Breakthroughs From 2007 Most Likely to Change the World

science, discovery, breakthroughs2007 was an amazing year for science, and Wired News has captured the best of what took place in their first annual Top 10 Scientific Breakthroughs of 2007. Here’s what made the grade:

10. Smaller Transistors: Intel was able to reduce the size of features on their chips from 65 nanometers to 45 nanometers.

9. A Rhesus Monkey is Cloned to Make Stem Cells: This implies that cells from a sick patient could one day be cloned to make stem cells from their own bodies, which could be used to repair their own organs without risk of rejection.

8. Planets Discovered That May Harbor Life: A pair of potentially life-containing planets was found in a distant solar system.

7. A Transparent Material as Strong as Steel: Using nanometer-sized clay particles, engineers created a lightweight material with extraordinary strength.

6. Soft Tissue From a T. Rex Analyzed: The biological molecules from a well-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex leg bone revealed it had a lot in common with modern-day chickens.

5. Rhett Syndrome in Lab Mice Cured: This implies that Rhett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder that prevents children from walking and talking, and causes tremors, may be curable.

4. Enzymes Convert Any Blood Type to O: Since almost everyone can tolerate blood type O, this technology could help hospitals treat patients during blood shortages.

3. Dinosaur Mummy Excavated and Scanned: The nearly intact mummy of a plant-eating dinosaur was captured in 3-D images. Already, a striped pattern on its scales, and surprising information about its muscles mass and bone spacing, have been revealed.

2. Chimpanzees Make Spears for Hunting: Anthropologists observed female chimpanzees break branches from trees, strip the leaves and sharpen the tips, then use them to hunt small animals.

1. Skin Cells Turned Into Stem Cells: Researchers turned skin cells into stem cells without using eggs or having to destroy human embryos. The cells often turned cancerous, however, but the researchers believe they can tweak the process to create tissues that don’t turn into tumors.

Dr. Mercola''s Comments Dr. Mercola's Comments:

This is truly an exciting time to be alive!

New discoveries are occurring all around us, and for the first time in history you have access to much of this information at your fingertips. Did you know, for instance, that a week’s worth of the New York Times has more information in it than a person living in the 18th century would have come across in their entire lifetime?

In the modern world, information is doubling every two years. All of this information can be mind-boggling, but it is also empowering.

If you are reading this, it means you are fortunate to have access to the Internet, which means the world is quite literally in front of you. Since you are reading this newsletter, it means you have also taken an interest in what is perhaps the most important issue you could ever face: your health.

And I would like to invite you to take part in an unprecedented opportunity to gain access to the best resources, and the leading experts, for your health, in one place and in a fraction of the time it would take you to search through the endless pages of information that are out there.

You see, I am very fortunate to have relatively easy access to ‘the best of the best’ minds in natural health in the world … and am actually personal friends with many of them. I have been grilling several of them for their best health secrets -- the secrets that you won’t hear on the mainstream news for perhaps years or decades to come, if ever -- and now I have made them available to you.

I’ve compiled their pearls of wisdom into two-to-three hour interviews, which you gain exclusive access to when you join my brand new Inner Circle program.

These insights, along with the other resources the Inner Circle provides, will raise your health awareness to an entirely different level in 2008. I can guarantee this because these are the same resources I have used to expand my health knowledge and expertise to where it is today.

As for me, I am continuing my journey as a lifelong student, and am eagerly anticipating the new things that will transpire this year to take us one step closer to a health care paradigm that will heal rather than harm.

Operative Word: "Swindle"

If we each are to be judged on our carbon foot prints, personally, or in practice, judging on Al Gore's GIRTH in both departments, the Nobel committee who choose him needs to recalled and replaced.

Quackery and politics has replaced real empirical science in this Nobel award.

So true Dex and Russ.  I wonder if Al Gore eats organic?  I just got finished reading the book Taken By Storm by Christopher Essex and Ross McKitrick and it sure clears up a lot of misconceptions about global warming.  Like the fact that they never factored in turbulence (wind, rain, snow, hurricanes, tornadoes) into that famous Temperature graph.  They don't know what the weather is going to be like next week, so are they that arrogant to be able to forecast what it's going to be like in 10, 20, 30 years?  Believe it or not, turbulence has everything to do with climate change.
How about #11 - an enterprising Ontario, Canada company has developed a system where they can turn farm plastic into lumber.

I agree,Dex. The Nobel peace prize is a scam; it was awarded to the late murderer, Arafat. Gore has a huge carbon footprint but little was made of the fact that the home of George Bush is powered by alternative energy and eco-friendly. One walks the talk, the other (Gore) just talks.

Yes. And also: fighting the global climate change (global climate has always changed) means redirecting financial resources from the real environmental problems to something that is no real problem. So what Al Gore is doing harms the environment in the end. What we spend against CO2 release cannot be spent against mercury pollution etc.

I do not agree with you Birute.

Arafat is NOT a murder.

please answer me by NUMBERS:

How many did Arafat kill?

How many did Aerial Sharon kill?

How many did Israel kill?

How many did the US kill in Nagasaki and Hiroshima?

Ho many did Allies kill in WWI and WWII?

just one small sample en.wikipedia.org/.../Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_War_II

"The raids saw 1,300 heavy bombers drop over 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices in under 15 hours, destroying 13 square miles (34 km²) of the city ..  Estimates of civilian casualties vary greatly, but recent publications place the figure between 24,000 and 40,000"

after you look at the numbers then you will know who is the murder.

we are here to learn and exchange good positive info for our good so please let the dirty politics out.

To all of you who gave me negatives:

You are all Hypocrites, I'm not going to die because of your negatives, you live in a chosen darkness, you do not want to open your mind to the FACTS.

The ostrich technique doesn't work.

To be straight to the point, the US and it's Allies (including Israel) (from WWI going through WWII until now in Iraq), US killed MILLIONS of civilians (in Iraq alone British civil rights groups estimated that less than ONE million civilians died since 2003 since the US invasion, do your own research and you will know where our tax money are being spent.

If you can't stop what BUSH and his gang doing now at least don't come through your negatives on someone like me who trying to spell the truth out

The "transparent aluminum" sounds like 'Aurora' (scram jet spy plane with very HIGH Mach speed capabilities, discussed in several aeronautical geek magazine, despite being so-called 'classified') fuselage material?

I remember a 5 star DOD general 'kicking the three tires', visible on a tarmac, of an 'invisible' fighter jet in a New Yorker magazine cartoon, and the caption read something to the effect: "Man, you just don't get very much for a 'Billion Dollars' anymore..."

And and far as I know, Al Gore didnt mention one thing about chemtrails which makes me quite suspicious; he is still a politician and that always makes me suspicious!

chucksheen,

Thank you For bringing up this major issue. I just came in from watching chemtrailing. They do it in parallel stripes mostly. I'd gone out to enjoy the sunshine, jonquils, and cats. Ended up watching as the magnificent blue sky became methodically hidden behind a thick layer of murky whitish peace gas. Not good for the mood.

Are we becoming walking antennae? How do we detox? Comments, Dr. Mercola?? Anyone???
