Drawing on computability theory (Kleene's second recursion theorem), an analysis associated with Santa Fe Institute's David Wolpert argues it is mathematically possible for a universe to be simulated — even…
A UBC Okanagan team published a proof (Journal of Holography Applications in Physics, 2025) arguing that a fully simulated universe is not merely unlikely but impossible, because physical reality rests on a kind of…
In a peer-reviewed AIP Advances paper, University of Portsmouth physicist Melvin Vopson extended his 'second law of infodynamics' to argue that gravity emerges as an entropic information force — a pressure to…
A 2025 study (bioRxiv preprint) of advanced meditators reports that non-dual experience - the dissolution of self/other boundaries - corresponds to measurable changes in intrinsic neural timescales and reduced…
A peer-reviewed study in Consciousness and Cognition disentangles self-dissolution into two components that research had been blurring: 'unity' (a positive sense of oneness with a larger whole) and 'ego loss'…
Analysis of Spitzer Space Telescope data identified spectral signatures of two key amino acids — tyrosine and phenylalanine — in the interstellar material surrounding IC348 in Perseus, with the same signals present…
Lue Elizondo, who says he ran the Pentagon's AATIP UAP program, testified to the House Oversight Committee in November 2024 alleging recovery of non-human craft and biological samples.
A 2026 arXiv preprint analyzed observational and statistical parameters across Solar Cycle 25 and concluded that its maximum phase was not a single peak but a structured, multi-peaked stretch with unusual solar…
An Imperial College London pilot study used continuous IV infusion to extend the normally brief DMT experience to around 30 minutes, with heart rate and anxiety staying stable.
A peer-reviewed paper by Arkady Bolotin argues that the holographic principle — the idea that a region's 3D content can be encoded on its 2D boundary, like a hologram — follows from physical space having only a…
A neuroimaging preprint reports that experienced long-term meditators show greater structural integrity of the pineal gland and more grey matter maintenance with age compared to matched controls.
Beginning December 2022, independent journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger published internal Twitter records showing the FBI, CDC, State Department and White House routinely flagged posts and accounts…
In June 2022, Google engineer Blake Lemoine, working in Responsible AI, claimed the LaMDA language model was sentient - 'aware of my existence,' capable of joy and fear, dreading being turned off 'like death' - and…
Army Lt. Col. Wayne McDonnell's 1983 'Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process,' later released through the CIA's FOIA reading room, took the Monroe Institute's Hemi-Sync binaural-beat technique seriously as a…
Tracking USPTO data, the Federation of American Scientists reports that at the end of FY2025 there were 6,543 invention-secrecy orders in effect - patents the government has withheld from publication under the…
Tom Campbell, a retired NASA physicist and author of the 'My Big TOE' trilogy, proposed five variations on the double-slit experiment intended to detect whether observation — and thus consciousness — renders…
In 2011 Cornell psychologist Daryl Bem published nine experiments in a top journal, eight showing subjects influenced by not-yet-seen stimuli.
The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis proposes that a comet airburst or impact around 12,800 years ago triggered ~1,200 years of abrupt cooling, mass megafauna extinction, and the end of the Clovis culture - with…
On November 14, 2004, off San Diego, Navy Cmdr. David Fravor and Lt. Cmdr. Alex Dietrich were vectored to a radar contact and encountered a smooth, white, roughly 40-foot 'Tic-Tac'-shaped object with no wings,…
On January 19-20, 2026 the Space Weather Prediction Center tracked an S4 (severe) solar radiation storm — the strongest since the Halloween storms of October 2003.
In his 2003 Philosophical Quarterly paper 'Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?', Oxford's Nick Bostrom argued that at least one of three propositions must hold: civilizations almost always go extinct before…
Since 1998 Princeton-affiliated researcher Roger Nelson has run a global network of 60+ random number generators, testing whether focused collective attention during major events correlates with departures from…
IONS Chief Scientist Dean Radin reported that physiological arousal (skin conductance, heart rate, pupil dilation) rises before an emotional image is randomly shown, versus before a calm one.
Project MKUltra (1953-1973) was a covert CIA program that experimented on often-unwitting subjects with LSD, hypnosis, and other techniques to develop mind-control and interrogation methods.
French anthropologists Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen documented in the 1930s-40s that the Dogon of Mali held traditions describing Sirius B - the tiny white-dwarf companion of Sirius, invisible to the naked…
Swiss scientist Hans Jenny (1904-1972) coined 'cymatics' and, building on Ernst Chladni's 18th-century vibrating-plate experiments, used a tonoscope and oscillators to make sand, powders, and liquids self-organize…
In Muzafer Sherif's 1954 study, 22 similar 12-year-old boys were split into two groups (the Eagles and the Rattlers) at an Oklahoma camp; competition alone rapidly bred hostility, name-calling, and raids.
