All observables in nature measurable with a single unit of time
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 18, 2024
Brazilian researchers have introduced a thought-provoking perspective on a long-standing debate among physicists: how many fundamental constants are required to describe the universe? Their conclusion - just one, the "second" - could simplify how we understand physical measurements.
The study, published in Scientific Reports, was conducted by George Matsas and Vicente Pleitez from Sao Paul

Japanese startup's space rocket launch fails
Tokyo (AFP) Dec 18, 2024
A space rocket built by a Japanese startup blasted off on Wednesday but was later seen spiralling downwards in the distance as the company said the launch attempt had failed.
It was the second attempt by Space One to become the country's first private firm to put a satellite into orbit, after the first try in March ended in a mid-air explosion.
