  Color plays an important role in the world we live in. Colors can influence the way we think, the things we feel and the way we act. They can change our mood, raise our blood pressure or even suppress our appetite. From intelligent marketing strategies to energy consumption, the application of colours is everywhere. To understand the colourful world we live in, we must first understand our relationship with colours. Light Electromagnetic radiation is characterized by its wavelength and its intensity. When the wavelength is within the visible spectrum (400 nm to 700 nm), it is known as "visible light". Visible light is a small part within the electromagnetic spectrum that human eyes are sensitive to. Visible light waves are essentially the electromagnetic waves we can see. They consist of different wavelengths. Each wavelength is a particular colour. The colour we see is a result of which wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes. Red has the longest wavelength, and...

  Introduction In the 1950s, Robert Monroe, a radio broadcasting executive, was studying the effects of sound on human consciousness producing evidence that specific sound patterns have identifiable effects on human capabilities including alertness, sleepiness, expanded states of consciousness, and sensations of paralysis and vibration culminating in an out-of-body experience (OBE). He even published the “Journeys Out of the Body”, a book that is credited with popularizing the term “out-of-body experience”. In 1975 Monroe registered the first patent concerning audio techniques designed to stimulate brain functions until the left and right hemispheres become synchronized – the "Hemi-Sync" (hemispheric synchronization), and claimed that it could be used to promote mental well-being or to trigger an altered state of consciousness. Around the same time, individual governments were conducting and investing in psychic research and experiments for their respective armies, like t...

  The Past "If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.” Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-American inventor and engineer is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system and is considered to be one of the greatest minds of all time. But, he was also a man of mysteries and secrets. Almost all genius minds have a certain obsession, he had his too! Tesla would walk around a block for three times before entering a building, he would clean his plates with 18 napkins, he lived in hotel rooms only with a room number divisible by 3. He would make calculations about things in his immediate environment to make sure the result is divisible by 3 and base his choices upon the results. Some said he had OCD and some believed he was superstitious, but the internet says that Tesla justified his actions with the statement quoted above. There is no reference anywhere of it being truly...
