(Paul Joseph Watson) — The revelation that Rolling Stone journalist Michael Hastings was working on a story about the CIA before his death and had contacted a Wikileaks lawyer about being under investigation by the FBI hours before his car exploded into flames has bolstered increasingly valid claims that the 33-year-old was assassinated.
Hastings died early Tuesday morning in Hollywood when his car allegedly hit a tree at high speed. The Los Angeles Coroner’s office has not yet been able to officially identify the body as Hastings because it is so badly burned.
Skeptics of the official narrative have highlighted eyewitness accounts which state that Hastings’ Mercedes “exploded”. . . . Read Complete Report
From millennium-skipping Victorians to phone booth-hopping teenagers, the term time travel often summons our most fantastic visions of what it means to move through the fourth dimension. But of course you don’t need a time machine or a fancy wormhole to jaunt through the years. . . . read complete article

Time travel has been a staple of science fiction. With the advent of general relativity it has been entertained by serious physicists. But, especially in the philosophy literature, there have been arguments that time travel is inherently paradoxical. The most famous paradox is the grandfather paradox: you travel back in time and kill your grandfather, thereby preventing your own existence. To avoid inconsistency some circumstance will have to occur which makes you fail in this attempt to kill your grandfather. Doesn’t this require some implausible constraint on otherwise unrelated circumstances? We examine such worries in the context of modern physics. . . . read complete report
With a brilliant idea and equations based on Einstein’s relativity theories, Ronald Mallett from the University of Connecticut has devised an experiment to observe a time traveling neutron in a circulating light beam. While his team still needs funding for the project, Mallett calculates that the possibility of time travel using this method could be verified within a decade. . . . Read complete report
One of mankind’s greatest dreams is the development of a time machine. The argument as to whether it is even possible to go forward or back in time is an age old argument. This BBC special is probably as close as any of us will ever be able to make the trip. The concept, the photography and special effects in this documentary is extraordinary. I give it 5 stars. * * * * *. . . . editor
Is this lady caught during the filming of the opening of the 1928 Charlie Chaplin film “The Circus” at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood really speaking on a cell phone? Did the camera operator actually accidentally catch a quick shot of a time traveler? Judge for yourself. Comments welcome . . . EDITOR
It’s not just the best thing to happen to movie titles since Snakes on a Plane; the new comedy Hot Tub Time Machine (opening Friday, March 26) is also the latest in a long line of time travel movies, stretching back from at least the 1940s into (we presume) the distant future.
The new film depicts a group of friends who are transported back to 1986 from the present day, thanks to their special hot tub. (We’re still not sure how the physics work, exactly.) Here, the time travel is played for laughs, but in other time travel movies — typically, science-fiction films — the aim might be to scare, thrill, or provoke deep thought.
Of course, such films are not always successful. Below, we look at the best and worst movies featuring time travel, starting with the good. . . . continue to lists

A colleague asked me today for a crash course on the “Stop Online Privacy Act” (SOPA). I sent him my feature at the O’Reilly Radar, where I wrote about how Congress is considering anti-piracy bills that could cripple Internet industries and harm digital innovation. The thing is, that post is about 6,000 words long and is now a month out of date. So here’s the briefing I sent back.
Who else supports SOPA? The RIAA, MPAA, big Hollywood and big labor. Ergo, there’s bipartisan coalition of 39 co-sponsors that supports it in the House or Representatives. Why? As always, follow the money. Oh, and all of these companies support SOPA too. . . .continue report
