Scientists in Antarctica Detect Deep-Earth Signals That Defy Known Physics

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-14 01:35:49

A balloon-borne experiment over Antarctica, designed to detect cosmic radio waves, has instead picked up bizarre signals that appear to be coming from deep within the ice. These signals challenge our current understanding of particle physics, scientists say. The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment consists of radio antennas flown on NASA balloons 19 to 24 miles (30 to 39 kilometers) over the surface of Antarctica. In recent years, the detector has recorded radio pulses that

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-14 08:01:52

Finding high-quality audio can be quite a challenge. Even though wireless earphones are super popular, true audiophiles still prefer wired options for the best sound experience. This is especially true if you’re a musician or a sound engineer, as precision and quality are key. There are differences even then. While you can find many good in-ear monitors, the top-rated ones can often come with a hefty price tag, making them less accessible for the average consumer. That’s the challenge that Kiwi

One of the places that Jeff Bezos lives is a man-made island off the coast of Florida called Indian Creek Village. The island is predominantly populated by other billionaires and is colloquially known as the “Billionaire Bunker.” In fact, if you’re not a billionaire, it’s quite difficult to get in. The bridge from the mainland to the island is closed to the public and protected by armed guards and a sophisticated security system.

Within this seemingly simple computation, however, lurks a powerful multiplier. At any given level of the building, the compression figure remains constant; the wind may blow harder, but the structure doesn’t get any heavier. Thus, immense leverage can result from higher wind forces. In the Citicorp tower, the forty-per-cent increase in tension produced by a quartering wind became a hundred-and-sixty-per-cent increase on the building’s bolts.

Modifying an HDMI dummy plug's EDID using a Raspberry Pi

I recently found myself needing to change the monitor that a cheap HDMI “dummy plug” pretended to be. It was a random one I had bought on Amazon several years ago that acted as a 4K monitor, and I needed it to be something simpler that didn’t support a 4K resolution. The story behind why is a long one that I’m still figuring out and might eventually become a separate blog post in the future.
