You're Smart! So Why Aren't You Rich???

Image
If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Rich? Scientists Say It's Your Bad Luck... As it turns out, the most successful people are not the most talented ones. They are just the luckiest! At least that's what a new computer model of wealth creation suggests. Taking that into account could maximize returns on just about any kind of investment. The distribution of wealth follows a well known pattern sometimes called an 80:20 rule. 80 percent of the wealth is owned by 20 percent of the people.  A report last year concluded that just eight men had a total wealth equivalent to the wealth of the world’s poorest 3.8 billion people. This seems to occur in all societies at all scales. It is a well studied pattern called a power law that crops up in a wide range of social phenomena. But the distribution of wealth is among the most controversial because of the issues it raises about fairness and merit. Why do so few people have so much wealth? Traditionally people have thought that...

FREE Audio Book of the Day "God - The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist"

Image
  Throughout history, arguments for and against the existence of God have been largely confined to philosophy and theology, while science has sat on the sidelines.   Despite the fact that science has revolutionized every aspect of human life and greatly clarified our understanding of the world, somehow the notion has arisen that it has nothing to say about the possibility of a supreme being, which much of humanity worships as the source of all reality.  This book contends that, if God exists, some evidence for this existence should be detectable by scientific means, especially considering the central role that God is alleged to play in the operation of the universe and the lives of humans.   Treating the traditional God concept, as conventionally presented in the Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions, like any other scientific hypothesis, physicist Stenger examines all of the claims made for God's existence.   He considers the latest Intelligent Design arg...

Is Bill Gates 'Enslaving' Us With a Vaccine???

Image
  Will you be getting the COVID-19 vaccine when it arrives??? According to polls conducted in May 2020, only 50% of Americans plan to get the COVID vaccine when it becomes available.   23% of respondents say "You can't force me to get a vaccine!" The rest are "unsure."  Some say it's pure nonsense. However 44% of conservatives who were polled by YahooNews believe that Bill Gates is plotting to use a COVID-19 vaccine campaign as an excuse to implant microchips into people and observe them constantly.  This conspiracy theory, although vehemently opposed by 26% of conservatives and containing little to no supportive evidence, is still believed by millions of Americans.  The remaining conservative respondents were "unsure" of the truthfulness of the claim.  A similar poll conducted by FOX News suggests 50% of viewers believe the rumor is true. The other half is evenly split between “not sure” and “false.” Snopes , among other sources,...

Scientists Have Created New Type of Living Organisms

Image
Scientists Have Created New Type of Living Organisms...  These “biological machines” could one day live inside the human body.    Scientists have created a new life form using stem cells scraped from frog embryos. Researchers from the University of Vermont (UVM) and Tufts University built these, now termed "xenobots," named after the African frog species Xenopus laevis. The xenobots are one millimeter-wide and act like living, self-healing cells, but they are technically robots.    They can walk, swim and work together! Refined, they could be used inside the human body to reprogram tumors, deliver medicine or remove plaque from arteries.    "These are novel living machines," says Joshua Bongard, computer scientist who co-led the research. "They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It's a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism."    Using a supercomputer, researchers from UVM ran an evolution...

Strain Of The Day - Northern Lights

Image
Indica Origins: NL5 x NL2 Flowering: 45-50 days Harvest: mid October The Northern Lights (NL) is one of the most potent and famous indica strains . Even though there are a lot of copies circulating around with variations on the name, there are only 3 pure types from the original development of Northern Lights, which Sensi was lucky to acquire. Historically, the NL 1, a longer, more stretchy type with a fresh scent and good bud formulation, was the basis of the NL cross that was sold as Sensi’s Northern Lights. Currently, the NL 5 has taken over the most important role in the cross. Because NL 5 adds potency and reduces flowering time, but is not dominant in taste and smell, it also plays a starring role in the overall breeding plan at the Cannabis Castle. It has functioned as a test case for many crosses. The f1 generation is very predictable, giving uniform results and passing uniformly onto its hybrids it parents. The NL 2 contributes to the overall vigor of the ...
