The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
Physicist claims he has cracked time travel. https://www.earth.com/news/astrophysicist-says-hes-cracked-the-equation-for-time-travel/ Have we learned nothing at all? Before galavanting through time, we need to ask the philosophical and timey-wimey questions. What happens if you accidentally...- Tiki Tom

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
Well. After much investigation of this topic, I think there is something to it. There does seem to be a connection between consciousness and “reality”. That said, the influence, though statistically significant, seems to be pretty weak. Additionally, it is generally hard to make predictions...- Tiki Tom

Evidence of ancient human megalithic stonework in Canada? Strange location, to be sure. Hidden in plain sight. The whole thing definitely looks out of place. Probably a natural formation (?) but it is intriguing.- Tiki Tom

Just finished The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Actually, it was pretty good. Did not think I’d like it, but after a couple of chapters, I got into the spirit of the thing. Tolkien was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, and The Hobbit reads a little like a myth or legend from the dark ages...- Tiki Tom

This article points out that the CIA once flat out denied that it had ever engaged in mind-control experiments (false). So why should we believe the DOD report that says they are as innocent as angels? But where does that leave us average citizens? I guess a degree of skepticism towards the...- Tiki Tom

Still a little surprised by the Mr Darcy phenomenon. Amazing how there is a full blown cult about him, and women still swoon when you mention his name. Latest funny news on that topic, which I saw today… https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68415018- Tiki Tom

DOD report says “we are not hiding anything.” Here is where we have to decide: Are you a “UFO Nut” or are you going to believe the Pentagon? Are you a UFO conspiracy theorist? Or do you believe the Men in Black? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/08/pentagon-ufo-report-hiding-aliens...- Tiki Tom

Well, it DOES seem like they are a significant step closer to resurrecting the woolly mammoth. (or elephants that are genetically very similar to woolly mammoths, if you want to nit pick.) Interesting how they will make them mostly tusk free to mitigate the risk of ivory poaching. Still… I...- Tiki Tom

Oh, good lord. This is a F.L.A.S.K. wet dream come true! Lost Spanish Treasure. There are dumpster loads of it yet to be found. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/spanish-shipwreck-caribbean-gold-treasure-found-b2505134.html- Tiki Tom

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Plenty of tongue in cheek humor in Elizabeth Bennet’s dialogue. Some subtle making fun of the upper crust class system. Still, the plot boils down to getting your daughters well married, as that was the only...- Tiki Tom

You know, you're in old Germany, when...
Decades ago, I took part in a NATO exercise in Germany. Without getting too much into politics, I am curious what The average German (if there is such a thing) thinks about the current situation. Are they concerned about the possibility of a wider war? Or is it viewed as an Exaggerated scenario?- Tiki Tom

Amelia Earhart May Have Survived Crash-Landing
Yes. Like the Woman in the article, I also find it a little odd that, after so many decades, the image seems to show an aircraft that is almost completely intact. As they say, the only way to know for sure will be to send a submersible down for a closer look and to maybe retrieve a piece of...- Tiki Tom

Pretty incredible… A centuries old shipwreck has mysteriously washed ashore on the Newfoundland coast. And, judging by the photo, it appears to be relatively intact. Perhaps one of those legendary ghost ships has finally beached itself...- Tiki Tom

Anyone else interested in the ancient world?
Fascinating! The Romans mastered the skill of making concrete. Then, after the fall of Rome, that technology was lost for 1,000 years. And it was only rediscovered in the fifteenth century when an old Roman document containing the formula was found…...- Tiki Tom
