In Whitley’s new extraordinary new journal, he writes about an article in a scientific publication “about what could be the most important physics experiment in history, one that could, by revolutionizing our understanding of reality, enable us to much more accurately know who and what we are. And that may be radically different from what we appear to ourselves to be?solid, physical beings living out our lives in a predictably linear reality, and understanding this might lead to dramatic changes in the way we see our world and our lives?not to mention how we change them.” Will we start to see the world this way in the future?

In the New Scientist of January 17, 2009, there appears an article about what could be the most important physics experiment in history, one that could, by revolutionizing our understanding of reality, enable us to much more accurately know who and what we are.

And that may be radically different from what we appear to ourselves to be–solid, physical beings living out our lives in a predictably linear reality. We may actually be part of an entirely different reality, and understanding this might lead to dramatic changes in the way we see our world and our lives–not to mention how we change them.

In honor of the inauguration of the first black President, when many banquets and parties will be held (as well as Martin Luther King Day), we present the following information: we know that Blacks have different immune systems from Whites, now it turns out they have different taste buds too.

It turns out that people of African ancestry are more sensitive to bitter tastes, but of course, African Americans are like our new President Obama?they’re “mutts” (the same as most of the rest of us). In New Scientist, Ewen Callaway quotes geneticist Sarah Tishkoff as saying, “If they have more genetic diversity, there’s more variation in their ability to taste.”

Is this something WE can catch? – Pelicans that seem to be suffering from a mysterious disease are crashing down onto moored boats and wandering dazed along highways. Hundreds of dead bird bodies have been found. This sort of thing has happened before, in Texas. Is this something humans can catch? It?s too bad we can’t ask them about it.

In the Orange County Register, Pat Brennan quotes Jay Holcomb, of Wildrescue, as saying, “These birds are on the freeway, getting run over. A bunch we’ve seen have been hit. They’ve been landing on yards five miles inland. When some of the people have captured them in parking lots, they just sit in the corner. They just go pick them up.”
