A big emphasis of the Journey Lens is to pull you away from your smartphone and allow you to control your day-to-day experience more from the glasses. That’s why this lightweight device has that small see-through display in the upper righthand corner, acting almost like an annotation on what you encounter rather than something in the middle of your field of view that’s trying to control what you see.

Phantom Technology offers a range of different monthly plans based on the experience the user wants with the Journey Lens glasses. These start with a free plan and go up to a premium pro plan at $18 a month, which includes early access to new features and something called Deep Focus.

As shown in the image above, there is a range of how many apps you can connect to the glasses for getting notifications, reading messages and so on—just three with the standard plan, or unlimited apps with the premium and premium pro plans. Three months of the premium plan is included for free with a pre-order of the $195 device, but I believe Phantom Technology would be better served to give everyone three free months of this plan so that new users can understand the value.

The eROSITA survey detected more than 170 million X-ray photons in just 6 months.

Astronomers have created the largest and most detailed X-ray map of the universe, revealing more than 900,000 deep-space objects. This map was produced using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, an ambitious mission that scanned the sky between December 2019 and June 2020, detecting more than 170 million X-ray photons. These findings, including over 700,000 supermassive black holes, galaxy clusters, and other exotic objects, mark a significant leap forward in X-ray astronomy.

The eROSITA Mission The eROSITA X-ray telescope, managed by the Max Planck Society, aimed to capture a complete X-ray survey of the sky. Over six months, the survey gathered an unprecedented amount of data, identifying nearly 900,000 distinct celestial objects. This figure exceeds the number of sources detected by NASA’s Chandra and the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton X-ray telescopes over the past 25 years combined.

What is consciousness, and is it really inherent only to humans? In this video, we explore whether consciousness is not only inherent in humans, but also in animals, artificial intelligence, and even the universe itself. We dive into the complex concepts of panpsychism and quantum consciousness, looking at Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff’s Orch-OR project, which claims that quantum processes in microtubules may underlie consciousness. We will analyze Giulio Tononi’s Integral Information Theory, which proposes to quantify the level of consciousness in any system.

Scientist Finds “Evidence” of Another Universe Before This One.

Studies suggest that before our universe, another, previous cosmos existed. They refer to this process as a kind of perpetual cosmic cycle.

“The next universe will be just like ours — but only in overall appearance, not in detail, of course…”

Artificial intelligence software was used to enhance the grammar, flow, and readability of this article’s text.

Artificial intelligence systems aim to comprehend and convey information in increasingly human ways. Behind the scenes, different models represent that information using either continuous or discrete structures.

Robots controlled by fungi, despite giving strong Last of Us vibes, are a good idea on paper; fungi are very easy to sustain and can live pretty much everywhere, including extreme environments like the Arctic, or even amid nuclear contamination.

A mushroom’s response to environmental changes can be used to control a robot.
