When did life begin on Earth? There are the Religious text, but can we find clues as to when life first appeared? Well a new fossil may put some light on this and correct our assumptions to 300 million years earlier. The following article is from interestingengineering.com and written by Chris Young:
"A team of scientists believes some of the oldest fossils found on Earth contain signs of the earliest life on our planet, a press statement reveals.
These samples predate traditional scientific estimations for the beginnings of life on Earth by hundreds of millions of years.
According to researchers, the ancient fossils are between 3.75 billion and 4.2 billion years old. If their belief that the samples are biological in origin is true, it would completely change our understanding of the evolution of life on Earth. It would ultimately rewrite the timeline for the origin of microbial life on Earth, meaning its emergence occurred up to 300 million years earlier than previously believed.
That would mean that relatively speaking, the earliest known organisms are only a little younger than the Earth itself. The discovery has potentially huge implications therefore for our understanding of the evolution of life on Earth, as well as for the search for extraterrestrial life.
In a paper in the journal Science Advances, the researchers from University College London, detail their analysis of fossil samples they found at a dig site in northern Québec, Canada. The fossil samples were originally collected in 2008 by UCL associate professor Dominic Papineau. After the initial finding, Papineau and colleagues argued in a 2017 paper in the journal Nature that the filaments and tubes preserved in the fossils were a sign of biological processes. This led to great debate within the scientific community, with detractors claiming the same filaments could have been produced by geological processes.
"A diverse microbial ecosystem on the primordial Earth"
Since the 2017 paper, Papineau and his colleagues have been working to provide further insight with a view to strengthening their argument. In their new paper, they provide their findings, which they claim might reveal "a diverse microbial ecosystem on the primordial Earth that may be common on other planetary bodies, including Mars."
The researchers not only claim to have further evidence for their own theory, but they also believe their new findings disprove claims that the shapes found in their fossil samples were created by geological processes. They employed new techniques and studied a larger sample that includes a stem-like structure they believe is hard to explain without the existence of living organisms at the time. According to the scientists, their more comprehensive investigation leads them to believe that iron-eating microbes — like the ones that live in hypothermal vent systems today — may have formed the patterns in their samples.
A long-held scientific theory suggests life first originated at these ocean vents, which provide the heat and materials required for microbial life to thrive. The new finding might lend weight to this theory, suggesting such vents on other planets could be one of the focal points for future missions aimed at discovering microbial life on other planets. "
Thus the hot vents may be the spawning grounds of life on this Earth as well as other worlds yet to be discovered.

I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
The following is from an article from interestingengineering.com and written by Paul Ratner:
