Donald Hoffman — Consciousness, Mysteries Beyond Spacetime, and Waking up from the Dream of Life

Posted by in categories: mathematics, neuroscience, physics

Professor Donald Hoffman is a cognitive neuroscientist and the author of more than 90 scientific papers and three books, including Visual Intelligence and The Case Against Reality.

He is best known for his theory of consciousness, which combines evolutionary theory with mathematics to make a compelling case that the reality we see every day is an illusion created by our minds.

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Stress sensitive neural circuits change the gut microbiome and the duodenal glands.

Precision mapping of a gut-brain circuit w/ functional impact.

Glands in the small intestine (Brunner’s) have GLP-1 receptors, are stress-sensitive, connect to the brain via the vagal nerve, modulate bacterial…

Images from NASA’s DART spacecraft reveal insights into near-Earth asteroid

Posted by in categories: evolution, space

Images that NASA’s DART spacecraft captured of an asteroid moments before it intentionally collided with the object in 2022 have now allowed researchers to gain fresh insights into the celestial bodies.

The slew of studies published this week using data gathered from the asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos are an indication, researchers say, that the DART mission accomplished far more than just proving that potentially dangerous asteroids can be redirected from a trajectory toward Earth.

The findings published Tuesday across five research papers help to characterize the origin, evolution and physical characteristics of the two asteroids, located within 7 million miles of Earth. What the researchers discovered could help scientists better understand binary asteroids, such as Didymos and Dimorphos, in which the smaller body orbits the other.
