Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization's supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically pr...

A mathematical analysis demonstrates that the fundamental nature of reality operates in a way that computers can't simulate.

A fully consistent and complete description of reality requires non-algorithmic understanding, which by definition is beyond algorithmic computation.

40 Percent of Stroke Animal Studies May Have Problematic Images Red flags during a literature review led to the discovery of over 200 papers on animal models of stroke with duplicated images, which is likely an underestimate.

Screenshot of first two paragraphs of the "Expression of Concern". Editorial expression of concern Effects of α-Synuclein Immunization in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease Eliezer Masliah,* Edward Rockenstein, Anthony Adame, Michael Alford, Leslie Crews, Makoto Hashimoto, Peter Seubert, Michael Lee, Jason Goldstein, Tamie Chilcote, Dora Games, and Dale Schenk (Neuron, Vol. 46, 857–868; June 16, 2005) Concerned readers alerted the Neuron editorial team to a number of potential issues with this paper. Concerns include suspected image manipulation in blots and fluorescence immunostaining, as well as the reuse of a previously published figure panel to illustrate a histology section. Some sections of the western blots appear to have been duplicated. The fluorescent signal in certain panels with double immunohistochemistry is alleged to have been inappropriately enhanced by adjusting the gain or background, which may distort the true signal. We, the editors of Neuron, contacted the corresponding author, Eliezer Masliah, for an explanation. Co-authors Dora Games and Leslie Crews concur with E. Masliah. Co-authors Edward Rockenstein, Michael Alford, and Dale Schenk have passed away. E. Masliah was not able to locate the other co-authors, most of whom retired several years ago. E. Masliah provided some original images for our evaluation and offered an explanation of how these issues might have occurred.

Paper by former top NIH official and neuropathologist Eliezer Masliah received an Expression of Concern last week by Neuron.
While it benefits other scientists that the paper is now flagged, two things could have been done much better.

The construction industry’s carbon emissions are set to double by 2050, emitting enough CO2 to breach 2ºC by 2040 on their own, unless major changes are instigated.

Excited to share that my first journal paper (w/ Dr Craig Robson & @alistaircford.bsky.social) has been published in the Journal of Cycling and Micromobility Research! Read more (open access) here: doi.org/10.1016/j.jc...

L'uragano Melissa ha raggiunto Categoria 5 ed è ormai sulla Giamaica.

Si tratta, per l'isola caraibica, del più intenso uragano mai registrato a ottobre e di uno dei più forti in assoluto.

Sono previste raffiche superiori ai 250 km/h e precipitazioni fino a 400-500 mm in due giorni. 1/2

ICE is out of control and beyond repair This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

ICE is a profit driver for the private prisons, and large corporations like Amazon, AT&T, Google, Microsoft, and FedEx who spend millions paying off politicians to get ICE contracts.

We can’t abolish ICE until we end corporate and dark money in politics.

US to announce recipients of plutonium for reactors by year-end The U.S. Department of Energy expects to begin announcing by December 31 which companies will take about 19.7 metric tons of surplus Cold War-era plutonium for eventual processing into nuclear reactor fuel, a document showed on Wednesday.

Renewable energy investment should come from defence budgets, say retired military leaders Former European officers say spending on low-carbon power would make nations more resilient to threats from potential aggressors

“A reliance on fossil fuels makes our countries less secure. It leaves us susceptible to huge price spikes during times of conflict – as we saw when Russia invaded Ukraine.”
(The same applies to the majority of Europe’s nuclear fuel rods, btw)

In the Netherlands we switched from voting machines back to pen and paper when some white hat hackers showed how easily voting machines could be manipulated.

Not having open source with hash verification should be disqualifying.

The US is making itself extremely vulnerable to massive voter fraud.

Academic axed from Labour conference panel for criticising energy policy Sustainability expert was told panellists discussing North Sea oil and gas were meant to ‘agree entirely’ with each other

"point out that North Sea oil doesn’t cut UK energy bills, and suddenly you’re censored"

This dismal government refuses to hear the truth as it prepares the way to give the green light to new oil and gas fields

Despicable and complete madness
