Scientists Find 2,700-year-old marijuana in Chinese tomb

submited by grrow in World

Researchers say they have located the world’s oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China. The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly ``cultivated for psychoactive purposes,” rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

China's dark side: Body fishing job

Wei Jinpeng is a fisher of dead people. He scans the river about 18 miles from Lanzhou, China, for cadavers, drags them to shore with a small boat and then charges grieving families to recover their relatives’ corpses. It is a thriving business. From his perch on an overhang above the Yellow River, Wei Jinpeng pointed to a fisherman’s cove below and began counting his latest catch. He stopped after six and guessed that perhaps a dozen human corpses were bobbing in the murky waters.

Vadim Chernobrov & Russian secrets experiments with time machines

Russian author Gennady Belimov published an article in which he described experiments led by Vadim Chernobrov, the inventor of a time machine in 1987. Chernobrov claims his machine can slow or speed up the course of time by tinkering with the Earth’s magnetic field. His biggest success was the slowing of time for 1.5 seconds. One of the problems remote viewers have is acquiring time lines for future or past events that they examine. For example, a viewer might foresee a major catastrophe like a volcanic eruption, airplane crash or hurricane, but pinning down an exact moment when it will occur is extremely difficult. To deal with this problem, Aaron C. Donahue spent years developing an advanced form of viewing, which he calls the acquisition and practical application of non-historical data.

Electric Cannabis Car From Canada

Hemp grown by Innovates Technology Futures (AITF) ends up on a production line, where it is turned into a composite material that has the impact resistance of fiberglass. But unlike fiberglass, the hemp bio-composite is cheaper to produce and has fewer health risks connected with its manufacture. It is also significantly lighter than glass-based composites traditionally used in racing cars.

Password crackers have a surprising secret weapon

Graphics processing units are powerful enough to conduct quick, effective brute-force attacks on password-protected systems. The researchers pointed out that GPUs have been amped-up over the years to handle increasingly sophisticated computer games, and in the process have achieved the power of a mini-supercomputer.

The rise of Beijing experimental music scene

The definition of “experimental music” differs as much between the community as the sounds constructed within its parameters. Experiments are operated through hypothesis, application, verification and conclusion. Can`t say it is a good or bad music, but there are many successful or failing experiments.Noise, sound and melody are all equal, While you can never be sure of the end result, it’s always fresh, vital and ultimately defines itself.
