STRANGE UFO-LIKE CLOUDS MAKE A RETURN TO WYOMING

Anyone living in Wyoming will have had their fill of the dark winter skies that cover the region when a weather front moves through. However, now spring is here, and summer is following, the cloud formation types over Wyoming are changing, and some of them are unique to the region. REGIONAL CLOUDS MAY BE BEHIND UFO SIGHTINGS IN WYOMING ...

It is possible that some regional clouds to Wyoming may explain some of the UFO sightings in the region. Recently a photograph was posted that seemed to show a strange disc shaped object moving over the sky in Wyoming, and it looked as though it had a tail, which gave it the look of a comet. The National UFO Reporting Center State Report Index in Wyoming has stated that people had been reporting weather anomalies as being UFOs. Weather chasers with the name of Base Hunters managed to capture a video of a huge hanging ominous dark cloud, and this video immediately caused a stir in Wyoming and online as a thunderstorm developed into a supercell close to Carleton in Wyoming. Supercells are huge thunderstorms, and they are typically seen across great planes. The very brave will want to stand there and check it out, while the not so brave, or wise ones, will get out of the region as fast as possible. For storm chasers, the supercells are known to be the Holy Grail, as the supercell is the most violent of all storms often throwing down hail of the size of a baseball, extremely strong winds and often tornadoes.

WHEN CLOUDS AREN’T CLOUDS, THEY ARE VIRGA Some of what seem to be clouds are not clouds at all. Virga is a weather event that occurs when smaller clouds release rain before it has been built up into a thunderstorm. Virga is seen when there are long wisps of mist that is bending, coming out of the bottom of the cloud and heading to the ground, but it doesn’t make it. It is often seen in deserts when the temperatures are high, and the humidity is low, causing rain to evaporate just after it is released from the clouds. It is also seen at high altitudes, and the name comes from Latin and means branch or twig. 

ELON MUSK ANNOUNCES 'NEURAL LACE' - A TECHNOLOGY TO MERGE HUMAN BRAIN WITH AI

The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, is known for his highly innovative projects and his futuristic style of thinking. Over the years, he has dazzled the scientific and technological community with his far-sighted new solutions to modern life, but it has recently been rumored that Musk is about to embark on his boldest move yet. Insiders are suggested that Musk is setting a new company that will develop the technology to allow human brains to link directly to physical, electronic devices. elon_musk_announces_neural_lace__a_technology_to_merge_human_brain_with_ai

The company is called Neuralink and is currently primarily involved with developing a ‘neural lace’ technology which will allow human beings to directly communicate with selected devices purely by the power of thought. This will allow them to upload or download their thoughts in real time and access information contained on devices without having to access a physical interface. Speaking at Vox’s Media Coda Conference Musk said that this kind of technology would allow human beings to achieve a form of ‘symbiosis’ with machines and would inevitably lead to a higher level of cognitive function/elon_musk_announces_neural_lace__a_technology_to_merge_human_brain_with_ai

NEURAL LACE PREVENT PEOPLE FROM BECOMING "HOUSE CATS" TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Musk said that this technology could also address fears expressed by many prominent scientists, including the renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking that artificial technology could render human beings totally irrelevant in the long term. He said that the neural lace could prevent human beings from being sidelined by powerful artificial technology by ensuring that they were a vital part of the AI process. "I don't love the idea of being a house cat, but what's the solution?” he asked the attendees of the Vox Conference, “I think one of the solutions that seem maybe the best is to add an AI layer…A third, digital layer that could work well and symbiotically." A neural lace which functions in the way described by Musk is obviously a long way away from being developed. It is thought that the first neural lace implants will be simpler and used for the treatment of neurological disorders such as epilepsy and perhaps even clinical depression. ....

TOP ASTRONOMER CLAIMS "ALIENS ARE MACHINES WHO HAVE OVERTHROWN ORIGINAL CREATORS"!

top astronomer claims aliens are machines who have overthrown original....

Aliens are often characterized as humanoid looking being such as the Greys, White Talls, etc. But if we do have an alien visitation here on Earth, it won't be necessary of organic nature. Top astronomer claims that extraterrestrial entities might be more machine like as a sign that they might have overthrown their original masters in their homeworld. According to Lord Martin Rees, as humanity is stepping into a future belonging to machines and cybernetic implants, the same could have happened to older and more advanced civilizations. Stephen Hawking has warned humanity of the dangers of extraterrestrial contact as well as the creation of Artificial Inteligence. These two things can mean the extinction of mankind. Perhaps someday machines will run our world and then attempt to travel into the far reaches of space in a quest for ultimate domination, as a superior new universal species above all that is organic

WINNER OF A GLOBAL COMPETITION: MEET DXTER, THE REAL-LIFE STAR TREK TRICORDERScience

WINNER OF A GLOBAL COMPETITION: MEET DXTER, THE REAL-LIFE STAR TREK TRICORDERScience

 fiction has given inventors a lot of inspiration, for instance, who wouldn’t like to have the sonic screwdriver of Dr. Who or the Tricorder from Star Trek? Well, while there hasn’t been any news on the sonic screwdriver, there is news about the all-purpose medical device known as the Tricorder.

The medical world would be changed forever with the Tricorder as it would be able to diagnose a patient instantly. The X-Price Foundation wanted the Tricorder so badly that they started a worldwide competition to find out if anyone out there could invent one. DXTER IS THE REAL-LIFE TRICORDER One team has come out victorious; a family team with the name of Final Frontier Medical Devices from Pennsylvania in the USA. The non-profit foundation managed to get hold of the $2.5 million prize fund, while the Dynamical Biomarkers Group from Taiwan came in second place and took home $1million.

The whole objective of the Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE competition was to come up with a handheld device that was non-invasive and which was lightweight, which was able to identify 13 different health conditions, 12 of which were diseases and the absence of disease, within 90 minutes to 24 hours and without additional help from any medical professionals. Vital health metrics that were required to be constantly monitored included heartbeat and respiratory functions. It was said that the winning device from the team was, in fact, more advanced that the fictional version from Star Trek. The competition started in 2012 and out of the 312 teams that started out, it was cut down to just ten teams. The two finalists had been revealed in December last year, and six were honored at the Los Angeles prizegiving ceremony. Dr. Basil Harris, an emergency physician, and brother George Harris, a network engineer headed the winning team. They designed DxtER, a device that had artificial intelligence, which they funded along with two other members of the family. They decided that one device wasn’t sufficient to be able to diagnose, accurately and quickly, various conditions in the patient and found they needed to link the device to a wealth of medical data. winner of a global competition meet dxter the reallife star trek tricorder

NASA just discovered the first food source for potential aliens

NASA just discovered the first food source for potential aliens

Searching for aliens is a tricky business. Most likely, the first alien life we discover will be hidden beneath miles of ocean on a distant world like Jupiter's moon Europa or Saturn's moon Enceladus.

That's why the best way to search for alien life today is to find pieces of the puzzle that make up the larger picture. In recent years, NASA has done just that with its Cassini spacecraft.

Cassini first discovered evidence of a vast ocean on Enceladus by spotting plumes of water vapor jutting out of Enceladus' surface. Now, the Cassini team has announced that this distant ocean contains hydrogen.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, so it might not come as a surprise it exists in the oceans of Enceladus. However, this hydrogen could serve a very important purpose: food for alien microbes.

That's exactly what some of the hydrogen here on Earth does — it feeds microbes that live on the seafloor in extreme environments where sunlight can't reach. So, the discovery of hydrogen on another water world is extremely exciting.

NASA ANNOUNCES MAJOR PRESS CONFERENCE ABOUT ITS SEARCH FOR LIFE BEYOND EARTH

EUROPA OCEAN WORLD  
Space enthusiasts from all over the world have been left giddy with excitement after NASA has issued another cryptic message announcing a press conference this Thursday that will reveal new discoveries about ‘water worlds’ within this solar system.

While the press release didn’t give much away about the content of the planned press conference, it did make reference to ‘future ocean world exploration’ which is said to include NASA’s upcoming Europa Clipper mission which will launch in the 2020s and will focus on ‘the broader search for life beyond Earth.’ The discoveries that will inform this press release are believed to come from data derived from the Hubble Space Telescope and the extraordinarily successful Cassini mission which has been examining Saturn and its numerous satellites for the past thirteen years. The wording of the press release suggests that NASA will not announce that they have actually discovered life beyond this planet as of yet. However, the specific and direct reference to Jupiter’s Europa moon seems to indicate that the space agency believes that it is very likely that the icy moon is hosting extra-terrestrial life.

Europa is one of Jupiter’s sixty-seven moons.and has long been believed to be one of the best candidates in this solar system capable of supporting extra-terrestrial life. Europa is a relatively small moon, a little smaller than Earth’s moon, with a thick layer of ice covering the surface and a huge liquid ocean. It is estimated that Europa’s ocean is almost ten times deeper than the oceans on planet Earth and that the reasonably small moon might hold as much as two to three more times the volume of liquid water than this planet. The presence of water is deemed to be one of the most important elements when it comes to establishing the existence of life. The new information about Europa will certainly enthrall space enthusiasts, especially if it involves moving closer to establishing the existence of life outside of planet Earth. The announcement will be made to the public at 2pm ET (6pm UTC) Thursday 13 April 2017, and you can watch the whole thing live below. nasa announces press conference about search for life beyond earth.....

An edible water bottle that could save the planet. Meet OOHO!

 Ooho is a container made of an edible algae membrane.

Created by London-based industrial design students Rodrigo García González, Pierre Paslier, and Guillaume Couche, the Ooho is a blob-like water container made out of an edible algae membrane.

The design is inspired by how liquid drops form and how egg yolks work. The container is created using a culinary technique called “spherification” and the water is held inside by a double gelatinous membrane. The gel around the water is created from brown algae and calcium

Because of the double membrane, identification labels can be placed in-between the layers without affecting the water and without the need for adhesive. The size of the sphere can also be controlled when the water is in the form of ice during the “packaging” process.

The designers envision the product as something that people can create in their own kitchens. People can modify and innovate the recipe and CIY (“Cook-It-Yourself”) the Ooho on their own.

Similar to Wikipearl, the Ooho promotes the use of natural and edible packaging. It proposes a simple and cheap, biodegradable and edible alternative to plastic bottles and aims to eliminate the inconceivable amount of water bottles that end up in landfills.

Ooho is a Lexus Design Award 2014 winner and will be on exhibit at Milan Design Week.....
