This link takes you to an interesting article covering what happens when the Pineal Gland is calcified. The fact that calcification of the Pineal really impairs navigational ability makes us think that this proves that the Pineal is critical to animal navigation.

Intro I have put together this article to spell out some of the thinking that I have come across recently. A lot is highly contentious (such as Torsion waves) but as we struggle to understand how animals (and humans) navigate effortlessly, ideas which seemed so strong suddenly seem to be beset by impossible conditions. We…
Here are the points to be added that I anticipated or predicted that they should happen as proof or implied consequences of my animal navigation model. The posting in the website is Introduction to my Ideas from Sept 2013 – “Gravity and Gyro effects are the basis of animal navigation, by Antonio Nafarrate“. Appendix. 1) From a paper by…
You may be interested in how the data is collected for tracking animals. Biotrack is a British company that helps and advises on the best systems to use. The geolocator is fascinating, it uses The longitudinal estimate of the location of the tag at any point in time is determined with reference to the time of…
Here is a link to Monarch Butterflies http://phys.org/tags/monarch+butterflies/ Editor’s remark I have difficulty understanding these results which suggest that Cryptrochromes are involved which I am fairly clear is impossible as there is not enough time for the quantum coherence to take place. Inclination compasses are very inaccurate as there can be huge changes locally due to…
Every three years the Royal Institute of Navigation hosts a conference in the UK for everyone interested in Animal navigation. The next one is in 2016: RIN16 (Animal Navigation) 13/04/2016 12:00:00 to 15/04/2016 12:00:00 Royal Holloway College, London RIN16 Orientation & Navigation Birds, Humans & Other Animals will be the ninth International Conference on Animal…
Simon Raggett (one of our editors) has sent us this fascinating link discussing the origin of life and the hidden role of Quantum Criticality: https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/the-origin-of-life-and-the-hidden-role-of-quantum-criticality-ca4707924552 as he says: This might be thought to have possible implications for links between organisms and surrounding electromagnetic fields.
