Operation Essex - G+ Community Archive

Hi again! Okay, so is it just me, or has there been a bunch of weird news over the last week or so? I've been starting to catch up on the Ingress books/comics (but definitely not done yet!), and maybe it's just because my head is full of Niantic stuff, but I can't help but wonder if there's more than meets the eye with respect to, say, this discovery of a new, superconductive state of matter:  http://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-discovered-a-new-state-of-matter-the-jahn-teller-effect I'm not a scientist, but could that help explain, for example, XM as a type of energy, transmitted with no "resistance" (as per the article...just now noticing the potential punning...)? For that matter, look at this related video:  http://www.sciencealert.com/watch-magnetic-buckyballs-in-a-blender-light-up-like-fireworks ...seems like an interesting explanation for the lights that appear at portals and attending XM... And one more from the "strange truths" ...

Hi everyone! New here, but really happy to have found this community. :) I'm finally ramping up my G+ account, since it seems like this is where most of the Niantic action takes place? I put together a list of useful accounts to follow (apologies if that's been done elsewhere), but I'd love input from you as to whom else I should be watching! Also, I'm not totally sure where to post this, so do forgive me if I've put it in the wrong category...
