Probability - Fact or Fiction by Johnny Fuctup
Probability ? Fact or Fiction
So what is the chance that a coin will land heads when flipped? Scientists say there is a 50% chance. Is this necessarily so though?
From reading my other articles it should be clear that one theory of our universe that I?m particularly interested in is consensus reality. A universe created by our collective consciousness that fits within the conf ... continue

Living Authentically in a Masked World by Delores Williams
Humanity seems to be the only species that never seems
pleased with its own. People tend to spend the majority of

been able to attain. It is the illusion of perfection. The
problem is, that is a course that is marked with failure and
pain. Someone came up with the concept that people should be
wafting through t ... continue
The Truth about Tooth Decay or Dental Caries by Joe Miller
Tooth decay, or dental caries, is caused by prolonged exposure to acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. We cannot avoid bacteria in the air. When we breathe it enters the mouth and attaches itself to everything, including the teeth. In fact, there are more microcosms in one mouth than there are people on the earth.
Sugar is the main culprit in tooth decay, because that is w ... continue
Post Nasal Drip by Joe Miller
Post nasal drip is a sensation of mucous build up in the throat. Sometimes you may even feel a dripping sensation from the back of your nose. The cause is over-production of mucous by glands in the nose and in the throat.
At a healthy level those glands produce around two quarts of mucous each day. Most, if not all, of that is swallowed without knowing it. The mucous, however, ... continue
Otitis Media (ear infection) by Joe Miller
In simple terms, otitis media is an ear infection. It is inflammation of the inner ear, often caused by moisture which gets collected in the ear or by minor injury to the ear canal.

Injuries often occur with hard impact with water or careless or intense use of cotton swabs. Discom ... continue

X-Files Stuff in the News! by Doug Bower
I have always loved science fiction. I always have and always will. However, I do possess, most of the time, a solid enough grip on reality to let go of my sci-fi love when I put the book down or leave the movie theater.
I mean, I would love for half the stuff I see in sci-fi to be true right now. You know what I am talking about, don`t you? I would love to be able to zoom through `S ... continue

Protein Design: Automated protein discovery and synthesis by Paras Chopra
In this paper I describe (theoretically) the method(s) of automated protein discovery and synthesis.
1. Protein Folding Problem
To solve the protein folding problem we can use Artificial Neural Networks. We will train the networks with natural proteins whose 3D structure and amino acid sequence is known. After that we will test the network with few new artificially designed prot ... continue
Memory Research Misses The Obvious by Abraham Thomas
The search to reveal a mystery.
Research laboratories around the world sought the location of human memory. The research had followed diverse leads. One clue related to the branched inputs of nerve cells, called dendrites. Branch growth was assisted by a protein called cypin. Some memory disabilities were related to deficits in cypin. So, one possibility was that nerve cells grew n ... continue

Drought Defined by Chris Orr
Drought is usually talked about as single event. In reality, there are two types of drought: agricultural and hydrologic. Drought is further defined by its duration.
The earth`s water or hydrologic cycle is a closed system, meaning the water is never lost. The rainfall we lack is a surplus somewhere else on the planet, either above ground, below ground or in the atmosphere. Rather t ... continue
