The NFL franchise quarterback — the highly coveted symbol of hope, cornerstone of championship aspirations, difference between irrelevance and immortality — is also the rarest of breeds.
Don’t call it tanking, but desperate organizations abandon win-at-all-cost principles with the goal of landing an elite passing prospect with one of the top picks in the NFL Draft. Other quarterback-needy teams routinely mortgage future resources to improve draft positioning. But despite NFL decision-makers’ robust resumes as talent evaluators and extensive research —
The orbits of a trio of stars can be so chaotic that it’s impossible to precisely calculate the stars’ future trajectories. That’s the real science behind the name of the hit Netflix show, 3 Body Problem. Much of the sci-fi show’s action hinges on a variety of other physics concepts. But in service of the plot, some of that science is taken to implausible — or even physically impossible — lengths.

If you’re like me, perhaps you’ve visited a contemporary art installation, seen a painting of a single plain square or a giant sculpture of a fork, and wondered, how on Earth is this art?

Elon Musk’s Neuralink has been accused of allowing and enabling animal cruelty in its labs for years, but the company is not the first to sacrifice heaps of animals on the altar of brain-computer interface science.
In fact, the US government may have a worse body count over many decades, even though Neuralink has reportedly killed more than 1,500 animals along the way, including monkeys, pigs, and sheep while developing its brain chip.
In some of the worst cases,
From The Terminator to The Day After Tomorrow, movies have envisioned just about every possibility for how the world might end.
If you’re a science fiction movie buff, you might think that some of these apocalyptic scenarios seem a little far-fetched.
But hold onto your popcorn, as experts say that some of these disastrous plotlines could actually become a reality.
While we don’t need to worry about an asteroid wiping us out like in Armageddon, experts warn that a bioweapon
Zum ersten Mal seit mehr als 50 Jahren sind neue wissenschaftliche und technologische Instrumente der NASA auf dem Mond im Einsatz, nachdem die CLPS-Initiative (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) der Agentur erstmals erfolgreich durchgeführt wurde. Von einem Leitsystem, das letztendlich eine Schlüsselrolle bei der erfolgreichen Landung spielte, bis hin zu einem Instrument zur Beobachtung der Mondoberflächenumgebung im Radiofrequenzbereich – die sechs NASA-Nutzlasten werden dazu beitragen, künftige Mondmissionen zu unterstützen.
