The weather was clear and there was no distress signal from the cockpit when the plane disappeared from radar screens. A massive search operation combed the Indian Ocean, but the Boeing was never found. After more than nine months, not a single piece of debris from MH has turned up. Despite numerous conspiracy theories , we still don't know what happened to the plane.
Why can’t the world’s greatest minds solve the mystery of consciousness?

The volcano has been unique in three main ways: the enormity of its lava field, the amount of hazardous sulfur dioxide gases it has released and the astonishing amount of sinking that has taken place in its crater. The gases released by the volcano have affected all of Iceland at one point or another, the first time that has happened in years. The Met Office says the amount of sulfur released by this volcano may have exceeded that of any volcano on Earth of this particular type. The eruption has caused the Bardarbunga caldera to sink to feet , swallowing a GPS instrument that had been installed to measure the sinking rate.
This is the largest amount of sinking, or subsidence, at any caldera in Iceland in modern times. Is the man spending life in prison the real killer of Hae Min Lee? Adnan Syed, who is featured in the popular Serial podcast, was convicted of killing Hae Min Lee in A murder case was resurrected and put under the microscope this year thanks to Serial , a nonfiction podcast that unravels a story week by week. Currently, Adnan Syed is serving a life sentence for murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee when they were in high school. When Serial host Sarah Koenig started investigating the case a year ago, the strange story surrounding the murder of the Baltimore high school student, a lot of things didn't add up.
There were no eye-witnesses tying Syed, who has been trying to prove his innocence for years, to the crime, and Syed's attorney, Cristina Gutierrez, failed to interview a witness who said she was with him at the time Lee was killed. Ultimately, a Maryland appeals court will decide the man's fate. A hearing scheduled for January represents what Syed's lawyer, C. Justin Brown, said is the man's "last best chance" at freedom. What caused three deep holes in Russia's north? A foot hole was discovered in Siberia's Yamal peninsula — a name that means "end of the world" in the language of the area's indigenous inhabitants — after an unexplained explosion in July.
Two other mysterious sinkholes popped up in Russia's north shortly after. Scientists believe gas explosions beneath the surface caused the sinkholes, but they haven't been able to confirm that theory. In November, a team of scientists, a medic and a professional climber plunged into the sinkhole to learn more about it, but the cause of the deep holes is still unknown. The middle-aged California couple who discovered the eight decaying tin cans full of gold remain anonymous.

James M. Cain The American author and journalist was known for his hardboiled crime. John Buchan Buchan, otherwise known as Lord Tweedsmuir, was a writer and a politician. Graham Greene Perhaps best known for his Catholic literature, Graham Greene drew on his experience as a member of the M16 to write entertaining thrillers. But in principle the same might apply to the internet, or a smartphone, or a thermostat. The ethical implications are unsettling: might we owe the same care to conscious machines that we bestow on animals?
Koch, for his part, tries to avoid stepping on insects as he walks. Sure enough, when people fall into a deep sleep, or receive an injection of anaesthetic, as they slip into unconsciousness, the device demonstrates that their brain integration declines, too. Gather enough of this kind of evidence, Koch argues and in theory you could take any device, measure the complexity of the information contained in it, then deduce whether or not it was conscious.
But even if one were willing to accept the perplexing claim that a smartphone could be conscious, could you ever know that it was true? Surely only the smartphone itself could ever know that? Koch shrugged. Personally, I have no experience of black holes. But the theory [that predicts black holes] seems always to be true, so I tend to accept it. It would be satisfying for multiple reasons if a theory like this were eventually to vanquish the Hard Problem. The universe is throbbing with it. Last June, several of the most prominent combatants in the consciousness debates — including Chalmers, Churchland and Dennett — boarded a tall-masted yacht for a trip among the ice floes of Greenland.
This conference-at-sea was funded by a Russian internet entrepreneur, Dmitry Volkov, the founder of the Moscow Centre for Consciousness Studies. About 30 academics and graduate students, plus crew, spent a week gliding through dark waters, past looming snow-topped mountains and glaciers, in a bracing chill conducive to focused thought, giving the problem of consciousness another shot.
In the mornings, they visited islands to go hiking, or examine the ruins of ancient stone huts; in the afternoons, they held conference sessions on the boat. For Chalmers, the setting only sharpened the urgency of the mystery: how could you feel the Arctic wind on your face, take in the visual sweep of vivid greys and whites and greens, and still claim conscious experience was unreal, or that it was simply the result of ordinary physical stuff, behaving ordinarily?
The question was rhetorical. Dennett and Churchland were not converted; indeed, Chalmers has no particular confidence that a consensus will emerge in the next century. It would be poetic — albeit deeply frustrating — were it ultimately to prove that the one thing the human mind is incapable of comprehending is itself. An answer must be out there somewhere.
And finding it matters: indeed, one could argue that nothing else could ever matter more — since anything at all that matters, in life, only does so as a consequence of its impact on conscious brains.
