Alcohol doesn’t just slur speech – it tells people where you’re from by enhancing your regional accent

Accents take considerable brain power to suppress – even if we think we have forgotten our regional twang
But alcohol makes it difficult to maintain motor skills
Accents also emerge when ill or tired for same reason

 

Drinking alcohol can make it easier to guess a person’s background because it affects the brain’s ability to control speech and accent.

Adapting or changing the accent we grew up with takes considerable effort by the brain, [...]

Video – Scientific Proof That Nibiru Has Come and Gone!

New Scientific Principle Rules Out Other Theories And Explains Why Nature Is Quantum

We know that things that follow quantum rules, such as atoms, electrons or the photons that make up light, are full of surprises.

They can exist in more than one place at once, for instance, or exist in a shared state where the properties of two particles show what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance”, no matter what their physical separation.

Because such things have been confirmed in experiments, researchers Corsin [...]

H7N9: Greffex “Beats the Clock” to Build the First Comprehensive H7N9 Vaccine

AURORA, Colo. –

Greffex scientists have created the first comprehensive vaccine for H7N9 avian influenza. Spreading from Shanghai, and transmitted by birds, H7N9 avian influenza is a highly pathological virus that kills nearly 20% of people it infects, making it more lethal than the 1918 “Spanish Flu.” As infected birds display no symptoms, the spread of the virus is difficult to control. While human-to-human transmission of H7N9 is rare, few [...]
