Kan een afbeelding zijn van hond

Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    Après un Séisme à 7,9, des OVNI ont été observés en Alaska !

    Des ufologues affirment que l’Alaska connaît une augmentation surprenante d’observations d’OVNI après que cette région ait subi ses pires tremblements de terre depuis une génération.

    Cette présence inhabituelle d’objets volants non identifiés a suscité bon nombre d’inquiétudes. Certains sont persuadés que l’activité extraterrestre et les tremblements pourraient être liés.

    Les théoriciens de la conspiration croient que l’Alaska est un endroit privilégié pour les OVNI puisque cet État possède une faible population et beaucoup de terres inhabitées.

    Frank Hoogerbeets, basé aux Pays-Bas, prétend être capable de prédire quand les tremblements de terre vont se produire en se basant essentiellement sur les alignements des planètes au sein de notre système solaire.

    M. Hoogerbeets explique : « Le tremblement de terre de magnitude 8 en Alaska est un signal d’alarme qu’une activité sismique de plus en plus importante arrive, surtout au cours de la première semaine de mars. »

    La vidéo, qui nous intéresse présentement, nous montre des OVNI planer au-dessus de la neige en Alaska après avoir volé dans le ciel.

    Un peu plus tôt, un puissant tremblement de terre a frappé une île du golfe d’Alaska, provoquant une menace de tsunami qui a poussé les résidents de cet État américain et ceux du long de la côte sud et de l’ouest du Canada à fuir.

    Après quelques heures intenses, l’alerte au tsunami a été annulée, permettant aux gens de rentrer chez eux.

    Aucun dégât important n’a été signalé, pas même sur l’île de Kodiak, la terre la plus proche de l’épicentre du séisme de magnitude 7,9.

    Pour les habitants de Alaska habitués non seulement aux menaces de tsunami mais aussi aux exercices réguliers, l’alerte, survenue tôt le matin, a déclenché les alarmes de leurs téléphones mobiles et a quelque peu inquiété la population.

    Les habitants ont, en effet, été alertés par l’arrivée possible d’un tsunami par un message téléphonique : « Alerte d’urgence. Danger de tsunami sur la côte. Aller sur les hauteurs ou déplacez-vous vers l’intérieur des terres. »

    Le séisme de magnitude 7,9 a été enregistré dans l’océan Pacifique à 12h32, à environ 170 miles au sud-est de Kodiak, qui abrite l’une des plus grandes bases de la Garde côtière.

    Ailleurs aux États-Unis, l’État de Washington, l’Oregon, la Californie et Hawaï étaient sous surveillance tsunami. Le dispositif a finalement été levé. Les dirigeants du Japon ont dit qu’il n’y avait pas eu de menace de tsunami chez eux.

    Les gens ont rapporté sur les médias sociaux que le séisme avait été ressenti à des centaines de kilomètres, ainsi qu’à Anchorage.

    Le chef des pompiers de l’Alaska, Eddie Athey, a déclaré que le séisme avait été ressenti comme un râle doux et qu’il a duré jusqu’à 90 secondes.

    « Cela a duré assez longtemps pour que vous commenciez à vous dire : ‘J’espère que ça s’arrêtera bientôt parce que ça ne fait qu’empirer’. »

    Le tremblement de terre a réveillé le lieutenant de police de Kodiak Tim Putney. Il estime que cela a tremblé pendant au moins 30 secondes :

    « Je suis à Kodiak depuis 19 ans, c’est le plus fort et le plus durable tremblement de terre que j’ai jamais ressenti. »

    Holograms are so last year: team develops 3D images floating in thin air

    BY ALEXANDRU MICU

    Three-dimensional recordings like those carried by R2D2 in the Star Wars film are closer to reality than you’d think.

    Image examples.

    Examples of the colour and resolution quality of the images.
    Image credits Smalley et al., 2018, Nature.

    Brigham Young University (BYU) professor and holography expert Daniel Smalley has wanted to recreate the scene ever since we first saw it. And it just goes to show that dreams come true, as a paper he recently published details the method he developed to do just that.

    These are the droids you are looking for

    We refer to this colloquially as the Princess Leia project,” Smalley said.Our group has a mission to take the 3D displays of science fiction and make them real. We have created a display that can do that.

    First of all, however, Professor Smalley notes that the image of Princess Leia we know and love from the film isn’t what people think it is — it’s not a hologram. A 3D image like that, one that floats in the air and can be viewed from every angle is called a volumetric image.

    The difference between them is subtle but significant. A hologram scatters light only on a (2D) surface, and if you’re not looking at that surface from the right angle you won’t see the original (3D) image. A volumetric display, on the other hand, has little scattering surfaces spread throughout a 3D space — the same space occupied by the image — so no matter how you’re looking at it, you’re are also looking at the scatters. In short, this means a volumetric image can be seen from any angle and it would still be 3D.

    Drawing on photophoretic optical trapping, Smalley and his team devised a free-space volumetric display platform that produces full-color, aerial volumetric images with 10-micron image points by persistence of vision. Since that’s probably really confusing, here’s the team explaining how their device works without all the technical terms:

    We’re using a laser beam to trap a particle, and then we can steer the laser beam around to move the particle and create the image,” said coauthor Erich Nygaard.

    This display is like a 3D printer for light,Smalley said. “You’re actually printing an object in space with these little particles.

    To showcase their work, the team have 3D-light-printed a butterfly, a prism, the BYU logo, rings that wrap around an arm, and an individual in a lab coat crouched in a position similar to Princess Leia as she begins her projected message. While some of the previous work at BYU have related to volumetric imagery, Smalley’s team is the first to successfully merge color images and optical trapping.

    The paper “A photophoretic-trap volumetric display” has been published in the journal Nature.

    Bill Clinton tried to discover truth about UFOs and JKF murder – this is what he found

    PRESIDENT Bill Clinton tried to discover the truth about the assassination of JFK and UFOs while he was in office.

    Scandal hit Mr Clinton asked Webster Hubbell, his associate attorney general, to find out all he could about two of the world's biggest conspiracy theories - that more people than Lee Harvey Oswald were involving in killing his predecessor John F Kennedy, and the US Government has covered up for years the fact that aliens have visited Earth.

    According to his memoir Friends in High Places, Mr Hubbell hit a brick wall at every turn.

    He was unable to find out anything more about the death of JFK.

    Thousands of files made public by the CIA about the death late last year were not handed over.

    And, while he was able to get the disclosure of some files on US interest in UFOs, there was no smoking gun evidence that aliens conspiracy theorists are seeking.

    Mr Hubble concluded that a "secret government wing" holds all such data, that even the President is not privy to.

    Clinton-UFO

    Bill Clinton tried to get to the truth of JFK and the UFO myth.


    Mr Hubbell wrote that the two tasks given to him by Mr Clinton were to resolve the mysteries surrounding the murder of JFK and to get to the bottom of the understanding of the government on UFO sightings.

    His conclusion of a secret government wing appears to tally with the claims of conspiracy theorists, like the Paradigm Research Group (PRG), which campaigns for alien disclosure that there are "unacknowledged special access projects" within the US government, that are not only top secret but not even admitted to.

    However, Mr Hubbell was given some information on UFOs from the then CIA chief James Woolsey. Mr Woolsey revealed the agency had run two projects named 'Project SIGN' and 'Project SAUCER' to access whether if UFO sightings were a threat to national security.

    The inquiries concluded there was no such threat.

    In March 2016 Express.co.uk told how Bill and Hillary Clinton had long intrigued the UFO disclosure movement after making little publicised moves in the 1990s to bring about openness through secret meetings with late billionaire business tycoon Laurence Rockefeller, also an alien truth seeker.

    It was understood the Rockefeller Initiative was unsuccessful, although neither of the Clintons have publicly spoken about it since.

    Mr Hubble, who is the only member of camp Clinton to go public about the former president's attempts said: "Mr Clinton was left disappointed by the lack of information on the subject they received."

    Mrs Clinton reignited the interest during her campaign for the White House in 2016, when she vowed to open up the UFO files if she got elected.

    Her campaign manager John Podesta is also heavily involved and regularly tweets about the subject of disclosure.

    Eindelijk onthult Elon Musk wanneer ’s werelds krachtigste draagraket voor het eerst de ruimte ingaat - HLN.be

    De Falcon Heavy in haar lanceerplatform.

     Twitter Elon Musk De Falcon Heavy in haar lanceerplatform.
     Wat is er al veel over geschreven en gezegd, over de superraket van SpaceX. De motoren van de Falcon Heavy werden vorige week al even getest, maar het blijft wachten op de lancering. Elon Musk brengt nu eindelijk duidelijkheid. ’s Werelds krachtigste raket wordt op 6 februari de ruimte ingejaagd - met aan boord zijn rode Tesla.

    SpaceX en Elon Musk zitten al jaren op hete kolen, maar op 6 februari is het - eindelijk - zover: de eerste lancering van de Falcon Heavy. Het ruimtetuig had eigenlijk al zijn eerste testvluchten in 2013 en 2014 moeten ondergaan, maar die werden altijd uitgesteld. Ook in november vorig jaar bleef het krachtige broertje van de Falcon 9 aan de grond. De lancering zou vervolgens “ergens in januari” plaatsvinden, maar dat wordt nu dus februari.

    Een behoorlijke vertraging dus, omdat SpaceX zich een beetje verslikt had in de ontwikkeling van de nieuwste raket. Liefst 27 motoren moeten tegelijkertijd ontbranden en dat blijkt een huzarenwerkje. Al komen we intussen een stapje dichter. Vorige week nog werden de motoren getest, mét succes. “De raket staat er nog”, klonk het daarna grappend bij Musk.

    Wat de Heavy nu zo speciaal maakt? SpaceX heeft eerder al met zijn Falcon 9 de commerciële lanceermarkt op zijn kop gezet. Zijn sterkere broertje doet meer en wil de komende twee jaar ruimtetoeristen naar de maan en Mars laten vliegen. De nieuwste uitvinding kan bijgevolg meer gewicht de ruimte insturen door de twee extra stuwmotoren. En dat maakt het ook mogelijk grote, commerciële satellieten mee te sturen. De Falcon Heavy wordt zo de krachtigste raket sinds de maanraket Saturn V, die sinds 1973 niet meer heeft gevlogen. En heeft meer dan tweemaal de vrachtcapaciteit van de krachtigste raket op de huidige markt (voor de specialisten: de Delta IV Heavy, goed voor 28,8 ton). Volgens SpaceX kan hun tuig 63.800 kilo in een baan rond de Aarde tillen. Op een reis naar Mars zou dat 16.800 kilo zijn.

    Met glas champagne

    De lancering zal plaatsvinden op het Apollo 39A lanceerplatform op het Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Van dit historische platform werd ook Neil Armstrong naar de maan gestuurd. 

    Om alles extra feestelijk te maken, stuurt Musk zijn eigen rode Tesla Roadster uit 2009 mee die dan “zeker een miljard jaar” zal kunnen rondzweven in de ruimte. NASA heeft intussen ook tickets verkocht om het evenement ‘live’ te kunnen bijwonen, met glaasje champagne en bijpassende bril, voor het luttele bedrag van 158 euro.

    Een jaar lang in de ruimte verblijven. Wat doet dat eigenlijk met je? - HLN.be 

    Astronaut Scott Kelly verbleef een jaar in de ruimte als onderdeel van één groot experiment

     ap Selfie van Scott Kelly uit het ruimtestation uit 2015.
     Bijna een jaar verbleef Scott Kelly in het ruimtestation ISS, terwijl zijn tweelingbroer achterbleef. Allemaal om te kijken wat het met een mens doet, een verblijf in de ruimte.

    Je bent bijna een jaar van huis, twee bevoorradingsschepen exploderen, je schoonzus wordt neergeschoten, en je bent vooral vaak de wc aan het repareren. Voor ex-astronaut Scott Kelly (53) was het recordverblijf aan boord van ruimtestation ISS – van 27 maart 2015 tot 1 maart 2016 – toch een ervaring die alle verwachtingen te boven ging.
    “Toen ik 18 was, raakte ik gegrepen door het boek The right stuff van Tom Wolfe”, vertelt Kelly. “Vanaf dat moment wist ik dat ik astronaut wilde worden.” Net als zijn tweelingbroer Mark, ook astronaut, maakte Kelly vier ruimtevluchten. In totaal verbleef hij 520 dagen in de ruimte – het Amerikaanse record.

    Aan het eind van zijn Europese promotietour voor zijn boek Een jaar in de ruimte- een combinatie van biografie en avonturenroman – is Kelly een dag op bezoek in het Nederlandse Space Expo in Noordwijk. “Wij inspireren een nieuwe generatie. Als we nooit op ontdekkingstocht waren gegaan, leefden we nu nog in de jungle.”

    De Engelse titel van uw boek luidt Endurance, naar het schip van poolreiziger Ernest Shackleton. Maar een ruimtereis is toch veel minder gevaarlijk en avontuurlijk?

    “Dat ligt er maar aan hoe je het bekijkt. Shackleton is mijn held. Maar zijn bemanning heeft alle tegenslagen overleefd. Dat kun je van de ruimtevaart niet zeggen. Bij de marine en bij NASA heb ik veel vrienden en collega’s verloren. Drie van de zeven slachtoffers van de ramp met de spaceshuttle Columbia in 2003 waren klasgenoten van me. Zelf ben je je natuurlijk ook altijd van die risico’s bewust. Maar inderdaad: aan boord ben ik nooit bang geweest, zelfs niet toen de bevoorrading even leek te stagneren. Je weet dat je in geval van nood altijd binnen een dag weer op de grond bent.”

    Senator Gabrielle Giffords, de vrouw van uw broer Mark, werd in januari 2011 in Arizona neergeschoten, tijdens uw eerste ISS-missie. Wat zou er gebeurd zijn als Mark op dat moment in de ruimte was?

    “Niets. Te kostbaar. Een ruimtemissie wordt alleen afgebroken bij een technische of medische calamiteit aan boord. Allemaal part of the deal. Je weet van tevoren dat je in een situatie terecht kunt komen waarin je geen afscheid kan nemen van geliefden. Gelukkig heeft Gabby het overleefd, maar het was wel een periode met zeer veel stress, vooral omdat je niet echt bij elkaar kunt zijn. Ook in die zin vergt een lange ruimtereis wel wat endurance – uithoudingsvermogen. Niet alleen van de astronaut, maar ook van partner en kinderen op aarde.”

     AP Voormalig Amerikaans president Barack Obama omhelst Mark Scott, tweelingsbroer van Scott en man van Senator Gabrielle Giffords die neergeschoten werd.

    NASA’s ‘Twin Study’ behelsde onderzoek naar de invloed van langdurige gewichtloosheid door uw medische gegevens continu te vergelijken met die van uw tweelingbroer. Wat is daar uitgekomen?

    “Dat ik knapper en slimmer ben dan Mark, haha. Maar serieus: het zal nog een paar jaar duren voordat alle resultaten bekend zijn. Wel werd ontdekt dat mijn telomeren, de uiteinden van chromosomen, tijdens de ruimtevlucht langer waren dan daarvoor en daarna. Precies andersom dan verwacht: telomeren worden korter naarmate je lichaam slijt. Interessant allemaal, maar ik verwacht niet dat dit soort onderzoek ooit invloed zal hebben op het bemanderuimtevaartprogramma. Ruimtevaart doe je niet omdat het makkelijk is, maar omdat het moeilijk is. Als het gemakkelijk zou zijn om de ruimte in te gaan, had ik er nooit voor gekozen.”

    Astronauten die de aarde vanuit de ruimte zien, ervaren het overview effect: relativering van het menselijk handelen, gekoppeld aan een indringend besef van de kwetsbaarheid van de aarde. Is het moeilijk om dat gevoel vast te houden als je alweer bijna twee jaar terug bent?

    “Helemaal niet. Onverschilligheid ten aanzien van klimaatverandering gaat me aan het hart, evenals tegenover oorlogs- en vluchtelingenproblematiek. Ik hoop dat ik kan helpen om die kwesties op de agenda te houden. Ik heb wel even overwogen om de politiek in te gaan, maar in het huidige Amerika bereik je daar alleen iets als je extremistische ideeën hebt of een aartsleugenaar bent.”

    Hoe hoopt u dat het ruimtestation ISS over pakweg 50 jaar herinnerd zal worden?

    “Misschien niet vanwege het wetenschappelijk onderzoek dat er is uitgevoerd, maar wel als de eerste permanent bewoonde buitenpost van de mensheid in de ruimte.
    ”Sinds november 2000, toen de eerste bemanning in het ruimtestation arriveerde, is er nooit meer een moment geweest dat alle mensen zich op aarde bevonden. Wat mij betreft zal zo’n moment er ook nooit meer komen. Als we het ISS in 2025 verlaten, hoop en verwacht ik dat er andere permanent bewoonde bestemmingen zijn – een ander ruimtestation of een maanbasis.”

    ‘Ooit gaan er mensen naar Mars. Niet omdat de aarde onleefbaar wordt of zo – dat is een slecht argument’

    Scott Kelly

    En wanneer komt nou eindelijk die one small step op Mars?

    “Door de steeds wisselende regeringen valt het voor NASA niet mee om een langetermijnstrategie te ontwikkelen. Maar ooit gaan er mensen naar Mars. Niet omdat de aarde onleefbaar wordt of zo – dat is een slecht argument. Maar wel omdat we als mensheid precies die dingen willen doen die het allermoeilijkst zijn. Of ik een tip heb voor de eerste mensen die zo’n maandenlange reis gaan maken? Doe kalm aan en wees geduldig. Zorg dat je een plan hebt en houd daaraan vast. En bedenk: beter is meestal de vijand van goed genoeg.”

    Ronald en Suzan vertellen over de vele UFO-ervaringen die ze hebben gehad. Luister hier naar hun verhaal

    Ronald Dekker en Suzan Aksoy zijn door Dan Hohlfeld van Talk is Cheap geïnterviewd over hun UFO-ervaringen.

    De oplettende lezer zal het tweetal nog kennen van een item van RTV Rijnmond van enkele jaren geleden. De ervaren UFO-jagers hadden toen een onbekend vliegend object vastgelegd boven Spijkenisse dat vervormde in de lucht.

    Passie

    Volgens Ronald, die als vliegtuigbouwer voor Fokker werkte, en Suzan kan iedereen UFO’s waarnemen, mits mensen zich er maar serieus op instellen.

    Enkele jaren geleden vloog er een metersgrote UFO over de woning van het stel. “We vonden het zo bijzonder wat we hebben mogen zien, dat het onderzoeken van het fenomeen eigenlijk een passie is geworden,” klonk het.

    Te weinig aandacht

    “We hebben dit al zo vaak mogen vastleggen en vinden dat hier te weinig aandacht aan wordt besteed, terwijl het toch iets heel bijzonders is,” aldus het stel.

    Als je objecten goed dichtbij wilt halen moet je volgens Ronald de nodige spullen hebben. “Met wegwerpcamera’s lukt het niet meer, het gaat zo snel allemaal.”

    Er is een geheime overheid die alle UFO-geheimen bewaart. Dit gebeurde er toen president Clinton toegang wilde

    Er is een geheime overheid die alle UFO-geheimen bewaart. Dit gebeurde er toen president Clinton toegang wilde

    Toen Bill Clinton president was gaf hij Webster Hubbell, zijn assistent-minister van Justitie, de opdracht om twee dingen uit te zoeken: wie JFK had vermoord en wat de overheid weet over UFO’s.

    Hubbell vertelde de president dat de overheidsagentschappen die hij benaderde hem op alle mogelijke manieren dwarsboomden, meldt Salon.

    Hij zei ook dat er een geheime overheid is die geheimen bewaart waar zelfs de president geen toegang tot heeft.

    Zeer actief

    In 1993, het jaar waarin Clinton in het Witte Huis kwam, werd de druk op de CIA steeds groter om toe te geven dat het onderzoek had gedaan naar UFO’s.

    Uit geheime CIA-stukken bleek dat het agentschap zeer actief was op het gebied van UFO-onderzoek, grote hoeveelheden documenten over UFO’s had verzameld en de Amerikaanse president hier veel over kon vertellen.

    Toch bleef de federale overheid volhouden dat er na het Roswellincident geen onderzoek was verricht.

    Geheim materiaal

    Al gelijk in 1993 ging Clinton gesprekken aan met miljardair Laurence Rockefeller, die resulteerden in het Rockefeller Initiative. Ze probeerden onder meer geheime overheidsdocumenten over UFO’s naar buiten te brengen.

    Tijdens een vakantie in augustus 1995 op de Rockefeller Teton Ranch in Wyoming informeerde de 85-jarige miljardair de president over UFO’s.

    Niemand weet exact wat er gezegd is, maar Clinton onderzocht indertijd hoe de overheid omging met geheim materiaal.

    Niet bekend

    In maart 1997 zagen duizenden Amerikanen de Phoenix Lights, die uitgebreide media-aandacht kregen.

    De mysterieuze lichten werden onder meer gezien door toenmalig gouverneur van Arizona Fife Symington, die zei dat het geen conventionele vliegtuigen waren.

    Het is nog altijd niet bekend wat mensen destijds hebben gezien.

    Zeldzame super-blauwe-bloedmaan op komst. Lees er hier alles over

    Er is deze week een uitzonderlijk schouwspel te zien aan de hemel: de combinatie van een blauwe maan en een maansverduistering resulteert in de ochtend van 31 januari in een ‘super-blauwe-bloedmaan’.

    Het gaat om een combinatie van drie fenomenen op exact hetzelfde moment: volle maan.

    Ten eerste is er op 31 januari sprake van een supermaan, die we zien als de maan op haar dichtst mogelijke punt bij de aarde staat.

    Helderder en groter

    Om de 29 dagen heeft de maan een minimale afstand tot de aarde.

    De maan toont zich dan helderder en groter dan normaal. De vorige supermaan was op 1 januari en de volgende zien we begin maart.

    Blauwe maan duidt aan dat we twee keer een volle maan binnen één maand meemaken. Gemiddeld doet een blauwe maan zich om de twee tot drie jaar voor.

    Oranjerode kleur

    De laatste dateert van juli 2015 en toevallig kunnen we het dit jaar twee keer meemaken, in januari en in maart.

    Ten derde dient zich de bloedmaan aan, waarbij de volle maan tussen de aarde en de zon in schuift. De maan verdwijnt achter de aarde en krijgt een oranjerode kleur.

    150 jaar geleden

    De maansverduistering aanstaande woensdag kunnen we in Nederland helaas niet zien omdat hij rond 14.00 uur plaatsvindt. Maar je kunt hier alles live volgen bij de NASA.

    De laatste super-blauwe-bloedmaan dateert van 1866, iets meer dan 150 jaar geleden.

    EVIDENCE OF ALIENS IN MEXICO – OF THE E.T. KIND

    (YouTube video screenshot)

    New ancient artifacts discovered in a cave in Mexico are being claimed as evidence extraterrestrials visited Earth about 5,000 years ago.

    The finds are weird and a little spooky, with sculptures portraying creatures with large eyes and elongated heads, similar to the popular depictions aliens seen in sci-fi movies. Some other artifacts portray spaceships flying from the Earth’s surface.

    A YouTube video is going viral on social media:

    The UFOmania channel has not provided any details regarding when and where these sculptures were found. However, it assures these sculptures are very popular among local residents who live near the caves in Mexico.

    The video has convinced alien buffs and UFO enthusiasts, and they strongly believe this is solid proof to substantiate that aliens once roamed across our planet. As the video went viral on the internet, people started proposing new theories to explain the artifacts.

    Unidentified Flying Objects have been recorded in various forms since the creating of man. Learn more in the intriguing DVD film: “The UFO Conspiracy: Space Travelers or Demonic Deceivers?”

    “Incredible evidentiary support of the fact that extraterrestrials have been engaging the human race for a very long time!” posted a user named Jamie Campeau.

    Another user named Nelio Anderson lashed out against the authorities for not learning more about the artifacts as they contradict established theories.

    “It is disgusting how the scientific community refuses to look at any evidence that contradicts the established theory,” Anderson wrote. “They claim to be scientists but based on their notorious record of making out of place artifacts vanish it is clear that there is a political agenda present. A knowledge filter. As such it is not surprising to see the establishment attack archaeologists/anthropologists/paleontologist and geologists who had the courage and unbiased views to publish these finds.”

    Of course, the images also look a lot like another form of extraterrestrial life: demons.

    Mysterieuze voorwerpen gevonden in Mexicaanse grot. Is dit bewijs voor het bestaan van aliens?

    Oude voorwerpen die in een grot in Mexico zijn gevonden zouden bewijzen dat de aarde zo’n 5000 jaar geleden is bezocht door buitenaardsen, meldt nieuwssite WND.

    In de grot zijn onder meer beeldjes gevonden van wezens met grote ogen en vreemd gevormde hoofden. Andere voorwerpen tonen ruimteschepen die richting het aardoppervlak vliegen.

    Beelden van de voorwerpen zijn op YouTube gezet door het kanaal UFOmania. Het kanaal weet niet precies te zeggen waar en wanneer de beelden zijn gevonden.

    In strijd

    Alienjagers zijn ervan overtuigd dat dit bewijs is voor het bestaan van aliens. Terwijl de beelden viraal gingen, kwamen internetgebruikers met de meest uiteenlopende theorieën.

    “Ongelooflijk bewijs van het feit dat buitenaardsen al heel lang contact onderhouden met het menselijk ras,” schreef Jamie Campeau.

    Nelio Anderson haalde fel uit naar de autoriteiten en vindt dat we hier meer over te weten moeten komen aangezien de beeldjes in strijd zijn met algemeen aanvaarde theorieën.

    Politieke agenda

    “Het is walgelijk hoe de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap weigert naar het bewijs te kijken, dat haaks staat op de algemeen geaccepteerde theorie,” schreef Anderson.

    “Zij claimen wetenschappers te zijn, maar er is ook duidelijk sprake van een politieke agenda aangezien ze onwelgevallige voorwerpen steeds laten verdwijnen,” zei hij.

    “Het is dan ook niet verrassend dat het establishment archeologen, antropologen, paleontologen en geologen aanvalt die het lef hebben om deze bevindingen te publiceren,” klonk het.

    NEW MASS SIGHTING: Large group of UFOs seen in three USA locations on same day

    EXCLUSIVE: UFO investigators are looking at three separate sightings of multiple UFOs which occurred in the US within less than eight hours.

    Details of the sightings have been reported to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), based in the US, which investigates and records such sightings.

    One incident happened at 12.45pm in Pasadena, California, when at least five "circular UFOs" were seen.

    The unnamed witness said in a report to NUFORC: "My cousin went outside to throw away the trash after we finished eating breakfast. 

    "He then returns and tells everyone that their are UFO’s outside. 

    "I thought he was joking but his wife went outside to look first my wife followed and then my kids and I followed. 

    "I looked up and in the sky I saw shiny dots in the sky. I observed the objects and then returned inside to get my iPhone to document what I saw.

    "We continued watching the objects for 15 minutes or so. Everyone else went back inside and I continued watching the UFOs."

    The witness later saw a father and son, and showed them the objects in the sky.

    He said: "I asked if they looked like drones. He replied, 'No Way'. 

    Mass-UFO

    Groups of UFOs were seen over three US locations the same day.

    My cousin went outside to throw away the trash after we finished eating breakfast. He then returns and tells everyone that their are UFO’s outside.

    UFO witness

    "I observed planes in the air and compared them to what I saw and the objects were much higher. "The objects seemed to hover and remain still. One was slowly moving as the others remained still.

    "I was able to observe the UFO’s for close to an hour."

    NUFORC said: "Seven observers witness a cluster of at least five tiny white objects that hovered almost motionless in a clear, cloudless sky, for approximately an hour.  

    "High-quality video footage of the event accompanied the written report. 

    "Our initial thought was that the objects might have been seagulls soaring in upwelling wind, but the objects do not appear to look, or behave, like birds."

    Express.co.uk showed the video to Scott Brando, who runs debunking website Ufoofinterest.org.

    He said he believes they were just a group of helium balloons that had been caught on the wind and were slowly rising away.

    The second sighting was at 2.30pm, also on January 13, about 90 miles to the south in Carlsbad, California, when five oval or circular orbs were seen.

    The witness was testing out new binoculars.

    He wrote to NUFORC: "While I was scanning some edges of a few clouds and some contrails looking towards the west over the ocean around 2.30pm, I noticed one very outstanding whitish looking object, between egg and football shaped but sometimes looking more round and other times having more of a top shape. 

    UFO-USA

    Express.co.uk

    The cases are being investigated by NUFORC, but Scott Brando says they were balloons and lanterns.

    "I had to assume that possibly the changing viewing angle had something to do with shape change although at times the object seemed to either be vibrating or rotating. 

    "That object suddenly appeared and was very slowly moving towards the ocean and back nearly directly overhead just above where I live. 

    "As I continued watching I noticed another object moving very slowly, coming directly out of the setting sun direction and moving very slowly in direct horizontal line towards the first object in what looked like a collision course.

    "These objects went from a white colour to sometimes a shimmering metallic or reflective mylar look but it wasn't solid looking when it began shimmering it seemed to flash as if it had multiple surfaces. 

    "As I continued to view the two objects I watched a third that seemed to drop down from above my focus to an altitude similar to the other two objects and north of them again the three manoeuvred back into a horizontal line with quite a bit of distance between each other. 

    "After that manoeuvre, they then broke the line and moved closer to form a triangular formation and slowly moved out towards the ocean and then back towards my viewing position.

    "After watching these slow manoeuvres for some time I noticed a fourth and fifth object materialising or moving from very high in the sky down towards the other objects and as these other two became about the same size as the others they all formed another horizontal line from north to south, evenly spaced, and kept that formation for a short while."

    Then, at around 8pm the same day more than 2,000 miles away in Hollywood, Florida, there was another sighting of "numerous orange lights above the coastline," by a law enforcement officer.

    The witness said simply: "Numerous orange lights observed moving slowly above the ocean from north to south.

    "All lights disappeared simultaneously."

    NUFORC was also sent video.

    It said: "NUFORC is attempting to determine what the wind direction and velocity were at the time of the sighting, in attempt to rule out the possibility that the lights may have been sky lanterns, or so-called 'Chinese' lanterns."

    Chinese lanterns are often mistaken for UFOs as they drift in groups before disappearing as the internal flame goes out. 

    Mr Brando said the second sighting in Carlsbad was likely to be the same helium balloons travelling south.

    He believes the objects seen in Florida were Chinese lanterns and unrelated.

    Mysterious sightings are being reported on this eerie stretch of the A30

    The hill is "named very aptly because of the winds whistling through the tall treetops"

    By Tomas Malloy Reporter

    Gloria Heather Dixon, alongside other researchers at the BUFORA, has investigated the area near Cricket St Thomas

    Gloria Heather Dixon, alongside other researchers at the BUFORA, has investigated the area near Cricket St Thomas

    Windwhistle Hill on the A30 is a hotbed for supernatural sightings, according to one UFO researcher.

    Gloria Heather Dixon, from the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA), has uncovered many tales of "strange lights, sounds, figures and shapes, unusual and eerie phenomena" on the stretch of road between Crewkerne and Chard.

    She has connected alleged UFO sightings on the mysterious hill, "named very aptly because of the winds whistling through the tall treetops", with the area's history of highwayman, smugglers, a dead witch and even the devil itself.

    Mrs Dixon, alongside other researchers at the BUFORA, has investigated the area near Cricket St Thomas, delving into archives and interviewing those who claim to have witnessed strange goings-on.

    Windwhistle Hill

    Windwhistle Hill

    Mrs Dixon wrote on the BUFORA website: "A book published in the late seventeenth century referred to a number of mystical reports made during the year 1662 by the people of Chard and Crewkerne.

    "Reports of strange visions and incidents have continued to date and according to the literature during the seventeenth and eighteenth Century Windwhistle had a history of highwaymen and smugglers in this area.

    "The A30 used to be a coaching route from London to the West Country and highwaymen could hide in the beech trees waiting for the carriages with their cargoes of valuables.

    "It has been suggested that the Windwhistle Inn near the summit was the central point for these highwaymen, who would use the wells and caves all around the area to hide their treasures and also the bodies of those they had robbed. The story goes that some skeletons have been discovered in these hideouts."

    She also notes that Alan Holt, in his book on East Somerset, comments that Windwhistle Hill itself is haunted by a witch, who was allegedly knocked down by a stage coach many decades ago.

    However, her research focuses on one particular interview with a local mother, Kate Walker, who was travelling between Yeovil and Chard with her family when she experienced two strange sightings on the same stretch of road.

    Windwhistle Hill

    Mrs Dixon wrote: "As they came to the top of the hill Kate and her family all observed a huge orange 
    light diffused by cloud, to their left-hand side and at the far end of Windwhistle Hill .

    "It seemed to be right beside the road, not very high up, and was partially obscured by cloud, but they did not feel any alarm as there was a power station and pylons further along.

    "However, as they drove nearer to the light, it was easier to observe and Kate states it was massive and totally static and very low and bright.

    "She describes it as being cigar shaped and vast in size, maybe 200-300 feet, and she estimates the light to be approximately 800-1000 feet above them.

    "As they got closer she noticed that the pub on the right hand side of the road, The Windwhistle Inn , was almost in total darkness, except for a light in a small upstairs window."

    Mrs Dixon writes that Kate looked up again at the light, which by that time was almost on top of the family.

    It is then said that Mrs Walker "lost" around half an hour, a space of time that was unaccounted for in her memory.

    Mrs Dixon writes that just a few days after the "puzzling incident", the family encountered another altogether more chilling experience in virtually the same spot.

    They are said to have seen two people in front of them, on the left hand verge, with one appearing to be lying down, and the other standing.

    She wrote: "Their initial thoughts were that someone had been injured and went to slow down, when to their astonishment, the person standing took one step out in front of them..one foot remained on the grass verge at the roadside and other foot was right over the centre of the road.

    "Kate described the figure as being abnormally tall with legs that were horrendously long and thin.

    "Her husband swerved to the far side of the road, and around the figure, and they kept on driving and did not look back, they all agreed that there was no one who could possibly have legs that long."

    Mrs Dixon also writes that fellow researcher Robert Moore conducted research into this particular area in order to establish whether similar cases have been documented, and he is said to have uncovered observations of unusual lights and an entity over a ten year period at Cricket Malherbie which is within 3km north west of Windwhistle Hill.

    She also recounts four different reports in the Yeovil Weekly News .

    One witness told of a strange incident experienced by her husband, grandson and herself in 1991, which involved what they perceived as a tall strange figure, which they claim was looking through the farm window followed a few days later by their observations of a 'saucer-shaped object.

    Another witness tells of a similar experience to the Walker family on Windwhistle Hill in 1975, which happened to her mother and father.

    A third witness tells of a strange experience on Windwhistle Hill whilst driving a lorry either in 1976 or 1977. He claims that his lorry went out of control as though by some "strange force". He felt as though the lorry was hovering over the road whilst he was experiencing this.

    Finally, a fourth witness tells of how she and her husband observed a very large unidentified object, 
    silver and shaped like a humming top, near Windwhistle Hill in November 1959. They watched it as though 'hypnotised' from about 23.00 to 09.00 hrs the next morning and for some reason felt unable to tell anyone.

    Mrs Dixon writes: "It appears that there is a history of odd occurrences in this area and certainly Windwhistle Hill is steeped in the traditional folklore of strange lights, visions and figures with ghostly highwaymen and galloping horses.

    "Tantalising stuff, but is there any substance to all of this? Well, none that can be evaluated in order to give any definitive answers."

    Bill Clinton and UFOs: Did he ever find out if the truth was out there?

    Bill Clinton had a keen interest in the government’s study of the possibility of alien contact with Earth

    WILLIAM J. BIRNESJOEL MARTIN

    In 1999, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would have required across-the-board cuts to most federal agencies and depart­ments, including the Department of Education, which President Clinton learned about as he was about to meet with a delegation of edu­cators. The budget cuts also meant that teachers would probably not be getting any raises, something that irked Clinton to the point where, in an impromptu and unscripted remark, he said, channeling Ronald Reagan’s famous statement, “If we were being attacked by space aliens, we wouldn’t be playing these kinds of games.” Funny how when Ronald Reagan said the same thing to the United Nations, folks commented that Reagan sure knew how to illustrate a point. When Clinton made his statement, Rush Limbaugh thundered into his microphone, “What’s he going to do, arrange one?”

    Just three years earlier, while on a trip to Ireland where he was visiting a very troubled Belfast, Clinton read a letter he received from a child named Ryan, who had asked him about what he knew regarding stories of a UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico. Clinton hadn’t come to talk about UFOs. He was trying to make a point regarding how children can be victimized by political violence. In front of his Belfast audience, Clinton said to Ryan, “No, as far as I know, an alien spacecraft did not crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.” But then he added, to the delight of his audience, “and Ryan, if the United States Air Force did recover alien bodies, they didn’t tell me about it, either, and I want to know.”

    Clinton did want to know, Webster Hubbell, Clinton’s associate attor­ney general, wrote in his own memoir. As AAG, Hubbell claimed that President Clinton asked him to find out all that he could about two things: who killed JFK and what the government knew about UFOs. He reported to the president after being stonewalled by the relevant agencies that there was a secret government that closely holds secrets to which the president doesn’t even have access.

    However, in 1993, the year Clinton was inaugurated, and as pressure was mounting on the CIA to confirm that it had followed UFO stories, Director of Central Intelligence James Woolsey “ordered another review of all Agency files on UFOs. Using CIA records compiled from that review, the study he ordered traced CIA interest and involvement in the UFO con­troversy from the late 1940s to 1990.” The report reveals that despite official statements to the contrary regarding the government’s interest in what hap­pened at Roswell, the air force did, in fact, open up an investigative unit, known first as Project SAUCER and then Project SIGN, to “collect, collate, evaluate, and distribute within the government all information relating to such sightings, on the premise that UFOs might be real and of national security concern.”

    The CIA report reveals that the agency followed the air force investigations into UFOs, especially the invasion of Washington, D.C. airspace in 1952, and the reports of pilots and radar operators who said they were seeing images they could not identify and did not seem to represent conventional aircraft. The report continues to explain the nature of CIA involvement in UFO cases over the decades and, without making the point explicitly, implies that despite any official denials, and, moreover, very rel­evant to the background of George H. W. Bush, the agency was very active in UFO research, had compiled voluminous files on UFOs, and had much to share with any American president, should the DCI have reason to do so. The report must have been a real eye-opener to President Clinton, not so much because of what truths behind cases it revealed or did not reveal, but simply that the files that the president had dispatched Webster Hubbell to locate, files that Hubbell said had been kept from him, now, albeit sanitized, were available to him.

    According to Jon Austin in the UK’s Express, as far back as Bill Clin­ton’s first term in office in 1993, Hillary Clinton was talking up UFOs with Laurence Rockefeller, who funded initiatives to research UFOs almost as a way to counter what the Condon Report had argued as well as making its own case for the study of the possibility of extraterrestrial visitations.

    “From early 1993 the businessman began a lengthy approach to Bill Clin­ton for disclosure, including files held by the CIA, in what became the Rockefeller Initiative.” Further, Austin writes, “During the Clinton family seven-day vacation in August 1995 at the Rockefeller Teton Ranch outside of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the 85-year-old billionaire privately briefed the President and First Lady on UFOs and his hopes.

    “No one else knows exactly what was said, but at the time Mr. Clin­ton, who had a personal interest in UFOs and was frustrated at the lack of information he could glean on it, was carrying out a review of how the Government handled confidential material.” For a scientific review of the Laurence Rockefeller conference on UFOs at Pocantico Hills, the basis for the Rockefeller conclusions about the need to research the UFO phenom­enon further, see Peter A. Sturrock’s analysis "The UFO Enigma," in which Rockefeller himself explains the purpose of his initiative.

    The Clinton perspective on UFOs, however, took a dramatic turn in March 1997, the time of the Phoenix Lights, the arrival of the Hale-Bopp comet, and the Heaven’s Gate mass suicide, when President Clinton himself would become involved in the most media covered UFO appearance since the 1952 invasion over Washington, D.C.

    The Phoenix Lights

    On March 13, 1997, the stage was set for thousands of witnesses across the southwest scanning the sky for the appearance of the Hale-Bopp comet — for comet watchers, a once-in-a-lifetime event. But it wasn’t just a comet that residents of Phoenix saw on that warm March night. The story actu­ally began before 8:30 p.m. when witnesses in Henderson, Nevada, at the Arizona border reported a strange sight, six orange lights in a triangu­lar pattern slowly moving toward the southeast and making no sound except for what the observer said was the wind. About fifteen minutes later another witness, this time behind the wheel of his car, saw a formation of lights heading his way as he drove north. He headed home, retrieved binoc­ulars, and kept watching the lights as they headed south and west towards Phoenix.

    Within minutes [of these] sighting, folks just north of Phoenix began seeing the lights off in the distance to the north-northwest, heading their way. It passed right over private streets, possibly as low as 100-150 feet, and traveling slowly toward the south. Then it seemed to stop dead in the air. It hovered. Then it picked up motion and continued through the narrow valleys toward the outskirts of the city suburbs where more people, some on the roads, some standing on their balconies, spotted the object, which many people described as unearthly.

    One of the witnesses was Arizona governor Fife Symington, who said in 2007 and on "UFO Hunters" that despite what he said at his faux news con­ference when he had his chief of staff dress up in an alien garb and show up as the explanation for the lights, Symington himself saw the 8:30 lights from his own backyard and said they were not a conventional craft because the object he saw flew too slowly for an airplane, did not have the thwap­ping sound of rotor blades like a helicopter, and was completely noiseless. A plane would have stalled at the speed it was moving, a helicopter would have shown distinct navigation lights and made a noise, especially at the low altitude at which it was flying, and the lights made the craft larger than a football field. Also, Symington said that as commander in chief of the Arizona National Guard and Air National Guard, he called Luke Air Force Base and was told no military craft were in the sky at 8:30 over Phoenix. Thus the lights were not confirmed as military by the Air National Guard.

    About two hours after the first sighting of the lights, a second set of lights flew over the same area, causing even more confusion and frenzy than the first set. Were the 10:30 lights over Phoenix a different object, the same object returning, or flares from air force or National Guard planes scram­bled to establish a conventional explanation for the 8:30 lights? At first, when the 10:30 lights appeared, residents called Sky Harbor air traffic control again and were told that no planes were picked up on radar. Residents also called Luke Air Force Base again and were told none of their planes were in the air. However, after the initial responses from Luke AFB, the air force said that the lights were ground illumination flares from a flight of A-10 Wart­hogs over the Goldwater test range. Months later, the Maryland Air National Guard announced that there were planes in the air on the night of March 13, 1997, from the 104th fighter squadron flying out of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona as the unit that dropped LUU-2B/B ground illumination flares in an exercise over the Goldwater test range. CIA UFO consultant Dr. Bruce Maccabee conducted a triangulation analysis of the events and said that it was indeed likely that the second formation of lights were flares that could be seen even though they were many miles south of the Phoenix area at 10:30. However, photo analyst Jim Dilettoso of Arizona’s Village Labs said that after he had performed a spectral analysis of the lights, he determined that the colors of the lights were inconsistent with flares.

    Witness and award-winning filmmaker Dr. Lynne Kitei has said that the 10:30 lights were not flares and that subsequent flare-dropping demon­strations by the air force to prove that flares were what people in Phoenix saw on the night of March 13, 1997, showed, again through an analysis of the aerial performance, the colors and the residue actually proved that what witnesses saw were not flares. The controversy over the nature of the lights still remains today.µ

    Researchshows black holes push away their dinners

    “Winds must blow away a large fraction of the matter a black hole could eat,” researchers said.

    Artist’s concept of a stellar-mass black hole (left) with its companion star. The hole’s gravity pulls gas away from the companion, and the gas forms what’s called an accretion disk around the hole. A black hole “wind” is driven off this disk.

    Image via NASA.

    New research provides the first evidence of strong winds from the disks surrounding stellar-mass black holes throughout “gorging” events, during which the holes are rapidly consuming mass. The researchers think the winds might act as a barrier, preventing the holes from consuming as much mass as they otherwise would. The results were published January 22, 2018, in the peer-reviewed journal NatureBailey Tetarenko is a University of Alberta Ph.D. student and lead author of the study.

    She said:

    Winds must blow away a large fraction of the matter a black hole could eat. In one of our models, the winds removed 80 per cent of the black hole’s potential meal.

    Thus small black holes might have surprisingly large effects, as so much material being pushed away would afterwards interact with the rest of a black hole’s home galaxy.

    Tetarenko is part of an international research team that examined several space-based data sources, going back to 1996. The team was looking for bright outbursts of X-ray emission, thought to occur when black holes suddenly and rapidly consume mass. Tetarenko’s professor and co-author Gregory Sivakoff, also of University of Alberta, told TorontoMetro:

    When [Bailey] started showing us the results … I think our mouths started dropping. Because we realized that her results were getting at something very, very critical in our field

    Oftentimes you’re nibbling at the edges of the field, but this is getting to the heart of our field.

    The team saw evidence of consistent and strong winds surrounding black holes throughout outbursts. Until now, strong winds had only been seen in limited parts of these events.

    They also observed that stellar-mass black holes can consume everything within a radius of about two to 100 miles (three to 150 km), depending on their size.

    Stellar-mass black holes are much smaller than the supermassive black holes thought to lie at the centers of most galaxies. Small black holes have masses of perhaps 5 to several tens times that of our sun, while, for example, the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way has an estimated four million solar masses.

    Yet the small and large black holes might share certain behaviors, and thus Sivakoff said this research sheds light on big questions. He said:

    Our galaxy seems to be a fairly typical galaxy. We know that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

    And so it might mean that as we learn how in general black holes feed and affect their environment, we may be learning more about the specifics of how our supermassive black hole affected how our galaxy formed, and in the end … how we got here.

    Bottom line: Researchers at University of Alberta have evidence that winds from the accretion disks surrounding stellar-mass black holes push away as much as 80 percent of the material the holes would otherwise consume.

    These clouds are called ship tracks

    Ship tracks typically form among low-lying stratus and cumulus clouds. They form around exhaust particles released by ships.

    NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image on January 16, 2018. These straight-line cloud patterns are called ship tracks, and they’re formed via ships’ exhaust. This image is off the coast of Portugal, where ship traffic is high, and some of these tracks stretch hundreds of miles. The narrow ends of the clouds are youngest, while the broader, wavier ends are older. NASA explained how they form:

    Some of the pollution particles generated by ships (especially sulfates) are soluble in water and serve as the seeds around which cloud droplets form. Clouds infused with ship exhaust have more and smaller droplets than unpolluted clouds. As a result, the light hitting the polluted clouds scatters in many directions, making them appear brighter and thicker than unpolluted marine clouds, which are typically seeded by larger, naturally occurring particles such as sea salt.

    Bottom line: Satellite photo of ship tracks, January 16, 2018.

    Scientists Use Ancient Vedic Sanskrit Texts To Teach Ethics To Artificial Intelligence

    Vedas—which literally mean ‘knowledge’, in ancient Sanskrit—are referred to as the four oldest texts originating in the ancient Indian subcontinent. The basis of the Vedic religion comes prior to the Hindu religion. The oldest of the four, the Rigveda, was composed orally in Sanskrit in the middle of the second millennium BC.

    Scholars believe there are four Vedas: the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda.

    Each Veda has been subclassified into four major text types – the Samhitas (mantras and benedictions), the Aranyakas (ancient texts on rituals, ceremonies, sacrifices and symbolic-sacrifices), the Brahmanas (commentaries on rituals, ceremonies and sacrifices), and the Upanishads (texts discussing meditation, philosophy and spiritual knowledge).

    Hindus consider the Vedas to be apaurueya, which means “not of a man, superhuman” and “impersonal, authorless”.

    The Vedas are ancient Sanskrit texts of Hinduism. Above: A page from the Atharvaveda.

    Now, computer scientists are analyzing the sacred Indian texts an applying the methods of mathematical logic to achieve a key of standards by which they are able to teach Ethics to AI.

    According to researchers from the Institute of Logic and Computation at TU Wien, a machine could be presented with a certain set of obligations and prohibitions, and follow certain rules to automatically determine if a certain type of behavior is acceptable or not: for example, a car without driver that should make ethical decisions in the event of an accident.

    “The Vedas are a large body of ancient Sanskrit texts, some of which contain very clear moral statements – such as ‘one should not harm any living being’”, explains Agata Ciabattoni from the Institute of Logic and Computation at TU Wien. Ciabattoni is supervising the research project, in close collaboration with Elisa Freschi, Sanskritist from the Austrian Academy of Science. Their goal is to understand how ancient Vedas can help teach Ethics to AI.

    Looking back at Ancient Civilizations to teach Artificial Intelligence

    Scientists from TU Wien say there was a philosophical school in ancient called Mimamsa, which uses a rigorous approach to analyze the obligations and prohibitions mentioned in the Vedas.

    For many centuries, the scholars of Mimamsa formulated rules to draw conclusions from the premises and to resolve apparent contradictions.

    “This is closely related to what logicians like us are doing,” says Agata Ciabattoni. “We can formalize such rules in a language that computers can also understand.”

    The Syena Sacrifice

    Researchers point towards a dispute called the “Syena sacrifice”, a sacrifice in the Vedas aimed at killing enemies.

    How can this be harmonized with the rule of not harming any living being?

    “For a Hindu, the Vedas are absolutely correct, so there can be no contradiction,” says Agata Ciabattoni.

    In the seventh century, Prabhakara, an Indian philosopher of the Mimamsa tradition, solved this problem by applying several rules of the Vedas in a logical, but rather complicated manner.

    Several scholars refused to acknowledge that this reasoning was correct, and this dispute continued for centuries.

    Therefore, Agata Ciabattoni and her team of researchers worked closely with ancient Sanskrit experts to translate the rules of Mimamsa and the Vedic laws into mathematical formulas, and they were able to show that Prabhakara had been right all along.

    Given the prescriptions of the Vedas, the Prabhakaras logic was perfect, showing how mathematical logic is able to solve an old philosophical dispute.

    “For us, this was a first proof of concept that we can really learn something new by linking Indology and formal logic”, says Ciabattoni. “But ultimately, we want to accomplish much more. We want to understand how to express with mathematical precision beneficial logics dealing with prohibitions and obligations.”

    Understanding the ancient Vedas in order to teach machines

    As noted by experts in the new study, vlassical logic deals with statements that are true or false, and provides rules that we can use to combine true statements, creating new statements that are also true.

    This is how mathematics works: if we start with something true and follow a certain set of rules, the final result will therefore be true.

    However, scientists at TU Wien say this kind of logic is not useful if we want to deal with ethics.

    “When we deal with prohibitions and obligations, we are not interested in what is true or false, but in what we should or should not do,” concludes Ciabattoni.

    “Therefore, a completely different kind of logic is needed, called deontic logic. Just like classical logic, it can be expressed as mathematical formulae which allow us to unequivocally determine whether or not a certain line of reasoning is correct.”

    Unexpected deep-Earth oxidized iron surprises geologists

    BY MIHAI ANDREI

    Researchers drilling into the Earth’s mantle have made an unexpected finding: analyzing rocks which came from 550 km below the surface, they discovered highly oxidized iron, similar to the rust we see on our planet’s surface.

    Diamonds with garnet inclusions can form at depths down to 550 kilometers below the surface.

    Image credits: Jeff W. Harris, University of Glasgow.

    If there’s something you don’t expect to find kilometers beneath the surface, it’s rust. The oxidized iron was found as inclusions in diamonds and garnets coming from the deep mantle. Of course, researchers didn’t drill 550 km (the deepest borehole “only” went 12 km deep) but reaching the top of the mantle enables geoscientists to analyze rock samples that migrated from deeper parts.

    It’s quite a unique opportunity, as geoscientists don’t know that much about how oxidation happens in the deep Earth — actually, they weren’t even sure whether it takes place at those depths in the first place.

    On Earth’s surface, where oxygen is plentiful, iron will oxidize to rust,” explained Thomas Stachel, professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta, who co-authored the study. In the Earth’s deep mantle, we should find iron in its less oxidized form, known as ferrous iron, or in its metal form. But what we found was the exact opposite–the deeper we go, the more oxidized iron we found.

    Most of us are familiar with oxidized iron through a process we commonly see on the surface: rust.

    Image via Pixabay.

    The discovery suggests that some oxidation does happen, even at those ungodly depths. Researchers believe the main culprit is molten carbonate, which was carried in sinking slabs of ancient seafloor. However, it’s hard to explain exactly how oxidation happened there in the first place. It’s counterintuitive and hard to explain why the deeper they went, the more oxidized iron they found. Nevertheless, it raises some intriguing possibilities.

    It’s exciting to find evidence of such profound oxidation taking place deep inside the Earth,” said Stachel, Canada Research Chair in diamonds.

    Unfortunately, this study raises more questions than it answers. We know a lot about the carbon cycle on the Earth’s surface, but what happens in the mantle? This study seems to indicate that carbon can go down as far as 550 kilometers below the surface, where it interacts with the rocks and crystallizes as diamonds. But diamonds can migrate even deeper in the mantle. Does this mean, that the carbon cycle too extends this low? The study seems to suggest it, but if this is the case, then where does the oxygen come from, and how is the process different from what happens at the surface? Those are all questions to be answered by future research.

    The study “Oxidized iron in garnets from the mantle transition zone,” was published in Nature Geoscience (doi: 10.1038/s41561-017-0055-7).
