What Death Is Teaching Me About Consciousness and Continuity

Death is not just a full stop, but a change in form.
Consciousness extends beyond the physical body, shaping the world in different ways.
Science suggests that consciousness, as structured information, cannot be destroyed, only transformed.
Instead of trying to bring the dead back, focus on recognizing their continued existence in the form of lessons, memories, and influence.

Euclid mission spots 26 million galaxies in first batch of survey data

The European Space Agency (ESA) has released the first batch of survey data from its €1.4bn Euclid mission.
In just one week of observations, Euclid spotted 26 million galaxies, as well as transient phenomena such as supernovae and gamma-ray bursts.
The dataset also includes a catalogue of 380,000 galaxies detected by artificial intelligence or citizen-science efforts.
Euclid is expected to image over 1.5 billion galaxies over its lifetime and will release its first 'cosmology data' in October 2026.

CO2 laser enables long-range detection of radioactive material

Researchers have demonstrated the ability to remotely detect radioactive material from a distance of 10 meters using CO2 lasers, which is over ten times farther than previous methods.
Conventional radiation detectors have limited operational range as they detect particles emitted by the radioactive material only in its direct vicinity.
The new method leverages ionization in the surrounding air to enable long-range detection of radioactive materials.
This advancement in remote sensing technology may have potential applications in nuclear disaster response and nuclear security.

Mass and Charge as Execution Processes

Mass and charge are derived dynamically from structured execution processes governing spacetime.
Mass is not an independent property but emerges from spacetime execution adjustments.
Gravity is not a force but a balancing mechanism correcting execution.
Charge is an execution process maintaining structured energy flow and emerges from execution conservation laws.

Free Will, I don’t think so

Most thoughts and desires are products of unconscious processes and conditioning rather than deliberate choice.
Our likes, dislikes, and desires are conditioned responses based on past experiences and neural patterns.
Biases, preferences, and decisions often emerge from unconscious factors rather than conscious deliberation.
True free will lies in the capacity of consciousness to observe spontaneous thoughts without compulsion or identification.

SpiderBot experiments hint at “echolocation” to locate prey

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University's Terradynamics Laboratory are using spider robots to study the behaviors of real spiders in locating prey.
Spiders exhibit crouching behavior to sense differences in web frequencies and locate prey that is not moving.
The research offers evidence for the hypothesis that spiders use a form of echolocation to find immobile prey.
The experiments with robot models provide reproducible results and offer insights into the biological system of spiders.

Derecho-Induced Skyscraper Damage

Derechos, short-lived, intense wind storms, have been found to cause more damage to skyscrapers in Houston compared to hurricanes with similar wind speeds.
Researchers have discovered that broken windows in skyscrapers were concentrated in areas facing other tall buildings during a derecho.
Wind tunnel experiments revealed that downbursts, strong downward wind bursts, between nearby buildings caused extremely strong suction forces along a skyscraper's face, even stronger than those experienced in higher hurricane-force winds.
As a result, designers may need to consider the effects of downburst wind patterns on skyscrapers in regions prone to derechos.

‘Milestone’ as Square Kilometre Array Observatory releases its first low-frequency image of the cosmos

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Observatory has released the first images from its partially built low-frequency telescope in Australia, known as SKA-Low.
The image contains 85 of the brightest known galaxies in that region, observed at 150MHz to 175 MHz, with each galaxy having a black hole at its center.
The SKA-Low telescope will have 131,072 two-metre-high antennas that will act as a single instrument, enabling observations of over 600,000 galaxies.
The SKA-Low and SKA-Mid telescopes, with a combined cost of £1bn, are expected to begin making science observations in 2028 and will help answer cosmology's most enigmatic questions.

Manu jumping: the physics of making a bigger splash

Manu jumping is a competitive sport that involves creating the highest splash when jumping into the water.
According to a study, the best manu jumpers enter the water back first, creating a V-shape with their legs and upper body.
A 45° angle between the legs and torso results in the highest splashes, as it creates a deep and wide air cavity that quickly closes.
The study also found that rolling and kicking in the water, along with an optimal opening time of 0.26 s, contributes to making the highest splashes.
