Physicist Ronald Mallett believes that a spinning laser loop can bend time, leading to time travel. He even has a prototype to test the idea.
Ronald Mallett is on a mission to develop a real-life working time machine.
But it will be hard because, according to what we know about physics now, time travel is impossible, even though it is often shown in science fiction.
That’s if no ‘significant actions’ are taken.
According to a recent report, if no significant actions are taken, half the world’s population will be obese or overweight by 2035. Globally, 38 percent of the Earth’s population— almost 2.6 billion people —are overweight or obese. If situations do not alter in the future, the rate is expected to rise to 51 percent in just twelve years’ time, as per new reports published by World Obesity Federation.
Furthermore, the obesity rate is particularly rising among children and countries with low-income rates.

Beijing is also in a position to maintain a monopoly in some of these areas, the report warned.
WHETHER you’re an Android fan or an iPhone lover, you should be wary of a common text message scam.
It’s called “smishing” and has been flagged by the experts at Security Intelligence as a growing problem.
Smishing is essentially the same as phishing, the common email scam technique that tries to get you to give away personal data.
Both discoveries may play roles in first how plate tectonics got started, and the dynamics that continue to make it happen.
The new AI chat bot is available to ‘trusted testers’ for now and will be released to the public in the ‘coming weeks.’
Inspired by the Renaissance vision of Leonardo da Vinci, NASA
Established in 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the United States Federal Government that succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). It is responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. Its vision is “To discover and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity.” Its core values are “safety, integrity, teamwork, excellence, and inclusion.” NASA conducts research, develops technology and launches missions to explore and study Earth, the solar system, and the universe beyond. It also works to advance the state of knowledge in a wide range of scientific fields, including Earth and space science, planetary science, astrophysics, and heliophysics, and it collaborates with private companies and international partners to achieve its goals.
Researchers at MIT have developed an X-Ray vision headset similar to Superman’s powers. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed an X-ray vision headset. The device combines computer vision and wireless perception that automatically locates items located under a stack of papers or inside a box.
Your toilet paper might give you cancer, according to scientists. Experts from the University of Florida warn that your toilet paper could contain toxic “forever chemicals,” also known as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs), which have previously been linked to certain cancers and even low sperm count.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical tube-like structures made of carbon atoms that display highly desirable physical properties like high strength, low weight, and excellent thermal and electrical conductivities. This makes them ideal materials for various applications, including reinforcement materials, energy storage and conversion devices, and electronics.
Despite such immense potential, however, there have been challenges in commercializing CNTs, such as their incorporation on plastic substrates for fabricating flexible CNT-based devices. Traditional fabrication methods require carefully controlled environments such as high temperatures and a clean room. Further, they require repeat transfers to produce CNTs with different resistance values.
More direct methods such as laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) and thermal fusion (TF) have been developed as alternatives. In the LIFT method, a laser is used to directly transfer CNTs onto substrates, while in TF, CNTs are mixed with polymers that are then selectively removed by a laser to form CNT wires with varying resistance values.
