Scientists are searching for a mirror universe. It could be sitting right in front of you.

A mirrorverse could be just as real as our own universe but almost completely cut off from it.

If the "mirrorverse" exists, upcoming experiments involving subatomic particles could reveal it.

At Oak Ridge National Laboratory in eastern Tennessee, physicist Leah Broussard is trying to open a portal to a parallel universe. She calls it an “oscillation” that would lead her to “mirror matter,” but the idea is fundamentally the same. In a series of experiments she plans to run at Oak Ridge this summer, Broussard will send a beam of subatomic particles down a 50-foot tunnel, past a powerful magnet, and into an impenetrable wall. If the setup is just right — and if the universe cooperates — some of those particles will transform into mirror-image versions of themselves, allowing them to tunnel right through the wall. And if that happens, Broussard will have uncovered the first evidence of a mirror world right alongside our own.

Νευρικός κλονισμός και μαζικός πανικός για χιλιάδες Νεοϋορκέζους από σκάσιμο... μιας εξάτμισης (video)

Όπου φύγει-φύγει χθες βράδυ, τουρίστες, πλανόδιοι πωλητές, καταστηματάρχες και παρευβρισκόμενοι πλησίον της Τάιμς Σκουέαρ στην Νέα Υόρκη, όταν η εξάτμιση μιας μοτοσικλέτας "έσκασε" δημιουργώντας πανικό στο πλήθος, το οποίο στον απόηχο των τελευταίων μαζικών δολοφονικών επιθέσεων στο Ελ Πάσο και το Ντέιτον νόμισε ότι βρισκόταν στο έλεος ενός ακόμη ενεργού σκοπευτή που πραγματοποιούσε τρομοκρατική επίθεση.

Το πτώμα της 34χρονης Βρετανίδας αστροφυσικού, που αγνοείτο ενώ έκανε διακοπές στην Ικαρία, εντοπίστηκε σε χαράδρα σήμερα (Τετάρτη) το απόγευμα. Ειδικότερα, το πτώμα της βρέθηκε σε δύσβατη χαράδρα της περιοχής Κεραμέ Ικαρίας, σε σχετικά κοντινή απόσταση από το ξενοδοχείο όπου διέμενε. Στον τόπο που εντοπίστηκε το πτώμα, μετέβη ειδικό κλιμάκιο για αυτοψία.

When you look up at the moon, there may now be a few thousand water bears looking back at you. The Israeli spacecraft Beresheet crashed into the moon during a failed landing attempt on April 11. In doing so, it may have strewn the lunar surface with thousands of dehydrated tardigrades, Wired reported yesterday (Aug. 5).

A Reuters estimate had predicted that the People’s Bank of China would fix the yuan at 6.9994 against the dollar on Wednesday.

The yuan has been weakening in recent months, especially as the trade war between the U.S. and China intensified.

China’s central bank set the official midpoint reference for the yuan at 6.9996 — stronger than 7 per dollar on Wednesday — two days after Washington labeled Beijing a currency manipulator.

Volatility Erupts Everywhere as Trade War Becomes a Currency War

Volatility is here and set to spread

That’s the view from Wall Street, which holds that Tuesday’s rebound in risk assets from the biggest decline in the S&P 500 Index of 2019 is just a lull in what has traditionally been a rocky month. Selling sparked by forced adjustments among systematic investors and a plunge in global equity sentiment combine with the seasonal pattern of volatility to thoroughly alarm Masanari Takada, cross-asset and quantitative strategist at Nomura. “It would be a mistake to dismiss the possibility of a Lehman-like shock as a mere tail risk,’’ the strategist warned.

Χιλιάδες παιδιά πεθαίνουν από ναρκωτικά καθε μέρα στις ΗΠΑ, στον Καναδά, στην Ευρώπη και κανένα δελτίο ειδήσεων δεν αναφέρεται ποτέ σ' εκείνα, όμως ο θάνατος ενός ακόμη απογόνου των Κένεντι και μάλιστα σε νεαρή ηλικία από την μάστιγα της εποχής μας αποτελεί εξαίρεση.
