Richard Dolan, author of “UFOs and the National Security State,” click here writes:

“We walk as a civilization over a tightrope, high above a rocky ravine. Falling is a real possibility within the next twenty years. If not, a wild ride could await us on the other side. This isn?t the first time humanity has flirted with the prospect of social collapse, mass death, or even extinction. Like the rest of the animal kingdom, we hominids have courted and faced disaster throughout our existence. Periodically we have increased our numbers, and periodically we have died off.”

Oil companies can wave goodbye to their profits: Researchers in the U.K. have built a battery that runs on garbage that can provide electricity for your home. And in France, they’ve developed a car that runs on air. Right now, the fuel cell runs on sugar cubes, since they produce no waste when broken down, but researchers want to run it on carrot power next.

E. coli bacteria (the same kind that gives you a stomach ache) live inside the battery and produce enzymes that break down carbohydrates, releasing hydrogen atoms. The cell also contains chemicals that use these atoms to create voltage that can be used to power an electrical circuit. One cell can light a 40-watt bulb for eight hours on just a few teaspoons of sugar.

For researcher Robert McGivern, this explains why teenagers find life so tough. Studies show that puberty causes sudden increases in the connectivity of nerves in parts of the brain, especially in the prefrontal cortex. “This plays an important role in the assessment of social relationships, as well as planning and control of our social behavior,” says McGivern.
