Scientists have done experiments to make people believe they?ve felt the presence of God by exposing them to a specific series of pulses from TMS magnetism. The subjects described feeling an invisible presence near them or feeling connected to the whole world. Researchers think naturally occurring magnetism could be behind mystical and paranormal experiences, and may be the reason why some places are felt to be sacred.

All perception and thought is based on electrical activity in the brain. If you change the current, you should change the perceptions, since the human brain can?t tell the difference between magnetically stimulated reality and natural reality.

There may be more male geeks than women because women don’t have the genetic programming for “geekiness.” Women are programmed to be more adept in social situations because genes on the female X chromosome seem to give them better social skills. Men have only a single X chromosome, while women have two.

“Having two X chromosomes may be protective against whatever predisposes someone to not being able to make sense of the social world,” says Dr. Ruth Campbell. “It makes sense for women (because)?their survival, and that of their babies, is particularly dependent on reading social situations accurately.”

British scientists are trying to turn fish into vegetarians, in order to save the dwindling stocks of fish around the world. Fish farming looked like the answer at first, but salmon, trout, haddock and cod in fish farms are fed on smaller, wild fish. Since they consume up to five times their own weight, farmed fish are using up much of the world’s fish supplies.

But researchers think they’ve discovered a chemical that makes farmed fish eat vegetables. Dr. Andy Moore has developed a synthetic version of the chemical that makes them hungry. When it?s spread in the water, fish start frantically looking for something to eat. If they get hungry enough, they?ll eat anything?including vegetables.

Scientists are close to developing an effective vaccine against cancer that will starve tumors to death. When they’ve tried to kill tumors before, the cancer has mutated and become resistant to the treatment. This new vaccine will target the blood cells that surround them. This prevents the cancerous cells receiving the nutrients they need, causing them to die.

Scientists still have to find out if the vaccine will prevent the body from healing if it?s unable to repair or regrow the blood vessels. “?If you deliver permanent immunity against the production of blood vessels?the body will not be able to repair itself after an accident, for example,” says researcher Christian Ottensmeier.
