What happens when we die? This spiritual question has haunted humanity since the dawn of thought. Yet despite centuries of soul-searching, the mystery of consciousness remains unsolved.
The Universe is vast – and strangely, half-empty. For decades, cosmologists have wrestled with the “missing baryon problem”, a puzzling deficit of ordinary matter…
In 1977, humankind sent a machine into the interstellar void to tell the Universe who we were. Now, 48 years later, the void may have answered with a message to Voyager…

The brain is a bio-chemical organ that emanates electromagnetic waves. That little, we do know. And brainwaves are linked to cognitive states from awareness and consciousness, to dream states. But what are their particularities? And are brain waves modulated by external frequencies?
