Major Events and Predictions Surrounding 2012: Top 5 Facts and Theories

Admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 02:28:27 +0000

It is true that one of the most eventful years, probably in the modern history, is going to be the year of 2012 with many scientific, natural, political, historical and theoretical propositions floating around the media. It is even more amazing that when asked many people respond that they cannot wait to see how the year unfolds, while there are a wide range of major scientific, political and social events planned for the year 2012.

Major Events and Proditions of 2012

Major Events and Predictions Surrounding 2012

There are those who love real life drama but there are also those who love real life facts and some of these painful facts for 2012 doomsday fanatics are listed as follows.

5. Politically Eventful Year of 2012

The US elections are due anytime and so is the Iranian parliamentary election. Kenyan, Serbian, South Korean, Switzerland, and Ghana are also preparing for presidential elections. In sports there will be Olympics and the Euro 2012 soccer/football tournament that will be watch by billions around the world.

4. Threats Facing Earth From Space

It is amazing how many space theories have been theorized to finally pose threats to the Earth in 2012. Threats from a flying comet to a large size planet hitting the earth are just a few of such end of the world propositions. Right or wrong, however, most scientists agree that there is nothing hitting earth in the year 2012 for a good while beyond.

3. Famous Nibiru Planet

This is what happened, someone who loved science fiction created a story of a planet discovered by Sumerians known as Nibiru and it was headed towards earth as on of the predictions surrounding 2012. The problem is that, there is no planet known as Nibiru but there is a dwarf planet known as Eris. It is said that the closest point Eris will ever come near earth is 4 billion miles of distance away. Therefore, there is no such thing as Nibiru and there is no Eris hitting earth any time soon.

2. Galactic Alignment Prediction

It is not yet clear which galactic alignment people are referring to since there will be no planetary alignments for the next few decades. If there has to be an alignment that can be seen in the near future is one that occurs every December between the earth and the sun at the center of our solar system.

1. Mayan Calendar a Major Predictions Surrounding 2012

Mayan Calendar is probably the most talked about prediction surrounding 2012. Essentially the beginning of this calendar is similar to what people usually are used to on December 31^st of every year, where they do the countdown before the clock strikes 12.00 a.m. and scream, HAPPY NEW YEAR! But what makes the Mayan Calendar different is the fact that it was very very accurate for its time: 5000 years ago. What makes this the Mayan prediction special is that not only the Mayan Calendar extremely accurate, it also predicted the Galactic year as well as solar year very precisely. For this reason people who think end of the world is coming soon, believe that it has to be on December 21, 2012 because that’s when the Mayan Calendar enters a new year through the coming of a new galactic year.

The only thing that demands explanation is if the world is ending this year. Maybe, the Mayan calendar is right or some of the Nostradamus predictions on 2012 will com true… if they are then we should be looking for some food crisis survival guide, until we find out.

Top 10 Reasons Why SOPA and PIPA Laws Are Unjustified and Harmful

Admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:02:49 +0000

Many websites and organizations are now protesting against the newly proposed bills SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act) introduced to the United States House of Representatives by Lamar S. Smith Chairman of House Judiciary Committee on October 26, 2011. Thousands of Major Websites like Wikipedia, Reddit and Natural News blacked out their pages for a 24 hour protest period against the eventual passing of these two bills into law by the American congress.

If passed these two bills allow the government of the United States to block any website, which falls outside of the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act boundaries. These Acts are unjustified, flawed and destructive to the nature of the Internet and freedom of speech.

SOPA and PIPA Laws Are Unjustified

Top 10 Reasons Why SOPA and PIPA Are Unjustified

In this article we will summarize some of the (most important) top 10 reasons why SOPA and PIPA Acts are unjustified and should be stopped.

10. Power of a Vague Statement

In section 105 of this bill it states that any website which has the potential to “endanger public health” can also be affected. What the government is proposing in essence is that any website which puts forward an alternative view to that of the government or government-run corporations inclusive of food, lifestyle, travel and general well-being falls under its control. This simple statement encompasses a very large number of websites like NaturalNews.com under its umbrella, which can then will be labeled as “dangerous,” – a label that will finally allow the government to them down despite of the massive popularity of such websites.

9. It is Definition not Intention

The governmental defenders of SOPA and PIPA try to convince the general public that these laws are only “intended” for the “worst of the worst”. However, it should be noted that it is not the “intention” of a bill that will compromise the Internet but it is the “Definition” of it that has given the excessive powerful to the government and government agencies to shut down any websites deemed “dangerous” “unhealthy” or “in violation.”

8. SOPA and PIPA Affect Everyone Worldwide

SOPA and PIPA will severely inhibit everyone’s ease of access to online information. This is not a problem that will eventually affect not only the residence of the United States, but also the citizens of every country around world as the power of information will fall under the sole elite within the control of certain corporations, the central government and lobbyists.

7. SOPA and PIPA Poorly Drafted

Unfortunately these two bills are drafted in a very poor and unjust way, which many opposition groups argue will not be successful at what it is supposed to achieve. While these bills will potentially fail “to stop copyright infringement” they are certainly meant to also cause harm to the foundation the Internet as a whole.

6. Cause for Major Internet Damage

The whole basis and structure of internet is based on the free flow of information, its openness to the general public and its effectiveness in passing valuable information around the globe is unparallel in the human history. If this Law is passed the whole basis and foundation of Internet will be controlled by a few and will be compromised for all.

5. User Contributed Sites Are Affected

User contributed sites like Reddit, which have been acting as such a powerful force in portraying and passing major news topics, which are largely absent from mainstream media can be shut down with a push of a button.

4. Social Media Endangered

Social Media websites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and the flow of free information within these sites could possibly fall in danger of this act. Social Media sites live on the content, which their users or subscribers produce on daily basis. Millions of content and links are posted on a social media site like Facebook and it is literally impossible and preposterous to impose the SOPA as a Law with such an outcome.

3. Few Judges Decide Fate of Internet: Shocking

A few judges could eventually decide the fate of the foundation of the internet and freedom of speech with respect to SOPA. This is not a viable and trustable avenue. Having the internet literally filtered by those in power is a decision that – if it must –should be made by the general public representatives, with numerous experts and open debates as well as the people themselves.

2. These Laws Create Doubt

The information on the Web will be untrustable and will lose its neutral and unbiased characteristic. Millions of websites could be taken down, while only those will survive that pass the government “filter.” This will substantially damage the image of the Internet as a neutral source of information, while millions of users will lose their trust on what has been made available to them.

1. Freedom of Speech Compromised

Freedom of speech! Freedom of speech! Freedom of speech! The internet is the only source, which we can confidently say – at least for now – that is “for the people and by the people”. The proposition and passing of these laws will, with no compromise the very basic nature of freedom of speech online. Websites with opposing point of view to that of the mainstream will be in full risk of being shut down. Websites with opposing point of view to that of the mainstream will be in full risk of being shut down. The passing of this law is the Matrix working with full force.

Top 10 Most Interesting Facts to Impress Anyone: Random but Fun

Admin — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 03:16:10 +0000

People love top 10 most interesting facts that are just as random as crazy, I love them too. It is proven that top 10 facts are easier to be remembered than long pages of boring descriptions or information. So if you want to learn or if you want to impress anyone just break up any subject into a top 10 list and you will remember and learn much easier and for a longer time. That is why we’re sure you will remember at least some of the interesting facts below and we will add more interesting lists like the one below soon. But hey don’t forget to share them with your friend on Facebook or Twitter. Enjoy!

Top 10 Most Interesting Facts to Impress Anyone

That being said here are some top 10 facts that you probably didn’t know before. Enjoy!

1. Most Shoplifted Book of All Time

Who would have thought that the Bible is most shoplifted book of all times? Not only that, it is the most edited book of all times. There are thousands of different versions and translations of this book around the world. This is while no originals actually exist in Aramaic, which was the Hebrew dialect spoken by Jesus himself. The most ancient copy of this book is known to be present as Greek translations of the 3rd and 4th centuries.

2. More Likely To Die In Accident than to Win Lottery

You have heard that that’s more likely to be hit by lightening than to win the lottery. But let’s take it a step further. You are statistically more likely to die on your way to buy a lottery ticket than to actually win it… strange ha? Well it’s true! You know what I would personally give it up; chances that you actually win the lottery are very very slim. Don’t waste your money. Period!

3. What Causes Knuckle Crack Sound

The sound that you hear when you crack your knuckles is the sound of gas bubbles bursting between the joint of your bones. The popping or cracking sound is caused when these gases are quickly released from your knuckle capsule thus your joint is able to stretch as much as the space previously occupied by these gases and this usually gives you a stretched feeling.

4. Jellyfish Evaporate in the Sun

This is very simple but Jellyfish consist of over 98% water. Other interestingly crazy facts about jellyfish is that most of them do not have a brain or what we call a nervous system but control their bodies with a network of nerves that are loose.

5. Sound Travels Faster in Water

The denser the travel the medium the faster the speed of sound. In a room temperature air (around 20°C) sound travels roughly at a speed of 340 meters per second or in other words covers a distance of around 1 kilometer at every 3 seconds. But how fast does it travel in water? Sound travels nearly 4.3 times faster in water than in air at a speed of 1,484 meters per second. But wait it even travels faster in ice than water!

6. Weight of a Blue Whale Tongue

Blue Whales are the biggest animals on the planet Earth. They are simply huge, massive and enormous. But can you guess how much the tongue of an adult blue whale weighs? On average it weights between 2 to 3 tones. How much is that relatively? It is as much as the weight of an adult Elephant. You read it correctly. The weight of a Blue Whale’s tongue could be as much as an adult elephant.

7. Ancient Egyptians Birth Control Method

Not to many people would want to touch or even come close to a Crocodile but the ancient Egyptians used its feces as a method of contraception. The original of this practice is thought to have been due to the fact that the Croc was depicted an Egyptian god named Seth, who was believed to be linked to all the miscarriages.

8. Strength of Human Bones

The human bones are very strong but stronger than steel? Are they? Well depends! “Mild” steel has a strength of 20,000 psi (pounds per square inch) and human bone has a strength of about 20,000 psi, but our bones are about 5 times lighter than steel. Engineeringly speaking human bones are stronger than mild steel on bases of weight.

9. Genders of Oysters

Oysters can change from male to female. It is interesting that all Oysters start their lives as males and after one year they can transform to the female sex. This transformation period may take up to three years when the majority of Oysters are turned into the opposite sex.

10. Who Invented the Coke Drink: Top of Most Interesting Facts

On top of our list of most interesting facts is the question of who really invented the drink that we know today as “Coke”? Archaeologists have found a recipe from the ancient Egyptians that is almost identical to our today’s recipe of Coke. So basically we can say that the Egyptians were the inventors of Coke over 3000 years ago. We know they performed complicated brain surgeries and produced electricity…. Yes! the ancient Egyptians did produce electricity, but really who would have thought that they used to drink Cola? isn’t that one of the most interesting facts you have ever heard?
