ReHacked vol. 294: JWST Finds Stunning Evidence for Alternate Theory of Gravity, EU slaps Meta with a nearly 800 million euro fine and more

James Webb Space Telescope Finds Stunning Evidence for Alternate Theory of Gravity - The Debrief #science #nature

According to McGaugh and colleagues, JWST’s data aligns more closely with predictions made by MOND proponents than with Lambda-CDM models. As an example, McGaugh highlights that the MOND-based predictions of R H Sanders matched observations more accurately than those made by Lambda-CDM advocates Mo, Mao, and White. Yet, despite the recent success, MOND remains a contentious theory, as reconciling it with Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity—a foundation of modern physics—has proven elusive.

“We can always attempt to modify a theory to accommodate new facts,” McGaugh concedes, acknowledging that while facts inconsistent with one model do not necessitate abandoning it entirely, the inability to fully explain observational data might indicate a weaker theoretical framework. Even so, some modern astronomical measurements does still favor the dark matter hypothesis.

EU slaps Meta with a nearly 800 million euro fine for engaging in 'abusive' Marketplace practices | AP News #copyrights

uropean Union regulators issued their first antitrust fine to Facebook parent Meta on Thursday with a penalty of nearly 800 million euros for what they call “abusive practices” involving its Marketplace online classified ads business.

The European Commission, the 27-nation bloc’s executive branch and top antitrust enforcer, issued the 797.72 million euro ($841 million) penalty after its long-running investigation found that the company abused its dominant position and engaged in anti-competitive behavior.

The untold story of the world’s biggest nuclear bomb - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists #warfare #history #longread

Designed to have a maximum explosive yield of 100 million tons (or 100 megatons) of TNT equivalent, the 60,000-pound monster bomb was detonated at only half its strength. Still, at 50 megatons, it was more than 3,300 times as powerful as the atomic bomb that killed at least 70,000 people in Hiroshima, and more than 40 times as powerful as the largest nuclear bomb in the US arsenal today. Its single test represents about one tenth of the total yield of all nuclear weapons ever tested by all nations.[2]

At the time of its detonation, the Tsar Bomba held the world’s attention, largely as an object of infamy, recklessness, and terror. Within two years, though, the Soviet Union and the United States would sign and ratify the Limited Test Ban Treaty, prohibiting atmospheric nuclear weapons testing, and the 50-megaton bomb would fall into relative obscurity.

Every Arthouse Buff You Know Is Pirating Films #copyrights #art

For anyone interested in movies and their history, breaking the law is a common situation. If it’s not on iTunes, or Amazon, or any of the big streamers, niche streamers, or the scrappy upstarts like the ad-supported B-movie haven Tubi, what else is there to do? For every Atlantics (2019) or All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) – festival hits that got splashy streaming deals with Netflix – there are films from visionary, award-winning directors, like Hong Sang-soo, Vivian Qu and Xavier Dolan, which never got official US or UK releases.
