Alien Cosmic Visitor Might Have Completely Rearranged Our Solar System https://www.ndtv.com/science/alien-cosmic-visitor-might-have-completely-rearranged-our-solar-system-study-finds-7513513/amp/1 Scientists have claimed that an interstellar visitor, much larger than any celestial body in our solar system, might have dramatically altered the orbits of the planets. The research, yet to be peer-reviewed but published in the arXiv preprint database, posits that this cosmic intruder, possibly eight times the mass of Jupiter, passed very close to where Mars orbits today, potentially affecting the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. originally posted at

Astronomers find hundreds of 'hidden' black holes — and there may be even more Astronomers have discovered hundreds of hidden supermassive black holes lurking in the universe — and there may be billions or even trillions more out there that we still haven't found. originally posted at

Could These Mysterious “Little Red Dots” Be the Universe’s Earliest Black Holes? Astronomers compile a large sample of an unusual class of objects in an effort to connect the dots to the early universe. Shortly after NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope began its science operations, astronomers encountered an unexpected discovery in the data: small, red objects scattered across the distant, early universe. These intriguing phenomena, now referred to as “little red dots” (LRDs), remain poorly understood, raising fresh questions and inspiring new theories about the processes shaping the universe’s infancy. originally posted at

Millions of Internet Hosts Vulnerable to Attacks Due to Tunneling Protocol Flaws New research shows that over 4 million systems on the internet, including VPN servers and home routers, are vulnerable to attacks due to tunneling protocol vulnerabilities. The research was conducted by Mathy Vanhoef, a professor at the KU Leuven university in Belgium, and PhD student Angelos Beitis, in collaboration with VPN testing company Top10VPN. Vanhoef is well known for his Wi-Fi security research, including for the attacks named Dragonblood, KRACK and FragAttacks. originally posted at

A Scientist Says Humans Can Slow Time With Their Minds Time isn’t nearly as immutable as it first seems. Ask any astrophysicist, and they’ll likely regale you with mind-bending descriptions of a gravity’s effect on space-time (i.e. the more massive the object, the slower time appears to travel around it). Some cosmologists even wonder if entire pockets of the universe—whether filled with galaxies or endless nothing—experience time at different rates. However, the perception of the speed at which time passes can also vary within our minds. And it’s this mental realm that Steve Taylor—a psychologist at Leeds Beckett University—is exploring in a new, yet-to-be-published paper and a new book called Time Expansion Experiences originally posted at

Heliophysics Is Set to Shine in 2025 https://archive.ph/20250103132813/https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heliophysics-is-set-to-shine-in-2025/ If our solar system were to lose a few moons or even a planet, the difference might be hard to notice—but lose the sun, and everything changes. Despite its role as neighborhood linchpin, however, scientists still have a whole host of questions about how the sun works and how it influences our daily life on Earth and in space. And 2025 is poised to play a key role in getting answers. Three factors are combining to make the coming year particularly exciting for the discipline known as heliophysics: the sun’s natural activity cycle, a fleet of spacecraft launches and the release of a blueprint designed to guide the next decade of work in the field. originally posted at

Former CIA Officer Warns: 1,000 Al-Qaeda Fighters In US For Next Homeland Attack In a recent discussion on the Shawn Ryan Show, former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams warned of a potentially devastating attack planned by Al-Qaeda terrorists on American soil. The interview offers significant insights into what may be unfolding, as Al-Qaeda sleeper cells could be activating in the wake of the New Orleans terrorist attack and a possible vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) in the rear of a rented Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump's hotel in Las Vegas just hours later. originally posted at

Why Probability Probably Doesn’t Exist (but It’s Useful to Act like It Does) Life is uncertain. None of us know what is going to happen. We know little of what has happened in the past, or is happening now outside our immediate experience. Uncertainty has been called the ‘conscious awareness of ignorance’ — be it of the weather tomorrow, the next Premier League champions, the climate in 2100 or the identity of our ancient ancestors. originally posted at

Scientists Destroy 99% of Cancer Cells in Lab Using Vibrating Molecules Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. A study published last year found stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of cancer cells. originally posted at

Distant blazar discovery supports rapid black hole formation in early universe https://phys.org/news/2024-12-distant-blazar-discovery-rapid-black.html Astronomers have discovered an important piece of the puzzle of how supermassive black holes were able to grow so quickly in the early universe: a special kind of active galactic nucleus so distant that its light has taken more than 12.9 billion years to reach us. This so-called blazar serves as a statistical marker: its existence implies the presence of a large but hidden population of similar objects, all of which should emit powerful particle jets. originally posted at
