Homing Pigeons and Missing people.

Okay dudes, I have a theory (another one) which most likely will not work, but this site is dedicated to talking about 'out-there' theories so here we go...

If you live in England and have been watching the news as of late, you would have realised about the amount of people going missing recently. In fact the news is dedicated to people going missing which is really depressing, and whilst in my top set science class (like how I dropped 'top-set' in there?) my teacher and I lost a whole tray of test tubes, and I thought 'there should be something that can just find stuff for us' and then it hit me.....

 

Homing Pigeons!!!

Yes that's right homing Pigeons!

Homing Pigeons, for those who don't know, are selectively bred to find there way home over extremely long distances. They can find there way home from anywhere and how they can do this is because there beaks have iron particles in them and this acts as there 'magnet pointers' and they use the earths magnetic fields as to know which way is north, south etc.

So how the fuck would a Pigeon help us find missing people?

Well, if you remember in one of my previous posts about humans having there own bio-electric fields and that is how sharks hunt there prey by using there chosen preys magnetic field to detect where they are, why cant we expose the Homing Pigeons to the missing persons bio-electric field?

You see, a persons bio-electric/aura/ magnetic field what ever the fuck you want to call it, when the person interacts with an object such as clothing,jewelry or a book a sort of current is left on it from there bio-electric fields. So wouldn't the Pigeons, when exposed for long enough to the persons bio-electric field, be able to find there way to the person?

Its worth a shot right?

Of course I disclaim that this will actually work, its just something that I thought of, but I think someone should definately try this because it is just so crazy that it could work.

But as for the missing children that have been featuring in the news recently, I sincerly hope they are found by the hard-working police officers and there families.




 
 

IFA expo have a lot of Gadgets it's just no one can afford them

It can be suspected that this particular technology firm missed the news about there being a reccession as many of there new gadgets will most likely be left to gather dust on the shelves.

The annual IFA expo in Berlin is filled with the newest products - everything from the smartest mobile phones to the biggest TVs. Seriously if your a gadget guy you'd be in heaven! But some of this new technology is not only pointless but far too expensive. Take a look at this very fine specimen (I mean the Samsung Pavilion not the model with it.)

 

 

Something tells me I won't be needing this new technology anytime soon as I am very content with my mobile phone that look's like a brick but it definately is very impressive.

Worrying

Worrying because no one see's the point in themselves owning the latest and greatest gadgets and so firms that make new gadgets can never return there investments. Shows like the annual IFA used to direct the way the tech world would be in the months and years afterwards.

But with more people having money struggles it can be assumed that these companies will have to lower there prices of these new gadgets so that the majority can afford them and thus these companies can break even until the economy picks back up. Hopefully that will be soon which means good news for us and bad news for bankers!!!

 I can't wait to own whatever it is in the picture, finally I could impress all my other Nerd friends.

'Humans are top of the food chain'

No we're not -_-

And we never shall be (which is a very good thing because imagine the terrible things we'd do if we were!) So who is sitting on the top of the food chain? Sharks? Hippo's? Lions? There not even a blimp on the radar.

Microorganisms

Yes, something so tiny has the potential to wipe out all species on earth. Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi and parasites are like a double edged sword to us. They can cure us such as the Fungi Penicillium chrysogenum produces a byproduct of penicillin or they can kill us. Horribly.

So in no particular order we have 3 truly awful diseases ever known to the earth.

1. Mad Cow disease.

Poor Cow that was inflicted with mad cow disease

Mad cow disease's official name is Bovine Spongiform encephalopathy. It affects the brain and spinal cord and has a very long incubation period of 30 months to 8 years and can affect both Cattle and can affect humans in the slice of Beef they eat was from an infected cow. The cause of this disease is a little misfolded protein called the Prion protein.

 

When infected with this disease you experience depression, insomnia and anxiety and as it progresses you experience muscle spasms. You then lose muscle control and coordination, and may also face some problems involving vision and memory. Starting with  blurred vision, and then forgetting people and things that they do in their daily life. Dementia thus begins to spring it ugly head and all mental and physical functions will become weakened. During the final stages of the ailment, the patient may go into a coma which finally leads to death.

 

Bovine Spongiform encephalopathy became an epidemic in 2004 and really scared people. And rightly so because it turns your brain to mush! But this is what I think of of mad cow disease...

 

 

 

2. Rabies

 A poor man infected with Rabies in restraints

 

The Rabies Virus is a viral disease (obviously) that can be transmitted through blood and saliva. It is Zoonotic like mad cow disease (which means it can be passed from animal to humans) and is almost always fatal when not treated before symptoms occur. Which is what makes it so fucking hard to treat because nobody can know if they have it if they aren't showing symptoms yet.

The Rabies virus cannot survive in water and so infects the host with a paralysing fear of water and an inability to swallow. The first symptoms appear flu like with a raised temperature, sneezing and coughing. Soon after, the symptoms expand to slight or partial paralysis, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, agitation, abnormal behaviour, paranoia, terror, hallucinations, progressing to delirium within four days of initial symptoms occurring. People with the Rabies Virus can often walk around in circles without purpose and often become violent, which is why the man depicted above is in restraints.

 

Only one person has ever survived Rabies without the intervention of a vaccination beforehand. Many people say that if a zombie apocalyse were to ever occur (these people obviously live on the internet) the Rabies virus would be responsible.

 

This Racoons not looking so sweet now is he?

 

3. The Ebola Virus

 

 

The Ebola Virus is a truly terrible virus that makes HIV look like a common cold.

Ebola hemorrhagic fever is potentially lethal and encompasses a range of symptoms including fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, generalised pain or malaise, and sometimes internal and external bleeding. Mortality rates are generally very high, in the region of 80% – 90%, with the cause of death usually due to hypovolemic shock or organ failure.

 

You can obtain this virus from unsterilised needles, hospital contagion or person to person contact. Well actually you could get it from anywhere which is why it could easily become an epidemic.

 

 

 

So here is WhatTheJunk's 3 terrible diseases that make me want to sterilise everything I own and become a shut in. And now you probably do to.

 

 

 

 

 



Multi Universe theory

After explaining the theory of the Uncertainty Principle of the Schrodinger cat in the video it brought up one explanation of there being a 'multi universe'. Being interested in pseudoscience I have read up on the possibility of there being different universe's where the cat is alive in one and dead in the other. I don't know whether I believe in this or not alike to everything else but I can explain to you the whole 'different universe thing' and the basis that it has.

To understand this we must first understand what a universe is. So...

What is a universe?

'A Universe is a set of photons that interact together, and which do NOT interact, generally, with photons of other universes which have other characteristics. This might better be said to be the spason of the universe that interact determine the characteristics of the universe, but since they determine the properties of the photons. This then amounts to the same thing.'

I was actually pretty impressed with this definition, courtesy of http://www.nexialinstitute.com/mut.htm


Now if the String theory is correct the universe has 9 spatial dimension's and one temporal dimension that were all wound up, but the Big bang blew them the fuck apart and left the dimensions we know as height,width and depth and the one temporal dimension known as time to be deployed.

Now if we lived in a universe were all of these 9 spatial dimensions were twisted together like they had been, how would we distinguish between illusion and reality?

Time is something only us humans (and well everything else in our universe) experiences only going forward in a linear fashion. (Which is also why we don't remember the future we can only make an educated guess of it at best). But what would happen if one of these spatial dimension were not spatial but temporal? Like time. Would we be able to go back and forward as we please? I think so, but I could always be wrong. Would dissipation like explained in a previous post reverse itself? Would the smoke go back into the chimney?



You see, it's because of this String theory that made people think that there could be another universe where there is another you and me but slightly different. And they would be slightly different based on the choices that we make in our lives. An example would be; You are walking across the street and do not look before crossing the road and suddenly a lorry smashes into you with a speed of 500 m/ph causing you to die a very painful, bloody death. Knock on wood this doesn't happen.( But it could.)
                                                                                 (Video on String Theory if you're interested below)
Now lets do that again. You are walking across the street and you look both ways and allow a lorry to pass you by before crossing the street to meet your sibling for lunch in the cafe across the road as you planned earlier that morning. You both greet each other in the cafe and your sibling announces that they are going to set you up with a blind date. You meet that blind date, fall in love and get married to that individual.

Now in one universe, you died because you CHOSE not to look both ways before crossing the street. In the other you CHOSE to look both ways and lived to meet your future husband/wife (who is incrediably hot if you dont mind me saying) later that day. This is the same concept as Schrondiger's cat; Your either dead or alive but you cant be both in the same universe.

It is through this cat stuff and the spatial dimesions that give the multi-universe theory a sort of basis as to whether it could be true, but there is at the moment no crediable proof, so we are going to have to leave it to science fiction to tell us all about the 'other side'.

Although... I'm pretty sure Sarah Palin is from another universe. She sure as fuck didn't come from here.
