Homo Erectus was in Southeast Asia almost 2 million years ago: Mosquitoes preferring human blood odor!

 Such early origination of anthropophily must necessarily have been in response to the arrival of early hominins (Homo erectus) rather than anatomically modern humans, likely associated with loss and fragmentation of rainforests during the early Pleistocene. The early origination of anthropophily also provides independent non-archaeological evidence supporting the limited fossil record of early hominin colonization in Southeast Asia around 1.8 Mya.

 The green vertical shading represents the time interval proposed for the arrival of early hominins in Southeast Asia based on fossil data between 1.3³³ and 1.8 million years ago³⁴.

 Mosquitoes employ multiple senses to track their hosts, but evolutionary changes in olfactory genes, particularly those involving the fine tuning of olfactory receptors through modification of their expression and specificity, are crucial for developing a preference for human body odor⁷³. Large numbers of odorants and olfactory genes are involved in host specificity and genomic studies in Ae. aegypti⁷⁴, An. farauti⁷⁵, Culex pipiens⁷⁶ and An. gambiae⁷⁷ reveal that multiple genetic changes at these and other genes are required for the evolution of anthropophily, i.e. a strong, evolved preference for human blood....

 Dating of the evolution of anthropophily in the Leucosphyrus Group to 2.9–1.6 mya overlaps with the earliest proposed date for the arrival of early hominins (Homo erectus) into Sundaland at 1.8 Mya³⁴, but not with the more recent proposed date of 1.3 Mya³³. Our findings suggest that anthropophily in the Leucosphyrus Group emerged in Sundaland in the early Pleistocene in response to the arrival of early hominins who must have not only been present in this region by this time but must have been in substantial numbers to drive adaptation to human host preference.

 

D'Arsonval high frequency therapy devices still being produced after 100 years!

 https://www.e-skirgesa.lt/darsonval-hf10-with-4-supports

 It produces 10 watts of power at high frequency 50-60Hz waves which is completely painless and effective in reducing wrinkles and fine lines .

Yeah I don't know....but Antiques Roadshow featured a high frequency D'Arsonval therapy chair from maybe the late 1800s!! Wow.

An early 20th-century Campbell high-frequency D'Arsonval therapy chair, a "revolutionary" medical device, was featured on

Antiques Roadshow (Season 28, "Alaska Native Heritage Center: Hour 3"), aired January 22, 2024. Made in Watertown, this rare aluminum chair, often with vacuum tubes, was used for early electrotherapy treatments

 

Key Details of the Campbell Therapy Chair from Antiques Roadshow:

• Appraised Item: A Campbell High-Frequency "Electri-Chair" or therapy chair used for D'Arsonval therapy.
• Origin: Produced approximately 100 years ago (circa 1920s-1930s) in Watertown, New York, by the Campbell company.
• Purpose: These chairs were designed to deliver high-frequency currents to the body for medical treatment, often featuring electrodes or tubes connected to a large,, frequently aluminum, chair frame.
• Significance: Considered a "revolutionary" but early, largely discredited, medical technology, these items are now rare, collectible medical antiques.
• Appraisal Value: The chair was highlighted for its unique,, and somewhat intimidating, historical significance as a form of early electric medical device. 

Context on D'Arsonval Therapy:

• Origin: Developed by French physicist Arsène d'Arsonval in 1891, the technique involves using high-frequency, low-intensity currents on the human body, initially used in both medicine and early beauty treatments.
• Appearance: These devices typically included a control cabinet, a spark gap, and an Oudin resonator to generate the electrical output

AI is not an "ecosystem": how Overseas data workers are required to create AI answers

AI is being called an "ecosystem" - not surprisingly. AI destroys ecosystems and therefore is not an ecosystem.  

 Overseas data screeners build AI by providing high-volume, cost-effective human intelligence to train, validate, and refine machine learning models. They label raw data (images, text, video), reduce AI false positives in compliance, and ensure accuracy, particularly in complex tasks like cargo screening, content moderation, or medical analysis, allowing algorithms to function reliably...

Key contributions of overseas data screeners to AI development include:

• Data Labeling and Annotation: Screeners annotate massive datasets, such as identifying objects in images for computer vision or tagging sentiment in text, which teaches AI systems to recognize patterns.
• Reducing False Positives in Compliance: In specialized fields like sanctions, AML, and trade, human screeners review flagged alerts to train AI to distinguish between real threats and false, noise-heavy alerts.
• Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Validation: Screeners review AI-generated results, providing feedback to improve the model's accuracy, a crucial step for high-stakes industries like transportation and healthcare.
• Scalability and Cost-Efficiency: Large teams of, for example, indian screeners (leading in AI, as mentioned in this Facebook post), provide the required scale to train sophisticated models at a lower cost than in Western countries.
• Global Perspective and Generalization: They help ensure models can handle diverse, international data, aiding in the generalization of AI systems across different populations and contexts.

 

The Temporal Paradox of Superluminal Precognition was explained by Kurt Godel

 Perhaps we might even have the superluminal ability to go there and stop it occurring. But if that were true, why did we make that journey to stop something that had not yet happened. It would be a temporal paradox, once we altered that event...

https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-fundamental-reason-why-the-speed-of-light-cannot-be-broken-Why-does-the-universe-want-to-preserve-the-upper-barrier-on-speed-of-light-so-much-so-that-it-readily-slows-down-time-rather-than-see-the-speed-barrier-broken 

In meditation is it not "us" that observes the future. Rather we listen to the future and it resonates back to us from the Ether aka "formless awareness" aka God or the Cosmic Mother aka the female formless awareness - the absolute void that always radiates light...

As Kurt Godel says as long as you have no personal desires then precognition is allowable. This is also why Dr. Christina Donnell states she would not change the future even if she knew something bad was going to happen. Her book "Transcendent Dreaming" is about this precognitive paradox. 

Qigong master Chunyi Lin recently said how we think of the Self as our individual soul when actually the Absolute Void is how our body interacts with the larger karma of the formless awareness. As Chunyi Lin said in 2000, "I embody the emptiness."

Bohemian Grove = Koch =Heritage Foundation = Neo-Nazi fascism

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unSBLkk2FKc

I learned about the Bohemian Grove by a couple activists who came to our UW-Greens group in Madison Wisconsin in 1992 or 1993....I remember being shocked by this info. ... Dick Cheney spoke there arguing the U.S. needed to be prepared to 2.5 wars at the same time....

Turning to a few post-Nixon examples, the Grove had quite a line-up of Lakeside speakers in 1991, including the African-American lawyer Vernon Jordan, soon to be a prominent confidant of President Bill Clinton. Helmut Schmidt, the former chancellor of West Germany, also appeared (pictured), as did the then-Secretary of Defense, Richard Cheney. George Shultz, the Secretary of State under Reagan, gave a talk called "Agenda for America."

Here is Cheney in 2009 based on the results of his plan:

It’s required the commitment of many thousands of troops in two theaters of war, with high points and some low points in both Iraq and Afghanistan – and at every turn, the people of our military carried the heaviest burden. Well over seven years into the effort, one thing we know is that the enemy has spent most of this time on the defensive – and every attempt to strike inside the United States has failed.  

https://www.politico.com/story/2009/05/full-transcript-dick-cheneys-speech-022823

And back in the early 90s at Bohemian Grove:

A speech in the early 90's, by then defense secretary, Dick Cheney, called Major Defense Problems of the 21st Century

 https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-paranoid-style/bohemian-grove-z6wiUN3CGpb/

So Dick Cheney relied on nuclear threats against Iraq - and this was believed to prevent Iraq from attacking Israel or using chemical weapons...

The US already used depleted uranium weapons made out of Minnesota Twin Cities - for making two-headed babies in Iraq....

Is Dark Energy just noncommutative Gravitational potential energy? Timescape model of Universe as noncommutative Void Volume

 https://www.quora.com/When-the-universe-expands-the-energy-of-light-decreases-in-what-is-known-as-red-shift-I-have-a-question-here-does-the-energy-here-become-nothing-and-disappear-or-what

First, the two comoving observers may both be at rest with respect to the bulk of the universe but in an expanding universe, they’re not at rest with respect to each other! The “bulk” here is moving relative to the “bulk” there, the distance between the two locations increasing over time. This induces a velocity-related Doppler redshift. This Doppler redshift is the dominant redshift when the source of the light and its target are not too far apart (and by “not too far”, I mean less than about 8–9 billion light years, when the so-called redshift factor is less than 1.)

When the distance is really, really great, however, there is another thing to consider. That light ray is really old. It was emitted at a time when the universe was much, much more dense on average than today. Greater density means greater gravitational potential, and the gravitational potential implies time dilation. When it comes to light rays that come from beyond about 8–9 billion light years, this gravitational time dilation cannot be ignored anymore. Clocks really were ticking slower back then, so however many cycles that light ray had every second back then, it will show up with fewer cycles per second when that second is measured by a clock now.

 So the above is the "standard model" that differentiates dark energy from gravitational potential energy as time at the origin of the Big Bang....the Timescape model says that gravitational potential time dilation as greater density (momentum) is the same as the dark energy accelerating matter apart.

Professor David Wiltshire, who led the study, said, "Our findings show that we do not need dark energy to explain why the universe appears to expand at an accelerating rate.

"Dark energy is a misidentification of variations in the kinetic energy of expansion, which is not uniform in a universe as lumpy as the one we actually live in."

 Solution to the cosmological constant problem by David L. Wiltshire

  dynamical spatial curvature
arises as time-varying spatial gradients of the kinetic spatial curvature, and depends
directly on the void volume fraction. 

 the largest typical voids, which I heuristically call small voids

 in the Timescape model, the void volume fraction, fv, is the only free function

 The results are striking since the signature of large negative spatial curvature, common
to several backreaction scenarios with emerging spatial curvature, is evident in the
radial profile of the stacked voids (see Fig. 2)

 Is the Observable Universe Consistent with the Cosmological Principle?

but non-fundamental symmetry assumption

 In his 1979 book Theoretical Cosmology, Raychaudhuri [7] identifies four approaches to the CP: (i) philosophical; (ii) mathematical; (iii) deductive; and (iv) empirical.
The first, philosophical, is said to have emotional appeal. The second, mathematical, is said to have the appeal of mathematical beauty (symmetry). ....this form is fixed by the symmetries.

  Later we will argue that this actually extends to orientations on the sky, so the Hubble tension may be a three-dimensional problem and not a one-dimensional (redshift) problem, as is routinely assumed.

 inter-connected by filamentary structures, woven around three-dimensional underdense regions identified as cosmic voids. The complex network and arrangement of matter in the cosmic web is postulated to arise from quantum fluctuations in an otherwise homogeneous medium in the inflationary era. There is a treasure trove of information encoded in the structural patterns of the primordial field as well the subsequent large scale structure of the Universe that emerges from it.

 void models providing a putative replacement for dark energy 

 cosmic time has been exploited as means to assess the viability of void models

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.00358 

 The conventional limit neglects an important coupling of the quasilocal energy and angular momentum defined by the regional time–averaged motion of matter sources. For rotating galaxies we set out a new, self-consistent quasilocal Newtonian limit of general relativity, which does not assume a Minkowskian spacetime background a priori. It introduces novel, first-order features that fundamentally modify galactic dynamics

 spacetime itself carries its own energy and angular momentum [4–7]. Moreover, the highly
nonlinear nature of general relativity gives rise to a noncommutativity

  timescape is characterized by the void fraction, ⁠, which represents the fractional volume of the expanding regions of the universe made up by voids.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.13391 

 this second horizon, analogous to a cosmological horizon, emerges due to the
de Sitter-like nature of the void at large distances. We found that as the absolute value of
the contrast parameter δc increases, the size of the black hole horizon increases, while that
of the cosmological horizon decreases. Furthermore, in all cases, the inner horizon remains
larger than the Schwarzschild radius, reinforcing the impact of the void on the gravitational
structure.
Thus, our analysis revealed that the cosmic void surrounding the black hole significantly
modifies its properties. Vice versa, our findings seem also to indicate that the black hole
contributes to the void stability, since there exists a region between the singularity and the
edge of the void whose spacetime resembles a de Sitter one, introducing a repulsive effect
that counteracts possible gravitational collapses and stabilizes the system. 

the problem of defining gravitational energy troubled Einstein greatly, and the relation of the geometry of bound systems to expanding space was one whose foundational significance was obvious to him,6 once the expanding universe became accepted he never returned to the equivalence principle 

  the relevant frame is one in which time symmetries are removed.

 the relevant frame is one in which time symmetries are removed....emoves the time symmetries...we cannot tell whether particles subject to such motion are at rest in an expanding space, or moving in a static space. The argument about whether particles are moving or space is expanding is an argument about something that is fundamentally indistinguishable....Cosmic acceleration is an apparent effect11,16 which arises when we mistakenly try to fit a Friedmann model to the whole universe with the incorrect assumption that the local spatial curvature and local clock rates of isotropic observers
everywhere are identical to our own... An observer in a void will infer no cosmic acceleration,

 Space-time: Commutative or noncommutative ?

This suggests that the scale of the spacetime coordinates noncommutativity could be larger than the Planck length....(associated to the noncommutativity of the spacetime coordinates) and φ (associated to the noncommutativity of momenta)

Hi Professor Rui Vilela Mendes: As per your below quotes:

The solidary form of collective government of the hunter-gatherer groups was probably the most successful invention of modern man,
leading to his dominance over other species and even over other hominids.

Hi Professor Rui Vilela Mendes: Thanks for replying and sending your recent papers. I had replies from Professor Basil J. Hiley who did very fascinating noncommutativity quantum algebra research. He did not use Hilbert space. In the paper you cite, https://label2.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/vilela/Papers/PeV.pdf you mention "fundamental time" being a discrete spectrum. This aligns with noncommutativity also being fundamental and nonlocal as math professor Lou Kauffman uses the phase "primordial time" while professor Alain Connes calls it "primitive time" and Lee Smolin calls it "fundamental time" (as does Roger Penrose). My background is actually in music as you may have noticed from the paper I got published. I then focused on sustainability policy activism based on a noncommutative music philosophy of science. That's what my paper focuses on.

Have you read the paper "Light is Heavy"? https://quicycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/LightHeavy_1120.pdf

Professor Basil J. Hiley was very critical of renormalization by Feynman and Hiley was also critical of Dirac. I find it fascinating that even the follow-up conference to honor the work of Basil J. Hiley did not focus on his noncommutativity emphasis. Yet Hiley in his 2023 book chapter on quantum consciousness points out that quantum biology is completely redefined due to noncommutativity enabling quantum coherence at a macroscale. This is what I had tested out when I finished my master's degree by doing intensive meditation training with qigong master Chunyi Lin of http://springforestqigong.com

I sent Hiley the 2015 talk by Connes to physicists - and Hiley said he knew many of the physicists in the audience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODAngTW8deg&t=3s

Professor Robert Flack was going to do experimental research to test out Basil J. Hiley's model. What you wrote about expectation values is actually manifested as precognitive visions in deep meditation.

https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/20/5/367

In terms of music theory the discrete time spectrum is what Alain Connes called, "two, three and infinity." Or as the qigong master Chunyi Lin says "the simplest is the most powerful."

Connes mentions the music theory analysis in this talk to physicists but then he gives the music theory talk on its own also.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4PCYhcHqKI

So on a microscopic system physicists rely on "observation" but in meditation the logical inference as a listening process is this noncommutative nonlocal quantum algebra and this self-amplifies into the macroscale. It's just that our modern world of Western science relies on symmetric math, commutative complex mathematical physics. My claim is that this wrong math is inherently increasing entropy on Earth against life. Just googlescholar the phrase "biological annihilation" or goto
