**** 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?
Is Glow-in-the-Dark Genetic Engineering the Solution to the Energy Crisis?

The video says it all. What’s next? Can you imagine a world full of glow in the dark humans?
Some say this could be a solution for the energy crisis and global warming.
“If humans glowed in the dark, they wouldn’t need lights. Lights in our homes, cities, et cetera eat up a tremendous amount of energy,” says Physicist Peter Pablano. “Glow in the dark powers could save the climate, since the reduction in energy consumption would lead to a massive reduction in carbon emissions.”
What do you think? Should the Obama administration push forward with a policy of genetically engineering the American populace to glow in the dark as part of their energy policy?
DARPA Launches All Seeing Eye Into Stratosphere

Another step towards floating cities or Big Brother? You decide.
DARPA is moving project ISIS into its demonstration phase. ISIS (Integrated Sensor Is Structure) is a military project with goals to launch an autonomous statospheric-based airship equipped with supercharged sensors for surveillance. The lightweight structure will hover high above earth for years and be capable of tracking objects as small as a child from up to 300 km away.
But, the idea of hovering surveillance structures troubles privacy groups like the Anti-Satellite Sympathizers. A.S.S. founder and president Neil Kaminskigee said the following: “It’s just one more step towards a totalitarian police state, in which every square inch of earth has a dedicated ‘surveillance camera’ to watch over citizens.”
Others see this as another step towards floating airbases and cities. Population control organizations have promoted the idea of permanent, stratosphere based structures to help alleviate overcrowding on the surface of our planet.

Jetpacks: Here Now, and as Cool as we Dreamed
Filed under: Science, Science Fiction, Technology, The Future
Thanks to Cristina at Ninjatronics for forwarding us this link to one of the coolest things ever. I mean, how can you not be cool with one of these water powered jet packs strapped on your back? Look at these people soar. “Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!”
The Rocketeer’s got nothing on this. Forget the fact you can only go 30 feet high or travel 25 mph. Soon, we’ll be able to cut the umbilical cord tethering us to the water and soar like birds, and be really really cool.
Nanophotonics, Plasmonics, and Invisibility Cloaks: What You Need To Know
Filed under: Government, Science, Scientific, Technology
The ever advancing field of transformation optics promises the development of invisibility cloaks in the near future. We’ve already witnessed minor breakthroughs in the news with cloaking technology, but now we’re talking about the mass production of consumer ready invisibility cloaks.
What most people don’t know is that there is good reason to believe these advanced invisibility cloaks already exist and are in use by various government and para-government organizations. In fact, a member of The Loki Times staff spotted a person wearing an invisibility cloak in our offices. This person was chased through the building, but as you can imagine keeping track of someone who is invisible is very hard.
We just want you to keep this in mind, because there could be someone wearing an invisibility cloak watching you, even as you read this. Many of these futuristic inventions you hear about being “developed” are actually here.
Check back soon for images of invisibility cloak wearing spies caught on film.
