The Mystery

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and Dr. Alex Gomez-Marin address the problem of memory localization. Rather than taking for granted that memories are 'stored' inside our heads and rushing to speculate about where and how, they instead entertain the idea that memories could be both everywhere and nowhere in particular -- memories are in time, not in space. To make such thoughts more thinkable, they discuss the recurrent historical failures to find actual memory traces in brains and bring forth some of the pioneering ideas of the French philosopher Henri Bergson in the context of current neuroscience. They also discuss concrete experiments to test such hypotheses and reflect more widely on the nature of form and the idea that the laws of nature may be more like habits than eternal edicts. They end by discussing the need for scientific pluralism. Dr. Alex Gomez-Marin, PhD, is a Spanish theoretical physicist turned neuroscientist. He was a research fellow at the EMBL Center for Genomic Regula

Neil deGrasse Tyson asks Richard Dawkins whether humans really are the most intelligent species in the universe or rather is it our hubris that makes us to believe in the same. Just like with 98% of the human and chimp DNA are the same and with only 2% change in the DNA, we possess such greater powers than the Chimp. Then imagine what are the possibilities of having a life form slightly different than that of ours. Intelligent life may be in it's 'very young' stage in the observable Universe. Its 200 billion galaxies show a clear potential to continue on as we see them today for hundreds of billions of years, if not much longer. "Because planets and life are so young in our Universe", says Harvard's Dimitar Sasselov, "perhaps the human species are not late comers to the party. We may be among the early ones." That may explain why we see no evidence of 'them' and may go a long way to explaining the famous Fermi Paradox, which asks if there'

What if I told you that the Earth that you and I exist in right now maybe one of many Earths. Many strange things have occurred over the centuries that have puzzled philosophers and scientists alike, changing the perception about what we thought we knew about our world, but none have been more world shaking than the several pieces of evidence that tie together to suggest that our world may not be the only one of its kind. In fact, there maybe other worlds, or for that matter, other realities. Here are 10 pieces of evidence that alternate realities exist. Number one is the double slit experiment. The double slit experiment was set up to fire electrons at a piece of material with two slits in it to see how they impacted the wall behind the material. What the researchers discovered that instead of producing two slit marks on the wall behind the sheet, it produced a wave-like pattern, so instead of acting like particles the electrons seem to act like waves, interfering with each other even

Money is not going to fall off the roof, never and God is not going to come with a bunch of money and then leave it in your apartment. This will never happen. There is a story that I told you that God will send you one ship, two ships, three ships and I am willing to send even the fourth one, but you have to get on otherwise you are sure to be drowned. So that is the bottom-line because time will run out and you will wake up every morning to the same old reality and that’s not a good idea. Unless you stop the Kala Chakra, the Time Wheel, it’s not going to stop by itself. You have to interfere. You have to interfere with your karma and say enough and enough. I can’t go on like this forever. What are you waiting for? To get old and if you wait too long then you will miss the train. Right now this is the time.  When Bill Gates was a high school student he used to go to the basement and read Fortune magazine. Can you imagine a high school student reading Fortune magazine because you will b

Consciousness. It's our awareness, our understanding, our ignorance. It's a concept that has puzzled humanity for thousands of years, but it's something we all experience every single second. What is consciousness? Is the Universe conscious? Ego death is the (often instantaneous) realization that you are not truly the things you've identified with, and the 'ego' or sense of self you've created in your mind is a fabrication. In some instances, it can offer a profound feeling of peace and connectedness with all that is, as the walls of separation the ego creates come crumbling down. In other cases, and especially if your ego resists this 'death', the experience can be very scary and result in a sense of detachment or disassociation, Kaiser says. "Often a complete loss of subjective self-identity occurs, causing depression, anxiety, and fear—but the more in touch one is with their spiritual core, the easier the awakening will be," she adds. Ul
