Scientists Have Evidence Aliens Prevented 20th Century Apocalypse

Did alien guardians prevent an apocalyptic event in the early 20th century? That’s what Russian scientist Dr. Yuri Labvin claims in an extraordinary new theory about the Tunguska Event of 1908.
The brief synopsis of the mysterious Tunguska Event is that on June 30, 1908, a massive explosion occured above a remote region of Siberia, leveling over 80 million trees across a hundred square mile area. The explosion is estimated to have been equivelant to several A-Bombs. The catalyst for the explosion remains a big unknown. Read more here.
Dr. Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation, says he has evidence that the explosion was caused by an alien spacecraft colliding with a massive meteor on a collision course with earth. By exploding the massive meteor before it crashed into our planet, Dr. Labvin says the aliens saved humanity.
Dr. Labvin’s evidence is several quartz slabs discovered at the site of the explosion which are engraved with strange symbols. According to Dr. Labvin, we do not possess the technology to create the intricate geometric shapes carved on the quartz slabs. Tests with lasers were unsuccessful at duplicating the designs. He claims the slabs are debris from the alien spaceship, possibly part of the ship’s navigation controls.
Are these alien navigation controls?
We should all take a moment to think of the brave alien astronauts who saved our planet on that fateful day in 1908. We don’t know about you, but we feel safer knowing extraterrestrial intelligences are looking out for us. Read more here.

Good News: Our Brains Could Be Bigger
Filed under: Human Intelligence, Psychology, The Future
The laws of thermodynamics show that human brains have room to grow. Faced with endless stories of human stupidity day in and day out, this is good news.
The report at the arXiv blog (read here), compares brains to computer chips. There is a limit to the size of most computer chips because the larger the chip, the more cooling it requires. The same can be said for our brains. We encounter a size limit when the amount of energy required for cooling becomes unsustainable and inefficient. Some computer chip makers say we are fools to produce faster and faster chips because of these inevitable cooling problems (once again, good news for anyone who fears a robot apocalypse).
But, calculations by theoritical neurobiologists show that our brains could be much larger.
Are our brains growing? How can we tell?
Ongoing Research Excerpts from DARPA’s Strategic Plan
Filed under: Alien Intelligence, Aliens, Animal Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, Biology, Computers, Conspiracies, Future Weapons, Human Intelligence, Intelligence, Mind Control, Robots, Science, Science Fiction, Star Wars, Technology, The Future
DARPA (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) recently released a 50+ page strategic plan highlighting some of the most advance research projects it is currently undertaking. On page 9, section 2.6, DARPA outlines a “short list” of ongoing research. We list the highlights here.
- High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System – You heard it here. These are small high power laser weapons, i.e. weapons that shoot energy beams at the speed of light. That’s fast.
- High Productivity Computing Systems – a.k.a. Super computers a.k.a. SKYNET from the Terminator mythos.
- Machine Learning – Cognitive machines. Hmmm. Again, we’ll reference SKYNET and Terminator.
- Neuroscience – In specific, projects that’ll create brain-machine interfaces. Is this putting us one step closer to The Matrix?
- Real-Time Accurate Language Translation – Tower of Babel my ass.
- Space – , here we come.
Scary, but real, stuff. You can find the full report here.
Which one of these research projects would you most like to see come to fruition?
‘Red Batter’: Mystery Substance in J.J. Abram’s Star Trek in Reality

**** Caution. Possible SPOILER ALERT ****
J.J. Abram’s Star Trek features a Hitchcockian macguffin like few we’ve ever seen before. It’s a mysterious substance referred to as ‘red batter’ by the film’s villain, Romulan Captain Nero. Now, there is some debate right now over whether Nero called it ‘red batter’ OR ‘red matter’, but for the sake of giving this amazing substance more identity, we’re calling it ‘red batter’.
‘Red batter’ has the ability to reduce itself and matter around it into a singularity at a rapid, exponential rate. As a bomb explodes on impact, ‘red batter’ gravitationally sucks in everything around it on impact. The end result is that most awesome of interstellar objects, the fearsome black hole.
In J.J. Abram’s Star Trek, Captain Nero uses the ‘red batter’ (or ‘red matter’) to create a black hole in the center of Spock’s home world Vulcan. This black hole devours the planet in a matter of minutes in a sequence that is, in our opinion, much more terrifying than Star War’s Death Star’s planet destroying laser beam could ever be.
Besides creating black holes, the ‘red batter’ can also affect time travel. If you’ve seen the new Star Trek, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Could such a matter exist in reality? Perhaps. A recent study, which you can read more about here, suggests that all particles are miniature black holes. IF this is the case, than it is probable that there is a catalyst which would enable these miniature black holes, which are everything, to coalesce together at an exponential rate to create a rapidly growing black hole that devours everything in its path.
Could the Large Hadron Collider be a catalyst for such a reaction? If so, what sort of defenses have we put in place?
And did Captain Nero say ‘red batter’ or ‘red batter’? Personally, we think ‘red batter has a nicer ring to it. What do you think?
Real Life Star Trek: DARPA Rewards VULCAN Engine Contracts
Filed under: Future Weapons, Outer Space, Science, Science Fiction, Technology, The Future
Right before the release of J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency kicks off their VULCAN Engine Program by rewarding four contractors with funding to begin first phase development of the proposed super engine system.
When we hear the word Vulcan, our thoughts wander to the Star Trek character Spock, his home planet, and his people. The VULCAN Engine Program is appropriately named since it is a “propulsion system demonstration effort to design, build, and ground-test an engine capable of accelerating a full-scale hypersonic vehicle from rest to Mach 4+.”
This could be our first steps towards a “warp drive” propulsion system like the one that propels the Enterprise across vast distances in space.
