Superficially, this nighttime video looks like the typical blobs of light, but the father and son who took it observed it for fifteen minutes, and while the lights maneuvered, they remained in relatively fixed positions in relation to each other. This would be impossible to achieve with drones at night They say that they are in Tarma. Tarma Province is about 150 miles from Lima. This is another example of a genuine unknown that will go completely unstudied in any way. If our visitors wanted to be ignored, Earth was the right destination!

A new concept of a brain-computer interface has been proposed by engineering researchers at University of California Berkeley, utilizing what they term as ‘neural-dust’, tiny machines that would be implanted in the brain to help facilitate the collection of neurological data.

The tiny components would be powered by piezoelectric materials, of which produce an electric current when compressed, activated by ultrasound waves generated by a transmitter placed on the scalp. The implanted components would have a simple CMOS sensor that would measure the electrical activity being generated by the neurons around it, and re-transmit that back to the sensors on the scalp.

Researchers have declared that the Earth is entering a mass extinction event, and that it is being caused by humans, but this is part of a much larger story.

A team at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment have published a study that says that we are entering a sixth great mass extinction event, where the current rate of species loss is over 100 times that of what would normally be seen. The study also says that this is what they consider to be a conservative estimate; that this rate the loss in biodiversity benefits to humans will be seen within three generations, and that 75 percent of Earth’s species could be lost within two generations.

Human brains will be directly connected to the internet by nanobot implants, making us into human-machine hybrids, within the next 15 years, according to Google’s head engineer.

Director of Engineering at Google, Ray Kurzweil, says that in the 2030’s, this nanobot interface would allow users faster access to information on the internet, and also allow information to be uploaded in the same manner as well, allowing us to back up our own brains.
