The Universe Is Conscious — Even Your Chair Is, Experts Say
What if everything around you — your phone, your chair, even the stars — has some form of consciousness? In our new video, we dive into mind-bending theories from scientists and philosophers that challenge how we see reality itself. This isn’t science fiction — it’s a serious debate shaking up physics, philosophy, and neuroscience. Could the entire universe be aware? And what does that mean for us? 🌀 Tap in and prepare to question everything you thought you knew about existence.

Binary star system with millisecond pulsar and a helium star companion discovered
A large team of astronomers and astrophysicists affiliated with several institutions in China has discovered a binary star system, where one of the stars is a millisecond pulsar and the other is made mostly of helium. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes how they discovered that a pulsar under study since 2020 had a companion star—one that was gravitationally bound to it.
Researchers on the team first spotted the pulsar back in May of 2020, and soon thereafter noticed that not only did it spin incredibly fast, but for one-sixth of its orbit, its radiation emissions were blocked. That suggested an object was passing between it and Earth. Over the next four years, the team studied the apparent binary system to learn more about its characteristics and confirm that there truly was a second star.
Pulsars are a type of neutron star that emit beams of radiation from their poles. They appear to pulse as viewed from Earth due to their spinning—the radiation signal can only be seen when one of the poles is pointed directly at the Earth.
Numerical simulations reveal the origin of barred olivine crystals in early solar system
Researchers from Nagoya City University, Tohoku University, and other institutions have used numerical simulations to replicate how a peculiar mineral texture called barred olivine forms inside chondrules—millimeter-sized spherical particles found in meteorites. These chondrules are considered time capsules from the early solar system, and barred olivine is a rare mineral texture not seen in Earth rocks.
The study is published in Science Advances.
Associate Professor Hitoshi Miura of Nagoya City University and the team were the first to reproduce this texture using numerical simulations and theoretically elucidate its formation process.
World’s tallest 3D-printed building reaches a height of 100 feet
Likened by its creators to an “ornate layered cake,” the Tor Alva has been completed in Switzerland. Hailed as the world’s tallest 3D-printed building, this remarkable structure rises to an impressive height of 30 m (98.5 ft).
Tor Alva (aka White Tower) is located in the small alpine village of Mulegns that’s currently home to just 11 people. It was created by researchers at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with cultural foundation Fundaziun Origen, to show off the capabilities of cutting-edge 3D-printing techniques.
Architect Michael Hansmeyer and ETH Professor of Digital Building Technologies Benjamin Dillenburger designed its actual form, which consists of an intricate structure of 32 white concrete columns that rise over four floors and taper before fanning out to top out with a dome. The interior, meanwhile, has a capacity for 32 visitors and includes stairs on each floor, with a performance space at the top.
Are We the First Civilization in the Universe?

Are you really sure that we are alone in the universe? Imagine that somewhere out there, billions of years ago, a highly advanced civilization existed—and we have no idea about it. Or are we perhaps the first? The first to carry technology, culture, and consciousness into space?
