QBox theory may offer glimpse of reality deeper than quantum realm

QBox theory may offer glimpse of reality deeper than quantum realm

Published by skeptic

There may be a layer of reality even deeper than the quantum realm Cappan/iStockphoto/Getty Images Physicists are making new inroads into the world of post-quantum theories, uncovering what reality may look like on a level deeper and stranger than the already infamously odd quantum theory. In the 1920s, physicists had several extremely useful theories for how the world works, yet they kept uncovering situations where those theories didn’t work. Through these holes in so-called classical physics, they glimpsed a deeper layer of the world that underlies everything – the quantum realm. Now, physicists are having déjà vu. Quantum theory works incredibly well, but it also has gaping holes when confronted with cosmically large objects controlled by gravity. What sort of post-quantum world could reveal itself through that hole? James Hefford at the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology and Matt Wilson at Paris-Saclay University, both in France, have now developed a mathematical sketch of one plausible post-quantum world, possibly the deepest layer of reality yet. “Quantum theory doesn’t describe the entire universe,” …

Pink and her husband are sticking to their promise of making their daughter’s Broadway dreams come true! Last month, the “Raise Your Glass” singer announced that she and her husband Carey Hart had moved from Los Angeles to New York City so their daughter Willow could pursue theatre studies. In addition to the 14-year-old, the couple, who have been married since 2006, are parents to son Jameson, nine. Over the weekend, Carey took to Instagram and revealed that Willow spent her spring break catching up with, what else, Broadway shows. He first shared a photo of him and Willow posing with the Maybe Happy Ending cast, followed by snaps of the Times Square theaters and one of Willow with Shoshana Bean. “Willz and I did spring break a lil different this year,” he then wrote, explaining: “Over 4 days, we took in 5 shows.

In the clip shared Friday, ahead of the Sunday premiere, Zendaya’s drug addicted protagonist, Rue, is seen speeding through Mexico’s Chihuahuan Desert in a dusty SUV. As she approaches the U.S. border, she pays a motorcyclist to set up a makeshift platform so she can drive across. However, after she makes her way up, the car gets stuck at the top. She tries to reverse the car and shift the weight to help free it, but neither attempt works. Instead, she climbs out and continues her journey on foot. The brief teaser has been celebrated by eager fans, many of whom noted that the scene feels like a …

Paris Jackson shares intimate glimpse of private getaway

Published by Daniella Wilson

Paris Jackson has given fans a rare and deeply personal look into her world, sharing a series of quietly beautiful moments from what appears to be a restorative private getaway. The 28-year-old model and musician took to Instagram with a collection of softly shot, almost cinematic images that feel far removed from the spotlight, offering instead a glimpse of a slower, more grounded pace of life. In one particularly striking photo, Paris sits wrapped in a blanket inside a car, her face half-shadowed as sunlight filters through the window. Outside, a whimsical roadside figure stands behind a wire fence, adding an unexpected, almost dreamlike quality to the scene. © InstagramParis’ intimate getaway It’s the kind of image that feels less like a posed photograph and more like a fleeting moment captured mid-thought, a theme that carries through the entire series. Another image shows Paris seated at a café, her signature curls falling loosely around her face as she rests her head gently in her hand. Dressed in a simple long-sleeved top, layered jewellery and minimal …

Ghost map: Europe’s first glimpse of Tenochtitlan shows a city already destroyed

Ghost map: Europe’s first glimpse of Tenochtitlan shows a city already destroyed

Published by Jenni Sidey

For early 16th-century Europeans, this map was a revelation. It showed a previously unknown island metropolis in the recently discovered Americas — an alien Venice, if you will. However, by the time this first European portrait of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan was published in 1524, the city, once home to perhaps 200,000 people, was already gone — razed in 1521 by Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. In its place, Mexico City would eventually rise. Yet this is more than the ghost map of a recently deceased city. It is a multi-layered document of first contact, evidence of the hybridization of two clashing cultures as well as the dominance of one over the other. Curiously, nobody knows who exactly made this map. The leading theory is that it was based on an indigenous chart of the city. Cortés had obtained from the Aztec emperor Montezuma a map of the coastline, so it seems plausible that a native cartographer provided a cartographic outline of the capital, too. The map shows a city labelled Temixtitan built on islands in …

First glimpse of sperm whale birth reveals teamwork to support newborn

First glimpse of sperm whale birth reveals teamwork to support newborn

Published by skeptic

Female sperm whales hold the newborn calf above water until it can swim on its own Project CETI A sperm whale giving birth has been assisted by 10 other females in her social unit – the first time such an event has ever been observed in non-primates. In July 2023, scientists who have been monitoring a group of sperm whales in the Caribbean since 2005 noticed that all 11 females in the group had gathered near the surface. By chance, the researchers had drones in the air and were able to observe and record the event. Shortly afterwards, the flukes of a calf started emerging from its mother. The delivery took place over the next half hour, during which the other females coordinated themselves into a highly synchronised formation to protect the mother and newborn. As soon as the calf was born, the female whales gathered around and took turns making sure that it was kept lifted at the surface so it could breathe and had time for its flukes to fully unfurl. In the …
