My idea for the Evolution!

Evolution is one thing which all of us have been coming across as soon as science was introduced to us.Lets see the definition of 'evolution' in Wikipedia - "Evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. After a population splits into smaller groups, these groups evolve independently and may eventually diversify into new species. A nested hierarchy of anatomical and genetic similarities, geographical distribution of similar species and the fossil record indicate that all organisms are descended from a common ancestor through a long series of these divergent events, stretching back in a tree of life that has grown over the 3,500 million years of life on Earth."

As we know there are multiple theories on evolution, about how it came, how creatures evolved and all. I am not a scientist but one day when I was really feeling the heat on me, I wondered, if all of evolution is true, which suggests that a living creature adapts to the repetitive changes of their surroundings over periods of years, then won't there be an evolution in humans so that they can withstand more heat?

If that's the case, more-over, people will be able to survive even if oxygen levels go down, there is scarcity of water(of-course this thing is already proved for the life-style of people living in the
deserts!), obviously taking into consideration it all happens over period of years, slowly-slowly.

Not only that, even food-chain might evolve accordingly. If predators don't get their preys any-more, they'll evolve and might become pure veg or will find some other alternative itself. This would be true for the other way round too.

So, then why is such a noise every-where around?..Global warming(and may be it's fraud, see ten2fame "Conspiracy Theories"!), food-chain..etc-etc?..

If theory of evolution is true, there is nothing to worry for the future generations, just sit back and enjoy your life!!

Creatonnes : : Now and Future.



We can say that if there was no creativity, there would'nt have been any development. Infact development has lot to do with some or the other person's creativity. You must be wondering how? It's because, invention is nothing but refined form of creativity. This can be backed by the fact that until something is created for purpose of just self it remains just an idea but when the same creativity tends to become helpful for others as well it becomes an invention. This post of creatonnes showcases some of the awsome creations which might become a part of our daily routine in near future.


I hope you all will enjoy this post...

Trivia - Fish was created using nanoentonography, a new process developed by the artist for ARmark to safeguard products and brands from counterfeiting. The ARmark authentication system works by incorporating microscopic layers of covert markers to create brand-owner specific information into products. There are up to eight different levels of security that can be applied to these covert markers that are mere microns wide. With infinite possibilities for unique coding (shapes, colors, numbers and patterns) the product is impossible to replicate.
Nanotechnology could soon create an art gallery full of art that nobody can see not even the artists who created it.

Fish is the first of several works and commissions to be created in 2007.

ten2fame : : Conspiracy Theories



Yet another edition of ten2fame. This puts up a list of conspiracy theories, and as the list will be endless if not shortlisted, I present the one as follows..

#10. The IPL conspiracy.



An excerpt from IPL Tracker says- "The root cause of this circus is money. Not only money but Black Money. Firstly the franchisees need to convert their unfair share of dirty money into white money. Therefore, they channelled that shit into buying teams. If you calculate the net worth of any of the teams the calculation will sum up to an Income Tax raid. Now they can breath easy. From here on begins the saga. Sponsors come into play, they give money to be seen on screen so that people buy their second rate stuff. The yucky tasteless, bland IPL merchandising sells as if they are the latest fad. Rule of thumb : any product / service which is associated with the IPL in any fashion, then tell yourself that ‘I am are paying for it’. Be it branded blue jeans on Shilpa’s sweet ass or the Zoozoo ad which is now getting sick. Do you know that mobile companies cannot charge you for the calls you make because making a phone call is free to air. Rather they ask you money for ads, posters, air time, special service etc. Even when Royal Challengers are not doing well Dr. Mallaya doesn’t mind as half of India is then drinking Kingfisher. The big fish in the pond is Modi & Co. who organize underground betting. They make a killing with each match. Of the four pillars of IPL two are betting, one is sponsors and the last one is money."


#9. Osama Bin Laden, a pawn of USA.



An article on Conspiracy Planet, as it is-

"The FBI (Federal Bureau of Incompetence)allowed Osama bin Laden, who was the patsy for 9/11, as well as his family members to charter a Saudi flight out of the U.S., according to Judicial Watch, which released new documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act request, related to the "expeditious departure" of Saudi nationals.
(http://www.judicialwatch.org/6322.shtml)

It should be noted that Osama bin Laden was the Bush Cabal's "freedom fighter" before he became their "terrorist."

"According to one of the formerly confidential documents, dated 9/21/2001, terrorist Osama bin Laden may have chartered one of the Saudi flights," reports Judicial Watch.

"The document states: 'ON 9/19/01, A 727 PLANE LEFT LAX, RYAN FLT #441 TO ORLANDO, FL W/ETA (estimated time of arrival) OF 4-5PM. THE PLANE WAS CHARTERED EITHER BY THE SAUDI ARABIAN ROYAL FAMILY OR OSAMA BIN LADEN…THE LA FBI SEARCHED THE PLANE [REDACTED] LUGGAGE, OF WHICH NOTHING UNUSUAL WAS FOUND."

According to some sources, like AL-NAFD, there are some news like "Osama Bin Laden dead and buried in 2001". Conspiracy, is it?


#8. Pearl Harbor Was Allowed to Happen



This theory states that President Roosevelt (FDR) provoked the attack, knew about it in advance and covered up his failure to warn the Hawaiian commanders. FDR needed the attack to sucker Hitler to declare war, since the public and Congress were overwhelmingly against entering the war in Europe. It was his backdoor to war.

Theorists believe that the US was warned by, at least, the governments of Britain, Netherlands, Australia, Peru, Korea and the Soviet Union that a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was coming. All important Japanese codes were broken. FDR and Marshall and others knew the attack was coming, allowed it and covered up their knowledge.


#7. Apollo Moon Landing Hoax



Apollo Moon Landing hoax accusations are claims that some or all elements of the Apollo Moon landings were faked by NASA and possibly members of other involved organizations. Some groups and individuals have advanced alternate historical narratives which tend, to varying degrees, to state that the Apollo Astronauts did not land on the moon, and that NASA created and continues to perpetuate this hoax.

Moon hoax proponents devote a substantial portion of their efforts to examining NASA photos. They point to various issues with photographs and films purportedly taken on the Moon. Experts in photography (even those unrelated to NASA) respond that the anomalies, while sometimes counterintuitive, are in fact precisely what one would expect from a real Moon landing, and contrary to what would occur with manipulated or studio imagery. Hoax proponents also state that whistleblowers may have deliberately manipulated the NASA photos in hope of exposing NASA.

#6. Jewish World Domination



This theory, in recent history, extends mainly from the booklet The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which are widely considered to be the beginning of contemporary conspiracy theory literature. The Protocols are considered by some to be an anti-Jewish literary forgery that purports to describe a Jewish plot to achieve world domination. Numerous independent investigations have repeatedly proven it to be a plagiarism and a hoax, yet numerous independent investigations have shown it to be a factual document.

The text was popularized by those opposed to Russian revolutionary movement, and was disseminated further after the revolution of 1905, becoming known worldwide after the 1917 October Revolution. It was widely circulated in the West in 1920 and thereafter. The Great Depression and the rise of Nazism were important developments in the history of the Protocols.

#5. Princess Diana was Murdered by the Royal Family



In 1997, Princess Diana (Princess of Wales) and Dodi Fayed (son of Mohamed Fayed, owner of the Ritz Hotel and Harrods) were killed in a car accident while trying to get away from press photographers in Paris. The scandal surrounding their relationship (Dodi was Muslim whilst Diana was the mother of the future head of the Church of England) has led many people to speculate that they were actually killed in order to prevent further scandal to the throne of England.

Polls suggest that around a quarter of the UK public, and a majority of people in some Arab countries, believe that there was a plot to murder Diana, Princess of Wales. Motivations which have been advanced for such a conspiracy include suggestions that Diana intended to marry Dodi Fayed, that she intended to convert to Islam, that she was pregnant, and that she was to visit the holy land. Organizations which conspiracy theorists suggest are responsible for her death have included French Intelligence, the British Royal Family, the press, the British Intelligence services MI5 or MI6, the CIA, Mossad, the Freemasons, or the IRA.


#4. Global Warming is a Fraud



The suggestion of a conspiracy to promote the theory of global warming was put forward in a 1990 documentary The Greenhouse Conspiracy broadcast by Channel Four in the United Kingdom on 12 August 1990, as part of the Equinox series, which asserted that scientists critical of global warming theory were denied funding.

William Gray, phD (a pioneer in the science of hurricane forecasting) has made a list of 15 reasons for the global warming hysteria. The list includes the need to come up with an enemy after the end of the Cold War, and the desire among scientists, government leaders and environmentalists to find a political cause that would enable them to ‘organize, propagandize, force conformity and exercise political influence. Big world government could best lead (and control) us to a better world!’ In this article, Gray also cites the ascendancy of Al Gore to the vice presidency as the start of his problems with federal funding. According to him, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration stopped giving him research grants, and so did NASA.

#3. John F. Kennedy’s Assassination



The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 p.m. CST (18:30 UTC). Kennedy was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding with his wife Jacqueline in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza. The official investigation by the Warren Commission was conducted over a ten-month period, and its report was published in September 1964. The Commission concluded that the assassination was carried out solely by Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza.

A number of conspiracy theories exist with regard to the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Such theories began to be generated soon after his death, and continue to be proposed today. Many of these theories propose a criminal conspiracy involving parties such as the Federal Reserve, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the KGB, the Mafia, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director J. Edgar Hoover, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Fidel Castro, George H. W. Bush, Cuban exile groups opposed to the Castro government and the military and/or government interests of the United States.

#2. UFO Recovered at Roswell



The Roswell UFO Incident involved the recovery of materials near Roswell, New Mexico, USA, in July 1947, which have since become the subject of intense speculation, rumor, questioning and research. There are widely divergent views on what actually happened, and passionate debate about what evidence can be believed. The United States military maintains that what was recovered was a top-secret research balloon that had crashed.

By the early 1990s, UFO researchers such as Friedman, William Moore, Karl Pflock, and the team of Kevin Randle and Don Schmitt had interviewed several hundred people [11] who had, or claimed to have had, a connection with the events at Roswell in 1947. Additionally, hundreds of documents were obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests, as were some apparently leaked by insiders, such as the disputed “Majestic 12″ documents. Their conclusions were that at least one alien craft had crashed in the Roswell vicinity, that aliens, some possibly still alive, were recovered, and that a massive cover-up of any knowledge of the incident was put in place.

#1. 9/11 was Planned by the US Government



Many conspiracy theories have been presented concerning the September 11, 2001 attacks, many of them claiming that President George W. Bush and/or individuals in his administration knew about the attacks beforehand and purposefully allowed them to occur because the attacks would generate public support for militarization, expansion of the police state, and other intrusive foreign and domestic policies by which they would benefit.

Proponents point to the Project for the New American Century, a conservative think tank that argues for increased American global leadership, whose former members include ex-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney and several other key Bush administration figures. An 1990 report from the group stated that “some catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor” would be needed to budge public opinion in their favor.
