Lame Bitch

hey as a neuroscience major and someone who wants to study and research the human consciousness in the future, this post was a must!

MIND OVER MATTER

scientists convince people their hands are rocks

lying on a bed of nails without injury

many people in one body

yogi nearly stops heartbeat

curing cancer just by thinking you are cured?

Alright that’s all I got so far guys! Be sure to check back on my science section because as we progress further and further and have amazing cool new things, I’ll have new posts with more information :)

This alien looking geyser on the edge of Black Rock Desert is actually man made. Man made by accident, that is. There are actually two geysers on the property. The first was created nearly 100 years ago as part of an effort to make a part of the desert usable for farming. A well was drilled and geothermal boiling water (200 degrees) was hit. 

Obviously not suitable for irrigation water, this geyser was left alone and a 10 to 12 foot calcium carbonate cone formed. In 1964 a geothermic energy company drilled a test well at the same site. The water they struck was that same 200 degrees. Hot, but not hot enough for their purposes. The well was supposedly re-sealed, but apparently it did not hold. The new geyser, a few hundred feet north of the original, robbed the first of its water pressure and the cone now lays dry.

This second geyser, known as Fly Geyser, has grown substantially in the last 40 years as minerals from the geothermal water pocket deposit on the desert surface. The geyser is covered with thermophilic algae, which flourishes in moist, hot environments, resulting in the multiple hues of green and red that add to its out-of-this-world appearance. (Source)

Inside the bizarre Bangkok aircraft graveyard where families live among the decaying passenger jets and survive by collecting and selling scrap metal 

This is the bizarre aircraft graveyard which is situated in the heart of Thailand’s capital Bangkok. But more unusually, the hulking remains of the former passenger jets are several families who have made their homes inside the cavernous holds of the jumbo jets. With the high rise skyscrapers of downtown Bangkok looming in the background, these three families eke out an existence amid the ruined aircraft. The three families began living in the jets because they were unable to afford to rent anything in the area. Instead, they collect and recycle rubbish and scrap metal earning just a few dollars every day.

Here are pictures of a windowless airplane concept.

In 1970, the Danish designer Verner Panton was commissioned by Bayer AG to create the interior landscape Visiona 2, one of the most radical visions of the future in twentieth-century design.
