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.

What is Suspended animation?

 

Seriously What the Fuck is it?

Well my 200 blogger friends let me explain what it is as I usually do in my weird and frankly fucking wild blog post's.


Suspended animation is the art of shutting down life processes and then starting them up again. It's wild stuff, but it's not science fiction. (Just pseudoscience if you read my previous post)

Suspended animation can potentially help trauma and heart attack victims survive long enough to be treated which is very awesome. In fact I found a video from TEDTalks to explain it far better than I could. I'm way too nice to you guys.


 
I liked this video but I expected more of an applause when he said he saved thousands of babies, I mean come on, the dude is saving babies and the crowd barely made a noise. I applauded though.

Autism and Genius


Everyone has Autism to some degree

With every negative side there will always be a positive. Its the same with psychological disorders. Having Autism and Aspergers can make living everyday life hard for some people that have the disorder to a higher degree, but Autism can make that particular individual more creative and focused.

I don't like to say the word disorder

And that's with everything. I mean just because they have a different way of looking at the world (which is what it is) doesn't mean they are wrong, does it? In fact looking at the world differently to everyone else is where new idea's are generated from, example's are; Albert Einstein, George Orwell, H G Wells, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Beethoven, Mozart, Hans Christian Andersen and Immanuel Kant. Of course these dude's died before Autism and Aspergers became an available ''condition''.

 

The link between Genius

Autism and Aspergers produce people who are;
  • Highly focused
  • Don't integrate into the school system very well 
  • Have poor social relationships and eye contact. (which is probably why they are so focused)
  • Can be paranoid and oppositional but are usually highly moral and ethical.
This doesn't sound so bad. And these are the qualities that make a genius. All they need is an empathic Adult/Parent/Friend to understand them and they can thrive in whatever they want to. In fact we as humans always tell our children 'do what makes you happy' and 'dont care what others think' which is what many people who have what our society deems as 'problems' most likely wouldn't be so unhappy if we just accepted them for who they are. Of course there will always be a few hiccups in the road called life but thats with everyone isn't it?


 


If you have an Autistic relative or child your doing a great job, you should be really proud of yourself and your relative, and if you can both understand eachother it can be one of the most rewarding relationship you can ever have. Keep in mind what's been said in this post and find a way that allows both the Autistic and yourself to thrive as everyone is unique and there will never be just one way.

 

It's not a problem if you don't allow it to be.

Math and Music: The Connection

Math is in everything


Yesterday I got an email from a rather angry blog reader saying that 'music has no mathematical qualities as music doesn't follow any rules like math does' in regards to my previous post on classical music. The guy/girl has a point in that music doesn't follow any strict 'rules', but everything has a connection to math its just that we don't see it. And math and music have a rather definite connection through to the rhythm's and tones and in the design of the instruments. And this is for both acoustic and electronic instruments.





How to convert Music to Math

Converting sheet music to math means reducing the notes, pitches and chords in the music to their numerical value on the diatonic scale. Now if you don't play an instrument or know how to read sheet music this may be hard for you to understand, but if you learn how to and practise converting sheet music into math then you'll eventually get it.




1. Find out what Octave the music is in.

2. Write out the names of the notes on a piece of paper such as on piano, G-B-A-C.

3. Put the number of the Octave next to the number so for instance; G3-B3-A3-C3
(these notes are in the third Octave so I put the number three next to them).
4. Write a number below each of the letter and number combo to indicate how long  that note will be held out. Like this;



Or..... You could just put into ratio's like this dude did with the number 1.618 (the Golden Ratio)

Things from the 'Other side'



How could we tell?

I got an email from a blog reader from China asking about my post on the String theory. And his/her's question's were 'do you believe in there being 'another side' and 'if someone from another universe was to come here to our side, how could we tell?'

The answer to the first question is . I just like different theories and writing about them whether I believe them to be true or not. I don't know whether I believe in there being another universe because I haven't decided yet. I can't even decide what I want for breakfast let alone whether I believe in the String theory, so the answer is I dont know. I hope this is very useful.

The answer to the next question is I dont know for sure (I don't really know a lot) but I could theorise that it would have a sort of different emition of energy compared to our stuff. I know this seems really 'Wilheim Reich' but bare with me.

Every organism has a bioelectric field. I have one that is slightly different to your's and you slighlty different to mine, but still in the same 'frequency range' (I am reluctant to call it that) that you could tell we are of the same species. It's actually how a Shark can sense prey from miles away as it is stimulated by magnectic fields that the organisms cells and living tissue produce. So I believe that theoritcally by using the right equipment you could 'read' the energy emitted by that particular person or thing and you would be able to tell if it was from 'the Other side' because it would have a distinctive energy signiture compared to the control group. (The control group being a bunch of people or objects from 'our side').


Although if there were people from the other side living among us it would be one of these two. They are just way too similar to be from the same universe...

About me


This Email I got        


After browsing my email this morning when I had nothing to do as the summer holidays drag on, I had one blog reader asking me questions about myself, my first response was 'weirdo'. But I thought, hey, what do I have to lose? (Hopefully nothing) So blog reader that sent me this email with a series of question's, this is for you ;)


What university do or did you go to?

I don't go to any university as I am not old enough (I am 15), I am currently going to a public secondary school (or as you Americans say High school). I would like to go to university in the future, but I don't think I will be able to afford it as the current part time occupation that I have is a volunteer thing and although I love it and its the best job ever, it won't pay for school. So I will probably have to work as soon as I leave school which isn't a bad thing as I'm sure it's just as fulfilling as going to university.

How did you get so smart?

I am not smart. I just read a lot and am interested in science among other things, but particularly pseudoscience, that's why I suggest that after you read these post's you go and check out the information further (not because I am so stupid I don't know what I'm talking about, but because I could always be wrong, just like any other source you read from).

 What are your aspiration's for the future?

I live by the uncertainty principle (I'll explain that in another post don't worry) so I don't really 'plan' as such. Wherever life takes me I go I guess and am really excited as to where it will take me, whether that's being homeless and selling matchsticks, salesperson trying to keep there head above water , CEO of some big company or a teacher. I can't wait for whatever to come around the corner.

What course's do or did you do in university?

Like I said before, I don't go to university, but if I were to go I would do every university course under the sun. I love almost every subject. (But I really hate math, which I find weird because I got an A in physic's, explain that!) So if I were to do a course it would be everything!

How long have you been interested in Science?

I think I first started like really, really getting into Science when I first got into Year 10 (4th year of secondary school) because I was lucky enough to get a really good teacher/s that were really funny and easy to listen to. I was interested in Science before anyway, but before I just viewed it as a subject that I was good at and that I did on Monday and Tuesday's, now I view it as something that I live and breathe everyday and really enjoy. (Among other Subjects of course)

What job's have you had before?

My first ever 'job' was working in a stable with horses about maybe 2 or 3 years ago, then after I finished that sometimes I would clean the floor of a fish and chip shop so I could get a free dinner for me and my family (which was cool).

Do you think that I would be able to have a career in Science? If so, what path of Science would you recommend?

I am not a person that is such a genius that I have been done every science career in the world, (which I am sure you are disappointed by) damn I'm not even legally allowed to work as such until I am 18. But I know that if you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe then you'll be able to get whatever job it is that you are aiming for, and I hope that you mention me in your acceptance speech for your Nobel Prize :) To encourage you further, I've put on one of my favourite video's that I watch when I get up in the morning, I hope you like it.

(although this particular video is based on sports it can be applied to anything)

Mind control???



History of ''mind control''

People have always wanted to know if mind control was possible (especially the united states government when they got all happy when they thought that Lysergic acid diethylamide could be the answer to mind control sometime back in the 50's and 60's). The closest the human race has gotten to mind control is hypnotism (unless I missed something in the news today), but then again that would only take you so far as subjecting someone to hypnotism would only make them do something that they are already willing to do. I don't have the answer. And if I did I wouldn't be posting it on here. But I did have a brainwave that in theory would work but then brings up some difficulties.

May I add this post is  in the name of scientific interest only :)


My really crappy theory...


I remember being in school in ICT in year 9 and the class was being very disruptive, as per usual, and so to get the classes attention our teacher from her one computer blanked everyone's computer screen in our classroom. I had read somewhere that the human brain is like an 'organic computer' and so I then made the assumption that it can be hijacked and blanked just like our ICT teacher had done that day to our computer's. 

Here's a little biology lesson for you quickly...


Little arrow pointing to the Thalamus
The Thalamus is the part of the brain that regulates sleep cycles. And the Thalamus is connected to the Cerebral Cortex which controls motor function. Now say you wanted to control someone's mind and get them to go and pick up a magazine off of the coffee table, I hypotheses hat for you to be able to do that, you would have to amplified your own neurotransmitters and brainwaves (as our brain waves are made up of electrical charge and can be amplified like that of any electrical equipment) by using some type of medication such as Adderall or Ritalin (assuming of course you dont have ADHD or ADD)and your brainwaves would have to pick up on the Thalamus activities of the poor soul you are subjecting this onto.

But,
And that's a big but. One question that continues to bug me (well not really as I am not that worried as to how I am going to control someone's mind) is that if you were to theoretically 'control' someone else's mind by 'accessing' there Thalamus then wouldn't that create a sort of waking dream like trance or sleep paralysis for the subjected? Another worry is a psychotic episode. As the Thalamus, as previously mentioned, is responsible for sleep cycles and when there is abnormal activities in this part of the brain during waking periods it makes the host of the brain see or hear things that aren't there even if they are perfectly sane, which is what a psychotic episode is. Although many psychotic episodes are usually a result of stress and fatigue in a sane person and not by someone else trying to control there mind, so I cannot be too sure as too whether if mind control would make someone break into a psychotic episode, although I would not put it pass it.

Another thing, 

I also hypothise that to be able to control someone's mind you would have to be on the same wavelength, which is harder done then said, as everyone has unique electrical thumbprint, if you will, which basically means that you would have a different withstantion of electrical charge than I would. (Hopefully that made sense to you as I forgot all my smart words) And this is relevant to our theory of 'mind control' because you could possible kill the other person if your brain has too much 'power' and vice versa.

Then again, I am just a teenager that has an interest in pseudoscience and have no background in a scientific field other than what I have learnt from lecters on TEDtalks (a good site you should go on) and from books and my incrediably talented teachers at school. But one thing is for sure about mind control.... *see picture below*


Good thing I read books
