“Ancient Aliens” is an interesting documentary from a History Channel, about ancient cultures and their stories about divine or super beings. A remarkable note is that scientists found modern evidence of nuclear blasts which took place thousands of years ago, for example, the stories of the battle of Kurukshetra describe the Brahmastra weapon in the ancient texts of The Mahabharata.

I did notice an error when they mention Lord Rama instead of Lord Krishna as the main hero described in the epic book The Mahabharata. Lord Rama was described in the Ramayana which was written before Mahabharata. Amazing how the History Channel makes a mistake on such a commonly known fact, at least amongst Indologists and global historians, makes me think what else they overlook or don’t research properly.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic.”Arthur C. Clarke.

Cold Fusion is the short name for the study of nuclear fusion at or near room temperatures. This hypothetical form of nuclear fusion does not require the extreme temperatures used in current day Nuclear Reactors. It’s a “hot” topic in scientific circles sparking controversy since 1989 when electro-chemists Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons announced they had produced fusion in their lab. Cold Fusion is also called “Low Energy Nuclear Reaction” (LENR) or Condensed Matter Nuclear Science” Opponents and skeptics make arguments based upon initial replication failures and errors. I would say, these errors are simply part of the experimentation process and one should continue until exhausting all attempts, there is always something to learn in the process. Well some of these visionary scientists and inventors refused to give up and have recently been conducting new experiments which raise new questions about Cold Fusion as a commercially viable alternative. I can only think that technology has come a bit further since 1989 and new approaches can be taken into it’s investigation.

My favorite way to get the news is from freelance reporter Marta Costello of the gnooze (the g is silent). She is the perfect antidote for the lousy doings of today’s evil doers. In this video clip she talks about interests rates being cut all over the world, Korea firing off test missiles and another AIG bailout. Enjoy the show!
