A quantum physicist at Chungbuk National University in Korea has provided mathematical evidence that consciousness cannot be simulated in or replicated by a computer, and in turn that it cannot be the byproduct of neurological activity in the brain.

Professor Daegene Song has provided mathematical proof that human consciousness cannot be simulated by a computing device, due to self-observation being a unique mechanism in the process of consciousness. In his paper, "Non-computability of Consciousness," Song shows consciousness as a mathematical representation, and in the process that it is not compatible with mechanical systems.

A photographer in Spain shot a number of good images of 14 unusual objects over Spain. Karl Jennings, from Ireland, told the Mirror Online that he took the pictures in broad daylight at around 5pm on October 27, 2014, while in central Madrid. The objects are not any known form of drone, and their extreme maneuverability (moving very rapidly, flipping on their backs) and bright lights take them solidly into the unknown category. Graded A, probable unknown.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has reported that more than 42 percent of honeybee colonies died over the past year, and for the first time since the survey started in 2010, losses in the summer have now eclipsed losses seen over the winter months.

While the phenomenon of colony collapse disorder was first noticed nearly a decade ago, recent years have seen a reduction in the severity of the annual die-offs, until this past year, now up from last year’s 34 percent loss.
