Is This A MONOLITH On The Mars Surface?

As TAL readers are sure to know, the government provides real detailed pictures of the Mars surface that any Internet surfer can literally dig into. And, a few people have endless patience to do exactly that - and make `finds'. Now, nearly all the finds have MULTIPLE possible explanations (such as a Dust Devil, evidently) - not just the attention grabbing ones like this video. Nonetheless, take less than TWO minutes to feel a sense of wonder:

Meanwhile....... Brain oscillations reveal that our senses do not experience the world continuously - A tease:
Prof Thut said: “Rhythmicity therefore is indeed omnipresent not only in brain activity but also brain function. For perception, this means that despite experiencing the world as a continuum, we do not sample our world continuously but in discrete snapshots determined by the cycles of brain rhythms.” 
So, the WORLD and us turn ON and turn OFF - Brain Oscillations.

TAL is your connection to edgy science stuff.
==================================
How about taking a number of folks and putting them in front of a HIGH WIND machine?


There are another dozen or so here - Wind Tunnel Portraits.
==================================
Many of you know that TAL is just one of my blogs. One of them is called UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock, which I have listed on some Blog Catalogs and such. Getting folks to write reviews of anything is tough, but, I'd love for you to VOTE for my blog (after checking it out) at this link - http://www.blogcatalog.com/blogs/ufo-disclosure-countdown-clock/reviews

Chimps Teach Young To Communicate With Humans

Captive chimps that is. This is a study of over 150 chimps held captive in Texas - Chimps Teach Young Concerning Humans.
The details get a bit iffy to me as far as any so-called proof of anything other than common sense. Interesting short read, worthy of TAL's science bent.
==============================
Here's some more interesting stuff from the edge - Jupiter's Interior is Melting and it has implications (for human understanding) into the universe.
==============================
One of the features of TAL is `Trippy Art' -- say no more - Done While High?
=============================
ONE MORE? You lush. Okay how about the deepest `secrets' of the universe Revealed.
=============================
Finally, want to see the best of what 2012 has offered so far in regards to UFOs? - I've got you covered - 2012 UFO Videos And UFO Pictures.

Have Dogs Been Pets For 30,000 Years?

As science seems to push back further and further our `normalcy' of humans - this is a push back of at least 10K years earlier than dogs were thought to be domesticated. The real reason to read this however is to see the picture of the dogs skull and to know that he Was Buried With A Mastodon Bone In His Mouth. Links to more details and other science articles.

==========================================
One of the best Barf Stew posts ever was about a letter found from a slave in response to being asked to `come back' by his owner after the civil war - the letter was called - There Never Was A Payday For The Negro.
============================
The next story has been slowly emerging for years - that some `vegatative' patients are `aware' - find out more about how this research is Progressing.
============================
Finally for today - here's a link to my new page that is tracking the BEST UFO videos of 2012 - lots of links already - Featured 2012 UFO Videos - DIRECT links to the YouTube videos.

Living in A Simulation

Hello TAL readers - I hope you have had a good holiday period. Today's post is about the real possibility that the reality we perceive around us is some complex simulation. (I am of the belief that CERTAINLY the `perception structure' is `simulated'.) As my most science oriented readers of my blogging efforts - dig into this superior post with embedded YouTube video too. Short Edgy Science Stuff. This is a link BTW from the blog of Bruceleeowe a GREAT edge science blog.
Oh, here's a tease from the article:
it brings together a number of interesting bits of information about (to quote from the wiki) “the possibility that our existence rests on an unimaginably complex n-dimensional k-state computer grid with rules governing the transition from one state to another”.
==========================
Meanwhile..... World-Record Pulsed Magnetic Field Achieved; Lab Moves Closer to 100-Tesla Mark - Science Daily Article - and when this is achieved scientists will be able to look into:
This type of magnet allows researchers to carefully tune material parameters while perfectly reproducing the non-invasive magnetic field. Such high magnetic fields confine electrons to nanometer scale orbits, thereby helping to reveal the fundamental quantum nature of a material.
=======================================
BTW - I have a new blog on Squidoo about and devoted to 2012 UFO videos - so if you want the very latest direct links to the videos themselves  - please visit and bookmark 2012 UFO Videos.
