Could someone or
something switch us off? Could it possibly be true that our world is just a
computer program, or a hologram, or a dream? Although it's about the weirdest
thing you could think of, there are some tantalizing clues this might indeed be
the case. The stuff we call 'reality' simply isn?t very real after all.
Welcome to the outskirts of reality. Welcome to the place where theoretical
physics and philosophy meet, and where religion and science loose their meaning.
Better fasten your mental seatbelts. What we?re about to tell you is just too
weird. Too mind-boggling. And quite disturbing, really.
Here we go: the place we call reality may not be real at all.
It may look real, and feel real, and smell real. But if you know where to look,
and you look real close, you can see the cracks. Just like a Hollywood actor
that suddenly realizes he's not surrounded by real buildings -- but by props
made of cardboard paper.
If that sounds like lame
science fiction; I agree. Indeed, we?ve all seen The Matrix. But could such a
thing be conceivable? Could it be true? Are we really here? Or are we, as one
reader of Exit Mundi suggested, only a computer simulation, run by an alien
race?
Perhaps the simulation is getting boring, and the guy running the program is
about to switch it off. We?d see some kind of huge ?game over?-sign, and that
would be it. One moment, we?re here. And the next ? we aren?t.
If
you?re easily disturbed, or prone to paranoia, better stop reading now.
You may not like the answers to questions like these. What you are about to read
may change the way you see things -- forever...
Why is the Universe Fine-Tuned?
First, there?s a very, VERY weird thing about the place we live in ? something
so weird and profound it sends shivers down your spine. For in fact, the
Universe seems to be ?fine-tuned? to make life possible! It has to do with the
stuff most people find boring in school: the laws of physics. Ultimately, all of
these laws are founded upon the ?physical constants?. Such as the force of
gravity, the ?strong force? that glues atomic nuclei together and the
electromagnetic force, the driving hand behind stuff like lightning and
computers. But why do these fundamental ?presets? have the values they have? Why
aren?t they a little bigger, or smaller?

Submitted by Pendekar Timur: The two-headed monsters of myth may have a basis in reality. Two-headed snakes are rare but not unheard of, and one recently found in Spain is giving scientists an opportunity to study how the anomaly affects their ability to hunt and mate. "We hear of one every several years," said Gordon Burghardt, a herpetologist at the University of Tennessee who has studied several two-headed snakes. The snake in Spain, discovered near the village of Pinoso, is a two-m... Read More
A mysterious dip in gravity over Canada has been a weighty topic for some scientists. Now satellite data reveal a thick ice sheet that once cloaked the region partially resolves this so-called gravitational anomaly. Scientists have known that the Hudson Bay region features lower gravity than surrounding areas. While two theories have emerged to explain the strange phenomenon, conclusive evidence has been elusive. One theory involved a change in the area's overlying glacial weight as the Laur... Read More
Over almost three decades, a small laboratory at Princeton University managed to embarrass university administrators, outrage Nobel laureates, entice the support of philanthropists and make headlines around the world with its efforts to prove that thoughts can alter the course of events. But at the end of the month, the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory, or PEAR, will close, not because of controversy but because, its founder says, it is time. The laboratory has conducted studi... Read More
A strange series of lights seen in the sky last week have prompted one group to ask for witnesses to come forward to help fuel the debate on whether we are being watched by beings from outer space. So far two people saw a black triangular craft appear in the sky above Low Road, but the Norfolk UFO Society (NUFOS) feels more people must have seen the mystery in the sky.The Evening News was contacted by one of the witnesses to the anomaly, which happened at 12.20am on August 23. A second man, a ci... Read More
Submitted by Callum Jenson: An author believes he could have unveiled the final resting place of the Holy Grail - buried within the grounds of Lincoln Cathedral. Local man Callum Jensen, 50, who has written two books based on the Da Vinci Code mysteries, believes he has decoded a parchment which reveals its location. He has now requested permission to carry out a search of the grounds using a penetrative radar scan. A cathedral spokesman said the request was currently being processed. Roy Bentha... Read More
D. Lange: The English term “paranormal” is defined as not being in accordance with the known natural or scientific laws. The English suffix “-ologist” denotes someone who studies a field of discipline. The innovative new term, “paranormologist” is perhaps the best way of describing Christopher Chacon. Chacon is considered one of the worlds foremost experts in the scientific exploration of the paranormal (i.e. parapsychological, supernatural and anomalous phenomena). A veteran field investigator/... Read More
