And the New Hoaxes Begin...

If you legislate with scientific words, you should know the science.

Scientists from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a new neuromorphic chip that can learn and correct its own mistakes. This development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) opens the way to the creation of more efficient and autonomous devices that can operate without connecting to cloud servers. The study was published in Nature Electronics. The team’s development, led by professors Shinhyun Choi and Young-Gyu Yoon, is based on the use of a memristor, an element that imitates the work of synapses in the brain. The memristor has variable resistance, which allows it to simultaneously store and process data, significantly increasing the efficiency of the chip. The main problem with current neuromorphic devices is that they have imperfect characteristics that lead to errors. The new chip from KAIST is able to adapt and learn from these errors, improving its accuracy over time. This makes it ideal for use in video surveillance systems, medical devices, and other applications that require instant data processing. The test results showed that the chip achieves accuracy comparable to a perfect computer simulation, processing images in real time. The scientists emphasized that the key to success was the creation of not just a separate component, but an integrated system capable of solving complex problems in conditions of limited resources. Due to their unique properties, memristor platforms allow the creation of compact and energy-efficient devices capable of performing parallel calculations in analog format. This significantly increases the speed and security of operation, reducing dependence on external servers. As the researchers noted, the new technology changes the approach to implementing AI in everyday devices, providing the ability to process tasks directly on the spot, without the need to transmit data over the Internet. This solution promises to make artificial intelligence faster, smarter and more accessible to a wide range of users.

What came first, galaxies or planets? The answer has always been galaxies, but new research is changing that idea, reports universetoday.com. Could habitable planets really have formed before there were galaxies? In the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang, there were no heavy elements. There was only hydrogen, which comprised about 75% of the mass, and helium, which comprised the remaining 25%. (There were probably also trace amounts of lithium, even beryllium.) There was nothing heavier, meaning there was nothing for rocky planets to form from. After a few hundred million years, the first stars and galaxies formed. As successive generations of stars lived and died, they forged heavier elements and spread them out into the Universe. Only after that could rocky planets form, and by extension, habitable planets. That’s been axiomatic in astronomy. However, new research that’s yet to be published suggests that habitable worlds could’ve formed in the early stages of the Cosmic Dawn, prior to galaxies forming. Its title is “Habitable Worlds Formed at Cosmic Dawn,” and it’s available at the pre-press site arxiv.org. The lead author is Daniel Whalen from the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth in the UK. The research hinges on primordial supernovae, the first stars in the Universe to explode. These massive stars lived fast and died young in cataclysmic explosions. They peaked at about redshift 20 when population III stars, which were extremely massive, exploded as pair-instability supernovae. Simulations show that these stars formed in dark matter haloes where the temperature allowed large amounts of molecular hydrogen to gather. According to Whalen and his co-researchers, when these stars exploded, low-mass stars formed in the aftermath. Planetesimals formed around those stars, leading to the formation of potentially habitable, rocky worlds. This all happened before the first galaxies formed. These results are based on simulations the research team performed with Enzo. It starts with a star forming with about 200 solar masses. It lives for only about 2.6 million years before it explodes as a PI supernova. The explosion enriches the supernova bubble to high metallicity. In the aftermath, hydrostatic instabilities cause a dense core to form about 3 million years later, with 35 solar masses. “All known prerequisites for planet formation in this core are fulfilled: dust growth, dust enhancement in a dead zone, the onset of the streaming instability, and conversion of dust to planetesimals,” the authors explain. This figure from the research shows a PI supernova exploding (a) and a dense core forming (b) about 3 million years later containing 35 solar masses. Image Credit: Whalen et al. 2025. Here’s where this study differs from previous ones. Since the PI supernova explodes and creates high-metallicity gas, the gas cools more quickly. That allows the next star to form sooner, and hence, planetesimals and planets. Eventually, a protostar with 0.3 solar masses formed. Then planetesimals formed between 0.46 and 1.66 AU from their star. Life needs water, and the researchers’ simulations also showed that the young solar system contained an amount of water similar to our own Solar System. Planetesimals formed in the circumstellar disk around the low-mass star, and over time, they combined to form planets. Since the original primordial supernovae created elements like carbon, oxygen, and iron, all of the necessary ingredients were likely present to form rocky planets, even life. The remarkable part is that this could’ve happened before the first galaxies formed. If true, it would change our understanding of the Universe and of life. However, this is just one simulation. How could observations support it? “These planets could be detected as extinct worlds around ancient, metal-poor stars in the Galaxy in future exoplanet surveys,” Whelan and his fellow researchers write in their paper. According to the authors, if conditions were just right, rocky planets could have formed even earlier than their simulations show. If that’s true, then it changes the entire course of events in the evolution of the Universe. However, this is only a single study. And it hinges on primordial supernovae. Did they even exist? There’s at least some evidence that they did. Clearly, attempting to observe primordial supernovae is extremely difficult. They occurred so long ago that they’re extraordinarily distant and faint. It’s likely impossible with current technology. Also, there is much uncertainty about the Population III stars that were the progenitors of primordial supernovae. Their exact masses, lifetimes, and explosion mechanisms are uncertain. Astronomers don’t have a clear understanding of the early Universe’s extreme conditions. It’s still evolving, as is our understanding of supernovae. Combined, that’s a lot of uncertainty. Still, all of these challenges don’t mean that primordial supernovae didn’t exist. So astronomers can’t rule them out, nor can they rule out very early habitable planets. As things stand, there’s no way to prove or disprove this research. However, it does open another line of thinking and new possibilities. The post Habitable planets may have appeared before the first galaxies appeared first on Anomalien.com.

January 20, 2025, is liberation day for virtually all of the January 6ers, to whom President Donald J. Trump issued “complete and unconditional” pardons for alleged Jan. 6 crimes. It was one of the major campaign pledges the president made and an opening shot against what he and many others call a weaponized justice system that persecuted his supporters.“So this is January 6. These are the hostages,” Trump said from the Oval Office as he signed the pardon proclamation. “Approximately 1,500, for a pardon.”The Oath Keepers, virtually all of whom were peaceful on Jan. 6, were singled out by Trump for sentence commutations instead of pardons, which Trump signed for more than 1,500 other people caught up in the U.S. Department of Justice prosecution machine.Trump explained that the 14 cases singled out for commutation require further study, but they could also be changed to full pardons. “We are looking at different things, but the commutations would be the ones that we'll take a look, and maybe it’ll stay that way or it’ll go to ... a full pardon.The commutations list includes eight Oath Keepers and one Oath Keepers associate who was tried alongside four Oath Keepers defendants in September 2022: Stewart Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, Kenneth Harrelson, Jessica Watkins, Thomas Caldwell, Roberto Minuta, Edward Vallejo, David Moerschel, and Joseph Hackett.The others on the commutations list include Proud Boys Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, Dominic Pezzola, and Jeremy Bertino.The U.S. Bureau of Prisons began releasing Jan. 6 inmates shortly after Trump’s announcement.American Patriot Relief had volunteers waiting at some 80 prisons to greet inmates as they were released. They reported that the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Forth Worth, Texas, was refusing to release Jalise Middleton, one of the charity’s founders, who was ordered to serve her prison sentence just before Christmas.Although the commutations issue gave some J6ers concern, the release of the men was cause for joy.Rex Ruth, the uncle of Oath Keepers founder Rhodes, leaned over and broke down in tears when his daughter Kyla Rosenau showed him a text saying Rhodes would be released, according to a video she shared with Blaze News.Although Trump did not mention specifics on Jan. 6 pardons during his inaugural address at the Capitol, he broke the news during his inaugural parade and an Oval Office briefing.“We won, but now the work begins,” Trump said at the indoor inaugural parade held at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. “We have to bring them home. And tonight I’m going to be signing on the J6 hostages, pardons to get them out. And as soon as I leave, I'm going to the Oval Office and we'll be signing pardons for a lot of people. A lot of people.”He wasn’t exaggerating.Word began trickling out on X and other social media of the release of Jan. 6 inmates, including former Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio.“Prisons are walking J6 prisoners out everywhere,” Jan. 6 defense attorney Joseph McBride told Blaze News.Trump also ordered the DOJ to seek dismissal with prejudice of all active Jan. 6 cases, including arrests made over the past week.

A male was caught on surveillance video violently robbing an 83-year-old woman of her lottery winnings in Orlando, Florida, on Wednesday morning and running away — but a suspect has been arrested and thrown in jail.You can view surveillance video here of the robbery, which took place outside a store on Curry Ford Road near the intersection of South Goldenrod Road, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.'I don't remember hitting the ground. For me and my age, I wasn't scared. But looking at his face — his face was cold.'The sheriff's office said deputies believe the perp is Diego Stalin Tavarez Fleury, and authorities asked the public for help finding him and provided a mug shot of him.According to WTLV-TV, the incident took place at 8:17 a.m.In the clip, the woman walks to her car from the store but apparently doesn't notice the robber — who's wearing a red jacket and dark baseball cap — approaching her from the far end of the walkway in front of the store.By the time the woman notices the culprit, he's just feet away from her and begins reaching for items in her hands, and the woman pulls her hands away from his grasp.Soon another male emerges from the store — WESH-TV reported that it was the store manager — and he and the robber appear to exchange words. For a couple of moments, it seems as though the robber is about to depart the scene, but he suddenly moves on the woman, after which the store manager intervenes, grabbing the culprit's arms from behind.The elderly woman resists the perp as the store manager continues to struggle with him, but as the woman falls to the parking lot surface, the crook appears to snatch something from her hand.With that, the culprit escapes the grasp of the store manager and runs away, and the store manager then attends to the elderly woman, who's still on ground.ABC News reported that Fleury faces charges of robbery, sudden snatching, and battery on a person 65 or older.WOFL-TV said a new arrest report indicates an anonymous caller tipped off deputies that Fleury was hiding out at a home about a half-mile from the convenience store — and that while he tried to run when deputies arrived, he was arrested a street over. The sheriff's office announced Fleury's arrest less than 24 hours after the incident took place.'I mean, if more people took a step up and tried to help other people, wouldn't it be a better place ... ?'The victim in the physical attack and robbery — Ruth Monroe — was back at the store to get a lottery ticket just a day after the incident, WESH said, adding that deputies said the name of the store is Buddy's Food and Lotto."I'm 83. I've never gotten punched," Monroe — whose left hand was bandaged — told the station from the driver's seat of her car.Monroe added to WOFL-TV, "I don't remember hitting the ground. For me and my age, I wasn't scared. But looking at his face — his face was cold."Ae Sun Lee, who works at the store, told WESH that Monroe is a regular customer."Just for fun," she told the WESH. "Bingo, scratch ticket, lotto."Sun Lee added to WESH that she recognized the male accused of robbing Monroe, calling him a "troublemaker" who isn't a regular customer but instead "just hangs outside."As for her store manager, Sun Lee told WESH that "he always helps people. Not only this person. Always."Another regular customer, Debbie Davis, told WESH that she isn't surprised the store manager stepped in to help and wishes more folks would do the same."I mean, if more people took a step up and tried to help other people, wouldn't it be a better place ... ?" she asked WESH.You can view video reports here and here about the incident and its aftermath; both include interviews with the elderly victim.Like Blaze News?
