The "Messiah" Zevi
"Zevi, who was born in Smyrna (Izmir) on 9 Av 5386 [1626]. Shabbetai received a traditional Jewish education; he studied under the most illustrious rabbis of the time... He suffered from severe mood swings... During one such manic spell in Istanbul, he announced that the Torah had been abrogated, crying aloud: “Blessed are you, O Lord our God, who permits the forbidden!”... Shabbetai eventually found his way to the holy land, where he sought out the company of the kabbalist Nathan of Gaza. The latter helped to convince Shabbetai Zevi that he was the messiah, and he proclaimed this fact in 1655, announcing the good news to the Jewish communities of Italy, Holland, Germany, and Poland, as well as to the cities of the Ottoman Empire. Messianic excitement spread like wildfire.. When Shabbetai arrived in Istanbul in January 1666, he was arrested as a rebel and imprisoned. Forced by the Sultan to choose between conversion and death, he became a Muslim." (tumpik.com, 2022)

The Casimir effect: a force from nothing
The attractive force between two surfaces in a vacuum - first predicted by Hendrik Casimir over 50 years ago - could affect everything from micromachines to unified theories of nature.
Although the Casimir force seems completely counterintuitive, it is actually well understood. In the old days of classical mechanics the idea of a vacuum was simple. The vacuum was what remained if you emptied a container of all its particles and lowered the temperature down to absolute zero. The arrival of quantum mechanics, however, completely changed our notion of a vacuum. All fields – in particular electromagnetic fields – have fluctuations. In other words at any given moment their actual value varies around a constant, mean value. Even a perfect vacuum at absolute zero has fluctuating fields known as “vacuum fluctuations”, the mean energy of which corresponds to half the energy of a photon.

Discovery of quantum vibrations in 'microtubules' inside brain neurons supports controversial theory of consciousness
A review and update of a controversial 20-year-old theory of consciousness claims that consciousness derives from deeper level, finer scale activities inside brain neurons. The recent discovery of quantum vibrations in "microtubules" inside brain neurons corroborates this theory, according to review authors. They suggest that EEG rhythms (brain waves) also derive from deeper level microtubule vibrations, and that from a practical standpoint, treating brain microtubule vibrations could benefit a host of mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions.

What are 'binaural beats' and do they affect our brain?
You might have seen online or heard about “binaural beats”, which have been described as “digital drugs”.
Listening to binaural beats has been claimed to help with sleep, stress, anxiety and cognition, and there’s much discussion online about whether or not they can cause a “high” similar to drugs.
But what actually are they?
And what’s the evidence for beneficial or mood-altering effects?
