This kind of “merger” is so rare that only two stars of this type are known.
This merger takes a pretty exact mass range of two white dwarves, one that causes one star to thrash the other and pull its gas on top.
The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at different speeds across just one millimeter, the smallest distance yet.
The idea that time would be affected by gravity was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915, as part of his theory of general relativity. Space and time are inextricably linked, and large masses warp the fabric of spacetime with their immense gravitational influence. This has the effect of making time pass more slowly closer to a large mass like a planet, star, or, in the most extreme example, a black hole. This phenomenon is known as time dilation.

The discovery may be the strongest evidence yet that people reached the Americas thousands of years earlier than many archaeologists thought.
Between 23,000 and 21,000 years ago, people squished through the mud along a lakeshore in what is now New Mexico, alone and in small groups, leaving behind their footprints. Or at least that’s the conclusion of a new paper that Oregon State University, Corvallis, archaeologist Loren Davis calls “potentially groundbreaking.” If the dates are right, the discovery would be the strongest evidence yet that people reached the Americas during the middle of the last ice age, thousands of years earlier than many archaeologists thought.
“If that’s true … it’s going to be a revolution in the way that we think about archaeology in the Americas,” says Davis, who wasn’t involved with the work. It might reignite debates about how people first reached the continent from Asia. But Davis and others would like corroboration of the surprising dates before they rewrite their understanding of when and how people arrived.

This is a 5-book set on the ultimate nature of reality, consciousness, physics of time, computational physics, philosophy of mind, foundations of quantum physics, technological singularity, transhumanism, impending phase transition of humanity, simulation hypothesis, economic theory, extended Gaia theory, transcendental metaphysics and God, all of which is combined into one elegant Theory of Everything.
If you’re eager to familiarize with probably the most advanced ontological framework to date or if you’re already familiar with the Syntellect Hypothesis which, with this series, is now presented to you as the full-fledged Cybernetic Theory of Mind, then this series will surely present to you some newly-introduced and updated material if compared with the originally published version and can be read as a stand-alone work just like any book of the series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R2K7ZK2?tag=lifeboatfound-20
