Trump replied, “I’ll tell you, it’s a funny thing because I think that might be a question that I get more than any question. It is the craziest thing. So we have that so-called area, they consider it like a sacred area, and I will say this, I don’t think I’m a believer, but I have interviewed pilots that look – I like Tom Cruise – but better than Tom Cruise.”

He continued, “They were in the Oval Office, three or four pilots, these are not people that makeup stories, they said, ‘All I know, sir, is there was a round object that was going four times faster than my F-22,’ which is a very fast plane.”

Trump concluded, “Four or five guys I’ve interviewed, solid people, great pilots for the U.S. Air Force, etcetera, they’ve seen things that they cannot explain.”

A £2m national art project aims to inspire people to connect with landscapes to improve their wellbeing.

Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England, Wales and Northern Ireland were renamed "National Landscapes" last year.

The team behind National Landscapes has now launched Nature Calling - a programme which will see people co-create artworks inspired by 34 National Landscapes, including the Mendip Hills and Weston-super-Mare.

Some researchers dream of solving all mysteries with a common method—but a mathematical paradox may keep such solutions out of reach

What did you dream of doing when you were 16 years old? I wanted to drive a car and travel the world. But American mathematician Ray Solomonoff had more ambitious goals at that age. He wanted to find a method to solve every conceivable scientific problem.

This was not just wishful thinking—the teenager had a groundbreaking idea that would establish a completely new field of research. Over the next few years, Solomonoff developed a concept that made it possible to systematically search data for patterns—and thus reveal the hidden processes that underlie our world.

Solomonoff was looking for a rule that would select the simplest of all possible descriptions. Such a rule could be translated into a computer program. Any data could be passed to this program, and after a certain amount of time, the simplest explanation for the origin of these values could be obtained. It would be a veritable miracle machine.

How to Define “Simple”

First things first: Solomonoff’s simplest-description finder does not exist—and it never will. Nevertheless, with his ideas, the then 16-year-old stood at the precipice of a completely new field of research that deals with the true nature of chance and complexity. And as is so often the case in the natural sciences, two other people had quite similar ideas at about the same time.

MANILA - The United States has no immediate plans to withdraw a mid-range missile system deployed in the Philippines, despite Chinese demands, and is testing the feasibility of its use in a regional conflict, sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

The Typhon system, which can be equipped with cruise missiles capable of striking Chinese targets, was brought in for joint exercises earlier this year, both countries said at the time, but has remained there.

Cyborg success: A fungus controls a robot, making it avoid the light

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

Most living organisms easily surpass machines when it comes to navigating real-world environments and adaptability to changing conditions. One way to bridge that gap is building biohybrid robots that merge synthetic machinery with biological components like animal muscles, bacteria, or plants.

But living muscles are very hard to keep alive in a machine, bacteria have a very short lifespan, and plants tend to react to things a bit slowly, like Ents in The Lord of the Rings. So, a team of scientists at Cornell University went down a different path and built biohybrid robots controlled by fungi, specifically, oyster mushrooms.

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. They're also cheap to culture in large quantities and excel at reacting to environmental cues like exposure to light.

The key challenge, though, was interfacing them with robots, because how can you connect a robot to a mushroom?

The trick to interfacing the mycelium with an electrical system was to culture it in a 3D-printed scaffold until it basically grew into the electrodes after 14 to 33 days. But making a stable connection was one thing; reading its signals was quite another.

Peter Jackson presenta un viaggio rivoluzionario nella Terra di Mezzo, attraverso gli occhi del leggendario regista Kenji Kamiyama. Il Signore degli Anelli - La guerra dei Rohirrim, dal 1° gennaio solo al cinema.

Il lungometraggio d’animazione originale di New Line Cinema "Il Signore degli Anelli: La Guerra dei Rohirrim" riporta il pubblico alla scoperta dell’epico mondo portato in vita nella trilogia de "Il Signore degli Anelli", basata sui celebri libri di J.R.R. Tolkien – il film è diretto del pluripremiato regista Kenji Kamiyama (la serie TV "Blade Runner: Black Lotus" e "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex").

Ambientato 183 anni prima degli eventi della trilogia originale, "Il Signore degli Anelli: La Guerra dei Rohirrim" racconta il destino della Casata di Helm Hammerhand, il leggendario re di Rohan. Un attacco a sorpresa da parte di Wulf, un astuto e spietato signore del Dunlending in cerca di vendetta per la morte di suo padre, costringe Helm e il suo popolo a organizzare un'audace ultima resistenza nell'antica roccaforte di Hornburg - una possente fortezza in seguito conosciuta come il Fosso di Helm. Trovandosi in una situazione sempre più disperata, Héra, la figlia di Helm, deve trovare il coraggio di guidare la resistenza contro un nemico mortale intenzionato alla loro totale distruzione.

Liebe Solarpunks aus DACH (Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz),

ich überlege gerade, ob es sinnvoll sein könnte, hier auf Lemmy eine deutschsprachige Solarpunk Community einzurichten.

Mögliche Themen und Ziele:

  • deutschsprachige Ressourcen austauschen
  • auf Veranstaltungen aufmerksam machen
  • evtl. lokale Communities finden/gründen
  • Menschen erreichen, die nicht supersicher im Englischen sind
  • die Bewegung in DACH größer und bekannter machen.

Hättet ihr Lust auf sowas?
