In a groundbreaking discovery, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has presented data that directly challenges our current understanding of the universe. For years, cosmologists have pegged the universe’s age at approximately 13.8 billion years. Yet, the new JWST findings suggest that this may be a vast underestimation. But how has one telescope managed to disrupt such a long-held belief?
The universe’s secrets are vast, but none has been as puzzling as the presence of ‘impossible early galaxies’—so named due to their peculiar formation periods.
According to existing models, these galaxies, emerging during the cosmic dawn, roughly 500 to 800 million years post-big bang, shouldn’t have evolved disks and bulges so quickly. “It’s akin to seeing a toddler with the wisdom of an octogenarian,” says a scientist, explaining the paradox.
Navigating the frontiers of longevity: therapeutic plasma exchange and its implications.
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has emerged as a contentious longevity treatment, touted for its potential to rejuvenate the body.
In another effort to live longer, wealthy Silicon Valley-ites are ditching young blood for plasma exchange.

Company Awarded AFRL Contract to Investigate the Delivery of Five-to-Ten-Ton Capacity Containers Anywhere in the World in 90 Minutes
LOUISVILLE, Colo. – October 3, 2024 – Sierra Space, a leading commercial space company and defense-tech prime that is Building a Platform in Space to Benefit Life on Earth® and protect economic freedom in the Orbital Age®, announced today that it has been awarded a competitive, firm-fixed-price contract for the Rocket Experimentation for Global Agile Logistics (REGAL) program by Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). This new contract aims to revolutionize logistics and materiel returns from space, placing Sierra Space at the forefront of defense and space logistics innovation.
Earlier this year, the company unveiled its Sierra Space Ghost decelerator – a revolutionary logistics spacecraft designed for rapid payload return from Earth orbit – and shared the results of successful beta flight testing. The REGAL contract will support efforts to conceptually design and scale this new breakthrough technology, with the goal of landing critical supplies anywhere on the planet within 90 minutes.
China’s state-backed JFS Laboratory has unveiled the country’s first silicon photonics chip, a significant advancement that could revolutionize AI and high-performance computing. This novel technology uses lasers instead of traditional copper wires, offering increased bandwidth, reduced latency, and improved energy efficiency.
