Space Emerges From Time? Groundbreaking Theory Upends Einstein

Fascinating potential rewrite of physics:

https://scitechdaily.com/space-emerges-from-time-groundbreaking-theory-upends-einstein/

Time would be analogous to a spiderweb (“timeweb”). We travel along the strands radiating from the center (the Big Bang). The perpendicular supporting strands are junctures where you can leave your strand and move over to a different strand, thus allowing you to travel into a different future. You could potentially return to your original strand via another perpendicular strand, or travel to a different timeline by taking a different perpendicular strand, but every timeline you traveled to would be the same date (although if the Earth of a different timeline was near a high-mass object, like a neutron star or black hole, relativistic effects could decouple the sync!).

Alas, according to Sabine, it’s all bollocks: https://youtu.be/LWzK6nITCK0?si=FP2JH3ImQOiPR7VZ

New Material Supercharges Solar Panel Power & Lifespan

While operating for weeks in the Saudi desert, solar cells with this material adhered to them were 9.4 oC cooler than those without the new material. They also showed an increased power output of more than 12% and an increased lifespan of more than 200% while reducing their cost of generating electricity by nearly 20%.

Google’s AlphaEvolve is absolutely SAVAGE

This is a really good description of how evolutionary principles are being used to create scientific and technological breakthroughs and allow AI to self improve.  

Who would have thought my evolution degree would be more useful in creating the technological singularity than a programming degree? ;-)

Alzheimer’s Risk May Begin Before 30, New Study Warns

“Additionally, we learned that certain Alzheimer’s risk factors—such as cardiovascular health, ATN (amyloid, tau, neurodegeneration), and immune biomarkers—are present and related to cognition in individuals in their forties and even earlier.”

So where do we get these tests?

Anti-Aging Breakthrough: Natural Supplement Rewinds Biological Age and Improves Health

Great, but WHICH compounds, vitamins and antioxidants?

“A study led by researchers from TruDiagnostic explored the potential anti-aging effects of the Cel System, a natural supplement composed of plant compounds, vitamins, and antioxidants. In a year-long trial involving adults aged 54 to 84, participants who took the supplement experienced reduced biological age, improved strength, better body composition, and shifts in DNA methylation patterns linked to stress and brain function.”
