HALL OF SHAME OVER SETI. “By the 1970’s, NASA was considering investing significant resources into the field and commissioned a detailed study on a “maximal” radio SETI program, Project Cyclops. The high cost of that vision and the baseless conflation of the endeavor with UFOlogy, science fiction, and tabloid fodder led to political troubles. In 1978 Senator William Proxmire gave the NASA SETI program one of his “Golden Fleece” awards (for “fleecing” the taxpayer for a frivolous project) and successfully ended it.” https://lnkd.in/djnMhU6 View in LinkedIn

EFFECTS ON OOCYTES. “According to previous reports, cell death induction in the oocyte was observed only in the case of microwave exposure and not after exposure to other stress factors as toxic chemicals or food deprivation. Now it is also observed for the first time after extremely low frequency magnetic field exposure.” https://lnkd.in/d38KfZb View in LinkedIn

ONLY SIXTY YEARS. “Modern SETI—now also known as the search for technosignatures—began around 1960.” https://lnkd.in/djnMhU6 View in LinkedIn

EFFECTS ON FLIES. “In the present experiments, the effect of 50-Hz alternating magnetic field on Drosophila melanogaster reproduction was studied...exposed to three different intensities of the extremely low frequency magnetic field (1, 11, and 21 G) continuously during the first 5 days of their adult lives...The magnetic field was found to decrease reproduction by up to 4.3 %. The effect increased with increasing field intensities. The decline in reproductive capacity was found to be due to severe DNA damage (DNA fragmentation) and consequent cell death induction.” https://lnkd.in/d38KfZb View in LinkedIn

SUICIDE CORRELATION. “The number of Japanese suicides per month from January 1999 to December 2010 was obtained, and it was found that a total of 262,596 males and 102,539 females committed suicide during this period. In this study, we generated a hypothesis that geomagnetic disturbances may trigger male suicides.” https://lnkd.in/dRE4Ywv View in LinkedIn

GEOMAGNETIC STORMS positively correlated with suicides. https://lnkd.in/dCrcwYH View in LinkedIn

CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS. “One study observed that in years of peak GMS activity, patients admitted for myocardial infarction increased 25 per cent; other studies have reported a similar relationship, accounting for a 5 per cent increase in mortality in maximal solar years. Moreover, these epidemiological studies are supported by evidence from both human and animal physiological studies that reveal changes to blood pressure and HRV in relation to geomagnetic disturbances.” (GMS = geomagnetic storms). http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2012/03/12/rspb.2012.0324.short View in LinkedIn

VESTIGIAL SENSE. “There is evidence suggesting that such a magnetosense—or at least the vestiges of it—may exist in humans.” http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2012/03/12/rspb.2012.0324.short View in LinkedIn
