Some questions are so hard to answer that we have to really think about them (Anne Strieber reads her paper about this for subscribers this week). For instance, if time travel exists, why can’t we go back in time and kill our grandparents (which means we would never have been born)? The principle of least action means that could never happen, because nature always takes the simplest and shortest route to the solution of any problem, meaning that no effort toassassinate an ancestor can succeed if it would mean thatyou could not exist. Scientists think that this principle is what will protect us from dangerous repercussions from the CERN collider as well.

If their students are behaving badly, teachers should spray some air freshener into the classroom and that may solve the problem. If you work in an office, maybe you should secretly spray some in the boss’s office while he’s out to lunch. Why? Studies show that People are unconsciously fairer and more generous when they are in clean-smelling environments. The research found a dramatic improvement in ethical behavior with just a few spritzes of citrus-scented air freshener. It’s funny how the brain works, sometimes: almost anything is worth trying.

Sometimes bad things happen, but here’s something GOOD to know now that more of the Swine Flu vaccine is finally being released: A recent study published in a peer-reviewed journal found that 2 to 5 year old children diagnosed with autism or autism spectrum disorders had blood mercury levels similar to those oftypically developing control children after adjusting for a variety of sources. Thus mercury in the children’s blood did not appearto be the cause of autism.

At the Stargate Conference, Anne Strieber told how people who have had contact with seeming “aliens” usually describe their experiences in strange, almost surrealistic terms. This one of the things that separates real contact from created contact stories, but it is also one of the primary reasons that these people’s stories are doubted by skeptics. Now neurologists have uncovered a reason for this high strangeness: It may be preparing us to act for a more logical future (perhaps battles against things like global warming and nuclear arms, that could spell the end of our species). Subscribers can learn all about it this week!
