Anomalous production of electrical energy in room temperature reactors Alan Smith Net Zero Scientific Ltd. Some 200 years ago Edmund Becquerel discovered a new phenomenon, the photo-voltaic effect, a discovery that led eventually to the modern solar panel. A development curve that took 150 years. Towards the end of the 19th century Heinrich Hertz and some contemporaries discovered and studied the photo-electric effect, the liberation of electrons from metal surfaces when exposed to light, and Peltier published his work on thermo-electricity. Frank Gordon and Harper Whitehouse may have added another new chapter to this story when they discovered and...

The world’s largest and most powerful space telescope rocketed away Saturday on a high-stakes quest to behold light from the first stars and galaxies and scour the universe for hints of life. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope soared from French Guiana on South America’s northeastern coast, riding a European Ariane rocket into the Christmas morning sky. The $10 billion observatory hurtled toward its destination 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) away, or more than four times beyond the moon. It will take a month to get there and another five months before its infrared eyes are ready to start scanning...

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:3-7 For the love of...

In an unusual written ruling, Justice Charles Wood of the Westchester County Supreme Court directed the New York Times to return to Project Veritas any physical copies of legal memos prepared by one of the group's lawyers, and to destroy electronic versions.

It’s really pretty shocking when you think about it, here’s one Democrat in the United States Senate, one Democrat, who thinks maybe...
