Scientists crack secrets of Mona Lisa
Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is examined with a noninvasive technique called X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to study the thickness of paint layers and their chemical composition.
PARIS — The enigmatic smile remains a mystery, but French scientists say they have cracked a few secrets of the "Mona Lisa."
PARIS — The enigmatic smile remains a mystery, but French scientists say they have cracked a few secrets of the "Mona Lisa."
French researchers studied seven of the Louvre Museum's Leonardo da Vinci paintings, including the "Mona Lisa," to analyze the master's use of successive ultrathin layers of paint and glaze — a technique that gave his works their dreamy quality.
Specialists from the Center for Research and Restoration of the Museums of France found that da Vinci painted up to 30 layers of paint on his works to meet his standards of subtlety. Added up, all the layers are less than 40 micrometers, or about half the thickness of a human hair, researcher Philippe Walter said Friday.
The technique, called "sfumato," allowed Leonardo to give outlines and contours a hazy quality and create an illusion of depth and shadow. His use of the technique is well-known, but scientific study on it has been limited because tests often required samples from the paintings.
The French researchers used a noninvasive technique called X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to study the paint layers and their chemical composition.
They brought their specially developed high-tech tool into the museum when it was closed and studied the portraits' faces, which are emblematic of sfumato. The project was developed in collaboration with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble.
The tool is so precise that "now we can find out the mix of pigments used by the artist for each coat of paint," Walter told The Associated Press. "And that's very, very important for understanding the technique."
The analysis of the various paintings also shows Leonardo was constantly trying out new methods, Walter said. In the "Mona Lisa," da Vinci used manganese oxide in his shadings. In others, he used copper. Often he used glazes, but not always.
The results were published Wednesday in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, a chemistry journal.
Tradition holds that the "Mona Lisa" is a painting of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocondo, and that Leonardo started painting it in 1503. Giorgio Vasari, a 16th-century painter and biographer of Leonardo and other artists, wrote that the perfectionist Leonardo worked on it for four years

^Sup smokedacan, I know you have a lot to add to this thread, homie...
I don't know what to think of this story which has been on going since the 80's.
The lizard man of Lee County South Carolina
Here is the original story they were referring to in the first vid. Christopher Davis reported he was nearly attacked by a 7 foot tall looking "lizard man" looking creature. Afterward sightings have been ongoing. I even think the news story went national.
some news paper clippings

Would not be the first time the gov has experimented on its own citizens for bio warfare purposes.
However, the sector/sectors of the gov responsible for something like this imo are darker than black and not even the president is aware of their existence.
Possibly the scariest UFO disappearance case on record
The story of missing Australian pilot Frederick Valentich
Basically, Australian pilot Frederick Valentich goes missing after reporting an encounter with a very mysterious aircraft to air traffic control. Before completely disappearing off of radar a strange metallic noise is heard over the airways for precisely 17 seconds before Valentich is never heard from again. No wreckage has ever been recovered.
actual transcript of Valentich last conversation with air traffic control

Not sure what these people saw, but the story always fascinated me.
The first sighting of the supposed Mothman occurred on November 12, 1966. A group of gravediggers working in a cemetery in Clendenin, West Virginia saw the figure fly through the air, right over their heads. Other people began seeing the same creature, which they described as looking like a man with wings.
On November 15 two different couples in Point Pleasant had their own firsthand encounters with the Mothman. They claimed it was at least six foot tall, and closer to seven feet tall. They also described its bright eyes, and the huge wings on its back. The four saw the creature fly through the air after first unfolding its large wings. They also claimed the creature flew at speeds of at least 100 miles per hour.
For some, the sightings of the Mothman coincided with reports of other strange things in the area. There were reports of UFO's in the area, and stories of strange men in black stopping locals on the road. One weekend over 500 reports came in regarding strange lights and things spotted in the skies above Point Pleasant. The Mothman was the real story though, with over 100 reports occurring in a single year.
The real story of the Mothman came on December 15, 1967. Cars were passing over the 700 foot bridge that connected Point Pleasant and Ohio when the bridge suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed. The rush hour traffic crossing the bridge was caught in the middle. Cars were sent into the icy river, and 46 people were killed. Only 44 of those bodies were found, and they were all buried in the same cemetery in Gallipolis, Ohio.
The night the bridge collapsed, people in the area spotted strange lights above Point Pleasant. Others in the area saw a man who appeared on their doorstep, asking questions about the mysterious
lights they saw in the sky over previous months. He seemed nice, though most people reported that he made them feel uneasy or uncomfortable. By all indications, that was the last time the Mothman was seen in Point Pleasant WV.

I can explain all this shit.
yeah please do
unbelievable. great thread finger
We don't understand cognition. We just know what regions light up.,But I forgot to say,"add information"...
This "paradox" has been explained and understood. Ref: David Bohm's ontology of Quantum Mechanics or the Wave Structure of Matter (Dr Milo Wolff).
There are no such things as particles. They just exist as [optical] illusions.
"Light and matter are both single entities, and the apparent duality arises in the limitations of our language." - Werner Heisenberg
Humans were not even around 65 million years ago, never mind people who could work metal. So then how does science explain semi-ovoid metallic tubes dug out of 65-million-year-old Cretaceous chalk in France? In 1885, a block of coal was broken open to find a metal cube obviously worked by intelligent hands. In 1912, employees at an electric plant broke apart a large chunk of coal out of which fell an iron pot! A nail was found embedded in a sandstone block from the Mesozoic Era. And there are many, many more such anomalies.
What are we to make of these finds? There are several possibilities:
•Intelligent humans date back much, much further than we realize.
•Other intelligent beings and civilizations existed on earth far beyond our recorded history.
•Our dating methods are completely inaccurate, and that stone, coal and fossils form much more rapidly than we now estimate.
In any case, these examples - and there are many more - should prompt any curious and open-minded scientist to reexamine and rethink the true history of life on earth.

Time is not fragmented.Cool ass thread
i may have a few things to add, let me go see.....
maybe sending something back to a time before the machine is made is harder and/or takes a bit more energy to do. th stuff we see stuck in rocks could've just been test to see if they could get something to earth, for all we know our whole solar system is littered with "test rocks" wit weird shit in em lol. Wasnt there a rock with a frog or turtle found in it?
Fragmented time is just human delusion to give our lives meaning and help our physics make sense by adding a 4th dimension where otherwise, the 3 dimensions of space would be meaningless.
Time is continuous. If it wasn't then we could explain everything. That includes everything in this thread.
Until we master some hyper-physics, which will let us go faster than light OR some new mathematics that lets us divide matrices OR somehow create negative temperature, we can't travel back in 'time'.

Good thread. Most of this is right up my alley. Some of it a bit much but sure. My biggest oddity to me is puma punko. I'm actually planning on going to visit next summer.
Images or something later.

By the way, regarding some of these claims of archeological mysteries (and their popular implications) here's an article from the Scientific American magazine that tries to understand the psychology behind this; "Agenticity"
Though i don't entirely agree with the absoluteness of the thesis, it still makes a lot of sense.

Very interesting article in its entirety, but this portion get straight to the heart of things IMO, the bold part is profound and implicating on levels deeper than the movie inception!
" So we make two types of errors: a type I error, or false positive, is believing a pattern is real when it is not; a type II error, or false negative, is not believing a pattern is real when it is. If you believe that the rustle in the grass is a dangerous predator when it is just the wind (a type I error), you are more likely to survive than if you believe that the rustle in the grass is just the wind when it is a dangerous predator (a type II error). Because the cost of making a type I error is less than the cost of making a type II error "
