Saturday Citations: When the universe was young and cute. Plus: Southern Ocean cooling trend explained phys.org/news/2025-03-saturday #science

phys.orgSaturday Citations: When the universe was young and cute. Plus: Southern Ocean cooling trend explainedOne of the strangest facts in computer science is that it's really hard to generate true random numbers. For a computer, anyway. I can do it just fine: 173, 401, 530. That's right off the top of my head, true randomness. Scientists: If you need a random number, please contact me by email, night or day. However, a multi-institutional group of researchers now reports generating "demonstrated certified randomness" using a 56-qubit quantum computer. A study in Frontiers in Marine Science reports evidence of deep ecosystem consequences following the disappearance of great white sharks from False Bay, South Africa. And in actually great medical news, a team at McMaster University discovered a new class of antibiotics.

It couldn't be more clear, in the midst of a surging climate and environmental catastrophe, that we need to urgently make huge systemic changes.

But those who own the system are not interested.

So instead we'll just get more and more of the same — more drilling for oil, more fracking for gas, more digging for coal, more burning of fossil fuels, along with more pollution and even more greenhouse gases. Plus we’ll also get more gigantic government subsidies to companies actively destroying the climate, AND more outrageously high profits for fossil fuel executives.

Business As Usual must go on, baby!

Parker: The Solar System from Near the Sun

https://www.youtube.com/embed/YW1yQt3K_YY

If you watch long enough, a comet will appear. Before then, you will see our Solar System from inside the orbit of Mercury as recorded by NASA's Parker Solar Probe looping around the Sun. The video captures coronal streamers into the solar wind, a small Coronal Mass Ejection, and planets including, in order of appearance, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. Between the emergence of Earth and Mars, Comet Tempel 1 appears with a distinctive tail. The continuous fleeting streaks are high energy particles from the Sun impacting Parker's sideways looking camera. The featured time-lapse video was taken last year during Encounter 21, Parker's 21st close approach to the Sun. Studying data and images from Parker are delivering a better understanding of the dynamic Sun's effects on Earth's space weather as well as humanity's power grids, spacecraft, and space-faring astronauts.

Narcissists are more honest after being exposed to explanations of different rationalizations of unethical behavior (assuming everybody does it, blaming others, minimizing harm, or using euphemistic language) and how using these rationalizations can adversely affect one's standing.

URL: goodnewsnetwork.org/when-you-b

It’s a wise man or woman who treats strangers with kindness because of the old maxim that you don’t know what kind of day they’re having. For Tracey Holms-Williams, a Philadelphia trolley operator, that’s more than just a maxim—it’s her Modus Operandi. Working for the Southeast Philadelphia Transportation Authority (SEPTA) for 26 years, Tracey does […]
