Some extremely smart people (the “Revive & Restore Initiative“) are starting a new project called “De-Extinction”. There’s a big conference and TED “talk” happening tomorrow at The National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C., to which you may tune in here.

New York is full of secrets and mysteries. All you have to do is walk around for a day (or a night) and you are guaranteed to find something amazing, intriguing, or mystifying. Here’s one Brooklyn based “secret” right on the street in plain view that is fascinating and even a little spooky…

Essentially, we are inside a giant unfurling explosion that might just be happening in a split second on some other spatial level…
