in the river, and I'm sure that I'll never see it again. These are the photos. The last photo depicts how it was left after the upper section vanished, and what evidently also vanished when Checo departed. [Editor's Note: Cerro de la Matanza - Slaughter Hill - owes its name to a mass killing of natives in 1750 by Francisco Antonio de Vera y Mujica, governor of the city of Santa Fe. The name appears in official documents from 1779.] [Translation (c) 2016 S. Corrales, IHU with thanks to Guillermo Giménez and Silvia Pérez Simondini]
Crop Circle Found On Berlin, Germany Farm, June 12, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Crop Circle Found On Berlin, Germany Farm, June 12, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: June 12, 2016 Location of discovery: Berlin, Germany
This is a fascinating crop formation. It has a flower or question mark appearance to it. It may have hidden symbols to it, but its hard to make out for sure. Today crop formations are both made by hoaxers and by aliens. Ever since the popularity in the 1990s, people noticed that all the attention was cool, and that they too could make such things. But don't be misled...aliens were the ones who started it all, but humans are making a mockery of it by trying to fool their own species. Crop formations have been recorded going way back in history.
Farmers have reported finding strange circles in their fields for centuries. The earliest mention of a crop circle dates back to the 1500s. A 17th century English woodcut shows a devilish creature making a crop circle. People who lived in the area called the creature the "mowing devil."
In an 1880 issue of the journal Nature, amateur scientist John Rand Capron reported on a formation near Guildford, Surrey, in the south of England. He described his finding as "a field of standing wheat considerably knocked about, not as an entirety, but in patches forming, as viewed from a distance, circular spots." He went on to say, "... I could not trace locally any circumstances accounting for the peculiar forms of the patches in the field ... They were suggestive to me of some cyclonic wind action..."
Mentions of crop circles were sporadic until the 20th century, when circles began appearing in the 1960s and '70s in England and the United States. But the phenomenon didn't gain attention until 1980, when a farmer in Wiltshire county, England, discovered three circles, about 60 feet (18 meters) across each, in his oat crops. UFO researchers and media descended on the farm, and the world first began to learn about crop circles.
By the 1990s...crop circles had become something of a tourist attraction. In 1990 alone, more than 500 circles emerged in Europe. Within the next few years, there were thousands. Visitors came from around the world to see them. Some farmers even charged admission to their mysterious attractions. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Baffled astronomers made the announcement that deepened the mystery of the bright spots on the dwarf planet Ceres. They recently claimed that the famous spots blinked at intervals of around nine hours.
With the latest discovery, some UFO hunters suggested that it is a definitive evidence of the theory that bright spots on Ceres are artificial beacons transmitting coded signals. The signals would guide ET spaceships coming in to land at a base on the dwarf planet, the largest body being discovered in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
The unexpected fluctuations in the brightness of the mystery spots were observed in the spectrograph of High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile. The widely known spots, called faculae, can be found in an 80-kilometer crater Occator.
Some UFO enthusiasts speculate that it is a signal. It could be a warning signal, a radar tower, or a greeting signal. It must be there for a purpose, according to UFO researchers. Does humanity need to signal back?
Some members of the UFO community think that alien colonists created the bright spots on the dwarf planet. Others speculate the extraterrestrials are still living on Ceres while some believe aliens may have already abandoned the planet long ago, but the lights are still working.
In December 2015, scientists already suggested that the bright spots could be a form of brine containing magnesium sulfate hexahydrate (MgSO4.6H20). Alien hunters, meanwhile, agree with scientists but insisted that aliens have used these materials to make a beacon.
Scientists have a better explanation for the variations in brightness. They suspect the fluctuations could be due to the activity below the surface that involves churning out plumes of material that reflect light when the planet faces the Sun. The brightness decreases when the plumes evaporate. The process could repeat in the next rotation when the planet faces the Sun again.
However, scientists admit they don’t have enough data and observations to confirm the hypothesis.
If there are aliens on the dwarf planet, what do you think the identity of these aliens? Grey aliens? Tall Whites? Pleiadian Nordic aliens? Reptillians? Anakim? Or Altairians?

A BIZARRE group claims it is creating a race of human-alien hybrids by having sex with extra terrestrials which then take their children into outer space.
The US-based Hybrid Children Community, is trying to recruit more parent breeders, in a bid top “evolve” the human race into a new sub-species which will take over the Earth when the children currently conveniently housed on giant space ships “return to our planet”.Women in the group, who include young glamorous 20-somethings, even claim mating with reptile-like lizards was the best sex they have ever experienced.
These include Bridget Nielsen, 27, from Sedona, Arizona, who is a hybrid mum and medium who charges $65 (£46) for an over the phone session to put parents, who believe they may have conceived hybrid children, in touch with they offspring, according to the community’s website.
Describing sex with a lizard being on a spaceship, she said: “It was great. It was an incredible super primal, super raw, super primal sexual experience.
“There was a really freedom and we were really going for it. It was the best sex I ever had.”
Another young hybrid mum is Aluna Verse, from Los Angeles, California.
Between them Bridget and Aluna claim to have 13 children fathered by aliens.The website, which also charges for other similar sessions and asks for donations, says there are millions of hybrid parents on Earth who have conceived children with aliens either through artificial insemination or full sex, and many remain unaware.The community was founded by Sharon McCormick, aged in her 60s, and former marketing executive Miss Nielsen.
On the website Ms McCormick says: “Since I discovered six and a half years ago that I have many hybrid children, my mission in life has become to help spread the word that they’re real, positive and loving, and to support the parents, siblings and friends of these remarkable kids.
“The concept of hybrid children is so new to so many of us that I believe connecting with each other is of primary importance formoving us all ahead toward the day when we will be vibrationally ready for the children to arrive on Earth.”
Members of the group believe aliens have been harvesting their DNA to create children that combine the best of both human and alien characteristics over a period several years.

Miss Nielson said alien sex was the “best ever” and refuted claims from sceptics of a lack of evidence for the cosmic carnal encounters, saying ETs only take women who, “want to be taken”.She lives with her dad but claims to have four boys and six girls who she has regular contact with.She said: “They are not just taking our children – they are creating a hybrid race to better humanity.”The parents draw their hybrid children who look, as you might expect like a human/reptilian cross breed with big blackeyes.Ms Verse, a computer game designer who claims to have three hybrids, says she was taken on board a spaceship in a “dream state” and she has vivid memories of the sex.She said: “I was in a classroom setting with other humans.
“All of sudden I’m sat next to this green reptilian creature and immediately I’m so sexually turned on looking at this being.
“I was very surprised. We’re making love in this classroom in front of everyone. Everyone turned their attention to us.”It sounds crazy and people have asked if I’m off my meds, but this is really happening.”Philip Mollica, from Clarkston, Michigan, aged in his 50s, claims to have been discovering his hybrid children since 2012.He said: ” I feel a great love for these children, mine and all the others as well. I look forward with great anticipation as this all unfolds.”In an almost cult-like move, the group say they are planning to establish a property where they can live together as a safe place for their children to visit.
Ms Nielson said: “It will be somewhere away from the cities, somewhere where the children can visit, run free and express themselves. People say we are crazy but we are not, this is really happening to us.”

Yes, There Have Been Aliens
Yes, There Have Been Aliens
CreditGérard DuBois
LAST month astronomers from the Kepler spacecraft team announced the discovery of 1,284 new planets, all orbiting stars outside our solar system. The total number of such “exoplanets” confirmed via Kepler and other methods now stands at more than 3,000.
This represents a revolution in planetary knowledge. A decade or so ago the discovery of even a single new exoplanet was big news. Not anymore. Improvements in astronomical observation technology have moved us from retail to wholesale planet discovery. We now know, for example, that every star in the sky likely hosts at least one planet.
But planets are only the beginning of the story. What everyone wants to know is whether any of these worlds has aliens living on it. Does our newfound knowledge of planets bring us any closer to answering that question?
A little bit, actually, yes. In a paper published in the May issue of the journal Astrobiology, the astronomer Woodruff Sullivan and I show that while we do not know if any advanced extraterrestrial civilizations currently exist in our galaxy, we now have enough information to conclude that they almost certainly existed at some point in cosmic history.
Among scientists, the probability of the existence of an alien society with which we might make contact is discussed in terms of something called the Drake equation. In 1961, the National Academy of Sciences asked the astronomer Frank Drake to host a scientific meeting on the possibilities of “interstellar communication.” Since the odds of contact with alien life depended on how many advanced extraterrestrial civilizations existed in the galaxy, Drake identified seven factors on which that number would depend, and incorporated them into an equation.
The first factor was the number of stars born each year. The second was the fraction of stars that had planets. After that came the number of planets per star that traveled in orbits in the right locations for life to form (assuming life requires liquid water). The next factor was the fraction of such planets where life actually got started. Then came factors for the fraction of life-bearing planets on which intelligence and advanced civilizations (meaning radio signal-emitting) evolved. The final factor was the average lifetime of a technological civilization.
Drake’s equation was not like Einstein’s E=mc2. It was not a statement of a universal law. It was a mechanism for fostering organized discussion, a way of understanding what we needed to know to answer the question about alien civilizations. In 1961, only the first factor — the number of stars born each year — was understood. And that level of ignorance remained until very recently.
That’s why discussions of extraterrestrial civilizations, no matter how learned, have historically boiled down to mere expressions of hope or pessimism. What, for example, is the fraction of planets that form life? Optimists might marshal sophisticated molecular biological models to argue for a large fraction. Pessimists then cite their own scientific data to argue for a fraction closer to 0. But with only one example of a life-bearing planet (ours), it’s hard to know who is right.
Or consider the average lifetime of a civilization. Humans have been using radio technology for only about 100 years. How much longer will our civilization last? A thousand more years? A hundred thousand more? Ten million more? If the average lifetime for a civilization is short, the galaxy is likely to be unpopulated most of the time. Once again, however, with only one example to draw from, it’s back to a battle between pessimists and optimists.
But our new planetary knowledge has removed some of the uncertainty from this debate. Three of the seven terms in Drake’s equation are now known. We know the number of stars born each year. We know that the percentage of stars hosting planets is about 100. And we also know that about 20 to 25 percent of those planets are in the right place for life to form. This puts us in a position, for the first time, to say something definitive about extraterrestrial civilizations — if we ask the right question.
In our recent paper, Professor Sullivan and I did this by shifting the focus of Drake’s equation. Instead of asking how many civilizations currently exist, we asked what the probability is that ours is the only technological civilization that has ever appeared. By asking this question, we could bypass the factor about the average lifetime of a civilization. This left us with only three unknown factors, which we combined into one “biotechnical” probability: the likelihood of the creation of life, intelligent life and technological capacity.
You might assume this probability is low, and thus the chances remain small that another technological civilization arose. But what our calculation revealed is that even if this probability is assumed to be extremely low, the odds that we are not the first technological civilization are actually high. Specifically, unless the probability for evolving a civilization on a habitable-zone planet is less than one in 10 billion trillion, then we are not the first.
To give some context for that figure: In previous discussions of the Drake equation, a probability for civilizations to form of one in 10 billion per planet was considered highly pessimistic. According to our finding, even if you grant that level of pessimism, a trillion civilizations still would have appeared over the course of cosmic history.
In other words, given what we now know about the number and orbital positions of the galaxy’s planets, the degree of pessimism required to doubt the existence, at some point in time, of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization borders on the irrational.
In science an important step forward can be finding a question that can be answered with the data at hand. Our paper did just this. As for the big question — whether any other civilizations currently exist — we may have to wait a long while for relevant data. But we should not underestimate how far we have come in a short time.

Scientists discover ‘Unnatural’ mysterious element in formation of solar system
Scientists discover ‘Unnatural’ mysterious element in formation of solar system
Researchers have just confirmed the presence of an ‘unnatural’ mysterious element during the formation of our solar system. It is one of the heaviest known elements and does not occur naturally. Interestingly, on our planet curium can only exist when created in laboratories or as a byproduct of nuclear explosions.
Mysterious ‘unnatural’ element present in the formation of solar system
Curium was named after Marie Curie and Peter Curie whose work lay the foundations of the theory of radioactivity.Researchers identified Curium present in a meteorite nicknamed ‘Curious Marie’ by researchers offers new insight into how stars form. The presence of Curium suggests that nearly all ‘heavy radioactive isotopes’ could have formed at the same time.
The research was published in the Journal Science Advances.
According to scientists from the University of Chicago, a rare element known as ‘curium’ which was found in a meteorite during the formation of our solar system, around 4.6billion years ago. Researchers believe that the element does not occur naturally on earth and it was first produced and identified in 1944 by a group of scientists at Berkley, California.
The lead author of the study, François Tissot said that „Curium is an elusive element“.
“It is one of the heaviest-known elements, yet it does not occur naturally because all of its isotopes are radioactive and decay rapidly on a geological time scale.“
Researchers can use it in order to determine an accurate reading on when our planet was created. According to co-author Nicolas Dauphas: “The possible presence of curium in the early solar system has long been exciting to cosmochemists because they can often use radioactive elements as chronometers to date the relative ages of meteorites and planets.”
Researchers speculate that the enigmatic element could have come into existence as a result of star formations, or massive star explosions that happened before the solar system was born.
Professor Dauphas continued: “This is particularly important because it indicates that as successive generations of stars die and eject the elements they produced into the galaxy, the heaviest elements are produced together while previous work had suggested that this was not the case.”
According to a report from the University of Chicago, „models predict that curium, if present, was in low abundance in the early solar system. Therefore, the excess U-235 produced by the decay of Cm-247 cannot be seen in minerals or inclusions that contain large or even average amounts of natural uranium. One of the challenges was thus to find a mineral or inclusion likely to have incorporated a lot of curium but containing little uranium.“

Nikola Tesla reports in 1895 incredible experience, ” I could see the past, present and future all at the same time
In 1895, while conducting research with its transformer, Nikola Tesla had his first indications that time and space could be influenced by the use of a highly magnetic field.
Part of this revelation came from Tesla’s experimentation with radio frequencies and power transmission through the atmosphere. Simple Tesla discovery would, years later, lead to the infamous Philadelphia Experiment and time travel projects. But even before these ultra-secret military programs were to arise, Tesla made some fascinating discoveries about the nature of time and the real possibilities of time travel.
With these experiments in high-voltage electricity and magnetic fields, Tesla discovered that time and space could be violated or deformed, creating a “door” that could lead to other times. But with this monumental discovery, Tesla also discovered, through personal experience, the real dangers inherent with time travel.
The first Tesla experience with time travel was in March 1895. A reporter for the New York Herald wrote on March 13, he came across the inventor in a small café, looking shaken after being hit by 3.5 million volts, “I think you will not find me a pleasant companion tonight,” said Tesla, “the fact is that I almost died today. A spark jumped three feet in the air and took me here on the right shoulder. If my assistant had not turned off the power instantly, it could have been the end of me. “
Tesla, in contact with the resonance of electromagnetic charge, found himself out of his reference space / time window. He reported that he could see the past, present and future all at the same time. But he was paralyzed within the electromagnetic field, unable to help himself. His assistant, turning the power off, saved Tesla before any permanent damage was done. The repetition of the same incident would occur years later during the Philadelphia Experiment. Unfortunately, the sailors involved were left outside your window space reference / time long with disastrous results.
