German cancer researcher Dr. Michael Werner claims to have eaten nothing but small amounts of fruit juice mixed with water for four years. He says that, like a plant, he gets his nutrients from sunlight. In the past, some gurus in India have claimed to receive nourishment from their breathing alone. Dr. Helmut Oberritter says, “It is not possible to live on what one gets from fruit juice alone. There are lots of vital proteins and fats that are missing. Obviously this case needs a lot more investigating if we are to explain it.”

Worldtribune.com reports that Werner has written a book about his experiences, and says he actually gained weight when he started his diet.

This is the time of year when the people in Greenwhich, England figure out what time it really is and adjust the time by a second or two. A sediment mainly made up of algae, which is affected by light and thus “records” the amount of sunlight, indicates that days are longer than they used to be, meaning the rotation of the Earth is slowing down. Astronomers say that during the early years of Earth’s existence, it took only six hours for our planet to make one complete rotation, which was the length of a single day.

Why is Earth slowing down? By melting some of the ice at the poles, global warming could be making Earth?s rotation speed up and our days shorter.
