Why do some people have below-average IQ?
In seeking to understand variations in human intelligence, we should explore scientific findings pointing to the biological roots of Intelligence Quotient (IQ). This intriguing landscape reveals that various brain characteristics, from genetic polymorphisms to structural organization, contribute to disparities in IQ. Smaller brains marked by inefficient neural arrangements are associated with lower IQ. Brain dimensions, […]

Growing Out of the Past as a Seed for the Future
By Simon Olling Rebsdorf Introduction of Hope The above indication of the year (02018) is not flawed. It tests the possible effect of denoting years not in thousands, but in tens of thousands, in that way indirectly installing a potential hope for imagining a future much further away than we usually tend to think about. […]
Magic of Tut-Ankh-Amun
By Robert Brizel Most people presume that when the tomb of an ancient Egyptian Pharoah is excavated, that that the tomb was especially built for the deceased king. Contrary to public belief, the tomb of the great King Tut-Ankh-Amun was not meant for the deceased young king at all, despite all of the riches and […]
Beyond Consciousness
Thanks to Darwin, we understood that the human being, cousin of the monkey, had a history, that it is the fruit of an evolution. The concept of history, through the concept of evolution, could apply to the life in general, whereas it was limited until there to the development and the decline of human civilizations, […]
Manifesto of the Manifest
By Laurent Dubois Teasing 2500 years ago, my “Socrates” form said: “Know yourself”.My “Socrates” form applied to my other human forms.Now, I’m aware that this sentence applies to myself as a whole;I can’t say “I’m the universe aware of itself” because that would confirm the classical distinction between the observer and the observed thing; not […]
Time Travel, Logic and Speculation II
By Laurent Dubois In the first article, the infinite oscillation of being in the “grandfather paradox” led us to the conclusion that the “grandfather paradox”, the “paradox of knowledge” and the “sensibility to the initial or final conditions” or “temporal butterfly effect” constituted 3 variations of one and the same paradox. In order to solve […]
Time Travel, Logic and Speculation
By Laurent Dubois What’s the logical point of view on the possibility of the time travel at will to whatever time of the relative past or future, with or without machine? The analysis will be essentially dedicated to the assumption of the travel in the future because its possibility seems less obvious than that of […]
Temporal Collision Conjecture
By Laurent Dubois The question of the determination of a privileged time’s arrow tickles the neurons of the most brilliant scientists, writers and philosophers since about 150 years. Let’s show a surprising and frightening possible consequence of the absence of an absolute time’s arrow, all the more frightening that totally unpredictable! Prelude: Origin of time […]
Too Heavy, Man!
By Michael Dempsey Heres an interesting thought:Imagine you are sitting in an small to average sized bar or a spacious lounge. Lets say its dimensions are 10M long x 3M high x 6M wide. If you could compress all the air in the room down to say, something like a shoe-box, could you pick it […]
