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?
A Real Life Star Wars From Afar?

A mysterious flash of light and a puzzling radio signal beaming from deep space have astronomers and scientists scratching their heads.
You can read about the light here, and the radio signal here.
One possible explanation proposed by astronomer and Loki Times contributor Earl Jokiesowitz is that we are witnessing an interstellar space battle from afar.
Images of the Mysterious Flash of Light
“There’s no doubt in my mind that the flash is that of a Nova-bomb detonated in the course of an intergalactic war. The mysterious flash of light is one of our first peeks at the advanced technology already in use by alien civilizations. The Nova bomb is a super-weapon that causes a star to go Supernova, thus destroying an entire solar system. The resulting energy would be more than enough to produce this flash of light.”
Earl’s stance is controversial, yet it cannot be dismissed by other astronomers, some of whom believe the radio signal is a desperate plea for aid from the victim’s of the Nova bomb.
“If a Nova-bomb has been detonated, you better believe those on the receiving end are experiencing one hell of an ass whooping. It’ll take some time for us to process the radio signal for any encoded message, as well as the light spectrum from the Nova bomb to confirm my theory, but I have no doubt in my mind that right now, as we speak, weapons beyond our comprehension are being used in interstellar conflicts deep in space. We can only hope that these star wars don’t spill over into our neck of the woods,” says Earl Jokiesowitz.
We have to agree.
