Is Metaverse a boom or a bubble?
There is hardly a day that goes by without a mention of the metaverse. Since Facebook’s brand name changed to Meta, the word has really caught on and everybody wants to be a part of it.
Mark Zuckerberg may have drawn the world’s attention to the metaverse but the digital world has been on the rise for quite some time. Minecraft, an online game, has been around since 2011, where not only does one get to stay in a digital world but also has the tools to build it around themselves. With their versions of the metaverse, what Meta and the others now want to do, is build up these worlds rapidly, so that people can just come and spend their time in there. ## Time is Money.

Sublime New Hubble Image Reveals a Thrilling Exchange Between Two Galaxies
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: materials, space

Astronomers spot tantalizing large molecule near star with ‘comet factory’

Astronomers spotted the largest molecule yet found in a planet-forming disk, which they say will tell us more about the origin of life.
The molecule, dimethyl, is a precursor to organic molecules like methane that in some cases may be indicative of life. The team also may have found methyl formate, which is deemed a “building block” to constructing even larger organic molecules.
