there are many drugs that kill cancer cells the problem is they often kill your healthy cells too. there will never be a silver bullet cure for cancer. its a multifactorial disease with multiple ways of treating.
haha!

If anyone could really say what's going to happen in the future, he could easily make a lot of money and be fucking rich. Well, I'm not fucking rich so I have to say that I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen in 2012. I also have no idea what's going to happen next year or even tomorrow or the next hour.

flyboy said:I racked my brain last night trying to figure out what single event could transform the world in an instant, and tried to remain positive, I came up with this:
The cure for cancer is discovered in 2012
If science were to learn how to stop tumors and cancer cells from growing and spreading, well.. heart disease is the second bigget killer but heart disease is 100% treatable, preventable, etc with stents, artificial hearts, pacemakers, etc.
If all cancers were curable, in an instant, most of us could be expected to live past 100 which would change everything. (for the west at least)
For one, everybody would start smoking and drinking without guilt once again!
OR... The cure for cancer is discovered but it turns out that the virus they used mutates and turns people into vampires and the only person left as a human in New York is a virologist that looks like Will Smith...
Oh wait, thats the plot of the I am Legend movie...
Lol.

I'd rather use the term "awakening" to describe that. I think "junk" DNA is just a reflection of our spiritual somnabulism. Once we all start to wake up, that DNA isn't going to appear to us as junk anymore

Jnk DNA is not junk at all....
There are plenty of theories about what this massive bunch of non coding DNA might be doing and the first insight are coming from almost 10 years ago.
What "junk" DNA apparently has, has turned out to be sequences that regulate the expression of the coding genes, like:
1) enhancers and silencers
2) micro RNAs
3) generally sequences that are used to regulate NOT what the DNA is encoding but HOW the coded sequence is accessed and organised. It is known that long streches of sequence totally barren of any genes can be organised into heterochromatin which, for instance affect how DNA is packed inside the cells.
With the progressive unravelling of all these funny DNA functions, SWIM would consider the term "junk" as banal

Either something happens, or not
If something happens, it can be a catastrophe or it can be a good thing...
Either way, Im gonna keep doing my part, im not gonna ´count on it´ in any way.. I dont want to put the world´s destiny in the hands of some possible event.. Im gonna act as if it wouldnt happen, and if it does, then so be it, I will at least have a good conscience that I did my part
Here´s some possibilities of what could happen that ppl didnt talk about (at least I didnt see):
- drug legalization, or psychedelics being used officially as medicine, or something of the sort
- something special related to the large hadron collider (black hole destroys earth, some scientific revelation that will unite spirituality and science, some sort of time warp)
- sunspots and magnetic bursts will destroy every electronic equipment on earth (imagine! all bank accounts erased, no more computers, etc...)
(plus all the other possibilities people already mentioned, like endogenous dmt release, new enlightened person being born, everyone enlightened, or whatever catastrophes ppl say)

my favorite words of wisdom (seriously) :d
it applies to everything, and is a rock-solid argument.
i think there's more of a chance that jesus will magically appear and kick every guy in the nuts and snatch out womens' ovaries, than a spontaneous global "release" of DMT.
I'm more in agreement with the logic that it will simply be the beginning of a new epoch.

only a test Zoro, only a test of two sectors and the electric capability and the proton injection mechanism. Complete startup when all sectors are cool @ 1.9 K in sept. Various experiments to be run over the next decade.
I'd like to know if the LHC will help us to discover what all this dark matter is.
Anyway, the maya calender misses 5 days a year, so they had to invent all these cycles to make it fit. Would be fun though if something would happen at the exact moment of the mistaken maya calender. I'm in for a few changes here and there.

Just a question, what was the purpose for the Hadron Collider?
Smash particles (protons) at such high speeds that a cascade of particles resulting from it would reveal some particles that never have been observed yet (directly or inderectly). The first particle everybody expects to be revealed is the so called Higgs boson, wich is supposed to be the particle that gives mass to all the other ones. But many scientists hope to see other particles as well. Apparantly the vast majority (i believe it was something like 96 %) of all the matter that exists is 'invisible', so called dark matter. You can imagine scientists being very curious about the nature and 'fuction' of this stuff.

I would so pay to see Jesus kicking guys in the nuts...seriously. Not so much with the snatching womens' overies out.
The earth is going to be a large glowing ball of strange quark matter by 2012...good times!
Golly, and the US is worried about "terrorists". Osama's got nothing on the super collider!

well, according to their website it was not turned on properly yet, it was just some synchronization tests..
the real show starts next month apparently

As far as the 2012 thing goes, I'll bet all of you that absolutely nothing spectacular happens at all in that year other than a bunch of people getting together and thinking something might happen. There will be a lot of events celebrating the year, and many expecting something, and that pure expectation will cause some minor events to happen, but nothing spectacular will happen.
Many will trip in 2012 just because it’s a cool idea to do so. I’ll probably be at one of the Mayan locations at the time just for the fun of it. But other than some parties, and lots of people taking shrooms, yopo, ayahuasca, DMT, and stuff like that, nothing spectacular will happen.
I think at best 2012 will bring out all the users of entheogens around the world. It will be sort of a large get together or “happening” as they used to call it in the 60’s. It will be fun, some people will expand their minds and souls, but other than that it will be business as usual.
Mark my words. And for those of you who think otherwise, I’m reserving my right to say “I TOLD YOU SO” in the year 2013 after 2012 passes without any spectacular event ever happening. It’s just like the year 1999. People predicted chaos, the end of the world, etc., and here we are. Nothing happened. A few clocks got messed up because of some bad programming. That’s it!

Every time something goes wrong in the world people flock to the conclusion that the world's going to end. It's really just a bad case of self-importance to think that humans are the cause of global warming. Earth has cycles of global climate changes and has been through much worse than humans.
Personally I hope this whole system of technology collapses and our society realizes what a mistake they made turning to consumerism.
But probably nothing will happen
