Humans will be cyborgs within 200 years, expert predicts

Within the next 200 years, humans will have become so merged with technology that we’ll have evolved into “God-like cyborgs”, according to Yuval Noah Harari, an historian and author from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel.

Harari researches the history of the human species, and after writing a new book on our past, he now believes that we’re just a few short centuries away from being able to use technology to avoid death altogether - if we can afford it, that is.

“I think it is likely in the next 200 years or so Homo sapiens will upgrade themselves into some idea of a divine being, either through biological manipulation or genetic engineering of by the creation of cyborgs: part organic, part non-organic,” Harari said during his presentation the Hay Festival in the UK, as Sarah Knapton reports for the Telegraph. “It will be the greatest evolution in biology since the appearance of life … we will be as different from today’s humans as chimps are now from us.” 

Obviously, we should take Harari’s predictions with a grain of salt, but while they sound more suited to science fiction than real life, they're not actually that out-there. Many researchers believe that we’ve already started down the path towards a cyborg future; after all, many of us already rely on bionic ears and eyes, insulin pump technology and prosthetics to help us survive. And with researchers recently learning how to send people’s thoughts across the web, subconsciously control bionic limbs and use liquid metal to heal severed nerves, it’s not hard to imagine how we could continue to use technology to supplement our vulnerable human bodies further.

Interestingly, Harare’s comments came just a few days after UK-based neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow from Cambridge University got the Internet excited by saying that it could be possible to upload our brains into computers, if we could build computers with 100 trillion circuit connections. “People could probably live inside a machine. Potentially, I think it is definitely a possibility,” Critchlow said during her presentation at the festival.

But Harari warned that these upgrades may only be available to the wealthiest members of society, and that could cause a growing biological divide between rich and poor - especially if some of us can afford to pay for the privilege of living forever while the rest of the species dies out.

If that sounds depressing, the alternative is a future where instead of us taking advantage of technology, technology takes advantage of us, and artificial intelligence poses a threat to our survival, as Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Bill Gates have all predicted.

Either way, one thing seems pretty clear - our future as a species is now inextricably linked with the technology we've created. For better or for worse.

Secret Cities On Planet Mars Censored By NASA

Planet Mars was having large cities with buildings, roads and cars. The entire city areas on the map are blurred out by NASA, but this video shows what is actually behind the blurred area.

Before drawing any conclusion please take in consideration that the original images from ESA have been heavily edited and retouched before they were published.
Fact is that these structures are not the result of image compression algorithms.
What you are seeing in this video might not be the actual structures but the digital remainders of structures that are actually present in the untouched images and that ESA failed to remove adequately.

Whistleblower Captain Kaye: ‘I Spent 17 Years Serving on Deep Space Fleet’

Whistleblower Captain Kaye is the author of some fantastic claims about the existence of a secret Space Armada owned and operated by a global organization called the Earth Defense Force.

Having served almost three years aboard an enormous space carrier, Capt. Kaye figured it was disclosure time so he presented his testimony on ExoNews TV. Ditching the pseudonym, Randy Kramer (his real name) revealed that his involvement with covert projects began in 1987, when he was 17 years old.

He would spend the next 17 years on Mars, working as part of the Mars Defense Force (MDF), which was owned by the Mars Colony Corporation (MCC), a conglomerate of banks, governments and tech companies. 

Kramer’s team was drafted from a special section of the U.S. Marines and their mission was to protect the five newly-established martian colonies. His service on Mars ended after his base was obliterated by the war raging against the four different alien species present on the planet at that time.

Kramer’s good standing with the MCC ensured his recruitment into another one of their branch programs, the Earth Defense Force.

He received training on a secret moon base called Lunar Operations Command, as well as on Saturn’s moon Titan and in deep space. The EDF operated three different types of light combat craft and three different types of bombers. 

For interstellar journeys, they employed the use of five giant cigar-shaped carriers that could haul thousands of smaller craft. Kramer served aboard one such carrier called EDF SS Nautilus.

The fleet of space vessels had various propulsion systems, all superior to anything available on Earth at that time. Without getting too technical, Kramer said they used both fission and fusion-powered thrusters, warp drives and anti-gravity technology, all obtained as part of a human-Gray alien pact.

Kramer underlined the importance of keeping the MCC and the EDF secret when he revealed that all communications with Earth were closed during their missions. The danger of a global disclosure would be too high if someone were to pick up their signal.

After serving 20 years in the line of duty, Captain Kaye was honorably discharged. His retirement ceremony took place on the far side of the moon, and was witnessed by multiple high-ranking officials, such as former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

Curiously, Randy Kramer said that his disclosure was actually authorized by top military officers.

It could all be a fabrication dreamed up by Captain Kaye due to his lack of evidence. But, his story is very similar to that of Andrew Basiago, Michael Relfe and others, indicating that they’re all describing the same thing.

If that thing is real, are we to expect a massive disclosure from government and military officials?

Amazing Superpowers from "Superhumans" in real-life

Top 7 Superpowers from "Superhumans" in real-life on Earth Ever that remain unsolved. They're mysterious at first....like telepathy...mind control....electrical control, but science is starting to try to understand them.

Number 7) The Samurai with a Sixth Sense 41 year old Isao Machii is definitely the kind of guy you’d want on your superhero team, although you may want to stand back when he’s making a salad. Known as the Modern Day Samurai, this master swordsman travels around slicing up melons that his audience throws at him. Not impressed at the real life Fruit Ninja? Ok. What about his ability to cleave open a tennis ball flying at him at 400 miles an hour? Or his ability to split an airsoft gun pellet travelling at 170 metres a second using a Katana. Number 6) The Invulnerable Ones Wolverine had adamantium grafted onto his skeleton making him super-tough to destroy, but what if someone was already built like that? In 1994 a man known only as John was involved in a horrific car-wreck. Yet whilst others suffered broken bones and torn flesh, John escaped unharmed aside from small cuts and bruises. Was this down to luck? Not according to the doctor who examined him. He discovered that not only were his bones unbroken, but they were eight times denser than those of an average person. 
Number 5) The Dolphin Guy Remember all those awesome things you saw growing up through the eyes of a child? Fairgrounds, the night sky, your first baseball game? Well Ben Underwood didn’t, that’s because life decided to take his sight when he was only three. So did he sit at home and cry about it? No, because he had no eyes and that’d look kinda weird. Instead he developed an incredible ability to Echolocate. 
Number 4) A Mind Over Matter When my girlfriend tells me I’m incapable of having feelings it’s usually because I’ve forgotten her birthday and I've hooked up with her sister.
When Tim Cridland’s girlfriend tells him this, it’s probably because she’s forced a skewer through his face just for fun.
Tim Cridland feels no pain. Doctors say this is caused by malfunctioning receptors in his brain’s nerve cells, whereas Tim claims a different condition known as Billy Big Balls Syndrome.
He claims to use mind over matter, admitting that he feels pressure and temperature and simply blocks out the pain. His pain threshold has been tested using fire, swords, and even electrocution, and he doesn’t even flinch. 
Number 3) Das Uberboy In 1999 those ever efficient Germans one-upped the world again when a baby was born with muscles you and I can only dream of. Seriously, the only thing more ripped than this little tyke was his mother’s delicate flower after giving birth to this Incredible Pre-Hulk.
Doctors discovered that his shredded appearance was caused by a defective mutation…which doesn’t sound so defective to me, although nobody knows what the long term effects are.
Will he get stronger, will he get weaker? And what caused this in-utero transformation into a literal super-baby. Farmers have attempted to exploit these mutations in cattle to grow gigantic, beefed up cow herds. 
Number 2) Electric One day Ma Xiangang (Ma Xiiiagang) sat down to watch his favourite show when he suffered a horrific tragedy which afflicts all of our lives at some point…his damn TV broke. Xiangang presumably swore in Chinese before attempting to fix the thing, but when he did so his hand unfortunately brushed against a live wire…with precisely zero negative consequences. So obviously he put it down to luck and was more careful for the rest of his days…yeah right.
He touched that wire again, but curiosity spared this cat and still he felt nothing. 
Number 1) Real-Life Telepaths The prevailing caricature of autistic children paints them as emotionally stunted humans with the capability for genius in ways non-autistic humans aren’t capable of. But what is the truth behind this, and how much do we have to blame on Dustin Hoffman’s over-acting in Rain Man? Some researchers believe that telepathy may be an as yet untapped function of the brain which some autistic children have access to.
Recently, Neuropsychiatrist Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell, author of The ESP Enigma: The Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena, has repeatedly demonstrated telepathic mind reading, in closely supervised scientific case studies of severly austic children, with amazingly accurate results. Try searching Google for her and her research, as the conclusions she's come to by performing some pretty well designed and controlled experiments…just like someone with a Ph.D would do are beyond mind-boggling.

Petrified Wooden Tools Buried Deep in Limestone

While quarrying stone in Aix-en-Provence, France, in the late 18th century, workers uncovered what appeared to be a very unusual work site. They had dug through 11 layers of limestone, each separated by a bed of sand mixed with clay, and there they found wooden hammer handles and other wooden tools petrified into agate.

Half-wrought stones were also found with the tools. 

The discovery was recorded by Count Bournon in “Mineralogy.” His account is translated from French to English in the The American Journal of Science and Arts, v.2, 1820 (pages 145–146).  Bournon wrote: “Here then, we have the traces of a work executed by the hand of man, placed at the depth of fifty feet, and covered with eleven beds of compact limestone: everything tended to prove that this work had been executed upon the spot where the traces existed. The presence of man had then preceded the formation of this stone, and that very considerably since he was already arrived at such a degree of civilization that the arts were known to him, and that he wrought the stone and formed columns out of it.”

“The presence of man had then preceded the formation of this stone, and that very considerably since he was already arrived at such a degree of civilization.”

It was long thought that it took millions of years for wood to petrify (turn to stone), but in recent years it has been shown that under special circumstances (being exposed to mineral-rich water, for example) wood may petrify in several years or a few decades.

Glen J. Kuban, a vocal skeptic of a similar find—a hammer discovered in limestone in Texas thought to be some 100 million years old—has said that limestone can form fairly quickly around objects. Concretions, masses of hardened mineral matter, have been known to form around objects from the 20th century.

Did the limestone form around the tools in France in a more recent time or are the tools from a remote age? Were the right circumstances in place to petrify the wooden tools in a shorter period of time, or did the petrification occur over millions of years?

The site in Aix-en-Provence was certainly unusual. The possibility is tantalizing that it could be a work site from a long-lost civilization, far more advanced than a conventional view of history would allow.
