by Frank Bergman, Slay News: Doctors in Canada have made a bone-chilling call for the government to expand the nation’s radical “assisted suicide” laws to give physicians new powers to begin euthanizing newborn babies. The alarming demand for extending so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) to newborn children was made by a provincial medical authority […]

It could easily have been called ‘Iron Bloke’

An Early Bronze Age estate with a richly furnished chieftain burial in the town of Écouché-les-Vallées in northwestern France’s Normandy region. It dates to around 1900-1800 B.C. and contains valuable grave goods including arrowheads, daggers and a fragment of a rock crystal pendant. Archaeologists are excavating the site in advance of quarry expansion and have so far unearthed evidence of a Neolithic settlement as well as a grave from the Bronze Age Armorican Tumulus culture. The culture is known for the elaborate burials of their elites covered by a mound of earth (hence the name), but their graves had varied designs. Pit graves like this one are common. While the tumuli contained the remains of a single chieftain at the top of social hierarchy, less prominent graves are also deemed chiefly tombs based on the prestigious grave goods they contained. Daggers, axes and arrowheads were symbols of wealth and power, not just weapons. The pit grave at Écouché-les-Vallées was originally covered by a tumulus, now lost. Most of tumuli have been found in Brittany, with only six known so far in Normandy. No skeletal remains were found in the tomb. The highly acidic soil in the area devoured the bone. It contained 31 flint arrowheads of exceptionally refined craftsmanship. They are of the Armorican type: ie, finely cut to an extremely thin edge out of blond flint. The two bronze daggers found in the grave are also of the Armorican type, characterized by their riveted fastening and mesh decoration along the edges. The larger of the two is a foot long and was sheathed in leather, fragments of which remain on the blade. The other is eight inches long and was in a wicker sheath. The discovery of the Écouché-les-Vallées tomb echoes another discovery in the neighboring commune of Loucé and fits into a broader context, as several exceptional Early Bronze Age sites have been identified in the area: a cult enclosure in Loucé, a few hundred meters away, and a large enclosure in Moulins-sur-Orne, six kilometers away. This presence of several Early Bronze Age sites on both sides of the Orne River contributes to making the area a vast domain, of which the Écouché-les-Vallées burial would represent the ruling elite.

On 14 January, 2025, two colliding black holes sent the clearest gravitational wave signal ever recorded rippling across the universe to Earth’s detectors. This remarkably crisp signal, designated GW250114, has allowed physicists to conduct the most stringent test yet of Einstein’s general relativity by measuring multiple “tones” from the collision. The wave passed the test with flying colours, but researchers remain optimistic that future detections might finally reveal where Einstein’s century old theory breaks down, potentially offering the first glimpses of quantum gravity.
