Independent thinking for complex markets and current events
The Trump administration drew an unproven link between autism and pregnant women’s use of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in one of the world’s most common over-the-counter pain relievers, Kenvue’s Tylenol. Officials warned pregnant women against using acetaminophen early on unless they have a fever, and touted a lesser-known drug, leucovorin, as a potential treatment for …
Scientists have, for the first time, linked a common virus to aggressive skin cancer. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin cancer, affecting more than a million people each year. It’s usually caused by DNA damage from UV light. But in a… pic.twitter.com/GZiy7EVqoj — Massimo (@Rainmaker1973) September 9, 2025 Fundamentally, cancers …
Manhattan-sized interstellar object is covered in a layer of CO2, shocking scientists, NASA images reveal https://t.co/9avBqSDibP pic.twitter.com/gssfk6DoIX — New York Post (@nypost) August 27, 2025 The Manhattan-sized interstellar object rocketing through Earth’s inner solar system is covered by a cloud of carbon dioxide, a characteristic that shocked experts, according to an analysis of brand new …
by Michael Just because something is possible doesn’t mean that our scientists should actually be doing it. We live at a time when technology is advancing at an exponential rate, but there are very few guardrails. As a result, researchers are pretty much doing whatever they feel like doing. In secret laboratories all over the …
In 2012, Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek asked whether the symmetry that arranges atoms in an ordinary crystal might also break in time, producing a structure that beats forever at its own pace. More than a decade later, researchers at Tsinghua University, working with theorists from Vienna University of Technology, have watched rubidium vapor settle into just …
In July 2025, Cortical Labs released something no lab had done before. The CL1 is not a prototype or proof of concept. It is a working biocomputer built from live human neurons. The brain cells are real. Grown from stem cells. Wired to silicon. Kept alive inside a sealed system that regulates heat, oxygen, and …
by Michael Will the elite soon be able to order “designer babies” that are free from all genetic abnormalities and all genetic diseases because they have been created in a lab using “synthetic human DNA”? I realize that this may sound absolutely crazy to many of you, but we are dangerously close to such a …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHz4X4TGnwI In this video, we reveal a shocking geological transformation unfolding beneath Central Florida—a massive fault line, once thought impossible, is now confirmed to be shifting. From unexplained tremors and heat anomalies to straight-line sinkholes and magnetic disturbances, the evidence points to a tectonic system awakening beneath millions of unsuspecting residents. These 10 jaw-dropping discoveries …
Scientists have uncovered a remarkable piece of history beneath the ocean floor near Indonesia. Fossilized remains of Homo erectus, an ancient human ancestor, have been found buried under layers of silt and sand in the Madura Strait. Alongside these human remains, researchers have identified 6,000 animal fossils from 36 different species, including buffalos, deer, elephants, …
Dutch researchers now estimate the universe will end in 1 followed by 78 zeros, replacing the previous projection of 1 followed by 1100 zeros years. The revised timeline comes from new modeling of Hawking radiation and the eventual evaporation of white dwarf stars. Lead author Heino Falcke called it: “much sooner than expected.” Meanwhile, with …
Abstract It is challenging to emulate biological forms and functions with artificial machines: Fluidity and adaptability seen in cellular organisms, characterized by their ability to deform, split, merge, and engulf, are hard to recapitulate with traditional rigid robotic structures. A promising avenue to tackle this problem is harnessing the supreme deformability of liquids while …
SCIENTISTS BREAK GRAVITY TO EXPOSE DARK ENERGY A team in China just built a floating sensor that’s so precise it can sniff out dark energy better than anything before. They basically leveled up cosmic science by six orders of magnitude, because regular old physics wasn’t… pic.twitter.com/JbPDhCbMb3 — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) April 28, 2025 China’s National …
Chinese researchers have unearthed a powerful vulnerability buried deep inside one of the deadliest forms of cancer. At the heart of liver cancer’s survival lies a fuel-sharing system powered by lactate, a metabolic byproduct once dismissed as cellular waste. It turns out these tumors are anything but wasteful. They thrive on lactate, pumping it across …
According to Interesting Engineering, the U.S. Department of Energy awarded a grant of $2.3 million to a team of scientists at the University of Kentucky so they can work to develop materials strong enough to survive the inside of a fusion reactor. Considering the inside of a fusion reactor can reach temperatures of 180 million …
US Researchers have proposed that in particular “strange metals,” electrons appear to lose their individual identities, merging into a featureless “quantum soup.” … Utilizing ‘shot noise’ measurement technique To investigate this anomaly, scientists employed a technique known as shot noise measurement. Shot noise measures the random fluctuations in an electrical current. This reveals the discrete …
Mount Spurr (75 mi from Anchorage) primed to blow—magma flowing, gas spiking, seismic rumbles. Eruption could hit in weeks, unleashing 200+ mph lava flows, toxic ash clouds. 300K lives at risk, no sure warning. Is Anchorage ready for this? A giant volcano in Alaska is showing signs of an impending eruption. Significantly elevated levels of …
A new shape-shifting robot from the University of California, Santa Barbara, can switch between solid and liquid states on command. Inspired by embryonic cells, this breakthrough in programmable micro-materials is straight out of sci-fi. If you grew up with Terminator 2, you know exactly where this is going. A machine that flows through cracks, reforms …
by Michael Shocking new research indicates that the level of activity on the Sun has a direct impact on the level of seismic activity here on Earth. That is really bad news for us, because the giant ball of fire that our planet revolves around has become very erratic in recent years. According to NASA, approximately …
A complex problem that took microbiologists a decade to get to the bottom of has been solved in just two days by a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool. Professor José R Penadés and his team at Imperial College London had spent years working out and proving why some superbugs are immune to antibiotics. He gave …

Sprinkling diamond dust into the atmosphere could offset almost all the warming caused by humans since the industrial revolution and “buy us some time” with climate change, scientists say. New research indicates that shooting 5.5 million tons (5 million metric tons) of diamond dust into the stratosphere every year could cool the planet by 1.8 …
Scientists have found California ground squirrels are evolving in a ‘shocking’ way – the animals have developed a taste for flesh. While these squirrels are known to eat a lizard on occasion, a new video captured dozens of them hunting, attacking and feasting on rodents for the first time. The bizarre behavior was observed between …
by Chris Black Why do these petrochemical companies, and the retailers that distribute their products, have a right to put these chemicals into your body? If we didn’t live in a democracy, we could sue these people. They produce these chemicals knowing that they will go into your body, and knowing that they will harm …
by Chris Black Even if you’re stupid enough to actually buy into the climate hoax, literally everything being systematically poisoned should still be a much, much higher priority than the temperature going up by a couple of degrees. Japan Today: Researchers in Japan have confirmed microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting …
