Altered states of consciousness induced by breathwork accompanied by music

news.ycombinator.com Amy Amla Kartar 2025-10-29 07:22:24

The popularity of breathwork as a therapeutic tool for psychological distress is rapidly expanding. Breathwork practices that increase ventilatory rate or depth, facilitated by music, can evoke subjective experiential states analogous to altered states of consciousness (ASCs) evoked by psychedelic substances. These states include components such as euphoria, bliss, and perceptual differences. However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the profound subjective effects of high ventilation b

Coming off a string of explosive failures, on Tuesday night SpaceX once again launched its gigantic Starship rocket into space, with both its stages successfully returning to their separate landing targets on Earth. This time, the only huge explosions were planned one: final blasts as the two spacecraft touched down.

With Starship Flight 10, SpaceX prioritized resilience over perfection

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-10-30 03:39:43

SpaceX has long marketed Starship as a fully and rapidly reusable rocket that’s designed to deliver thousands of pounds of cargo to Mars and make life multiplanetary. But reusability at scale means a space vehicle that can tolerate mishaps and faults, so that a single failure doesn’t spell a mission-ending catastrophe. The 10th test flight on Tuesday evening demonstrated SpaceX’s focus on fault tolerance. In a post-flight update, SpaceX said the test stressed “the limits of vehicle capabilities

He's still deploying these jokey ripostes, but there's reason to believe the walls may be starting to close in for SpaceX's efforts on Starship, as more and more of the ultra-expensive spacecraft fail in spectacular public view.
