Anatoliy Ivanitskiy (Ivanitckiy) made the few scientific discoveries (Ukrainian science)


Anatoliy Ivanitskiy had greater success: his project which was devoted to the compensation of the communication signal's attenuation. The project was not costly, so the device was created on the base of Academy. Anatoliy Ivanitskiy, professor of the Communication Academy: on the screen of oscillograph we're observing our function: it's inputting to our device, then we can observe point by point how this signal is transforming. Proffesor Ivanitskiy has made a number of scientific discoveries. He was the first who specified the equations of Maxwell. The result was phenomenal: a scientist created an attenuation area which is equal zero. Anatoliy Ivanitskiy: Please, pay attention: here is some λ (lambda) which belongs to our equation for the signal. If this value is equal zero, we can get a usual signal which is known. The divergence of the vector B is equal zero if we use a multiplier of such a kind, in this case it appears as a multiplier of some value that is differing from zero and the divergence of the vector B doesn't equal zero. As a result of all researches the scientist has fixed a new environment of the spreading of the signal. Thereby, experts had the possibility to improve a transmission of the signal. Anatoliy Ivanitskiy: a signal which was sent from Odessa to Moscow will come weaken. This signal must be reinforced, in order to do this we have to apply an amplifier. However, at once we can send it in the type which is pointed before. Than we deoxidize it so due <b>...</b>

The Many Worlds Interpretation of Einstein's Relativity


This is not the relativity of simultaneity. We quantitatively investigate relativistic energy, which is the proper replacement for relativistic mass, in different reference frames for Jupiter, Earth, and a comet passing Jupiter. Surprisingly easily, it follows that the different reference frames lead to different trajectories for the comet as it passes Jupiter. Also, different reference frames will not agree on electromagnetic interactions between objects. This leads us to conclude that relativity implies a many-worlds interpretation, very similar to the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

@Google Presents Michael Nielsen: Reinventing Discovery


"In Reinventing Discovery, Michael Nielsen argues that we are living at the dawn of the most dramatic change in science in more than 300 years. This change is being driven by powerful new cognitive tools, enabled by the internet, which are greatly accelerating scientific discovery. There are many books about how the internet is changing business or the workplace or government. But this is the first book about something much more fundamental: how the internet is transforming the nature of our collective intelligence and how we understand the world. Reinventing Discovery tells the exciting story of an unprecedented new era of networked science. We learn, for example, how mathematicians in the Polymath Project are spontaneously coming together to collaborate online, tackling and rapidly demolishing previously unsolved problems. We learn how 250000 amateur astronomers are working together in a project called Galaxy Zoo to understand the large-scale structure of the Universe, and how they are making astonishing discoveries, including an entirely new kind of galaxy. These efforts are just a small part of the larger story told in this book--the story of how scientists are using the internet to dramatically expand our problem-solving ability and increase our combined brainpower. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand how the online world is revolutionizing scientific discovery today--and why the revolution is just beginning"--

MonsterQuest Season 3: Episode 11 - Mysterious Ape Island


In the Pacific Northwest, a small island may hold the clue to unraveling the mystery of the legendary Sasquatch. Vancouver Island is a densely forested land mass located about 70 miles northwest of Seattle, Washington. The island is separated from Canada's mainland by water and is a popular destination for hikers, hunters and possibly something frightening and mysterious. Natives told tales to their children of an ape-like beast to be feared that would steal them should they venture into the forest. More than just stories of a bogeyman, recent witnesses tell equally terrifying stories of a monster that attacks as they sleep and is seen devouring fish on the coastline. Now our expedition team follows up these reports, launches their own hunt and finds that recent scientific discoveries of swimming apes could lead them to their most astounding discovery yet. ___ Twitter: @Chris_IEC

Scientific Proof of Telepathy


In science there is a documented phenomenon called "The Multiples Effect." Now the phenomenon of multiples was cataloged as having occurred 148 times by 1922. Now what is multiples? Multiples refers to different scientists who are isolated from each-other who are not reading about each-others work independently coming up with exactly the same discoveries at almost exactly the same time. I'm just going to give you a few examples. Calculus was discovered independently by more than one scientist at a time. The theory of evolution, it wasn't just Darwin there were other scientists working on it at the same time. Decimal fractions. The discovery of the oxygen molecule. The discovery of color photography. The discovery of logarithms. The discovery of sunspots in the 1600's. The discovery of the law of conservation of energy. Six different people simultaneously invented the thermometer, each of whom thinking that they discovered it themselves and that they deserve the credit for it. 9 different people independently discovered the telescope at the same time and all wanted to be credited with the discovery. Multiple individuals invented the typewriter at the same time and five different people invited the steamboat at the same time. So what I am telling you is that as we are working at these problems, as our mind is trying to solve something and we start to have new insights its as if those insights are actually creating an informational field... a code that goes into this global <b>...</b>

Organizing the World's Scientific Information by Date and Author is Making Mother Earth Sick


Google Tech Talk (more info below) August 25, 2011 Presented by Kristen Marhaver. ABSTRACT Scientific information looks a lot like the news because it's printed on paper and built with sentences we believe to be true. But treating scientific papers as if they were a constant stream of news is dangerous because it gives even the most crucial discoveries about Earth's ecosystems only one day of public attention. This confuses the public by obscuring true scientific consensus and allows policymakers to avoid tough decisions. In my talk, I'll explain why we should be organizing scientific discoveries as if they were products, using informal peer ratings to keep the most important work at the top of list for policymakers and the public to see. Such an effort requires us to consider factors like subscription walls, data access, political agendas, the nature of scientific debate and the deeply-entrenched habits of old academia. Despite the challenges of ranking a product as peculiar as the world's scientific information, I'll argue that a new approach is crucial if we are to make the tough decisions that will protect Mother Earth for the long term. Speaker Info: Kristen Marhaver, UC Merced. Kristen is a Caribbean coral biologist who earned her Ph.D. at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and her bachelor's degree in biology at Georgia Tech.

Learn about solar flares, magnetars and cosmic rays coming from both galactic and universal sources that are bombarding our planet and causing severe earth changes from earthquakes to imminent pole shift. Rennison also documents the energetic catalyst fueling the consciousness leap in humans, as well as the DNA spike and discusses the scientific and metaphysical implications. Behind all this is an electrical universe, Rennison posits, with a plasma-based 'shadow biosphere' that is manifesting to take advantage of the increased energies on the planet, at once revealing and debunking classic UFO theory. She documents many under-reported scientific discoveries and a cover-up campaign by NASA and mainstream science in this far-ranging discussion that is essential listening to understand the changing times we live in and the root causes behind them.

Lawrence Krauss - Hiding in the Mirror: The Mysterious Allure of Extra Dimensions


Lawrence Krauss (Arizona State University) September 21st, 2011. Hiding in the Mirror: The Mysterious Allure of Extra Dimensions Throughout recorded history, humans have longed for a world in which there is more out there than meets the eye. Everything from Hidden universes and alternate realities to vastly different speculations about heaven, hell, and an afterlife have fascinated humankind for millenia, and more recently have captured the public's imagination in such TV shows as The Twilight Zone and Star Trek , in innumerable science fiction books and movies, and art from Picasso to Dali. Physicists are now hotly debating the possible existence of any underlying mathematical beauty associated with a host of new dimensions that may or may not exist in nature. Further, it has now been proposed that the extra dimensions of string theory may not even be microscopically small. Instead, they could be large enough to house entire other universes with potentially different laws of physics, and perhaps even objects that, like the eight dimensional beings in a Buckaroo Banzai story, might leak into our own dimensions. Whenever scientists speculate about such hidden realities as extra dimensions we have to ask ourselves whether their speculations are more likely to reflect the world as it is, or as our minds are programmed to want it to be. Does the longstanding human love affair with extra dimensions reflect something fundamental about the way we think, rather than about the <b>...</b>

NASA's Kepler Discovery Confirms First Planet Orbiting Two Stars


September 15, 2011 (CERESTV.com) PASADENA, Calif. -- The existence of a world with a double sunset, as portrayed in the film Star Wars more than 30 years ago, is now scientific fact. NASA's Kepler mission has made the first unambiguous detection of a circumbinary planet -- a planet orbiting two stars -- 200 light-years from Earth. Unlike Star Wars' Tatooine, the planet is cold, gaseous and not thought to harbor life, but its discovery demonstrates the diversity of planets in our galaxy. Previous research has hinted at the existence of circumbinary planets, but clear confirmation proved elusive. Kepler detected such a planet, known as Kepler-16b, by observing transits, where the brightness of a parent star dims from the planet crossing in front of it. "This discovery confirms a new class of planetary systems that could harbor life," Kepler Principal Investigator William Borucki, of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., said. "Given that most stars in our galaxy are part of a binary system, this means the opportunities for life are much broader than if planets form only around single stars. This milestone discovery confirms a theory that scientists have had for decades but could not prove until now." A research team led by Laurance Doyle of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif., used data from the Kepler space telescope, which measures dips in the brightness of more than 150000 stars, to search for transiting planets. Kepler is the first NASA mission <b>...</b>

Mars Opportunity Discoveries @ 8 Years


Watch this and other space videos at SpaceRip.com The Mars rover Opportunity was supposed to last three months. It's now going on Nine Years. It's proved so durable that in 2011 it was essentially sent on a whole new mission. Opportunity reached a multi-year driving destination, Endeavour Crater, in August 2011. At Endeavour's rim, it has gained access to geological deposits from an earlier period of Martian history than anything it examined during its first seven years. It also has begun an investigation of the planet's deep interior that takes advantage of staying in one place for the Martian winter. Opportunity landed in Eagle Crater on Mars on Jan. 25, 2004, Universal Time and EST (Jan. 24, PST), three weeks after its rover twin, Spirit, landed halfway around the planet. In backyard-size Eagle Crater, Opportunity found evidence of an ancient wet environment. The mission met all its goals within the originally planned span of three months. During most of the next four years, it explored successively larger and deeper craters, adding evidence about wet and dry periods from the same era as the Eagle Crater deposits. In mid-2008, researchers drove Opportunity out of Victoria Crater, half a mile (800 meters) in diameter, and set course for Endeavour Crater, 14 miles (22 kilometers) in diameter. "Endeavour is a window further into Mars' past," said Mars Exploration Rover Program Manager John Callas, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The trek took three <b>...</b>

Noughts and Crosses - Jonathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief - BBC


Noughts and Crosses - Jonathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief - BBC With the domination of Christianity from 500 AD, Jonathan Miller wonders how disbelief began to re-emerge in the 15th and 16th centuries. He discovers that division within the Church played a more powerful role than the scientific discoveries of the period. He also visits Paris, the home of the 18th century atheist, Baron D'Holbach, and shows how politically dangerous it was to undermine the religious faith of the masses.

James Burke Connections #1 - The Trigger Effect


"The Trigger Effect" details the world's present dependence on complex technological networks through a detailed narrative of New York City and the power blackout of 1965. Agricultural technology is traced to its origins in ancient Egypt and the invention of the plow. The segment ends in Kuwait where, because of oil, society leapt from traditional patterns to advanced technology in a period of only about 30 years. Connections is a ten-episode documentary television series created, written and presented by science historian James Burke. The series was produced and directed by Mick Jackson of the BBC Science & Features Department and first aired in 1978 (UK) and 1979 (USA). It took an interdisciplinary approach to the history of science and invention and demonstrated how various discoveries, scientific achievements, and historical world events were built from one another successively in an interconnected way to bring about particular aspects of modern technology. The series was noted for Burke's crisp and enthusiastic presentation (and dry humour), historical reenactments, and intricate working models.

Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids 2011 - International scientific conference 1 of 12


In September 2011 the Second International Scientific Conference on the Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids was held in the town of Visoko in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This TV special aired in the weekly show ''ON THE EDGE OF SCIENCE'' - by HTV (Croatian national television) - covers the findings and experts on the Bosnian pyramids showing new amazing discoveries and measurements challenging many modern day paradigms about the pyramids and the history of mankind in general. I deem access to this information a right of every human being since it concerns our common legacy, the past of our world - hence the translation in the lingua franca of the 21st century. Spread it far and wide! I hope you'll forgive any eventual type-O. The translation is done in haste and to the best of my abilities in such a restricted time frame. Plus - it's free - as the Internet should be (STOP ACTA!). Enjoy. Greetings from beautiful Croatia, CB.
