    Explained: Student in Teignmouth, Devon sees UFO [Moon Obscured by Clouds]

    I don't know if that's just a slip of the fingers or a mistake, but they're two different photos, most likely taken at the same time. Perhaps adding to the confusion is that the photographer of the clearer pic and the "mature student" who took the 'UFO' pic are both called Matthew. Probaby...

    Explained: Student in Teignmouth, Devon sees UFO [Moon Obscured by Clouds]

    It says "ten seconds" in the version I just looked at.

    Claim: Ghost of deceased Soldier, Freddy Jackson, captured in a photo

    If you're from Yorkshire you'd definitely consider it "the other end of the country" - especially in the 1940s. :cool:

    Cigar Shaped UFO - March 23, 2021 Captured by commercial airline pilots

    The video was originally shared by Brad Kidder who said: Sounds more pranky than anything. But if not - if he genuinely knows the cameraman - then it should be easy to get the time and location.

    Pentagon June 2021 Report on 120+ UAP Incidents

    Here's a theory: - Congress said "go form a group to look at these things and make a big report" - Pentagon reluctantly shrugged its shoulders and did as it was told - Made group and people got salaries - Someone said "now what?" - Smart person said: let's just doss about for seven or eight...

    UFO over Bristol Channel captured by Police helicopter

    Thinking about the questions as to whether the time on the helicopter camera was off by 60 minutes exactly, or by some other number, it seems like it might be possible to match up the two firework display videos. At first glance, I think around 0.46 on the spectator video might be about where...

    UFO over Bristol Channel captured by Police helicopter

    Is there anything in this 'full video' that wasn't in the one released in 2017? Also, how do they know it was 'flying against the wind'?

    Debunked: Study shows link between menstrual cycle and the moon

    Since the latest study only had data from 22 women I've decided to put out a post on facebook and see if friends and friends of friends and friends of friends of friends can maybe come up with a bunch more data. After all, with six degrees of separation and all that we should be able to cover...

    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    Very interesting. Thanks for digging that out. Looking at Motoyama's (potentially) most reputable paper, he has some resistance values for the skin in a couple of tables, like so: https://05078625-9e0f-4ffc-823c-889e05810717.filesusr.com/ugd/c3921d_23f3e917bf1848b096845d5bc19d6d10.pdf All...

    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    So I've been talking with a friend who teaches this 'theory' as part of his yoga teaching and he's been admirably open to it being 'bunk'. One question he had when I presented him with the above point was: well what if there's a 'channel' of highly conductive matter surrounded by less...

    Did Confucius say "wherever you go, go with all your heart?"

    Yep, I recognise that one: it's from The Analects, Chapter 2.4: Or:

    Did Confucius say "wherever you go, go with all your heart?"

    Nice to see the Chinese have their silly/heartwarming quote sites too. :) I suspect that one's taken from the modern English quote memes and translated back into Chinese: Google makes it "wherever you go, follow your heart."

    Did Confucius say "wherever you go, go with all your heart?"

    This quote is all over the usual trashy places - goodreads, brainyquote, facebook, etc - but I can see no reliable source cited for it, and it's absent from Confucius's wikiquotes page, including anything remotely resembling it. Likewise, looking through The Analects draws a blank. For early...

    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    Ah yes, that Quackwatch article is a good resource: I don't see Motoyama's AMI mentioned, but I do see several other machines that were described as doing the same thing (with regard to meridians) such as the Acugraph and Prognos, and it seems to describe the whole process very thoroughly...

    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    Thanks for taking the time to look into this, all very interesting. I'm especially piqued by your statement that it wouldn't be possible for electrical current to flow through specific (non-insulated) channels because the whole of the human body is conductive, cos that would seem to debunk the...

    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    PS The CIHS catalog makes for interesting reading: https://www.cihs.edu/catalog I see that in the 2003/04 edition this course was offered: I don't see anything similar offered today - but lots of courses using the aforementioned AMI.

    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    Pinpointing the source of the claim: That's very similar to what a friend who teaches this theory told me: there's a network of hyaluronic channels in the body; hyaluronic acid binds water (the figure normally quoted is "1000 times its weight"); water conducts electricity; therefore there's an...

    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    Okay, here's one actual paper that seems at least partially connected to this claim: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ar.10185 It states: I can't pretend to understand that stuff or how it relates to the claim in the OP. Regarding the idea of hyaluronic acid as some sort of...

    Claim: The Indian/Chinese systems of nadis/meridians have been proved by science because of hyaluronic acid and piezoelectricity

    I've been seeing this claim for a few years and I believe it's mentioned in some of the books of Paul Grilley, but finding a source for the claim or any paper relating to it seems difficult. Now I've been asked to proofread a book that repeats the claim, like so: (Bold added by me to highlight...
