The Tomb of Jesus exposed for the first time in Centuries!

The uncovering of the most revered relic of the Christian world for the first time in centuries, has once again given rise to a discourse surrounding the existence of Jesus Christ and the origin of Christianity.

 

 

 

Archaeologists have uncovered the original surface of the tomb of Jesus Chirst where, according to Christian tradition, Jesus’ body had been traditionally buried, National Geographic reported.

This was part of a massive restoration project initiated by National Technical University of Athens at Jerusalem's Church of Holy Sepulchre. 

 

"I'm absolutely amazed. My knees are shaking a little bit because I wasn't expecting this”, Fredrik Hiebert, an archaeologist with the National Geographic Society which is also involved in the excavations.

The tomb of Jesus, also known as the Holy Edicule, as per archeologists, consisted of a burial bed or a shelf that had been carved out of a limestone cave. This had been sealed with a protective marble casing since 1555 A.D. reportedly to stop pilgrims from collecting fragments of the original stone as souvenirs.

 

Initially, researchers found a layer of fill material lying beneath the marble cladding, which when removed, exposed another marble slab with a cross adorning its surface.

Only when the team was about to re-seal the slab, some 60 hours after the finding of the second marble layer, that the original limestone surface of the burial bed was uncovered, the National Geographic report states.

 

First identified as a holy place in 326 A.D, the Church of Holy Sepulchre, every year attracts more than 4 million devotees.

 

As the story goes, the Christian Roman emperor Constantine’s mother, Helena, while in Jerusalem initiated an excavation on the spot where Christ was said to have been crucified and eventually buried.

In the course of the excavation, the orthodox tradition claims, that along with Jesus’ tomb, three more crosses and some iron nails had been found. And, to find out the exact cross on which Jesus had been crucified, each of the crosses were held over corpses that were about to be buried.

As a result of this exercise, one of the corpses was awakened, thus revealing the “true cross”.

Over time, this shrine has repeatedly been targeted; so much so, that in the early 1800s it was at the verge of destruction due to fire.

 

 

Despite efforts to damage and destroy it, the discovery confirmed the unsullied condition of the tomb. Hidden and protected beneath the marble casings, the shrine once exposed has rewarded both archaeological researchers and Christian believers, a chance to unearth the truth, quite literally.

 

 

Experts still hold doubts over whether or not this tomb actually belongs to Jesus Christ. Contrary to Constantine’s church representatives who determined which cross belonged to Jesus via miraculous exploits, archaeologically, there exists a possibility that this tomb could also have belonged to another Jew known as the Jesus of Nazareth, states the National Geographic report.

Jodi Magness, an archaeologist reasoned, "All of this is perfectly consistent with what we know about how wealthy Jews disposed of their dead in the time of Jesus".

 

Some scholars even debate upon the very existence of Christ, often attributing it to be a mere literary construct.

Large Hadron Collider Finishes 2016 Proton Run

First post for a while so why not start with some Hadron information!

 

The Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has completed its 2016 proton run. In a statement released Tuesday 1st November, CERN stated that the LHC (the world’s largest particle accelerator) surpassed its luminosity target during this year’s run, which began in May.

 

Luminosity, measured in inverse femtobarns, is a measure of the total number of proton-proton collisions. One inverse femtobarn corresponds to roughly 100 trillion collisions.

In its 2016 run, the LHC achieved luminosity of 40 inverse femtobarns — much higher than the initial target of 25 inverse femtobarns.

In the final weeks of the collider’s proton run, the researchers dialed down its luminosity to study a phenomenon known as “elastic scattering” wherein two protons survive their encounter intact, without colliding head on, with only a slight change in their direction. Elastic scattering cannot be observed during normal, “high luminosity” LHC runs, when protons are more likely to crash into each other and create new particles.

 

Scientists hoped that observing this process would provide them vital clues to how quarks are distributed within protons.

 

While the latest run of the LHC yielded more precise measurements of processes falling within the ambit of the Standard Model, a framework that describes three of the four known fundamental forces and provided observations of the famous Higgs boson at the unprecedented energy of 13 teraelectronvolts, it drew a blank insofar as the search for new particles is concerned.

 

In particular, a tantalizing “bump” in 2015 data at 750 gigaelectronvolts, which had been previously detected by the ATLAS and CMS detectors, did not resurface in the much larger 2016 dataset, suggesting that it was, in all probability, the result of a statistical fluctuation.

 

“We're just at the beginning of the journey,” CERN Director-General Fabiola Gianotti said in a statement released in August. “The superb performance of the LHC accelerator, experiments and computing bode extremely well for a detailed and comprehensive exploration of the several TeV energy scale, and significant progress in our understanding of fundamental physics.”

Gumby Gumby, The next natural miracle drug?

So what is "Gumby, Gumby" I hear you ask with one eye brow raised.. Well it's something that I have recently come across and think it deserves to get more exposure than it currently has.

Gumby Gumby is a rare member of the botanical family
Pittosporum. It is a shrub or small tree native to
Australia. Gumby Gumby or Gumbi Gumbi was the name
given to one particular variety, Pittosporum
Phylliraeoides, by the Aborigines.

These trees are drought and frost resistant with a deep
root and have an erect form growing 7 to 8 meters in
height. The most common of these has a blackbutt.
They thrive in good soil and like plenty of water. They
will survive in most soil types.

Gumby Gumby and Cancer

Hundreds of test cases have substantiated that 

Gumby Gumby is highly effective in treating many 

forms of cancer, from those in the initial stages of 

development right through to terminal situations. In 

many cases the regular taking of Gumby Gumby has 

been very supportive in the recovery from these 

cancers and ongoing treatment has kept recurrence of 

the disease at bay. Whilst tests to date have only 

been successful in some forms of cancer, there is no 

reason to believe that Gumby Gumby would not be 

extremely beneficial for all cancer sufferers.

However, there is no claim from medical researchers 

yet, that Gumby Gumby is a proven alternative to 

current medical cancer treatments. It is however, 

without doubt, complimentary and beneficial.

Gumby Gumby Medical Use and Benefits

Research and tests have shown that the Gumby Gumby

contains Saponins, Tannins and Flavonoids. Saponins

have many health benefits. Studies have illustrated the 

beneficial effects on blood cholesterol levels, cancer,

bone health and stimulation of the immune system.

Some of the activities attributed to flavonoids and

tannin include: anti-allergic, anti-cancer, antioxidant,

anti-inflammatory and anti-viral. In the past few years

tannins have also been studied for their potential effects

against cancer through different mechanisms.

Gumby Gumby appears to have the following 

properties: anti-pruritic, anti-spasmodic, anti-viral and 

detoxification and galactagogue, and it has shown to 

improve circulation, blood pressure regulation and 

boosting of the immune system.

Gumby Gumby has been reported to assist in the 

treatment of:

Cancer

Emphysema

Meniere's Disease

Haemorrhoids

Chronic Psoriasis

Chronic Eczema

Skin Disorders

Diverticulosis

Angina

Chronic Fatigue

Vein Conditions

Acne

Skin Repair

Cramps

Depressions

Anti Convulsan

Big Bang theory could be debunked by Large Hadron Collider

Scientists at Cern could prove the controversial theory of ‘rainbow gravity’ which suggests that the universe stretches back into time infinitely, with no Big Bang.

The detection of miniature black holes by the Large Hadron Collider could prove the existence of parallel universes and show that the Big Bang did not happen, scientists believe.

The particle accelerator, which will be restarted this week, has already found the Higgs boson – the God Particle – which is thought to give mass to other particles.

Now scientists at Cern in Switzerland believe they might find miniature black holes which would reveal the existence of a parallel universe.

Aging space probe records odd emanations on Mercury

NASA released a batch of bizarre sound recordings and video from the Messenger spacecraft moments before it impacted the surface of Mercury. Scientists are struggling to decipher what the data mean, but some contend they sound like human voices crying out in agony.

Messenger had been orbiting Mercury since 2011, but it used up nearly all of its propellant and was drifting closer to the surface of the planet. So last week, NASA officials decided to point the probe nose downward for a controlled crash. “We were hoping it would kick up some soot for spectroscopic analysis,” says Messenger Principal Investigator Angra Mainyu, a planetary scientist at Columbia University. Just what it did find instead is not entirely clear.

Chile’s Villarica Volcano Erupts!

Volcano "Villarica" in Southern Chile has erupted in spectacular style.

It erupted around 3am (5pm AEDT), according to the National Emergency Office, which issued a red alert and ordered evacuations.

The eruption prompted the evacuation of thousands of people in and around the surrounding area.

Local media showed images of the volcano bursting at the top, tossing laving and heavy smoke into the air.  

Villarica is one of South America’s most active volcanoes. The 2847-metre volcano in Chile’s central valley, 670 kilometres south of Santiago, and sits above the small city of Pucon.

Tourists flock there for outdoor activities, including hiking around the volcano, which last had a major eruption in 1984.

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet announced that she will travel to the volcano-hit area and asked residents to remain calm.

Chilean authorities had issued an orange alert on Monday because of increased activity at the volcano.

The white dwarf acting as a magnifying glass in space

Astronomers have observed a white dwarf, a dense, compact, burnt-out star acting as a magnifying glass for another star that it is orbiting.

Nature reports that physicists Ethan Kruse and Eric Agol from the University of Washington in Seattle, noticed an increase of 0.1 per cent in the larger star’s brightness every 88 days that lasted for 5 hours.

 Using data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft they observed that the star’s gravitational effect was acting like a magnifying glass every time it crossed the line of sight between the other star and Earth, leading to an increase in the star’s overall brightness.

Watch the white dwarf in action and see why astronomers are excited by this outer space phenomenon.

26 atom-bomb-scale asteroid impacts since the year 2000

At a press conference on April 22nd at the Museum of Flight, three prominent astronauts supporting the B612 Foundation presented a visualization of new data showing evidence for 26 atom-bomb-scale asteroid impacts since 2000. The evidence comes from recently released data from the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization, which operates a network of sensors that monitors Earth around the clock listening for the infrasound signature of nuclear detonations.

 Between 2000 and 2013, this network detected 26 explosions on Earth ranging in energy from 1 to 600 kilotons — all caused not by nuclear explosions, but rather by asteroid impacts. To put that in perspective, the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945 exploded with an energy impact of 15 kilotons.
