Portsmouth UK (SPX) Oct 16, 2023
A University of Portsmouth physicist has explored whether a new law of physics could support the much-debated theory that we are simply characters in an advanced virtual world. The simulated universe hypothesis proposes that what humans experience is actually an artificial reality, much like a computer simulation, in which they themselves are constructs. The theory is popular among a

Unifying matter, energy and consciousness

With the rise of brain-interface technology and artificial intelligence that can imitate brain functions, understanding the nature of consciousness and how it interacts with reality is not just an age-old philosophical question but also a salient challenge for humanity. Can AI become conscious, and how would we know? Should we incorporate human or animal cells, such as neurons, into machin

Imagine, if you dare, a realm where temperatures dive to an unearthly 55 degrees below Celsius. A place where every breath feels like a thousand icy needles, and the vast expanse of Earth seems an eerie, distant mirage. Few souls dare to venture here, but for one man, it's just another thrilling chapter in his tapestry of adventures... Brad Bartz of Spacedaily.com sat down with the fearles
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 16, 2023
Lunar exploration is expanding at a rapid pace, and a robust lunar economy within the next decade is coming quickly into focus. It's clear that many shareable, scalable commercial systems will be needed to support a future lunar ecosystem. Yet a key question remains: How will these systems interface? Through the Lunar Guidelines for Infrastructure Consortium (LOGIC), DARPA will convene sta

HALO Space, the space tourism company with which GMV collaborates, recently carried out the second round of test flights for its space tourism trips in the dry lake of Cuddeback (California, USA), a habitual area for experimental flights. This phase involves the execution of a series of flights, four in particular, as a proof of concept. These tests are performed by lifting the capsule wit

NASA and its partners have fully secured the four RS-25 engines onto the core stage of the agency's SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for the Artemis II flight test. The core stage, and its engines, is the backbone of the SLS mega rocket that will power the flight test, the first crewed mission to the Moon under Artemis. Engineers have begun final integration testing at NASA's Michoud Assem

Eclipse on Earth, Exploration on Mars

Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 16, 2023
On Saturday, October 14th, an annular eclipse will be visible across much of North, Central, and South America. Although Perseverance won't see this event from Mars, it's no stranger to Martian eclipses. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are both significantly smaller than Earth's Moon. When directly overhead, Phobos appears about one-third the size of our full Moon, while Deimo

Terran Orbital (NYSE: LLAP), a global leader in satellite-based solutions primarily serving the aerospace and defense industries, has announced the official opening of two new advanced Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) lines in Irvine, CA. In addition to its two new state-of-the-art PCBA Surface Mount Technology (SMT) lines, the company also added capabilities for post-SMT processes, f
'Ring of fire' eclipse moves across the Americas, bringing with it cheers and shouts of joy

First came the darkening skies, then the crescent-shaped shadows on the ground, and finally an eruption of cheers by crowds that gathered Saturday along the narrow path of a rare "ring of fire" eclipse of the sun.

It was a spectacular show for millions of people across the Americas as the moon moved into place and the ring formed.

There were hoots, hollers and yelps for those with an unfettered view in Albuquerque, where the celestial event coincided with an international balloon fiesta that typically draws tens of thousands of spectators and hundreds of hot air balloon pilots from around the world.
