Editor's Note: We think you should be aware that TP-Link routers are under investigation by the US government over security concerns and could be banned in the US this year, according to multiple news reports. The TP-Link Archer RE605X was previously named our best overall choice for Wi-Fi extenders. While our evaluation of the hardware hasn't changed, out of extreme caution for our readers, we decided to pause it as our top recommendation until we learn more. Read CNET's reporting for more info

Is Gravity Just Entropy Rising? Long-Shot Idea Gets Another Look

news.ycombinator.com George Musser 2026-03-19 00:36:41

Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other from afar. He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all sides. The object on the left absorbs the particles coming from the left, the one on the right absorb

Stanford Doctors Invent Device That Appears to Be Able to Save Tons of Stroke Patients Before They Die

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-18 21:45:17

Image by Andrew Brodhead Researchers have developed a novel device that literally spins away the clots that block blood flow to the brain and cause strokes. As Stanford explains in a blurb, the novel milli-spinner device may be able to save the lives of patients who experience "ischemic stroke" from brain stem clotting. Traditional clot removal, a process known as thrombectomy, generally uses a catheter that either vacuums up the blood blockage or uses a wire mesh to ensnare it — a procedure

David Attenborough at 99: 'I will not see how the story ends'

news.ycombinator.com David Attenborough 2026-03-19 02:21:28

My earliest memory of the ocean is of a tropical lagoon. Ammonites rose and fell in the warm water column, occasionally propelling themselves forwards, their curled ram’s horn shells surprisingly streamlined in the water. This tropical lagoon was in fact in my imagination, fired as I explored the old limestone quarry near my childhood home in Leicester, some 60 miles from the coast. For a small boy in the 1930s this was a marvellous place for adventures, and the knowledge that millions of year
