Scientists: A new kind of fact-resistant humans is endangering the planet

According to worrying new research, scientists have identified a strong new strain of fact-resistant people that are endangering the Earth’s capacity to support life.

The University of Minnesota study finds a virulent strain of individuals that are practically impervious to any type of verified information, leaving experts baffled as to how to counter them.

“These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those faculties totally inactive. As facts have multiplied, their defenses against those facts have only grown more powerful.”

While scientists do not have a strong understanding of the mechanisms that prevent fact-resistant individuals from absorbing facts, they speculate that the strain may have gained the capacity to intercept and reject information en route from the auditory nerve to the brain. “The normal functions of human consciousness have been completely nullified,” Logsdon said.

While reiterating the study’s gloomy findings, Logsdon expressed optimism that the threat of fact-resistant people may be minimized in the future. “Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said.

S29. The Enigmatic Divide: Exploring Why the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans Don’t Mix. S29

The world’s oceaпs, vast aпd mysterioυs, hold maпy secrets withiп their depths. Amoпg their eпigmatic woпders is the pecυliar pheпomeпoп of the Atlaпtic aпd Pacific Oceaпs steadfastly maiпtaiпiпg their boυпdaries, resistiпg the υrge to iпtermiпgle oп a graпd scale. Iп this article, we delve iпto the captivatiпg reasoпs behiпd the distiпctiveпess of these two mighty bodies of water. Oпe crυcial aspect that keeps the Atlaпtic aпd Pacific Oceaпs apart lies iп the disparity of their water deпsities. Seawater deпsity is iпflυeпced by variables like temperatυre, saliпity, aпd pressυre. The Atlaпtic Oceaп boasts higher saliпity levels, primarily dυe to its sigпificaпt freshwater iпflυx from rivers. Coпversely, the Pacific Oceaп hosts larger areas of lower saliпity waters, coυrtesy of factors like raiпfall aпd meltiпg ice.

A Mysterious Object 570 billion times brighter than the sun has been found by astronomers

Image
There is a massive ball of hot gas billions of light-years distant that is brighter than hundreds of billions of suns. [ This is an updated version of the previous article. ] It’s difficult to envision anything so bright. So, what exactly is it? Astronomers aren’t sure, but they do have a few theories. They believe it is a magnetar, a kind of supernova that is so strong that it pushes the energy boundaries of physics, or the most powerful supernova ever witnessed as of today. Astronomers are struggling to find a way to characterize this object since it is so bright . “If it’s a magnetar, it’s as if nature took everything we know about magnetars and turned it up to 11,” said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of Astronomy at Ohio State University and the team’s co-principal investigator. The All-Sky Automated Survey of Supernovae (ASAS-SN or “assassin”), a compact network of telescopes meant to locate luminous things in the cosmo...

Myanmar violence and sea disputes to dominate ASEAN talks joined by US, Russian and Chinese envoys

Myanmar’s prolonged civil strife, tensions in the disputed South China Sea and concern over arms buildups in the region are expected to dominate the agenda when Southeast Asia’s top diplomats gather for talks this week in Indonesia JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Myanmar’s prolonged civil strife, tensions in the disputed South China Sea and concern over arms buildups in the region are expected to dominate the agenda when Southeast Asia’s top diplomats gather for talks this week in Indonesia. Russia's year-old invasion of Ukraine and the U.S.-China rivalry will also be under the spotlight as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang participate as dialogue partners of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations foreign ministers in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. North Korea has yet to say whether its foreign minister, Choe Son Hui, will attend the ASEAN Regional Forum, an annual regional security meeting. It's ...
