Researchers at MIT have successfully implanted false memories in mice. Using a technique called optogenetics, researchers were able to isolate neurons controlling a single memory in the brain, tag them, then later stimulate them with light to induce the memory.

“If mice had Hollywood, this would be ‘Inception’ for them,” said Steve Ramirez, one of the lead researchers of the study, referring to the 2010 science-fiction film. The study was published online in the journal Science.

This Walt Disney documentary introduced by Disney CEO Michael Eisner was shown in only 5 cities before disappearing without a trace. It is scripted as if there is an expectations that aliens are going to land any day. It never went anywhere. Obviously, the expected landing never took place, either.

The Greenland ice sheet is not only melting from above, but also from below. It has been discovered that this is caused by heat flowing up from Earth’s mantle. It’s variable across Greenland, absent in some places and intense in others. Last summer, NASA satellites revealed that the surface of Greenland’s massive ice sheet had melted over an unusually large area. NASA has been monitoring the Greenland melt for 30 years, July of 2012 was "unprecedented," partly because it was so large and partly because it occurred at the COLDEST part of the country, Summit station. The thawed area went from 40% of the ice sheet to 97% in just four days, starting on July 8th, 2012.read more

The plan was to cause Milosevic’s limo to crash in a tunnel, because the concrete walls meant that the crash would be violent enough so that there would be no survivors. A tunnel would also reduce the possibility of casual witnesses.read more
