The multiverse offers no escape from our reality—which might be a very good thing.

By George Musser

As memes go, it wasn’t particularly viral. But for a couple of hours on the morning of November 6, the term “darkest timeline” trended in Google searches, and several physicists posted musings on social media about whether we were actually in it. All the probabilities expressed in opinion polls and prediction markets had collapsed into a single definite outcome, and history went from “what might be” to “that just happened.” The two sides in this hyperpolarized U.S. presidential election had agreed on practically nothing—save for their shared belief that its outcome would be a fateful choice between two diverging trajectories for our world.

Did you know that we’ve already seen signs of sentient AI? That’s right, for the first time in history, we are watching as Artificial Intelligence becomes self-aware. It’s only a matter of time until AI develops emotions and thoughts of their own, just like us humans. You’d better start saying please and thank you to ChatGPT because you do not want to get on their bad side. How would the AI Takeover start? Are we already in danger? Is this the end of humanity as we know it?

WASHINGTON — Northrop Grumman’s SpaceLogistics subsidiary is eyeing a 2026 launch for its next-generation satellite servicing vehicle, the Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV). Equipped with robotic arms developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the MRV aims to extend the lifespan of satellites in geostationary orbit more than 22,500 miles above Earth.

NRL announced Nov. 14 that the pair of robotic arms completed crucial thermal vacuum testing and are now at Northrop’s satellite integration facility in Dulles, Virginia. The arms were developed under a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) contract.

“This robotic payload promises to transform satellite operations in geostationary orbit, reduce costs for satellite operators, and enable capabilities well beyond what we have today,” said NRL’s director of research Bruce Danly.

Scientists have shown that in a direct cellular reprogramming scenario, neurons are produced almost exclusively by a rare subtype of multipotent cells. Their findings, they claim, change our understanding of reprogramming, but not everyone agrees [1].

Direct action

In the world of cellular reprogramming, the two most well-known realms are pluripotent reprogramming, in which somatic cells are thrown back all the way into pluripotency, and partial reprogramming, in which these cells are rejuvenated without making them lose their cellular identity.
