MIT Just Proved Einstein Wrong in the Famous Double-Slit Quantum Experiment

MIT scientists have conducted the most precise version of the double-slit quantum experiment using ultracold atoms. The findings support Bohr’s Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and challenge Einstein’s belief in deterministic realism. The experiment offers robust evidence for quantum indeterminacy and reinforces Bell’s theorem, marking a critical step in our understanding of reality at the quantum level.

Allan Ahlberg, beloved children’s author, dies aged 87

Working first with his wife Jane, and later with illustrators including Raymond Briggs and Bruce Ingman, he wrote more than 150 books

Author Allan Ahlberg, who delighted generations of children with colourful characters and nimble rhymes, has died aged 87.

Working with his wife Janet, an award-winning illustrator, Ahlberg produced a host of bestselling nursery classics including Burglar Bill, Peepo!, and Each Peach Pear Plum.

Starlink’s Unintended Signals Threaten Astronomical Research, Study Finds

Astronomers have raised concerns over Starlink’s unintended radio emissions interfering with space observation. A Curtin University study found emissions from SpaceX satellites impacting up to 30% of astronomical data. Experts urge updated regulations to protect radio astronomy, as current rules overlook these non-deliberate signals from satellite constellations like Starlink's.
