Elephants are known for being amongst the world’s most intelligent species. The elephant’s brain is similar to that of humans in terms of structure and complexity.

They exhibit a wide variety of behaviors, including those associated with grief, learning, mimicry, the use of various tools,  and of course compassion and ^{self-awareness.}

Even Aristotle, once said that elephants were “the animal which surpasses all others in wit and mind.”

Kirlian photography is an amazing technique for creating print photographs that essentially show an objects aura!

The discoverer of this technique, Seymond Kirlian was a Russian electrician and maintenance man at his local hospital.

In 1939 he constructed an unusual device that places a sheet photographic film on top of a metal discharge plate that uses high voltage to create an exposure of an image.

Solar activity reached high levels in last two days and with newly numbered Active Region 2205 ('beta') now fully visible on the disk it is expected to remain elevated. This active region showed high flaring activity and Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) while rotating in and if it continues to do so Earth directed CMEs will be possible in the days ahead.

A strong solar flare reaching M7.9 (R2 - Moderate) was observed from it starting 09:26 UTC today. The event peaked at 09:47 and ended at 09:55 UTC. A 10cm Radio Burst lasting 6 minutes with peak flux of 229 sfu was associated with the event indicating a significant radio noise. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

I was so happy to finally see a study done on the psychology of conspiracy beliefs.  It goes through the importance of belief systems in the acceptance or rejection of ‘conspiracy theories.’

If you consider yourself awakened and seeking the truth – especially in government matters, people are quick to label you a crazy conspiracy theorist just so they can validate themselves.

In this study, a large group of commenters were examined on a news website, surrounding the topic of 9/11. Out of the 2174 comments collected, 1459 were coded as conspiracist and 715 as conventionalist. Right away its evident more people are thinking critically about ‘conspiracies’ rather than just disputing them.
