Date: January 16, 2014 Source: Elsevier Summary: A review and update of a controversial 20-year-old theory of consciousness claims that consciousness derives from deeper level, finer scale activities inside brain neurons. The recent discovery of quantum vibrations in "microtubules" inside brain neurons corroborates this theory, according to review authors. They suggest that EEG rhythms (brain waves) also derive from deeper level microtubule vibrations, and that from a practical standpoint, treating brain microtubule vibrations could benefit a host of mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions.

Nearly six dozen other observatories have joined the fun. This illustration depicts the first moments after a neutron-star merger.

Simonnet On 17 August the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), along with sister observatory Virgo, detected a swell of gravitational waves. Less than two seconds after that signal ceased, the  Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope  identified a flash in the southern sky. Though it would take several hours to verify, researchers had spotted a gamma-ray burst (GRB) triggered by the collision of two neutron stars. In...

## Always keep a hammer in car ## Driving is probably the most dangerous thing most of us will ever do. According to available data, there are more than 8 million deaths and over 10 million injuries from motor vehicle crashes in the world every year. Although you do your best to drive responsibly and defensively, it's still smart to know what to do just in case you  got   stuck  in an accidental car. Accidents can be very scary, and results in very unexpected consequences.  When a car crashes or sinks in a flood or river, most of the time it's electronic systems get failed.  Now a days central locking and power window is an essential feature of any car,which are controlled by central chip system. When you are stuck in a car after crash or failure of electronic control system, your windows and gates will not work. There is no another way to get out from your burning or sinking car. The glasses of cars are  toughened  enough that no one can break it easi...
