Scientists “took a picture” of the Big Bang by capturing the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, which is like the afterglow of the Big Bang. They used satellites like the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) and the Planck spacecraft to measure this ancient light. These instruments detected faint microwave signals that have been traveling through space for about 13.8 billion years. By analyzing these signals, scientists created a detailed map of the early universe, showing tiny temperature fluctuations. This “picture” helps us understand the universe’s origins and how it has evolved over time. #brightside Credit: Galaxy Cluster Abell: NASA Hubble — https://flic.kr/p/2e8LH2d, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/.…, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi… Cosmic Microwave: ESA and the Planck Collaboration, CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/.…, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi… NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Animation is created by Bright Side.

After finding a mistake in the generalised quantum Stein’s lemma, researchers including CQT’s Marco Tomamichel are working through the consequences.

The discovery of a flaw in the proof of a 15-year-old lemma has rocked the community of researchers who study quantum information. Results that built on the finding are also broken.

According to the philosopher and cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett, a conscious state is a brain state that is spread out in both space and time. It is spread out in the brain across multiple instances of what Dennett calls “content fixations.” These content fixations are the “multiple drafts” in the theory’s name. Each of these drafts compete for domination in the cognitive system. This domination is what Dennett calls “fame in the brain.” Read more about it here: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/M
