Predicting the Near Future in Extraordinary Times
The next 3 years will see deep fundamental changes in human civilization.
Art can help us to see the future. If you know how, by observing trends in modern art, you can tell what the near future heralds.
Breakthroughs in science is coming. Exponential change, unlike what we have seen before is a result of transition in expanded human consciousness.
The Solar System's journey in the Milky Way galaxy following natural long cycles measured in thousands of years ushers in these changes. John, like an ancient Tao master, with modern techniques to gaze at the unseen universe forecasts world changing events.
Water Research for Revolutionary Breakthroughs
Breakthroughs in science is rare. Water research holds great promises and yet is not well funded. This short clip explains the reasons for a dearth in revolutionary technologies.
For a longer synopsis click the button below. Prof. Pollack will be discussing these and more on Monday, 15th July.
Young Cosmonauts School and the New Russian Cosmism
The Young Cosmonauts School is co-organized by the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre and the Association for the Ecology of the Unknown.
Aerospace science is one of the necessary underpinnings of the knowledge to go into space. Just as important is the ethics that undergirds this science which was articulated by the founders of Russian space travel and rocketry. Updated today as the new Russian Cosmism.
