News: The Kaimanawa Wall
This is fascinating. A seemingly ancient man-made wall in New Zealand. Theories abound about it's origins. It could be a natural occurance - but it sure looks man-made.

News: Ecology 101: Mining is BAD
The process of mining (especially open cast/pit mining) produces large quantities of toxic waste - containing such yummy substances like arsenic, lead and mercury. Obviously this reduces populations of organisms down-stream from the mine.

News: So that's what Crop Circles are made by...
Well, some of them anyway. Underground structures like old barrows, burial chambers, henges and so on. Much like the strange patterns in the grass I noticed at Greenwich park - which turned out to be caused by Roman walls below ground. These things interfere with the way plants grow - hence crop circles.
This came to light in the recent discovery of a massive archaeological site not far from Stonehenge in England.

News: Reflecting Gravity waves
Following on from Podlikov's work on gravity shielding - it looks like other scientists are realising that superconductors can actually reflect gravity. Here's an interesting article regarding geodesic gravity displacement. Need I mention Geostatic or Magnostrat theory to anyone? (Read Majellan and you'll know what I mean!)
