‘Compact fluorescent light bulbs are filling home and office environments with dangerous electromagnetic pollution, causing devastating health effects on some people. Neurologists are increasingly taking notice of the headaches and migraines being reported by people exposed to compact fluorescent light bulbs.

‘The head of the UK’s first regulator for complementary medicine has promised to get tough with the industry and drive out cowboy therapists. Maggie Dunn, co-chairman of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), said it was time customers were given proper assurances.’

(TWR)…. because, of course, all visits to the doctor and the consumption of any pharmaceuticals they prescribe, are completely ‘safe’, eh?….

Physicists resolve confounding paradox of Quantum Theory

‘University of Toronto quantum physicists Jeff Lundeen and Aephraim Steinberg have shown that Hardy’s paradox, a proposal that has confounded physicists for over a decade, can be confirmed and ultimately resolved, a task which had seemingly been impossible to perform. “For nearly a century, the widespread interpretation of quantum mechanics suggests that everything is uncertain until it is observed, and that observation inevitably alters reality,” says Professor Steinberg. “However, in the 1990s, a technique known as ‘interaction-free measurement’ seemed to promise the ability to ‘see without looking,’ as a Scientific American article put it at the time. But when Lucien Hardy proposed that one could never reliably make inferences about past events which hadn’t been directly observed, a paradox emerged which suggested that whenever one attempted to reason about the past in this way they would be led into error.”‘ ‘”Until recently, it seemed impossible to carry out Hardy’s proposal in practice, let alone to confirm or resolve the paradox,” he says. “We have finally been able to do so, and to apply Aharonov’s methods to the problem, showing that there is a way, even in quantum mechanics, in which one can quite consistently discuss past events even after they are over and done. Weak measurement finds what is there without disturbing it.”‘

(TWR)…. does that not mean then that you can indeed observe something without changing it’s momentum? isn’t that refuting quantum theory completely?

‘You’re in a room with 10 other people who seem to agree on something, but you hold the opposite view. Do you say something? Or do you just go along with the others? Decades of research show people tend to go along with the majority view, even if that view is objectively incorrect. Now, scientists are supporting those theories with brain images. A new study in the journal Neuron shows when people hold an opinion differing from others in a group, their brains produce an error signal. A zone of the brain popularly called the “oops area” becomes extra active,while the “reward area” slows down, making us think we are too different.’

(TWR)…. however, don’t forget cnn ditched their entire science staff recently….
