CHINA PREPARING A LUNAR LANDER PROBE

Last week I reported on the NASA 'No Fly Zones" and "No Approach Zones" of its Apollo lunar landings, seeking to have the sites themselves declared some sort of "Lunar Historical Sites." On the surface, this would appear to be a perfectly reasonable "request", but one has to wonder about the timing of it. As [...]

CERN REPORTS PARTICLES TRAVELING FASTER THAN LIGHT, PHYSICISTS SKEPTICAL

Yesterday in my News and Views from the Nefarium I discussed the CERN claim to have recorded particles moving faster than the "relativistic speed limit" of the velocity of light, and I'd like to record my comments, or at least memorialize them, in written form here. The article at phys.org may be found here: Physicists [...]

NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THE NEFARIUM SEPT 23 2011

Joseph talks about the recent report that CERN discovered particles traveling faster than the velocity of light, and tries to show that it's a little too early to talk about abandoning Special Relativity.

THE SYMBOLISM of 9-11 CONSIDERED

I have in recent weeks been intermittently concerned with some disturbing features of the official 9-11 story, a story that does not, in my opinion, wash. What has always profoundly disturbed me was that the operation was conducted as strikes against symbols, not of American culture and achievement - we can easily imagine such structures [...]

FOREWARNINGS OF 9-11

While we're reliving the horrible events of 9-11 in these past two weeks, and hearing all the endless rehash of the official conspiracy theory (and admit it, that's what it is...we've come a long way since JFK!), it would do everyone well to recall that a number of intelligence agencies around the world, including our [...]

DISSIDENTS, DEMOCRACY, AND IMPERIALISM

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on Sept. 9, 2011, delivered an informative speech in New York City at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. The speech, for those who know the name, could have been written in the 1950s by George Kennan, or even Frank Wisner of the State Department's notorious Office of Policy Coordination. [...]

FUKUSHIMA THEORIES: THE NUCLEAR WEAPON HYPOTHESIS AGAIN

Lest we forget, the crisis in Fukushima, Japan, concerning its reactors and the fallout therefrom, is still ongoing, and so, it would seem, is the conspiracy theory manufacturing industry. Of course, there are the usual suspicions about the earthquake that supposedly triggered the tsunami being caused by HAARP or some similar technology, and indeed, I [...]

DER SPIEGEL AND THE GERMAN POLITICIAN TURNED CONSPIRACY THEORIST

In the run-up to the tenth anniversary of 9-11, Germany's popular magazine Der Spiegel carried the following interesting article: Questioning 9/11 The Politician Turned Conspiracy Theorist Andreas von Buelow is, as the article indicates, no ordinary conspiracy theorist, having been a cabinet minister for former Social Democratic Party governments in Germany. If you can imagine [...]

A BILLION TIMES SLOWER THAN SLOW: ARISTOTLE WRONG AGAIN

Well, by now we should all know -if we've been listening to Galileo and not the Church - that the redoubtable authorities Ptolemy and  Aristotle is very doubtable, this time in latter's metaphysical principle that an object cannot possess contrary attributes at one and the same time. It's one of those little Galileo moments showing [...]

EUROPE'S FUSION PROJECT

Phys.org reported some rather interesting news a week ago, namely, that the Joint European Torus's most recent experiments in its wall-lining materials were successful, overcoming another hurdle in the development of fusion power: World\'s largest fusion device goes back to work The milestone, while underplayed in the article, was, if read closely and carefully, the [...]
