The Adult Brain Can Still Change

Plasticity …
A new case study of a stroke patient suggests that adults’ brains might be just as “plastic,” or capable of creating new neural pathways, as those of children.

Thanks so much to the good Doctor Schnaggels for pointing this out … so important! We move through life, driving our vehicle from the wrong cockpit.
It makes perfect sense: in the martial arts they always say “move from your dan tien” … such is life …
Check out our chat transcript regarding this breakthrough in understanding here.
Onward …
Scientists are claiming to have discovered a second brain - in the human stomach.
The breakthrough, involving experts in the US and Germany, is believed to play a major part in the way people behave.
This ’second brain’ is made up of a knot of brain nerves in the digestive tract. It is thought to involve around 100 billion nerve cells - more than held in the spinal cord.
Brainwaves Capable of Generating Weak Gravitational Fields

Read the abstract and extrapolate on your own.
It is known that the biological activity of the brain involves radiation of electric waves. These waves result from ionic currents and charges traveling among the brain’s neurons. But it is obvious that these ions and charges are carried by their relevant masses which should give rise, according to the gravitational theory, to extremely weak gravitational waves.
We use in the following the stochastic quantization (SQ) theory to calculate the probability to find a large ensemble of brains radiating similar gravitational waves. We also use this SQ theory to derive the equilibrium state related to the known Lamb shift.
Fake Scientist Unwittingly Made Huge Discovery!

Woo-suk, a leading stem cell scientist, from South Korea, fell from grace last year when an official inquest found he had faked data on human cloning. The fraud severely dented hopes for treatments based on embryonic stem cells, which in principle can grow into any tissue in the body. But it appears he has inadvertently achieved a world first…
Can you Survive in Space without a Spacesuit?

Can anyone tell me the movie where they showcase this? I think its Event Horizon but can’t be certain.
2001 has a space exposure scene but there is a contemporary film that depicts the space exposure scenario more completely.
In the new sci-fi film Sunshine, an astronaut named Mace must leave his spacecraft without a protective suit. He makes it through his exposure with only a case of frostbite. Could you really survive outer space without a suit? Yes, for a very short time.
