This project, supported by a bloc expanded to ten countries, aims to reduce dependence on SWIFT and US sanctions.

Space-Time Does Not Exist – Here’s Why That Matters Whether or not space-time exists should not be considered controversial or even conceptually difficult once we are clear on the meanings of “space-time,” “events,” and “instants.” Believing in the existence of space-time is no more viable than holding onto the old notion of a celestial sphere: both are observer-centered models that are powerful and convenient for describing the world, but neither represents reality itself.

What if the Universe Remembers Everything? New Theory Rewrites the Physics rules For over a hundred years, physics has rested on two foundational theories. Einstein’s general relativity describes gravity as the curvature of space and time, while quantum mechanics governs the behavior of particles and fields. Each theory is highly successful within its own domain, yet combining them leads to contradictions, particularly in relation to black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and the origins of the universe.

Scientists: Universe will 'end in a big crunch' predicting when it will happen We’ve grown up with the idea that the universe will expand forever, meaning that something called the “cosmological constant” is positive. Space keeps stretching, galaxies drift farther apart, and that seems final. A new analysis suggests that story might be wrong. It argues that expansion could slow, stop, and – far in the future – reverse. This idea posits that the cosmological constant is actually negative, not positive, as we have assumed.

In one hyper-realistic nine-second video, we were shown skydiving (and grinning) with pizzas as parachutes.
