What if we are living in a simulation, and the world as we know it is not real? To tackle this mind-bending idea, acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Ascher (ROOM 237 THE NIGHTMARE) uses a noted speech from Philip K. Dick to dive down the rabbit hole of science, philosophy, and conspiracy theory. Leaving no stone unturned in exploring the unprovable, the film uses contemporary cultural touchstones like THE MATRIX, interviews with real people shrouded in digital avatars, and a wide array of voices, expert and amateur alike. If simulation theory is not science fiction but fact, and life is a video game being played by some unknowable entity, then who are we, really? A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX attempts to find out.

Now available everywhere.
Directed by Rodney Ascher.

In a lot of ways, death has become very transactional. When someone dies, we buy an urn or coffin, schedule a funeral, and then it’s over. But grief lasts far beyond a one-time memorial service.

That’s why a company called Eterneva has set out to change the way we grieve loss — by turning ashes into diamonds, literally. With its unique cremation diamonds, Eterneva is creating a new way to carry the memory of our loved ones with us long after their death.

Scientists Discover Dinosaur Fossil That Seems Suspiciously Like a Dragon

There’s a lot that scientists still don’t understand about pterosaurs, CNET reports, especially because so few fossils have been found. But uncovering this new fossil helps explain how the admittedly terrifying creature lived, hunted, and flourished millions of years ago.

The fossil — a massive jawbone — suggests that the Thapunngaka shawi was a ferocious hunter. The 3.2 foot-long jaw likely held as many as 40 huge, sharp teeth. The creature had a wingspan of 22 feet and a neck longer than a giraffe’s that it used to balance its humongous head, according to CNET.

“This thing would have been quite savage,” study coauthor and University of Queensland School of Biological Sciences PhD student Tim Richards told the site. “It would have cast a great shadow over some quivering little dinosaur that wouldn’t have heard it until it was too late.”

China Is Preparing For Life After Fossil Fuels

While other energy superpowers such as the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Russia have clung to their prodigious oil and gas industries to varying degrees, China has gone all-in on establishing their own energy security and independence, a large portion of which will soon be sourced from clean energy resources.


As the global energy transition accelerates, China appears to be miles ahead of the competition when it comes to securing itself for a future without fossil fuels.
