Leo Goeyens Good and Bad Food Science
Separating the wheat from the chaff
Imagine biting into a burger that was produced without having to slaughter the animal. Why not say "yes" to genetically edited (gene-edited) food crops? Does corn turn hamster mothers into cannibals? Should we fear unrestrained use of glyphosate in years to come? Will Cupid's arrows assume the form of a nasal oxytocin spray? Vertical farming: eco-friend or foe? These are just some of the challenging and often awkward questions Leo Goeyens confronts his readers with. Human activity has brought many...

Isotopes in vitreous materials
For all archaeological artefactual evidence, the study of the provenance, production technology and trade of raw materials must be based on archaeometry. Whereas the study of the provenance and trade of stone and ceramics is already well advanced, this is not necessarily the case for ancient glass. The nature of the raw materials used and the geographical location of their transformation into artefacts often remain unclear. Currently, these questions are addressed by the use of radiogenic isotope...

Vincent Icke Gravity does not exist
a puzzle for the 21st century
Every scientific fact was born as an opinion about the unknown - a hypothesis. Opinion gradually becomes fact as evidence piles up to support a theory. But what if there are two theories, each of which has produced a myriad of things that correspond perfectly to the phenomena but can't be combined into one? One theory replaced the mystery of gravity with a precise model of space and time. The other theory replaced the mystery of matter with a description of quantum particles. As we understand our...
