A popular quantum physics theory views our 3D universe as composed of billions and billions of ‘energy strings', some closed, some open, and some in a loop, resembling a Mobius Strip. Some call it the Quantum Muse because no one wants to be tormented by a confident demon that shows you intricate patterns indicating a simulation. Researchers are now assessing biological systems capable of influencing ‘quantum state collapse' phenomena in the human brain, believed to possess biological systems capable of harnessing information gleaned from beyond the space-time continuum. This means that we resonate with all things around us - perhaps astrologers and magicians are right about how we are capable of accessing the cosmic passwords. Literally, the keys to the kingdom.

Most of us have a daily plan that includes a routine of productive habits. Sometimes the plan happens. And you have a few days, maybe even a week of things running smoothly. Then there is an interruption. And all of the sudden days have gone by and your plan hasn't happened at all. At the top of this list is often our habits regarding eating and exercise. In all our areas of life where we seek to develop good habits and get better results, there is new information that the areas of diet and exercise don't work like the others and are the areas we most fail, because, life happens. This new information is brought to us by Dr Michelle Segar who sat down with a couple of years ago. Michelle takes our cultural concept of habits to task. We're going to talk about her groundbreaking, decision-making framework—and the science behind it—to give hope to the millions of what she calls, “unhabiters,” who are frustrated with their failure to keep up all the good habits they intend to engage with, and discuss a behavior-change solution designed for them. We are enamored with creating habits in our lives that will give us the success we want, but what you're about to find out is the normal framework and perspective of habits we have doesn't work for…a lot of us. But there is a solution that will, and it's why I have Michelle on the show. Michelle is an award-winning, National Institute of Health funded sustainable behavior change researcher at the University of Michigan and a lifestyle coach. For nearly three decades, she has pioneered methods to create sustainable healthy behavior changes that are being used to boost patient health, employee well-being, and even gym membership retention. I'm pulling info from her book, The Joy Choice: How To Finally Achieve Lasting Changes In Eating and Exercise.

Acting out dreams during sleep is an early warning sign of Parkinson's or dementia with Lewy bodies, offering a window for early detection and prevention Advanced MRI scans now reveal that your brain's waste-clearing system slows down years before symptoms like tremors, stiffness, or memory loss appear One study found that people with impaired brain waste clearance were more likely to develop Parkinson's, while another discovered that excess fluid between brain cells predicted future dementia These findings show that subtle changes in brain fluid balance — not just loss of dopamine or brain shrinkage — predict who develops neurodegenerative disease and how fast it progresses Supporting your brain's "cleaning system" through deep sleep, regular movement, hydration, and toxin avoidance helps protect memory, balance, and mental clarity for life

DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠Lucid dreaming is an interesting ego state when we are dreaming and regain full self-awareness. Being awake in the dream world can be useful, but imposing a rigid agenda can undermine the Dream Maker's attempts to educate and help us. Each dream is crafted to incrementally expand our awareness and acceptance of unconscious factors we need in order to grow. When we wake inside a dream, we can lose track of that important attitude and may use the dream as our playground—most people try to fly and miss significant opportunities. If we can achieve a non-grasping clarity, lucidity can deepen our inner work by enabling us to engage dream figures with the full measure of our curiosity. Researchers have various suggestions for increasing the frequency of Lucid Dreams, and ancient traditions like Dream Yoga help the aspirant learn about their mental structures. Attaining access to the inner worlds is similar to Jung's Active Imagination and can yield comparable or even better results. This is possible if we adopt a proper dream ethic: respect the dream as an autonomous process and use lucidity to inquire and relate, not to dominate.Read along with the dream HERE.Find the books we reference HERE.LOOK & GROW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have a topic you want us to cover?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is like the monster lurking under your bed. It’s four million times the mass of the Sun, and about 15 million miles across – just waiting to gobble up anything that gets too close. But compared to the black holes in many other galaxies, the one in the Milky Way is less like a monster and more like a dust bunny. The largest ones yet seen are thousands of times bigger. They’re known as ultra-massive black holes. Informally, they’re also called SLABs – stupendously large black holes. Just which one is the biggest is uncertain – it’s hard to measure the mass of something that might be billions of light-years away. A recent candidate is in a structure known as the Cosmic Horseshoe. The gravity of a stupendously large galaxy “warps” the view of a galaxy behind it, creating what looks like a big, blue horseshoe. In a recent study, astronomers combined a couple of techniques to measure the mass of the black hole in the foreground galaxy: 36 billion times the mass of the Sun. Researchers say the combo makes the measurement the most accurate for any candidate for the “biggest black hole” honors. But other black holes could be bigger. The biggest candidate is known as Phoenix A. It could be up to about 25 thousand times the mass of the Milky Way’s black hole. But that number is highly uncertain. So the search for the biggest black hole continues. Script by Damond Benningfield

A researcher working on the design AI-driven methods for secure and trustworthy drone operations will share his expertise at one of the South East Science Festival's most keenly anticipated free events. 'Drones in Everyday Life - Promise, Potential, and Protection' is the title of Walton Institute researcher Iftikhar Umrani's talk in Clonmel Library in Tipperary on Wednesday, November 12, at 6.45pm. Pre-registration is not required. Drones are transforming how we live and work, from helping farmers monitor crops and improve harvests to enabling doorstep delivery of packages and medicines, he said ahead of the much-anticipated talk. "As these intelligent flying systems take on bigger roles in daily life, the UAVSec project at Walton Institute, SETU, funded by CONNECT Research Ireland Centre, investigates how to keep them secure ensuring they cannot be hacked or disrupted while in flight. The aim is to build trust in drone technology so it can serve communities with confidence and security. "Drones are opening new opportunities in areas such as precision farming, environmental monitoring, search and rescue, and the fast delivery of essential goods. They help reduce costs, save time, and support communities particularly in rural or hard-to-reach areas. "As drones become more autonomous, ensuring their safety, privacy, and security is essential. Public acceptance and regulatory frameworks also remain important challenges. Research under the UAVSec project focuses on protecting these systems from interference and building public trust in their use," the PhD researcher in the Department of Computing and Mathematics at Walton Institute, South East Technological University said. Iftikhar Umrani has been with Walton since March 2023, lives in Waterford City and has a keen interest in how emerging technologies can serve local communities safely and responsibly. The much-anticipated event is one of dozens on the South East Science Festival programme for 2025 from November 8 to 16 across pubs, restaurants, libraries, theatres, schools and community hubs in Waterford city and county, Clonmel and Carlow. All of the events across all three counties are designed to showcase how relevant all things science are in our everyday lives. Dr Sheila Donegan, Director of CALMAST, the South East Technological University's STEM engagement centre, said. "We're really looking forward to engaging with all sections of the community, from primary school children right up to adult-only audiences for this year's South East Science Festival programme. It's fun, it's engaging, it's entertaining and educational. We're delighted to work with Research Ireland and with our partners and sponsors, key among them the local authorities, SETU, key STEM employers in the region. "We now invite members of the public to peruse the schedule of events running across libraries, theatres, pubs, educational hubs, museums and so much more and to book their place. We will mix comedy and science and will be looking at why copper was mined in Waterford and if it could be again. We're examining fossils in the city, will host a coastal change workshop and walk and much more. Many events booked out within hours last year and we expect the very same for 2025," Dr Donegan said.

Chinese astronauts aboard the China Space Station have enjoyed hot, flavorful chicken wings! This well-seasoned, aromatic space barbecue was made possible by new equipment added to the orbital kitchen for the Shenzhou-21 mission—a Hot Air Baking Oven. The oven features built-in air purification, with both its filtration system and the entire unit having undergone rigorous testing to meet space station entry requirements. Through temperature control and filtration technologies, it achieves smokeless and fume-free baking in orbit, complying with the station's strict emissions standards.中国航天员在中国空间站吃上了热乎乎、香喷喷的烤翅！色香味俱全的烧烤，离不开神舟二十一号任务为太空厨房添加的新装备——热风烘烤机。热风烘烤机内建净化功能，其净化装置和整机都进行过严格测试，可以满足空间站准入条件，通过温控、过滤等技术攻关实现在轨烘烤时的无油烟处理，满足空间站的油烟排放标准。Researchers equipped this "space oven" with a residue collector, heating mesh, baking tray, and mesh cage to prevent food from floating in microgravity. They also increased the maximum heating temperature from the previous 100°C to 190°C.科研人员给“太空炉子”配备了残渣收集器、加热网、烤盘和网笼，解决了食物在轨漂浮的问题，并把加热温度从过去的100度提高到190度。The Shenzhou-21 crew was supplied with ingredients including chicken wings, steak, corn, and cake. Astronauts can prepare full meals in just tens of minutes using pre-set programs or manual controls on the baking oven.科研人员还为神舟二十一号乘组准备了鸡翅、牛排、玉米和蛋糕等食物，航天员可以通过提前设置好的程序或者直接在热风烘烤机上操作几十分钟，就能做出一顿美味大餐。Earlier today, the Shenzhou-20 and Shenzhou-21 crews completed their in-orbit handover. The Shenzhou-20 astronauts are scheduled to return to the Dongfeng landing site aboard their spacecraft tomorrow (May 5). Awaiting their triumphant homecoming!今天神舟二十号和神舟二十一号航天员乘组已完成在轨交接，神舟二十号航天员乘组将于明天（5日）乘坐神舟二十号载人飞船返回东风着陆场，期待凯旋！Aboard China's space station, the hot air oven delivered by the Shenzhou XXI spacecraft has begun baking, as aviral video showed astronauts savoring freshly cooked chicken wings and steaks for the first time.在中国空间站，由神舟二十一号飞船运送的热风烘烤机已投入使用。一段广泛传播的视频显示，航天员们首次享用了现场烤制的鸡翅和牛排。In the video beamed down from the space station, Shenzhou XXI crew member and space engineer Wu Fei is seen taking marinated chicken wings from a package, placing them on a skewer rack, and sliding them into the oven, which, after about 28 minutes, produced a plate ofsizzling, space-made New Orleans chicken wings.从空间站传回的视频中，神舟二十一号乘组航天员、航天工程师吴飞取出包装好的腌制鸡翅，放置在烤叉架上，随后送入烘烤机。大约28分钟后，一盘滋滋作响、“太空出品”的新奥尔良风味鸡翅便制作完成。Wang Jie from the Shenzhou XX crew and Wu Fei, both hailing from North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region -- renowned for its high-quality beef and mutton -- also baked a plate of black pepper steaks. The chicken wings and steaks were soon shared among the six astronauts, with their faces beaming with delight.来自神舟二十号乘组的王杰和武飞均来自以优质牛羊肉闻名的中国北方内蒙古自治区，他们还共同烤制了一盘黑胡椒牛排。烤翅和牛排很快在六名航天员间分享，他们脸上都洋溢着愉悦的笑容。The Shenzhou XXI spaceship was launched on late Friday and its three crew members entered the space station hours later. They have spent several days living and working alongside the Shenzhou XX crew, who are scheduled to return to Earth on Nov 5.神舟二十一号飞船于10月25日晚发射升空，三名航天员于数小时后进入空间站。他们已与神舟二十号乘组共同在轨生活工作数日，后者计划于11月5日返回地球。The space oven has been significantly upgraded compared with conventional ovens on Earth. According to Liu Wei bo from the China Astronaut Research and Training Center, the improvements include technologies for precise temperature control, residue collection, high-temperature catalysis, and multi-layer filtration, enabling smoke-free baking in orbit while meeting the space station's oil fume emission standards.这款太空烤炉相较地面常规烤箱实现了显著升级。据中国航天员科研训练中心的刘伟波介绍，改进包括精准温控、残渣收集、高温催化及多层过滤等技术，从而实现了在轨无烟烘烤，并满足空间站严格的油烟排放标准。The oven and its purification system also underwent rigorous testing to ensure they meet the space station'saccess conditions and can operate continuously and reliably for up to 500 cycles.烘烤机及其净化系统均经历了严格测试，以确保满足空间站准入条件，并能持续可靠运行高达500次。Using the oven to prepare food marks the latest advancement in thelife support system of China's space station. According to the center, the Shenzhou XXI mission has expanded the food variety to over 190 items and extended the menu cycle to 10 days, allowing astronauts to cook and bake ingredients such as fresh vegetables, nuts, cakes and meat while in orbit.使用烤炉制备食品标志着中国空间站生命保障系统取得最新进展。据中国航天员科研训练中心介绍，神舟二十一号任务将太空食品种类扩展至190余种，并将食谱周期延长至10天，使航天员能在轨烹饪包括新鲜蔬菜、坚果、蛋糕和肉类在内的食材。Liu said that after spending several months in the relatively confined space of the station, being able to enjoy aromatic chicken wings and steaks, or freshly baked peanuts and bread prepared by themselves, would surely bring the astronauts a sense of happiness.刘伟波表示，在空间站相对密闭的环境中驻留数月后，能享用到香喷喷的鸡翅、牛排，或自己烤制的花生和面包，必将为航天员带来幸福感。Since China's manned space program entered the phase of space station application and development, ground researchers have continuously improved the variety, texture, flavor, appearance andnutritional value of space food through technological innovation and process enhancements, better meeting the dietary needs of astronauts.自中国载人航天工程进入空间站应用与发展阶段以来，地面研究人员通过技术创新和工艺改进，持续提升太空食品的种类、口感、风味、外观及营养价值，更好地满足了航天员的膳食需求。In addition, new progress has been made in the space station's vegetable garden. Since the Shenzhou XVI mission, the center has carried out research and verification on in-orbit plant substrate cultivation. By using regenerative substrate, long-term controlled-release fertilizer and microporous water conduction technology, the garden has achieved effective supply of water and nutrients under microgravity conditions.此外，空间站“菜园”也取得了新进展。 自神舟十六号任务起，中国航天员科研训练中心开展了在轨植物基质栽培研究验证。通过使用可再生基质、长效控释肥和微孔导水技术，“菜园”在微重力条件下实现了水分和养分的有效供给。So far, 10 batches of seven plant species, including lettuce, cherry tomatoes and sweet potatoes, have been cultivated, providing astronauts with 4.5 kg of fresh fruits and vegetables. Among them, lettuce and cherry tomatoes have achieved a full-cycle cultivation from seed to seed.截至目前，已成功培育出生菜、樱桃番茄、红薯等7类植物共10批次，为航天员提供了4.5公斤新鲜果蔬。其中，生菜和樱桃番茄已实现了从种子到种子的全周期培养。"We prepared feasts for the astronauts for traditional Chinese festivals such as Spring Festival, and there are even gift packages that can only be opened on the day of the festival," said Zang Peng from the center.该中心的臧鹏表示：“我们为航天员准备了春节等中国传统节日的节令膳食，还有只能在节日当天打开的'节日盲盒。”a viral video广泛传播的视频sizzling/ˈsɪz.əl.ɪŋ/adj.滋滋作响的access conditions准入条件life support system生命保障系统nutritional value营养价值

What happens if you cross ChatGPT with a Roomba vacuum? Turns out it spins into a comedic doom spiral and then rhymes to the lyrics to musicals. Researchers at a startup in San Francisco recently did an experiment where they gave a simple task to robots powered by large language models, known as LLM's, like ChatGPT. And let's just say things did not go well. Julie Bort, an editor for the tech publication TechCrunch covered this experiment and explains what went wrong, and what this says about the future of AI powered robots.

Half a billion dollars of investments, from KiwiSaver and other funds out of New Zealand, are going into Government bonds of countries with poor human rights records. That is according to a new report published by Motu Research this morning. Researchers there used the Human Rights Measurement Initiative, which ranks countries based on economic, civil and political rights residents have and portfolio data from KiwiSaver and other retail funds - to identify how much money New Zealanders were investing in sovereign bonds of so-called 'high alert' countries. These countries include China, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar because of their low scores in safety from the state, civic freedoms and rights to things like education, food, health and housing. Lead author and economist at Motu Research Anne-Marie Brook says ethical investing has typically had minimal human rights data and this is the first comprehensive look at how much New Zealand investment is going into sovereign bonds of countries with dubious human rights' records.

States With Substantial Increases In Buprenorphine Uptake Did So With Increased Medicaid Prescribing, 2018–24 Health Affairs Multiple federal policy changes since 2018 intended to increase buprenorphine prescribing in response to a persistent treatment gap for opioid use disorder (OUD) in the US. Anticipated national increases did not occur, but highly variable state-level trends provide important insights. This study used IQVIA data to examine all-payer and per payer prescribing across states during the period 2018–24.  Researchers found that highly disparate state-level changes suggest that federal policy impacts were mediated by state-specific factors. Medicaid's key role in driving overall prescribing highlights the public health urgency of maintaining expansions and sustaining enrollment for the single adult population.    Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

For three decades, conservatives abandoned science policy. Now they have a chance to rebuild it.That rebuilding effort comes with political challenges. Republicans' trust in science dropped thirty points over those decades. DOGE recently  slashed budgets at the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health. And HHS Sec RFK jr. is casting doubt on the efficacy of vaccines to the alarm of many Republicans in Congress. But beyond the politics, American science is also facing a competitive threat from China. The Middle Kingdom invests tens of billions in biotech and quantum computing, and outpaces the U.S. in PhD STEM grads.Meanwhile, American research became a system that rewards process over results. Researchers spend 42% of their time on paperwork. Only 46% of cancer studies could be replicated. And our guest today argues that perverse incentives and bureaucracy led to decades wasted on Alzheimer's research that turned out to be fraudulent—among other misfires.Ian Banks is Director of Science Policy at the Foundation for American Innovation, which recently established the science program he leads at the organization. He and Evan discuss his vision for a renewed conservative approach to science—one that learns from diversified investment portfolios that maintain safe bets while also making room for moonshots. They get into the political challenges created by hot button issues like climate change and COVID response, how to properly fund science in the era of DOGE, and what the proper role for politics in science should be.Previously, Banks served in research roles at the Conservative Coalition for Climate Solutions, the American Enterprise Institute and as a legislative aide to Rep. Bill Posey, where he focused on science, energy, and health policy. His Oxford master's thesis examined the replication crisis, and he brings firsthand experience navigating these questions during COVID from his time working on the Hill.

Researchers from Trinity and the ADAPT Research Ireland Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology are leading a newly funded project to transform how AI is integrated into mobile and wireless communication systems. The NAIRA project (Native AI for Energy Efficient and Sustainable Radio Access Networks) is a pioneering initiative that envisions a new generation of intelligent, energy-aware networks capable of learning, adapting, and optimising themselves in real time. At its core, NAIRA seeks to embed AI natively within the very architecture of the Radio Access Network (RAN), moving beyond traditional approaches where AI operates as an external optimisation tool. This shift introduces Agentic AI, a new class of autonomous, goal-driven agents that can make local and collective decisions across the network. By doing so, NAIRA will enable networks that can autonomously reconfigure and optimise, while dynamically balancing energy efficiency, service quality, and operational cost. The three-year project, funded for €2.5 million via Call 7 of the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF), will be coordinated by Prof. Marco Ruffini from Trinity's School of Computer Science and Statistics and ADAPT, and his co-PI, Dr Merim Dzaferagic. Industry partners include Dell Technologies, Red Hat Ltd., Intel Research and Development Ireland Ltd., Software Research Systems Ltd., and Tyndall National Institute. Prof. Marco Ruffini said: "NAIRA responds to the rapidly growing energy consumption of communication infrastructures, which is one of the most pressing global challenges - both from a logistical and sustainability perspective." "As data traffic continues to rise and connectivity becomes ubiquitous, mobile networks have emerged as a major source of energy demand within the ICT sector. NAIRA will address this issue by combining the latest innovations in AI, distributed intelligence, and Open RAN architectures to deliver a sustainable, high-performance framework for the networks of the future." Dr Merim Dzaferagic added: "By enabling intelligent collaboration among network components and continuous learning at the edge, NAIRA will demonstrate how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to drastically reduce energy use without compromising connectivity or user experience." "Its outcomes will contribute directly to Europe's green and digital transitions, setting the stage for AI-native 6G systems that are both sustainable and self-evolving." NAIRA was announced last week, along with another five newly funded DTIF projects, by Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, and James Lawless, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. Jenny Melia, CEO, Enterprise Ireland, said: "The latest tranche of DTIF funding is an important solution for Enterprise Ireland clients in supporting them to transform and underpin their ability to scale, extend their global reach and create high-quality jobs. It is exciting to see high-potential start-ups (HPSUs) leading the development of disruptive technologies in areas such as transport logistics and quantum computing, and collaborating with established multinational companies and research institutions."

Researchers are documenting more and longer-lasting wildfires in northern Alaska and Canada. In fact, the increase of wildfires is a trend across the Arctic, as far as Norway and Siberia, driven by higher temperatures and dryer conditions. The trend has immediate threats to people's homes and health. Some tribes in Alaska and Canada also worry about the possibility of a long-term cataclysmic cycle of fires burning through vast stores of peat, producing uncountable amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. We'll get a look at the latest research and learn what concerned Alaska Native tribes and other Indigenous stakeholders are doing to prepare. GUESTS Edward Alexander (Gwich'in), co-chair for Gwich'in Council International and senior Arctic Lead Woodwell Climate Research Center Dr. Amy Cardinal Christianson (Métis), senior fire advisor for the Indigenous Leadership Initiative and board member of the International Association of Wildland Fire Malinda Chase (Deg Hit'an), tribal liaison for the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center under the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the land manager for her village Anvik

What if the wisdom you seek exists outside the limits of your own mind? What if communication with non-physical entities is not just lore, but a fundamental human capacity now being rigorously tested by science?Welcome to Beyond the Veil, the podcast that dives deep into the most enduring mysteries of consciousness: channeling and mediumship.Channeling, broadly defined, is the communication of information to or through a physically embodied human being, from a source that is said to exist on some other level or dimension of reality than the physical as we know it, and that is not from the normal mind (or self) of the channel. This capacity stretches back thousands of years to the practices of shamans in aboriginal cultures and includes figures identified as channels such as Moses, Muhammad, Merlin, Nostradamus, and Emanuel Swedenborg. Even the roots of all the world's great religions contain channeling phenomena.Today, the scientific community is taking up the challenge using rigorous controlled methods. Researchers employ proxy sitters and apply stringent blinding protocols—including double, triple, and even quintuple-blind conditions—to eliminate all conventional explanations, such as rater bias, fraud, or cold reading, when evaluating anomalous information.The findings are compelling. Controlled studies using blinded evaluations have demonstrated statistically significant results indicating Anomalous Information Reception (AIR). In one study focusing on readings provided by mediums, the results were highly significant, yielding a z score of -3.89 (p < 0.0001).However, the question of how this anomalous information is received remains fiercely debated. Is accurate knowledge proof of the survival of consciousness—meaning the personality of the deceased persists beyond death? Or is it evidence for Super-Psi, suggesting the medium is tapping into a non-local psychic reservoir, a universal mind or group consciousness? Since the theoretical limits of living psychic ability are currently unknown, distinguishing between survival and Super-Psi is incredibly difficult. Adding to the complexity are the physiological realities. Research comparing trance and non-trance states generally finds no substantive differences in EEG, ECG, or galvanic skin response (GSR). However, voice analysis reveals marked changes, including significantly slower speech pace and lower valence (a measure of positive vs. negative attitude) during the channeling state. Psychologically, channelers often score higher on paranormal belief and experience and sensitivity, yet their scores for dissociative or psychotic symptoms remain below clinical cutoffs. The content of these communications, ranging from “ageless wisdom” and the “nature of reality” to specific suggestions for advancing channeling research, challenges our entire worldview. Join Beyond the Veil to explore the frontiers of human consciousness, examine the strict science used to validate these claims, and seek answers to the fundamental question: Is our mind merely a local phenomenon, or are we interdependent parts of an overall single Universal Mind?Listen now, and decide what truly lies beyond the veil.

Listen to today's podcast... Sometimes when we try to multi-task, we may actually freeze up, lock up, or quit performing at our peak. There is so much pressure to get things done in a day, that we try to split our focus and work on several things at once.  Researchers have studied human multi-tasking for the past 25 years or so and have found that the brain cannot fully focus when multi-tasking. We take longer to complete tasks, often double or more the time, and are predisposed to error.   Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here Are My Tips For Building Resilience and Celebrating ZeroTasking Day: Today is the day to take it easy, give up multitasking, and try doing nothing. Not for the whole day. But try for an hour. And if that is too long, try 20 minutes. See how you feel and if being anxious was the only thing that you could focus on, know that being able to be still for a moment and quiet your mind and body takes practise. If you weren't successful, try again next weekend. Finally, let go of the idea that the more we tackle at any given time, the more productive we will be. Maintain your productivity by setting your priorities for a focused period of time and don't let distractions take you off course.  If you like today's wellness tips, let me know.

In this fascinating episode of Sasquatch Odyssey,  Brian welcomes Justin from Tennessee — Bigfoot researcher, conference speaker, and author of The Epic of Esau: The Birthright and Seed War — for an in-depth discussion on the connections between biblical history, ancient mythology, and modern Bigfoot encounters.Justin shares how his interest in Sasquatch began not in the woods, but in the Bible, where a passage referencing “hairy men” and “wild men of the wilderness” sparked his curiosity.That single verse led him on a journey through scripture, history, and legend, uncovering surprising links between the biblical Nephilim, Amalekites, and the mysterious beings we know today as Bigfoot. The conversation delves deep into Justin's research — from his experiences at the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Conference to his comparative studies of ancient texts, apocryphal writings, and cross-cultural myths that describe giant or hairy beings with supernatural qualities. Together, Brian and Justin discuss the scientific challenges of studying Bigfoot, the academic resistance to cryptid research, and the divide within the Bigfoot community between those who see Sasquatch as purely physical versus those who believe it may also have spiritual or interdimensional aspects.Justin also discusses his book, The Epic of Esau, which combines biblical interpretation, mythological analysis, and anthropological theory to present a unique framework for understanding Bigfoot's origins — one that could bridge faith, science, and folklore.This episode is a must-listen for anyone intrigued by the possibility that ancient texts and sacred stories may hold forgotten truths about the Sasquatch phenomenon. Whether you lean toward science, spirituality, or both, this thought-provoking discussion will challenge what you thought you knew about Bigfoot — and human history itself. Get Justin's BookGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into groundbreaking discoveries that could reshape our understanding of life on Mars and the cosmos beyond.Martian Ice: A Potential Reservoir for LifeA recent study suggests that Martian ice may be the most promising location to search for signs of ancient microbial life. Researchers found that biomolecules from dormant microbes degrade significantly slower in pure water ice compared to Martian soil mixtures. This discovery, published in the journal Astrobiology, raises hopes that future missions to Mars could uncover preserved organic materials in its icy regions, potentially revealing the planet's biological history.A Mysterious Dark Object in the UniverseAstronomers have identified the lowest mass dark object ever detected, with a mass about a million times that of our Sun. This enigmatic object, reported in Nature Astronomy, may offer insights into the nature of dark matter, which constitutes a significant portion of the universe's mass. The object was detected through gravitational lensing, and its small size challenges existing theories about dark matter's composition and distribution.NASA's Call for Lunar Mission BidsNASA is seeking new bids for its Artemis Moon program, aiming to foster competition among American companies to return humans to the lunar surface.

Dr. Arun Sharma Monday 10-27-25 Space ShowQuick Summary:Our program focused on the establishment and operations of Cedars-Sinai's new Space Medicine Research Center, including its research programs, educational components, and institutional support. Arun discussed their stem cell research initiatives, particularly the creation of 3D heart tissue organoids grown in microgravity on the ISS, and explained their approach to training astronauts and conducting space-based medical research. The conversation covered the potential of AI and telemedicine in space missions, regulatory challenges in stem cell research, and the future opportunities presented by commercial space stations for conducting biomedical research. David and Arun were joined by participant Dr. Sherry Bell.Detailed Summary:David and Dr. Sherry Bell discussed the establishment of the Center for Space Medicine Research at Cedars-Sinai, led by Arun. Arun confirmed the center's functionality and its institutional support, emphasizing its research and educational components. After Arun was welcomed back to The Space Show to discuss Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's new Space Medicine Research Center. Arun explained that the center, established about a year ago, builds on their 10 years of work in stem cell and biomanufacturing research, including 8 missions to the ISS. He noted that the center has both research and educational components, offering courses in space medicine and biosciences as part of their master's and PhD programs. Arun emphasized their institutional support and goal to become an academic partner for the growing private space industry in Los Angeles.Arun discussed Cedars' expansion beyond cardiovascular focus to broader biomanufacturing and space research, with plans to establish a clinical arm leveraging their hospital's expertise. He mentioned ongoing conversations with local space industry players in LA, though details are not yet public. Arun also outlined their vision for a comprehensive space medicine program, including pre-flight workups, in-flight diagnostics, and post-flight checkups, while acknowledging the need for space medical training for their network of providers.Arun further discussed his research on 3D heart tissue, or cardiac organoids, created from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). He explained that these tissues are grown in microgravity on the ISS, as microgravity may improve their growth compared to simulated microgravity on Earth. Arun clarified that the iPSCs and necessary chemicals were launched on SpaceX 33 in August and are now orbiting Earth. David inquired about astronaut training, and Arun explained that they work with engineers and partners like BioServe Space Technologies to train astronauts, as most are not life scientists. Arun expressed a desire for more direct communication with astronauts in the future.The discussion then focused on stem cell research and space medicine training. Arun explained that stem cells are sourced from de-identified donor samples at Cedars-Sinai, with consent for medical research use. The long-term goal is to create patient-specific bioengineered organs, starting with heart tissues, though this remains an area of ongoing research. Arun clarified that the initial training program will focus on biosciences for research scientists, with plans to expand to clinical training in the future.Arun did talk about the potential of AI and telemedicine in supporting deep space missions, emphasizing the value of human-focused research over animal studies. He clarified that his lab uses patient-specific stem cell models, focusing on human biology, and does not work with embryonic stem cells. Arun also addressed the cost and funding challenges of conducting research in space, mentioning partnerships with government agencies and the need to explore alternative funding sources for future collaborations. David inquired about simulating microgravity studies, to which Arun explained that while some ground-based simulations exist, they do not perfectly replicate the conditions of true space microgravity.Arun explained that the stem cell research at Cedars Space Lab involves creating three-dimensional organoids to study human biology and potentially identify new drugs, but emphasized that these cells cannot be transplanted back into people due to ethical and regulatory constraints. He clarified that the research is outcome-oriented, focusing on whether stem cells can be improved in space, with the goal of creating better models for understanding heart development and drug efficacy. David raised concerns about potential regulatory differences between countries, particularly regarding stem cell research, and Arun acknowledged that while the US has strict guidelines, some international research may go unpublished, making it difficult to track all ongoing work in this field.Arun discussed his work as a stem cell biologist and highlighted the potential of space biology research, mentioning a recent publication by UC San Diego on growing cancer cells in space. He expressed concerns about the transition from the ISS to commercial space stations, acknowledging the ISS's valuable contributions to research but seeing an opportunity for the commercial industry to fill the gap. Arun also considered the possibility of conducting research on a commercial space station, emphasizing the potential for more biomedical researchers in space and the possibility of accelerated training in a private space capacity. He expressed interest in the idea of conducting his own research on a private space station, such as SpaceX's Starship, and noted the importance of access and opportunities for further research.Arun discussed the differences between microgravity and partial gravity environments in space, highlighting the potential for developing unique therapeutic options that may only be applicable in space. He explained that while some treatments could be brought back to Earth, others might require patients to travel to space for treatment. Arun also touched on the current state of stem cell research, including clinical trials for various applications, and expressed optimism about future advancements in bioprinting and organoid manufacturing in space. He emphasized the importance of personalized medicine using patient-specific stem cells and encouraged continued interest in both stem cell and space biology research.Be sure to see the video of this program at doctorspace.substack.com.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Episode 329 America's health data system is in crisis. The US government has been bleeding public health experts – many of whom run crucial public health surveys and databases which help identify, monitor and respond to health threats across the country. From drug use to food security and birth data, discover the 5 surveys most critically hit by the axing of over 20,000 jobs. If nothing is done to address this, vital health information will be missed and the results could be catastrophic. Do you find it difficult to concentrate after a bad night's sleep? This might be really common, but scientists are still trying to figure out why it happens. A new finding suggests it might have something to do with the brain's “rinse cycle” – a process where your brain washes away metabolic waste and toxic proteins. Although this usually happens while you sleep, researchers have discovered it may continue in the day if you're sleep deprived. Life might exist on Mars right now, thanks to a network of liquid water on the Red Planet. Researchers examining Mars' soil say there's a good chance tiny veins of liquid water are hiding under the Martian permafrost and that they could support microbial life. This finding has scientists excited, with one suggesting “it's not impossible that life could exist in the Martian near surface.” Chapters: (00:00) Intro (01:00) The collapse of America's health data system (08:00) How sleep affects your focus (16:40) Best place to search for life on Mars Hosted by Penny Sarchet and Timothy Revell, with guests Grace Wade, Carissa Wong and Leah Crane.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The government shutdown is entering entered its 30th day with no end in sight.  A 13th effort to end the shutdown impasse failed in the Senate and there are no plans to vote on the measure today.  The Trump administration says that the military will be paid, but thousands of air traffic controllers have missed their first full paycheck.    Two ---  The Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates for a second straight meeting.  The Fed lowered interest rates by a quarter percentage point today.  The benchmark rate is now in a range of three-point-75-percent to four-percent.   And number three ---    A new study is suggesting women may need less exercise than men to have a healthy heart.  Researchers in the UK found women who got around four hours of moderate exercise each week lowered their risk of heart disease by about 30 percent.  It found men, however, needed about eight hours of exercise per week to achieve the same level of heart health.

(00:00:00) Lunar Relics and Interstellar Insights: Discoveries from the Moon and Comet 3I ATLAS (00:00:46) Relics of the outer solar system discovered on the Moon (00:03:30) Insights from interstellar comet 3I ATLAS (00:07:31) SpaceX's Starship Mega rocket test flight (00:23:54) The Science report (00:31:46) Episode Wrap In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore remarkable discoveries that provide new insights into our solar system and beyond.Relics of the Outer Solar System Found on the MoonA groundbreaking study reveals that meteorites found on the Moon originated from the outer solar system. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified olivine-bearing clasts from lunar regolith collected by the Chang'e 6 mission. These relics, believed to be carbonaceous chondrites, offer critical information about the formation and evolution of planets. The findings suggest that the Moon serves as a pristine archive for meteorites, with implications for understanding the origins of lunar water and organic materials.Interstellar Comet 3I ATLAS: Insights into Alien Solar SystemsThe interstellar comet 3I ATLAS is revealing fascinating details about the composition of other solar systems. New observations indicate that 3I ATLAS has been active longer than expected, releasing various molecules as it travels through our solar system. This segment discusses how the comet's behavior challenges existing assumptions about comet activity and provides clues about the materials present in distant star systems.SpaceX's Starship Mega Rocket Test FlightSpaceX has successfully completed its 11th test flight of the Starship Mega rocket, demonstrating significant advancements in its design and capabilities. The mission involved various maneuvers, including hot staging and payload deployment, as well as tests of the spacecraft's reentry and landing procedures. This episode highlights the importance of these tests for future missions to the Moon and Mars, as SpaceX continues to refine the Starship for interplanetary travel.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesProceedings of the National Academy of Scienceshttps://www.pnas.org/Astrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Relics of the Outer Solar System Found on the MoonInterstellar Comet 3I ATLAS: Insights into Alien Solar SystemsSpaceX's Starship Mega Rocket Test Flight

Today we welcome on Fisheries Research Scientist at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Colin Dassow! We chat with Colin about three separate research projects he's been apart of recently, that take a critical look at the common characteristics of lakes with trophy bass potential, a shocking hook avoidance study, and the tendencies and co-mingling of pike and musky.

In this solo episode, I explore The Progress Principle, a concept discovered by two Harvard researchers who studied what really drives happiness and motivation. After analyzing thousands of daily journal entries, they found that the single biggest factor that keeps people inspired isn't recognition, money, or praise—it's the feeling of making progress.  In this episode, I share how the tiniest forward motion sends a signal to the brain that says, “This feels good, do it again.” This isn't just a nice mindset trick— it's a complete rewiring of your brain's reward system. Our brains are generally wired to miss our own progress. We adapt so quickly to improvements that yesterday's dream becomes today's baseline. We also have a negativity bias; our minds cling to what's not working instead of what is. The result? We feel stuck, unmotivated, or like we're not doing enough, even when we're growing in extraordinary ways. I share exactly how to override that mental wiring with simple, science-backed tools so you can stay consistent and actually achieve your goals.  What You'll Learn: Why dopamine isn't about reward-it's about momentum. The “Done List” method that helps you reflect on and record your daily micro wins. How celebration strengthens new habits by pairing progress with positive emotion. Why asking someone else to reflect on your growth can transform your self-perception. How to reframe the “arrival fallacy” so you find joy in the journey, not just the finish line. I'll also walk you through my own story! How a conversation with my therapist sister changed how I think about effort and self-worth, and how acknowledging my small wins made me feel more capable, calm, and genuinely proud of my progress for the first time in years. If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels, constantly setting goals and falling off track, or measuring yourself against an impossible version of success, this episode is for you.  ✨ Homework: Pause for a moment today and write down three small things you've accomplished…no matter how ordinary they seem. Maybe you sent an email you've been avoiding, made a healthy meal, or got out of bed on a hard morning. That's progress. That's growth. That's the chemistry of momentum in real time.

Beyond visible weight gain, hidden fat can build up in organs and muscles, quietly influencing long-term health A recent study published in the European Heart Journal found that where fat collects in your body is closely tied to how quickly your cardiovascular system ages The study showed that visceral fat, liver fat, and fat infiltrating muscles were strongly linked with premature cardiovascular aging Researchers also uncovered gender-specific patterns. Men tended to accumulate more visceral and abdominal fat, while women carried more subcutaneous and thigh fat To protect your heart, shift from focusing only on weight loss to improving metabolic health. Check your metabolic markers, eat the right carbs, cut seed oils, and build strength through daily movement

There's no doubt now: introducing a small amount of peanuts to your child as early as 4 months old, reduces their chance of developing a peanut allergy! Researchers believe by making that change in recommendations, 40,000 kids didn’t develop the peanut allergy they might have, and they believe if more parents follow guidelines, more lives can be saved and improved.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
