I love his hypergraph theory.

Hypergraphs can have any number of dimensions. They can be 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional, 4.81-dimensional or, in the limit, ∞-dimensional.

So how does the three-dimensional space we observe emerge from the hypergraph-based Wolfram model?

Hypersonic jet that can travel between london and new york in one hour set for test flight.

In a groundbreaking development for the aviation industry, Venus Aerospace, a Texas-based company, is preparing to conduct the first test flight of a hypersonic jet that promises to reduce the flight time between London and New York to just one hour. The hypersonic jet, dubbed the Stargazer, is designed to travel at speeds up to Mach 6, which is six times the speed of sound, and represents a major leap forward in air travel technology.

The journey from New York to London typically takes around seven hours on a conventional passenger aircraft. Even Concorde, the legendary supersonic aircraft, managed the route in just under three hours. However, with the introduction of the hypersonic Stargazer, that travel time could be slashed to a mere 60 minutes.
