From Gold To Bitcoin: What Investors Get Wrong About Value Storage https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2025/12/18/from-gold-to-bitcoin-what-investors-get-wrong-about-value-storage/ For centuries, gold was the benchmark for storing value: scarce, physical, and trusted. But in a digitized world where capital moves across borders in seconds, gold’s physicality has become a limitation. Bitcoin offers a modern alternative: scarce by design, instantly transferable, and secured by code rather than vaults. It offers a new baseline: a form of “hard money” fit for the 21st century, accessible to anyone with a digital wallet, not only those with vaults or access to bullion markets.

Scientists Confirm the Incredible Existence of Time Reflections
Basically, if you look in a time mirror, you’ll see your back instead of your face.
 The explanation of spatial reflections—whether by light or by sound—are pretty intuitive. Electromagnetic radiation in the form of light or sound waves hit a mirror or wall, respectively, and change course. This allows our eyes to see a reflection or echo of the original input. However, for more than 50 years, scientists have theorized that there’s another kind of reflection in quantum mechanics known as time reflection.

Scientists Designed a Warp Drive That Theoretically Works With Real Physics
A new study shows that warp metrics can fit Star Trek-esque starship designs.
 While living in his dorm at the University of Cardiff, Wales, Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre—then pursuing a Ph.D. in numerical relativity—wrote a short paper detailing the physical reality of the warp drive. Alcubierre often spent Friday nights with friends watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and one night, he pondered how exactly such an engine could work. Eventually published in 1994, the young physicist couldn’t have known that the resulting paper would inspire decades of research into the real-world applications of warp drives.

 When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational waves. These ripples move through the universe at the speed of light and create extremely small changes in the structure of space-time. Their existence was first predicted by Albert Einstein, and scientists confirmed them experimentally for the first time in 2015.

 A critical React vulnerability – CVE-2025-55182 (and the corresponding CVE-2025-66478 in Next.js) was published by the React maintainers. The vulnerability was named “React2Shell” by the original researcher as it leads to arbitrary code execution by remote (possibly unauthenticated) attackers. A remote attacker could craft a malicious HTTP request to any React Server Function endpoint that, when deserialized by React, achieves arbitrary code execution on the server. The exploitation success rate is reported to be nearly 100% in default configurations.
