Most conferences aren't televised

The only ones I can think that are are political ones

Oh wait, if it was televised you'd be saying it's because it's political

 

Was on the Heartland Institute youtube live conferene stream from Paris. There is a chat fundtion and they asked my question at the conference, solar physicist Willie Soon asked the question re UV and GISS of another scientist on the broadcast

Unlike the IPCC conference with Al Gore Webcasts talking to 10 people in a room, about ideology, this Heartland Conference was mainly about scientific findings and broadcast to anyone who wanted to see it.
I even got to take part.

Meanwhile secret decisions are being made in Paris. No one ever mentioned the thousand UN bureaucracies that came into existence after Copenhagen
You pay for them though, do you not think global warming money would be better served going into poverty and education?

 

It's very mild for December. 16 degrees in North Wales, apparently

 

What was your question/answer?

 

Scientists at Large Hadron Collider hope to make contact with PARALLEL UNIVERSE in days
SCIENTISTS conducting a mindbending experiment at the Large Hadron Collider next week hope to connect with a PARALLEL UNIVERSE outside of our own.

Collision course: Large Hadron Collider could discover parallel universe
The staggeringly complex LHC ‘atom smasher’ at the CERN centre in Geneva, Switzerland, will be fired up to its highest energy levels ever in a bid to detect - or even create - miniature black holes.

If successful a completely new universe will be revealed – rewriting not only the physics books but the philosophy books too.


It is even possible that gravity from our own universe may ‘leak’ into this parallel universe, scientists at the LHC say.

The experiment is sure to inflame alarmist critics of the LHC, many of whom initially warned the high energy particle collider would spell the end of our universe with the creation a black hole of its own.

But so far Geneva remains intact and comfortably outside the event horizon.

Indeed the LHC has been spectacularly successful. First scientists proved the existence of the elusive Higgs boson ‘God particle’ - a key building block of the universe - and it is seemingly well on the way to nailing ‘dark matter’ - a previously undetectable theoretical possibility that is now thought to make up the majority of matter in the universe.

But next week’s experiment is considered to be a game changer.

Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.

“We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.

"Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised.

"This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science.

“This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.

The top 15 early UFO sightings
Mon, July 13, 2015
Although many UFO sightings often have rational explanations, a small number truly are unexplained. Here's our pick of the most compelling early UFO sightings from all over the world.

“As gravity can flow out of our universe into the extra dimensions, such a model can be tested by the detection of mini black holes at the LHC.

“We have calculated the energy at which we expect to detect these mini black holes in ‘gravity's rainbow’ [a new scientific theory].

“If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity's rainbow and extra dimensions are correct."

When the LHC is fired up the energy is measured in Tera electron volts – a TeV is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion, electron Volts

So far, the LHC has searched for mini black holes at energy levels below 5.3 TeV.

But the latest study says this is too low.

Instead, the model predicts that black holes may form at energy levels of at least 9.5 TeV in six dimensions and 11.9 TeV in 10 dimensions.

High-potency pot smokers show brain-fiber damage
More THC associated with weakness in white matter linking cerebral hemispheres

SKUNKED A new study links marijuana with high levels of THC to damage in a major brain connector.

• People who use especially potent pot show signs of damage in a key part of their brain. The results, reported online November 27 inPsychological Medicine, are limited, though: The small brain scanning study doesn’t show that marijuana caused the brain abnormality — only that the two go hand-in-hand. But the findings suggest that potency matters, says study coauthor Tiago Reis Marques, a psychiatrist at King’s College London.

“We are no longer talking about smoking cannabis or not smoking cannabis,” Reis Marques says. Just as vodka packs more of a punch than beer, a high-potency toke delivers much more of the psychoactive substance tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. A bigger dose of THC may have stronger effects on the brain, Reis Marques says.

That’s important because as marijuana plant breeders perfect their products, THC levels have soared. Samples sold in Colorado, for instance, now have about three times as much THC as plants grown 30 years ago, a recent survey found (SN Online: 3/24/15).

Reis Marques and his colleagues scanned the brains of 43 healthy people, about half of whom use cannabis. The researchers used a method called diffusion tensor imaging to study the structure of the brain’s white matter, neural highways that carry messages between brain areas. Participants gave a detailed history of their past drug use, including information about how potent their marijuana was.

POT HEAD The corpus callosum — white matter that links the left brain to the right — is weaker in people who smoke high-potency cannabis, a new study suggests.

People who reported using high-potency marijuana showed signs of damage in the corpus callosum, the major white matter tract that connects the left side of the brain to the right. Water molecules diffused more easily along tracts of the corpus callosum, a sign that the tissue is weaker.

While the results show a link between smoking high-potency cannabis and white matter damage, they can’t prove that cannabis caused the trouble. “These people could have had deviant brain structures prior to use — they weren’t randomly assigned,” says psychologist Mitch Earleywine of the University at Albany in New York. The results could be explained by other drug use, too, he says. Cocaine, for instance, has been tied to corpus callosum abnormalities, says Earleywine, who serves on the advisory board of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

Because the experiment focused only on brain anatomy, it’s unclear whether these changes would affect abilities like memory, impulsivity or depression. It’s also unknown whether white matter tracts elsewhere in the brain are affected by THC content, says neuroscientist and psychiatrist Hans Breiter of Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. “This study leaves out what is occurring with the rest of the white matter,” he says. It will be important to look at other tracts, particularly those involved with memory and other behaviors that marijuana might influence, he says.

With the growing availability of supercharged marijuana, understanding exactly what it does to the brain is more important than ever, Reis Marques says, particularly for young people who may not realize the marijuana they are using is much more powerful than earlier versions. “We are in a stage where there is missing information, or the information is changing fast,” he says.

 

I posted it a while back

Don't worry, Sisu dismissed it as another #fraud

He's never noticed any brain damage in himself

More data faked by NASA. The real water level was 15% lower than this image shows.

 

The good folk of Carlisle will be delighted when they find out their homes are fine and the latest floods are actually just a figment of the Met Office's imagination Either that or the whole of the Lake District is in on the conspiracy.......

 

It's all just a practice run organised by the government to see how they'd cope with climate change-which of course isn't real, so it's just a way to scare us into coughing up more money.
They're all actors and it was filmed on the same set in Pinewood that they used to film the Moon landings. They got Roland Emmerich to direct this one.

 

That's bollocks

 

It's not- I read it somewhere....

 

You said climate change is not real, that's like saying the moon is just a light on God's sky

 

Still, nice to see all this ******ed stuff keeping the thread going.

Saint stick to cheap shots with your homegirls mate, and religion, any cerebral stuff is not for you, you are the opposite, emotional junk stright from the Oblongata, same for most of ye. Ye do actually have a neo cortex lads, I suggest using it. Not much evidence of that thus far. Just defensive egos looking desperately for a way to feel superior

 

The moon is God's smiley night-face as he looks down on the wonderful world He has created.

 

I haven't got one of those, whatever it is - I'm a moron, remember?

 

Pardon?

I prefer to stay medulla of the road
