Mount Stromlo – Our Australian National Observatory

SkyMapper, the Australian project involves the fastest and most precise survey telescope ever built has the potential to provide an enormous wealth of new data to be shared by the world. It will function over distances impossible for us to imagine, and produce information about the constituents of stars in galaxies so remote we have not yet been able to name them.

Water Future in Australia

The extent of Australian brown landscapes and semi arid regions does not allow the rainfall we require for all our purposes. Productivity from the land is confined to particular regions that can better support our agricultural industries and farms.We are wanting more water and more rain and yet on the conservation side, trying to institute methods that will save the general consumption of water in the community. However, in spite of many minor changes, there remain other vexing questions–

Over-use of Antidepressants

Patients are not getting the promised results after taking prescribed medication from the range of drugs now commonly known as antidepressants. Not only are the benefits in question, but also the growing categories of ‘side effects’ that follow a course of these drugs. ‘Antidepressants’ is a misnomer – these drugs can actually cause depression and intensify than the original symptoms for which the medication was prescribed. One clinical trial of the drug Halcion, for instance, resulted

Astronomy in Australia

At the Swinburne University of Technology a spokesperson mentions about 40% of these students being from Australia with the balance arriving from many countries. They are interested in benefiting by the on-line educational system that offers a graduate certificate and diploma as well as a masters of astronomy but must have an undergraduate degree, not necessarily in science. Included in the course are units on the planets, stars, galaxies as well as general cosmology and the history of astronomy

GM Methods Endanger Organic Farming

Some families have a member who is suffering allergies, asthma or various acute symptoms or even severe ones, that can be traced back to a need for improved nutrition, or the need to eliminate certain foods that cause negative reactions. It is quite feasible that many conditions we are now suffering in the community can be traced back to consumption of unnaturally produced, genetically engineered food.

The Sun – Prime Power Source

Nuclear fusion is a line of science that offers a potential for the use of hydrogen, ionised to form a plasma. The process generates little radioactive waste and what is created is short lived offering a wonderful, clean alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear fission.

Trying to Grasp the Grandeur

There are estimates that that 100 billion known galaxies, each containing billions of stars could be harbouring a possible 100 billion trillion worlds that exist out there….and that’s not all……..

Psychiatrists Speak Out On Drugs

There has been an ‘epidemic’ of diagnosed cases of mental illness of various kinds in the community, with depression as a major problem. But some doctors are in question regarding their professional integrity when young children, even infants are being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder and other conditions for which psychiatric drugs are prescribed. Medication of this nature and for this age group is totally unreasonable and is causing harm, not creating good health

Medicine Must Find an Alternative Way

That modern medicine actually causes deaths is a reality. This is in utter contrast to the principles and dedicated classical role of those who have traditionally taken the Hippocratic Oath of healing. Things have changed.

Iatrogenic is the term now used to define human ill health, diseases and even fatal consequences of medical mistakes made in clinics, hospitals, surgeries, and through erroneous medical treatment or advice.
