    Hard Triangle
AI Thread Summary
The discussion touches on various intriguing topics, including the investigation of anomalies related to gamma rays and high-energy particles. It references historical instances of civilization abandonment, such as the Anasazi and Mayans, linking these events to potential widespread famine. The conversation shifts to the "hard problem" of consciousness, highlighting the delayed effects of SSRIs on brain chemistry despite immediate biochemical changes. Additionally, there is speculation about gas venting as a possible explanation for ship sinkings in the Bermuda Triangle. The overall tone reflects a fascination with both fringe and established scientific concepts.

Re: first impression
Just glanced through the topics here, they all seem interesting, and I'll go through them all in detail later, what the about incredible anomolies awaiting credible investigation?

moon some sort of gamma ray or high energy particle interaction maybe?

Anasazi, this is probably not the only instance of peoples abandoning civilisations, this is precisely what happened to the Mayans who returned to the jungle tribal existence from whence they came after, it is suggested, widespread famine, very difficult to find evidence of famine. The Aztecs are reported to have sacrificed 50,000 people in one day to assuage the sun gods anger and return fertility to their lands.

The hard problem: where does conciousness come from: is a philosophical and theroretical nightmare for psychologists and neuropharmacologists alike, an example of the scale of the problem: Selective Seratonin Re-uptake Inhibitors(SSRI's i.e Prozac) take 3-5 weeks to have any noticible effect, but the brain chemistry of a depressed person on SSRI's and non depressed person without any medication after just a few hours are identicle, so why's it take 3 weeks to have any conscious effect?

as I said will comment more seriously when I've read them.

yeah that gas venting is a sugestion for the ship sinkings in the Bermuda triangle.

Thanks for this stuff, I like fringe, non fringe physics whatever you wanta call it

Stuff and - nonsense?

Anyone got any ideas about the hard problem it's a subject that fascinates me.

perception is the clouding of reality surely :smile:
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
