It is not conspiracy theory, are facts: an analysis of relations between multinational corporations around 43,000 made by the Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland found that 174 companies (mostly banks) have a disproportionate power over the rest of the world. These 174 projects are considered “super-entity” who control 40% of the world economy. This does not necessarily mean money, but concentration of power (companies that have shares in other companies or that run). They are so interconnected, so intrinsic, that is a destabilizing impact on every other chain.
It has also become alarmed? So, you can now join the movement Occupy Wall Street (or Occupy Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro Occupy finally: Occupy the whole world) to try to change the governance of this powerful 1% on 99% of “other people”. Or simply understand why this movement has become easy matter in social networks in recent weeks.

Each day, satellite captures the equivalent of 1.5 terabyte of data on the Sun

The U.S. space agency NASA released new images of the Suncaptured by its satellite called Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO,in English).
NASA is working closely with the University of Central Lancashire(UCLan), in Britain, to monitor unprecedented detail the star’s magnetic field and solar corona.
The images have ten times the quality of a high-definitiontelevision. See the gallery.
The UCLan is one of the European centers studying data collectedby the SDO. In Britain, it is the only institute that provides pictureswith studies of the Sun
The telescope is 80 satellite images of the sun every minute,generating the equivalent of 1.5 terabytes of data per day, equivalent to half a million songs downloaded from iTunes.
Besides the scientific interest, the images are also used asinspiration for a work of digital artist Chris Meigh-Andrews, a professor at the same university.
The captured images are being projected on a screen in a Britishcity streets of Preston by the end of this week.
