Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨Rep. Cory Mills pledges to fund a “parallel independent investigation” into the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, expressing disappointment at not being selected to sit on the task force to investigate the rally shooting

The astoundingly complex LHC “atom smasher” at the CERN center in Geneva, Switzerland, are fired up to its maximum energy levels ever in an endeavor to identify - or perhaps generate - tiny black holes. If successful a very new universe is going to be exposed – modifying completely not only the physics books but the philosophy books too. It is even probable that gravity from our own universe may “transfer” into this parallel universe, researchers at the LHC say. The experiment is assured to accentuate alarmist critics of the LHC, many of whom initially warned the high energy particle...

In a scenario straight out of “The Twilight Zone,” a group of NASA scientists working on an experiment in Antarctica have detected evidence of a parallel universe — where the rules of physics are the opposite of our own, according to a report. The concept of a parallel universe has been around since the early 1960s, mostly in the minds of fans of sci-fi TV shows and comics, but now a cosmic ray detection experiment has found particles that could be from a parallel realm that also was born in the Big Bang, the Daily Star reported. The experts used...

"Counterpart", is a Starz original science fiction minseries. The plot is as follows: Howard Silk has been working for a bureaucratic UN agency based in Berlin for thirty years; however, his station is too low for him to be told what his work really involves. In fact, the agency oversees a crossing point to a parallel Earth (the "Prime world"), a copy of Howard's world which was created by East German scientists in 1987, and which has been diverging ever since. Silk's "other" self, his counterpart from the Prime world, is, among other things, a field agent who regularly makes...

The existence of parallel universes may seem like something cooked up by science fiction writers, with little relevance to modern theoretical physics. But the idea that we live in a 'multiverse' made up of an infinite number of parallel universes has long been considered a scientific possibility - although it is still a matter of vigorous debate among physicists. The race is now on to find a way to test the theory, including searching the sky for signs of collisions with other universes. It is important to keep in mind that the multiverse view is not actually a theory, it...

BEIJING – At first, it looks like a sleek Apple store. Sales assistants in blue T-shirts with the company's logo chat to customers. Signs advertising the iPad 2 hang from the white walls. Outside, the famous logo sits next to the words "Apple Store." And that's the clue it's fake. China, long known for producing counterfeit consumer gadgets, software and brand name clothing, has reached a new piracy milestone -- fake Apple stores.

Editorial: Greg Habeeb in the 8th District The Republican angling to replace Morgan Griffith in the House of Delegates says he'll work for the good of the Roanoke Valley. If Salem attorney Greg Habeeb succeeds in his effort to replace Morgan Griffith in the House of Delegates, we don't expect to cheer many of his votes. Habeeb is a deeply conservative individual who believes that, even after years of punishing budget cuts, state government remains too large. He believes, as he put it when he announced his intent to run for the seat left vacant when Griffith beat Rep. Rick...

Heading into its mind-bending third season, the critically acclaimed FRINGE continues to explore otherworldly cases with endless impossibilities. Set in Boston, the FBI's Fringe Division was introduced when Special Agent OLIVIA DUNHAM (Anna Torv) enlisted institutionalized "fringe" scientist WALTER BISHOP (John Noble) and his globe-trotting, jack-of-all-trades son, PETER (Joshua Jackson), to help in the investigation of an airline disaster that defied human logic. After the defining case was solved and revealed to be one of a series of unusual incidents linked together, the unlikely trio supervised by Special Agent PHILLIP BROYLES (Lance Reddick) and assisted by Junior Agent ASTRID...

These posts seem old, like from this morning?

The grassroots group helped Oakland pass a tough anti-predatory lending law that would have halted the housing crisis before it started.

This story contains spoilers for the Season 1 finale of "Fringe." Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello called it "ballsy." Other fans expressed shock. Anna Torv's character of Olivia Dunham finally gets to meet the mysterious William Bell in the season finale of Fox's "Fringe" Tuesday, only to find out that it's not only Leonard Nimoy, but that he's working out of the World Trade Center in New York City. Granted, it's a New York City in an alternate universe. But with Sept. 11 terrorist attacks just eight years old, could it have been a little too soon for the viewing public...

Science fiction looks closer to becoming science fact. Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists that sweeps away one of the key objections to the mind boggling and controversial idea. The work has wider implications since the idea of parallel universes sidesteps one of the key problems with time travel. Every since it was given serious lab cred in 1949 by the great logician Kurt Godel, many eminent physicists have argued against time travel because it undermines ideas of cause and effect to create paradoxes: a time traveller could go back to kill his...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - When an American minister, Darryl R. Peebles, typed his name into an Internet search engine he was surprised to find another Daryl R. Peebles living in the Australian island state of Tasmania. But the surprises kept coming. After the minister contacted the Australian Daryl Peebles and over a series of e-mails the two found they had far more in common that just a name. They were both born in 1949. Both have three children with a child born in 1975 and in 1977. Their fathers both came from small towns and worked on lathes of some...

Welcome to yet another chapter of the Dummieland Hate Bush obsession in this THREAD titled, “I don't understand why they don't take bush down now.” My how the pet DUmmie ants are astir over the very existence of Bush as President. Peer through the glass of my Pet DUmmie Ant Farm as they continue kicking up dust in their circular mill. But let us be thankful for their rage. Angry DUmmie ants are quite entertaining. So sit back and enjoy the show. As usual, the DUmmie ant frothings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent,...

This is some of the most twisted news i have EVER seen...And i thought our news was twisted.. Take this for example. Iraqi President wants the U.S. occupation to remain Opposing the Iraqi people’s will, Iraq's president, Ghazi Al Yawer said Tuesday that it would be "complete nonsense" to ask the U.S.-led occupation troops to withdraw from the country now (direct from al-jazeera) This is a NEWS HEADLINE DIRECT FROM A.J. Donald Rumsfeld: The mastermind behind 'terrorist attacks' The Bush administration has consistently stated that the United States of America is under a threat of attacks from "terrorists". Washington could...
