Consider for example the various localities that have a feeling of doom or death. Are those preservations purely matter-based? Such feelings are emotions not senses. They are products of the mind.

..Such feelings are emotions not senses. They are products of the mind. I suspect women generally do not consider the emotions to be products of the mind. Women generally are better at sensing emotions

Stephen Hawking popularised the concept of black holes about 40 years ago. Now: "In a short research paper (arXiv:1401.5761) called “Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes,” Hawking proposes that black holes are instead enveloped by an apparent horizon. Basically, instead of an event horizon that blocks everything absolutely, an apparent horizon suspends matter and energy from trying to escape — and when it does escape, due to the wild fluctuations within a black hole and its apparent horizon, the energy would be released in a garbled form." www.extremetech.com/extreme/175414-stephen-hawking-research-there-are-no-black-holesThus the "event horizon" is replaced by "an apparent horizon". Is this an advance in theory or satire?

"The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness" www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736%2815%2960696-1.pdfThe Lancet is one of the most prestigious medical journals.

It seems as though the true, precise nature of black holes is yet to be understood.

Sort of reminds me of the way we get algae and sea weed in different ponds, from the trailers of boats So what mechanism would distribute grass seed tolerant of salt? I guess I was looking for the obvious answer or obvious to me in the factoid or presumed factoid of bird scat !!! And the birds go off and deliver fertilizer birdseed packets as they just fly around I think the issue here is that salt tolerance genes are not restricted to specialized grasses but are found in groups across the whole family - as if the genes were not the result of adaptation but were put in the place in case adaptation were required.

It's hard to get to the truth sometimes. You can only follow your own heart.
Gold is one of the highest metals. How and why does the earth produce it?

Life can exist is some very sparse and incredible circumstances, such as: deep sea beds and in the centre of the earth.

It seems like the Earth is the only planet with a high concentration of Nitrogen in the atmosphere - about 78%. Conventionally it is assumed that all the Nitrogen was here at the formation of the planet, but Thomas Gold would beg to differ.
Now the Oxygen content of the atmosphere seems to have been generated by primitive bacteria that could survive very hot acid solutions around volcanoes.
These bugs produced oxygen for more than a billion years until there was enough for other life forms. And over time the proportion of oxygen stabilised at about 20%.
It is just as well the oxygen content stopped rising as by 24% oxygen there are severe fire hazards.
Just lucky I suppose.

Jumping genes!! "About half a cow’s DNA, for example, appears to have come from a single jumping gene transferred from snakes and lizards. That gene also got into elephants, butterflies and ants. They traced two particular genes through plants, animals and fungi, and all the way into humans. Their work produced a freakish family tree; sheep and cobras seem to share genes, as do pythons, zebrafish and sea urchins. ... “This new perspective allowed them to discover a huge tangled web of horizontal transfers, providing a huge leap forward in advancing our understanding of jumping gene evolution.” It is believed jumping genes travel between species via ticks or bedbugs. A bedbug might sip the blood of one animal with a jumping gene, and then feed on another – allowing the gene to jump across, just like a virus." www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/jumping-genes-can-swap-species-they-are-changing-your-dna-right-now-20180717-p4zrvs.htmlThus genes have jumped from cobras to sheep - or perhaps vice versa - and pythons to sea urchins. Such is the process of forming scientific hypotheses. It could however be rather like humans make cars - using the same parts in lots of different vehicles to reduce development costs

"...2,487 people - 38.6 percent - reported having their first memory before the age of 2. Of those people, 893 reported that their first memory was prior to 1 year of age ... Part of the survey was asking the respondents to describe the memory. The team analysed the language used by the participants, the content of the memory, the nature of the memory described - and the age of the person reporting it. They found that the older a person was, the more likely they were to report an implausibly early first memory. They also found that these memories were age-appropriate, which means they can't have been memories that got muddled in time. They refer to cribs, nappies, prams; or walking for the first time, or wanting to communicate before knowing how to talk. The researchers believe that these implausible memories didn't necessarily come from nowhere, but were pieced together from photographs, knowledge of what a normal infancy entails, and stories told by other family members." www.nexusnewsfeed.com/article/home-family-pets/your-earliest-memories-might-never-have-actually-happened/Thus despite 2500 people reporting age-appropriate earliest memories, the scientists discounted those as genuine on the ground that the scientists did not believe it was possible for the brain (mind?) to record memories at those ages. Such are the processes of science. For myself I can certainly remember being in a cot. I know just where in which room it was and the cot was never in that room for my younger siblings.

This not necessarily the best thread for this:
I have been considering the Epstein-Barr virus that may actually be a cluster of viruses, with various stages in the human body of which only the first is detectable by lab test. By some accounts the E-B virus is widely spread and produces a range of diseases of which the cause is not commonly recognized.
And I was looking at the intelligence that uses those viruses as its local body of manifestation and wondered what was its place in the greater scheme. For example, why do viruses exist? What is the value of this cluster of viruses that connects to perhaps a third of Earth humans?
And later I was out in the solar system and mentioned this to an entity I know. He then gave me something that looked like a piece of a jigsaw. I knew what to do with it and gave it to the E-B entity.
Immediately E-B started to transmit the lowest aspect of cosmic electricity (7E5) from the solar logos (who incarnates as our solar system) to the Earth humans that host the E-B virus.
I then deduced that the diseases from E-B are actually collateral damage in the process of setting up distribution systems for cosmic energy.
Of course there may well be dark versions of the same mechanism. Be careful what you catch!

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and UK tend to update the location of the magnetic north pole every five years, but this update came early because of the pole’s faster movement. The movement of the magnetic north pole “is pretty fast”, Chulliat said. ... Since 2000, its speed jumped from about 9mph (15km/h) to 34mph (55km/h).
The reason is turbulence in Earth’s liquid outer core. There is a hot liquid ocean of iron and nickel in the planet’s core where the motion generates an electric field, said University of Maryland geophysicist Daniel Lathrop, who wasn’t part of the team monitoring the magnetic north pole.
“It has changes akin to weather,” Lathrop said. “We might just call it magnetic weather.”So this all sounds pretty straight forward. The liquid iron core (that has never been seen) is changing its axis of rotation. Since the magnetic pole is off-set from the spin axis, the liquid core must be rotating differently from the Earth itself. What causes these two different axes of rotation? The article goes on The magnetic south pole is moving far slower than the north.newsinfo.inquirer.net/1081577/check-your-compass-the-magnetic-north-pole-is-on-the-moveSo the liquid core in the south is rotating differently than in the northern hemisphere. Now we have at least 3 axes of rotation. No explanatory theory is provided. It might be easier to stop assuming that the core is liquid.

> if you have a 4 pole motor on 60 Hz then RPM=60*(2/4)*60=1800 rpm. motor poles 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18
But only one axis of rotation?

So the center of the planet is not liquid after all.
