This amused me when I read it, I have been listening to Bob & Ion for the past 5
years,some of it is brilliant, some interesting and some as Ripley would say believe
it or not.Some of the first concepts were, we are all individual gods in our own
reality, and as such human ( gods) speech (voice box) is the essence of all creation
and there is no such think as time just one gigantic now, where past present and
future exist in a loop. So a couple of articles this morning on Davids site caught my
eye and gave me something to mull over.......
Last sat/sun show 19 hrs long of music, discussion and general fun and chaos all
somehow held together loosely by Bob. I am about to start listening to it as I went
out for the day on sunday.The first 2 an half hours are music, this varies from week
to week, usually just the first hour is music hour but this weekend being a bank
holidayand a long show he must have played more..

Scientists Reconnect Severed Nerves With Liquid Metal

‘Get your T-1000 jokes ready, because we’re one step closer to liquid metal-
powered people. As a team of Chinese biomedical engineers recently used an alloy
to close the gap between severed sciatic nerves in frogs. In effect, it made
electronic circuits out of nerves — and it worked.
Shockingly, this sci-fi solution is as simple as it sounds. Looking for a way to keep
muscles active while nerves healed, the Tsinghua University researchers identified
liquid metal as a highly conductive but also safe material to bridge the gap. They
decided on the liquid metal alloy gallium-indium-selenium, a benign material that’s
liquid at body temperature. (This liquid metal is not to be confused with the brand-
name wonder material Liquidmetal, which is not actually a liquid.) The liquid metal
alloy is also highly conductive.’
http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/h7f4lztyfmicrnrt1ssr.png
To test the alloy, the engineers applied an electric pulse to nerves in a frog leg so
that the calf muscle would contract. They then severed the sciatic nerve and
connected the two ends with either the liquid metal alloy or Ringer’s solution, a mix
of electrolytes that mimic body fluids. Sure enough, the Ringer’s solution only
carried the charge so far, while the liquid metal alloy transmitted the electrical
signals about as well as the nerve before it had been severed. This means it could
be used to protect muscles and nerves after an injury, and since it’s metal, it can
be easily removed with the help of an x-ray.
This is obviously the early stages of what could be an exciting new treatment for
nerve injuries. It’s also, arguably, the first step towards truly wired creature. Of
course, we’re probably closer to building a cyborg than you might think.

The Terminator films may have been onto something with their terrifying use of
liquid-metal exoskeletons. In what could be precursor to the films, a Chinese lab
recently announced it has been able to use liquid metal to repair severed nerves. A
team at Tsinghua University in Beijing said the futuristic technique could someday
improve current methods of nerve repair in animals and humans, while preventing
long-term disabilities.

The researchers are hoping to find out whether the liquid metal will prevent nerve
repair. One tentative idea is to only place the liquid metal around the peripheral
thick area of the nerve and then include growth factors - a naturally occurring
substance capable of stimulating cellular growth - in the thinner microchannels
The researchers are hoping to find out whether the liquid metal will prevent nerve
repair. One tentative idea is to only place the liquid metal around the peripheral
thick area of the nerve and then include growth factors - a naturally occurring
substance capable of stimulating cellular growth - in the thinner
microchannels.When a nerve is severed, the muscles at one end of that nerve are
cut off from signals from the brain, and essentially immobilised. This can
potentially lead to atrophy, a process in which the nerves waste away. To prevent
this, neural signals still need to be sent from the brain over the gap in the severed
nerve as it heals.The most common way of doing this is to use a solution of salts
called Ringer's solution that copies the function of body fluids, according to a report
in CNET. But metal could be a better way of conducting those signals, according to
the research.

Scientists believe the metal is likely to work well in surgery as it remains liquid at
body temperature. More tests are needed to see if it is safe for humans
The team in Beijing tested the liquid metal on a severed sciatic nerve connected to
the calf muscle of a bullfrog. The sciatic nerve begins in the lower back and runs
through the buttock and down the lower limb of the bullfrog. Scientists applied a
pulse to one end of the nerve and measured the signal that reached the calf
muscle, which contracted with each pulse. They then cut the sciatic nerve and
placed each of the severed ends in a capillary filled either with liquid metal or with
Ringer’s solution. The pulses were re-applied and the scientists measured how they
moved across the gap. The pulses that passed through the Ringer’s solution
tended to degrade, while the pulses passed readily through the liquid metal.
‘[Ringer's] Solution could not be competitive with the liquid metal in the
performance as functional recovery channel,’ the researchers wrote.
They believe that metal, known as metal alloy gallium-indium-selenium, is also
likely to work well in surgery as it is liquid at body temperature. However, the
material still needs extensive testing to see if it is safe to use in the body. The team
now plan to make special conduits for reconnecting severed nerves that contain
liquid metal. The researchers are also hoping to find out whether the liquid metal
will prevent nerve repair in some way. One tentative idea is to only place the liquid
metal around the peripheral thick area of the nerve and then include growth factors
- a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cellular growth - in the
thinner microchannels.
REAL-LIFE TERMINATOR: THE WORLD'S FIRST SELF-FIXING PLASTIC
Actor Robert Patrick famously portrayed the T-1000, a liquid-metal robot which
epaired itself.Last year, more than 20 years after the 1991 film Terminator 2 was
released, Spanish scientists claimed to have developed the world's first self-healing
polymer that can spontaneously rebuild. The new material has been
labelled ‘Terminator’ by researchers, who said it could help improve the lifetime and
security of plastic parts in anything from electrical components to houses. The
discovery - revealed in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s journal Materials Horizons -
was hailed as the first polymer that restores itself without intervention, reported
United Press International. The researchers from the Centre for Electrochemical
Technologies in San Sebastian said that after being cut in two and the pieces
pushed back together, one sample 97 per cent healed in two hours.The single piece
was unbreakable when stretched by hand, according to scientists Alaitz Rekondo,
Roberto Martin, Alaitz Ruiz de Luzuriaga, German Cabanero, Hans Grande and Ibon Odriozola.
They said: ‘Such a material presents near quantitative self-healing efficiency at
room-temperature, without the need for any external intervention such as heat or light.’

The Truth Will Set You Free: Time Does Not Exist

‘When we ask ourselves why we think time exists, most of us would say: because
we see everything changing, always. And so it is: everything in and around us is
constantly changing, from beginning until the end.
The question however is: is the reason for this perpetual change to be found
outside the changing subject (caused by a phenomena called time) or is all change
coming from inside the changing subject itself?
I don’t think that it is hard to see that the latter is correct. That which makes things
change (the cycle of life) to a flower, a human being or an animal is set by the
characteristics of that particular life’s form and not by an outer cause such as time.
What we call ‘time’ is just a method for measuring the ‘perpetual change’.’
Because of our need to measure this perpetual change we decided to divide
the ‘cyclic changes’ such as seasons and day and night, into months, twenty-four
hours, minutes etc. These well-known changes are caused by the ever-moving
planetary positions within our solar system and not because there exists such a
thing as ‘time’.
So, there are no minutes, but we decided that after counting 60 (seconds) we say
that a minute has passed. Based on minutes we calculate hours, days, months,
years, centuries etc.In this way we can count the number of heartbeats per minute,
years from birth to death and we even can calculate the number of years from the
Big Bang until today.But we also say: ‘it seems as if time has stood still (in that old
village), nothing has changed`.
Actually there is only NOW – in which all that is manifested appeared, changes and
disappears. Because we ourselves are part of this process of change it might be
difficult for us to grasp that we ourselves too are just changing in the eternal now.
If we are able to look upon ourselves from outside our moving train (witnessing our
life passing by), we will probably be able to see that the now always is and that we
are passing through this eternal, unmoving, NOW.
As we know, Albert Einstein became famous because of his theory of relativity. In
our context it is interesting to understand that Einstein studied the method of
calculating time.He discovered: a moment in time from my position need not
necessarily to be the same from your position.I do not know whether Einstein ever
stated that time does not exist at all. As for me, he had better have said so!It may
be wise and good for a better understanding to give some more examples of the
methods of measuring we use daily and which are also based on non-existing
principles.Distance: a centimeter, meter, kilometer, mile, etc. do not exist but we
have agreed what emptiness we bridge to call it a meter.
Weight: a gram, ounce, kilo, ton, etc. do not exist, but again, we have agreed what
heaviness we will call one kilo.These calculating methods are of course most useful
and indispensable in our daily life.Because we are not aware that time does not
exist, we do not feel the need to focus on the now in which our life takes place.
However, it would have been much wiser if our ancestors (and we) had done so in
the past. Read on to see why…
