      So the "junk" is now the "dark matter".

      That speaks volumes Scientists.

      WOW! WOW! WOW!

      “Most of the changes that affect disease don’t lie in the genes themselves; they lie in the switches,” said Michael Snyder, a Stanford University researcher for the project, called Encode, for Encyclopedia of DNA Elements.

      And that, said Dr. Bradley Bernstein, an Encode researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital, “is a really big deal.” He added, “I don’t think anyone predicted that would be the case.”

      Indeed, AMAZING!

      440 scientists from 32 laboratories around the world.

      At least four million switches for 20,000 genes.

      These switches can on/off/higher/lower.

      So the "junk" is now critical.

      Thank you scientists for being so wrong yet not being dogmatic with the "junk" label.

      I really liked this guest. Thank you.

      I liked her analogy of the junk DNA and likening it to the Occupy Wall Street slogan of the 1% vs 99% and that all the spotlight has been on the 1% in the past even though the 99% dark matter DNA is doing the real and important work in the background in our bodies, in the world and in our societies.

      Very telling and on this note Happy 1st Birthday to OWS.

      I agree with REMant's comment below regarding the frequent ignorance and arrogance of many scientists regarding the mysteries and the power of the universe and universal energy (consciousness). I am very grateful however and relieved that this knowledge has been lifted from the darkness into the light and the science books. I very much agree that these are exciting and important times to be alive in.

      Let us make the best of them, together.

      Thank you for sharing. Cancer was the cause from 12 dimensional soul, but still not sure how thing works.

      New understanding of eight senses or eight consciousnesses:

      5 senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell by eye, ear, tongue, skin and nose.

      6 sense (12 Dimension): the invisible soul inside our body.

      7 sense (12 Dimension and 46 Dimension): invisible and immortal “data cable” transferring information between 6 sense and 8 sense during sleeping.

      8 sense (46 Dimension and 48 Dimension): soul kept inside mother earth. Invisible and immortal.

      3 Dimension: Nothingness, only higher dimensional information and energy.

      12 Dimension: Deception

      46 Dimension: Information

      48 Dimension: Emotion, Compassion, information, Creativity, wisdom and intuition.

      12 Dimensional Soul enters into human body at 4th month of pregnancy. 46 Dimensional Soul enters into human body at age of between 2 to 6 years old. 46 Dimensional souls have no childhood.

      Chakras are information and energy exchange centers with other Galaxies in different time lines.

      When I first learned about this I just thought how stupid can scientists be? What did they expect? What indeed do they expect "dark matter" is?
