Evidence of Merlin’s grave unearthed in Scotland: Was King Arthur’s wizard adviser real?
There may be some truth to the myth of Merlin.
On Tuesday, archeologists in Scotland revealed evidence of the legendary wizard’s death in Drumelzier between the 6th and 7th centuries — and the findings could change the way we tell Merlin’s tale.
Merlin was said to have been a loyal advisor to King Arthur amid the Dark Ages before being imprisoned, killed and buried along the river Tweed, according to Vita Merlini Sylvestris (the Life of Merlin of the Forest), a medieval manuscript of his life which is currently held at the British Library.

A theory suggests that the past, present, and future exist all at once
Surprisingly, your past, present, and future could be happening right now, all at the same time.
The block universe theory suggests that time doesn’t flow and all moments—past, present, and future—exist simultaneously in a four-dimensional space. This challenges our conventional experience of time as a linear progression. According to Dr. Kristie Miller, traveling to the past or future might be possible, but changing events isn’t; you’d only fulfill what’s already set. Critics argue that the future can’t be predetermined, with models like the evolving block universe proposing a growing spacetime block. While the debate continues, this theory reshapes our understanding of time and existence. Don’t forget to share your thoughts and join the discussion below!
We seem to experience time as moving in a single direction. After all, we can’t just leap forward to the future or revisit our past whenever we wish. Every minute of every day seems to push us forward, dragging us through life towards an inevitable end. At least, that’s the traditional perception of time. But what if your present, past, and future all exist simultaneously? From this perspective, time wouldn’t flow at all.
Strong magnetic second harmonic generation effect discovered in two-dimensional CrPS₄ monolayer
A research team led by Professor Sheng Zhigao at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has, for the first time, observed the strong nonlinear magnetic second harmonic generation (MSHG) induced by the ferromagnetic order in monolayer CrPS4, with the help of the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility.
