The book The Illusion of Knowledge, by Harold Katcher, was launched on September 4th 2021 at Book Passage Ferry Building, San Francisco/CA. The book was published by NTZ, a publisher specialized on the rejuvenation field.
Above the atmosphere is space. It’s called that because it has far fewer molecules, with lots of empty space between them.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel to outer space — and then keep going? What would you find? Scientists like me are able to explain a lot of what you’d see. But there are some things we don’t know yet, like whether space just goes on forever.
Planets, stars, and galaxies.
Crypto currency, fast grants, publishing sucess and failures, intellectual property, all good.
Around $26 million in grant funding has just been made available for scientific research that can improve our understanding and control of human aging thanks to the donations of supporters such as Vitalik Buterin. Will this launch solve aging? The grants, known as Impetus Grants, are specifically designed to have immediate impact. Scientists can request up to $500,000, and decisions will be made within three weeks.

Researchers have created what they say is the largest computer simulation of the universe, and have made the data available for anyone to download for free.
An international team associated with the Center for Computational Astrophysics created the virtual universe using ATERUI II, the world’s most powerful astronomical supercomputer, according to a press release by the organization. Dubbed Uchuu (the Japanese word for “outer space”), the simulation contains a staggering 2.1 trillion particles spanning 9.6 billion virtual light-years. That’s big. Real big.
Space needs a burdensome and expensive deep clean, and Woz’s Privateer apparently wants to take care of the mess.

To what extent do photosynthetic organisms use quantum mechanics to optimize the capture and distribution of light? Answers are emerging from the examination of energy transfer at the submolecular scale.
The first law of photosynthetic economics is: “A photon saved is a photon earned.” Research into the factors behind this principle has been burgeoning, and has recently culminated in a paper in Physical Review Letters by Jang et al.1 in which the authors look at photosynthetic energy transfer at the quantum level.
The site in Sichuan province will help the country deal with growing quantities of radioactive material as it steps up its use of nuclear power.
Japanese astronaut Aki Hoshide of JAXA and French astronaut Thomas Pesquet of ESA installed the mount for a solar array outside of the International Space Station during the first spacewalk to not include an American or Russian crew member.
