It's time to talk about a very serious subject. This theme concerns all of us - all of mankind, which now enters the next stage of development of ATLANTIS. Atlantis repeatedly appeared on our planet in the development of the technological path of knowledge. And not once did happen that reaching a certain level of development, it removed the upper force. Why it happened? Yes because this way for a man, a blind and self-destroying. Here is an example of an article by Sergei Trotsky. It perfectly describes how today is manifested this way of development of Atlantis. Whenever civilization is called differently, but the essence is one. And proof that it is not once existed on the planet already unearthed by archaeologists

On the horizon - the world beyond

Opinion (Tchernigovskaya, Professor, SPbSU): Most of what happens in the mind, is beyond our control, moreover, we know nothing about that. The degree of freedom of the brain is huge, and speaking roughly, what he wants, and does.
The brain makes decisions for a few seconds before people aware of it. But when the inevitable question of free will. It turns out that we depend on genes from congenital features of mentality and body, from how the brain like to solve problems, from social conditions.

Most natural tasks person decides, in collaboration with other people. Distributed intelligence (distributed cognition be seen as the interaction of people, as the distribution of cognitive functions between man and increasing number of intelligent devices.
There will be those who will be implanted chips, improving memory and reaction. But where I end and where to begin? I am - this is who? My body or my mind? And if my body or mind have any additional devices, would it be me?

A person can get lost in a new world because he will not know how myself in it to have. The question is not about computer games, and that the whole world may be virtual. The distance between the living and non-living can be erased. Now seriously discussing technological immortality: you through the brain to the nanoparticles, and then recreate the same person, only of iron. I think this is going to end very badly, but the idea is already inside of science. The issue of technological immortality before mankind had never been so real. The process of creating artificial intelligence and accretion of the living from non-living is moving with great speed, and acceleration, which modern civilization acquired, frighteningly growing.

There is no one definition of consciousness. You can assume that all living things have a consciousness. Is there a consciousness in cats or dogs? And if we mean by consciousness only the highest, then 80% of the people consciousness even appeared.
English physicist Roger Penrose says that consciousness is a quantum anomaly. Quantum physics has shown that we do not live in the world where we expected. It is one and the same object can be in two different places. There unclear relationship of cause and effect: do cause time precedes the consequence? In consolation we have always said that it is only in the microcosm. But major scientists say, too, about the world in which we live. We, the participants, not observers of life, simultaneously subject and object. This is a serious jump from the quantum world in this.

Kant says that we do not derive the laws of nature, we impose the nature laws. We see these laws, but it does not mean that they are. Quantum physics says exactly that: the observer is not subject that is in the hall, while the world is on the scene. He is on the same stage, and when the observer from the scene goes, he should shut up, because he does not know what is happening there in his absence. We were in some kind of non-Newtonian world.

About 95% of the matter can not say anything. The Creator has put us limits of hearing, sight and skin sensitivity. The magnetic field and ultrasound we do not feel, but this does not mean that it is not.
Kant wrote that our brain allows us such a world. All of our sensory systems allowed to enter our brains only a certain fraction of the information. After that dosing brain as wanted, and processed data. So, when they say: "My brain" - I, on the place of the brain that would have laughed heartily: Who is whose? This is the skull of yours, and you're brain. As we comprehend it?

The question of the relationship between faith and science. Scientists are trying to find out how the Creator made the world, by what laws. If You are an atheist, I would say instead of the Creator Is Nature. But this situation has not changed.
Heisenberg, Nobel laureate in physics, one of the founders of quantum physics, wrote that the disclosure of science makes us atheists, but then leads to God. And when one gets to that level of complexity of cosmology or brain, he could only shrug.

Consciousness and altruism plants: is it possible?
Back in 1966 specialist inquiries Cleve Baxter conducted an interesting experiment. Knowing that lie detectors measure the moisture of the skin (sweating) with galvanic reaction, Cleve connected to the device cane plant to determine the level of consumption of the liquid.

But when he looked at the polygraph, he saw then that the curve of the reaction is very similar to the one that demonstrate people. The future was even more surprising. Baxter knew that stress provokes the strongest reaction in the testing of a lie detector, and he thought, what would happen if he would burn one sheet.

Remember, he is not burned sheet, and only thought about it. But at this moment the polygraph literally went mad.
Cleve again and again repeated the experiment, and eventually came to the conclusion that plants can think and somehow react to the intention of the person. This means that they can hear us.
Since then, for many years, this question was actively discussed. We learned that plants have the ability to sense and respond to other plants. But what about consciousness? The ability to draw conclusions? This probably seems a little far-fetched.

And what if not?
Recently two scientists from Yale University, has published a research on altruism. The greater part of the last century the specialists have convinced us that this phenomenon is possible only among men, but in the last 30 years altruism was surprising constancy to occur in animals.
Such messages led to mass amendments to the Darwinian theory of natural selection, but there are some questions. Once altruism is inherent not only to the person and is observed in animals, where can bring this chain of events? For example, plants operating for the benefit of mankind? Don't talk nonsense, many critics say.
But again, what if it wasn't?

In an attempt to explore the ability yellow Impatiens recognition relatives Yale scientists examined the reaction of the plants in two different competitive situations. To study the rivalry over land use changes in the quality of lighting, for the study of the underground part has taken into account the presence of roots neighbors. In addition, plants were grown or friends groups, or among strangers.

In the presence of the families here have allocated additional resources in the stalk. As a result, he lengthened to improve the reception of the light. But the plant did not change the intensity of growth of roots or leaves.
The most significant point was the lack of change in the leaves. As the light is the limitation of the growth in competitive situations unflirty usually allocates considerable resources to the growth of leaves (it gives her more likely to get a lot of light and shadow, the neighbors). But the family of the plant did not. But in the company of strangers here really has changed the scheme of our actions, by directing additional resources for the growth of leaves. This means that in the presence of their relatives plant demonstrated altruism.

Is this a proof of consciousness that is able to read thoughts? Of course not. But it proves that there is something more than people thought before. And this "more", most likely, is connected with consciousness.
In light of the global rate of deforestation, it definitely makes you think.
Plants can think of, is not whether global deforestation genocide?
Today. That is, in the year 2013 planet begins reconstruction of plants. It is likely that they are almost not changing the appearance will change its essence. The ability to perceive cell subtle energy of thought is matter. And not always it needs the brain. Probably some types of substance brain replaced by something other. On other body sensations and perceptions about a person doesn't know anything.
