The 2019 Undoing Aging Conference will again include poster sessions

Posted by in category: life extension

In addition, a small number of posters will be selected for oral presentation.


Poster topics should lie within the scope of the conference: Research contributing to the eventual postponement of age-related decline in health, with an emphasis on measures that repair damage rather than slowing its creation. Poster submissions are due on January 31, 2019.

To submit your poster go to:

Reimagining Education in the Exponential Age

Posted by in categories: education, Ray Kurzweil, space

The future of humanity will be radically different than what we see today. As Ray Kurzweil put it, “We won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century—it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today’s rate).” We’ll have the potential to live on Mars, connect our minds to machines, and access an abundance of resources.

But is our youth prepared to live in such a world? Are we equipping them with the skills and values necessary to be adaptable, innovative, and purpose-driven in such a world?

Our traditional, industrial-era educational models are simply outdated. What is required is not an incremental change in education, but rather an entire overhaul of the current system. It will take creative imagination to develop new models for 21st-century education.

NASA Engineers Basically Jiggled The Hubble Telescope to Fix Its Recent Problem

Posted by in categories: energy, space

After a gyroscope failure put the Hubble Space Telescope out of action on October 5, NASA engineers finally see an end to its troubles. They have its backup gyroscope operating within a normal range and expect science operations to resume imminently.

The space telescope entered a low-power safe mode in early October, suspending science operations while engineers here on Earth diagnosed, then attempted to fix the problem.

At maximum efficiency, Hubble uses three gyroscopes for orienting itself to observe a target in the sky. These gyros measure the speed at which the telescope turns, so that it can be aimed accurately.

We Now Have Evidence That Supermassive Black Holes Could Be Spectacularly Colliding Across The Universe

Posted by in category: cosmology

Scientists have previously suspected supermassive black holes can merge together, and have seen signs of these cosmic collisions on a smaller scale. Now new research backs up the hypothesis – and shows evidence that it could be happening all across the Universe.

Astronomers studying detailed radio maps of jet sources – powerful beams of ionised matter thrown out by black holes – have found a surprisingly high number of scenarios that matched patterns consistent with binary black holes (two black holes orbiting each other).

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin ship to be used for rocket landings docked at Port of Pensacola

Posted by in category: space travel

The Port of Pensacola has a 600-foot visitor that will soon be a landing platform for rockets, but questions remain as to why it is there and for how long it will remain.
