Economic Recession = Jobs For Robots
Filed under: Artificial Intelligence, Robot Psychology, Robots, Technology, The Future
Could the recession accelerate the inevitable rise of the machines? Robots with primitive forms of intelligence are spreading like wild fire, and the current global economic crisis is feeding the flames. Since we can harness these robots as slaves to do our dirty work for a fraction of the cost of human workers, it makes since that this economical option is so appealing to employers. But are the benefits worth the risk to mankind? Read more
A Real Life Star Wars From Afar?
Filed under: Alien Intelligence, Aliens, Astronomy, Mysteries, Outer Space, Technology
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.
Calling Our Alien Neighbors With Neutrinos
For years, SETI researchers have kept their eyes and ears trained upward in the hopes of intercepting radio signals from alien civilizations. However, a new report from researchers at the University of Hawaii states we might be tuning in to the wrong channels.
The report, which you can read here, theorizes that intergalactic communication could be best facilitated through the use of Galactic Neutrino Communication (GNC). Neutrinos are elementary particles that can travel near the speed of light, making them ideal couriers for interstellar message delivery. The GNC would encode messages in oscillations within the neutrino transmission.
Jackie Jokiesowitz and her husband Earl have been employing this method for years from their mountain laboratory. They’ve received over a dozen transmissions, but up until now they have been ridiculed and ostracized by the larger scientific community because of some of their more controversial stances on SETI related topics. In particular, the Jokiesowitz’s are firm believers in the Ancient Astronaut hypothesis popularized by Erich Von Daniken in his book Chariots of the Gods
The Jokiesowitzs’ plan on releasing the findings of their Galatic Neutrino Communication experiment soon. According to Jackie Jokiesowitz, “The transmissions we’ve received will shake our current understanding of our place in the universe.” Until the findings are released, the jury will remain out.
Total Recall, Ultrasound, and Memory Implants
Filed under: Science Fiction, Scientific, Technology
Like so many Phillip K. Dick inspired films before and after it, Total Recall is proving to be eerily prophetic. Total Recall tells the story of a man who’s memory is scrambled over and over again by memory transplant technology. The transplants are so effective they create two people in one, each with their own life, personality, and memories. This mind scrambling leads the main character on a bloody dangerous mind trip that ends on the planet Mars. Along the way there is a psychic mutant protruding from a man’s side like a tumor, a chick with three boobs, and an alien atmosphere machine. Sound fun to you?
Today, researchers say the memory transplant technology in Total Recall is close to becoming reality. Researchers at ASU are advancing ultrasound technology that could lead to the development of, among other things, remote controls which could be used to rewrite the neural connections in your brain which make up your memories.
The Loki Times always operates under the assumption that any “groundbreaking” technology or scientific breakthrough you hear about in the “news” has already taken place and is in use, probably at a far more advance level than reported. So where does this leave us? For starters, it means your memories might be fabrications. In fact, this memory control technology could be employed on a mass scale to create a fake collective memory designed to suit the needs of the corrupt elite.
Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s character Douglas Quaid in Total Recall put it best: “If I am not me, den who da hell am I?” Truer words have never been spoken. The next time you recall that favorite vacation of yours, or the events of last year, keep that in mind. Our Who Am I? t-shirts might help you remember.

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.
