The theory of quantum politics https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/the-theory-of-quantum-politics https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/the-theory-of-quantum-politics#respond Sun, 22 Dec 2024 18:26:36 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/the-theory-of-quantum-politics

As the multi-polar world of global politics becomes ever more complex, who better to cast light on its workings than a physicist turned President? Join Armen Sarkissian, former President of Armenia, as he argues for his new theory of quantum politics, in which individuals are necessarily connected across space and our world is dominated by randomness, uncertainty, and possibility.

Tesla Megapacks to back energy facility in this South American country https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/tesla-megapacks-to-back-energy-facility-in-this-south-american-country https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/tesla-megapacks-to-back-energy-facility-in-this-south-american-country#respond Sun, 22 Dec 2024 18:26:04 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/tesla-megapacks-to-back-energy-facility-in-this-south-american-country

Tesla’s Megapack grid-scale storage systems have been selected for yet another solar energy and storage project, this time set to be installed in Chile.

Chilean energy storage developer Colbún has announced plans to install over 200 Tesla Megapacks as part of the 228 MW/912 MWh Celda Solar project in the northern part of the country, as detailed in a press release shared this week. The site will be constructed in the Camarones, Arica and Parinacota region, and the company estimates the total cost to be around $260 million.

“Energy storage will play an increasing role in the Chilean electricity system, allowing solar energy generated during the day to be accumulated and supplied to the system at night,” writes José Ignacio Escobar, Colbún CEO, as translated into English from Spanish. “Our energy stored in the reservoirs in the south complements perfectly with the energy that we will store in our batteries in the north, thus having a safe, diversified and competitive offer for our clients from Arica to Puerto Montt.”

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider finds the heaviest antimatter particle yet https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/cerns-large-hadron-collider-finds-the-heaviest-antimatter-particle-yet https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/cerns-large-hadron-collider-finds-the-heaviest-antimatter-particle-yet#respond Sun, 22 Dec 2024 18:25:33 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/cerns-large-hadron-collider-finds-the-heaviest-antimatter-particle-yet

Scientists from the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider reported evidence of a new antimatter particle called antihyperhelium-4, essentially the “evil twin” of another weird particle called hyperhelium-4. This incredibly exotic form of matter contains two antiprotons, an antineutron, and an unstable particle called an antilambda comprised of subatomic quarks.

Saturn’s rings could be much older than scientists first thought https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/saturns-rings-could-be-much-older-than-scientists-first-thought https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/saturns-rings-could-be-much-older-than-scientists-first-thought#respond Sun, 22 Dec 2024 18:25:08 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2024/12/saturns-rings-could-be-much-older-than-scientists-first-thought

However, “the idea that Saturn’s rings are young seemed very strange in the context of the solar system’s long evolutionary history,” study lead author Ryuki Hyodo, a planetary scientist at the Institute of Science Tokyo, told Space.com. “A few million years ago is the time of the dinosaurs on Earth. This would mean that the solar system was already well-established and relatively stable.”

In contrast, when Saturn formed about 4.5 billion years ago, or during the era called the Late Heavy Bombardment about 4 billion years ago, “the solar system was far more chaotic,” Hyodo said. “Many large planetary bodies were still migrating and interacting, greatly increasing the chances of a significant event that could have led to the formation of Saturn’s rings.”

To shed light on the age of Saturn’s rings, in the new study, Hyodo and his colleagues developed 3D computer models simulating crashes between micrometeoroids and the rings. These impacts typically occur at speeds of about 67,100 mph (108,000 km/h), they said.
