Are ‘mind children’ the future of reproduction?
Forget dirty nappies. In Silicon Valley, there’s increasing chatter about virtual offspring
A few months ago, an AI researcher from Europe attended a dinner party in Silicon Valley. During one of the many courses, the host addressed his guests, all of whom worked in AI. The researcher paraphrased his message like this: “Isn’t it amazing that we are the last generation of humans who will need to think about procreating biologically? We were lucky enough to be born at a time where we can simply upload our consciousnesses instead.”
“I didn’t see that coming,” the researcher told me. “I was just enjoying my fish.”
Most Powerful Neutrino Ever Detected May Have Come From a Blazar
A 220 PeV neutrino detected beneath the Mediterranean Sea may have originated from a distant blazar. Simulations suggest these powerful black hole systems can generate ultra-high-energy ghost particles.
Blue Origin’s New Glenn Rocket Explodes During Pre-Launch Test in Florida
Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket exploded during a hotfire test at Cape Canaveral on May 28, 2026. The loss could impact NASA’s Artemis Moon plans and future Amazon Kuiper satellite launches.
NASA’s MAVEN Detects Rare Solar Wind Effect in Mars Atmosphere
NASA’s MAVEN orbiter has detected the Zwan-Wolf effect on Mars for the first time. The discovery suggests solar wind interactions on unmagnetized worlds are more complex than scientists once believed.
NASA Plans Giant Moon Base at Lunar South Pole for Artemis Era
NASA plans to build a vast lunar base near the Moon’s south pole during the 2030s. Water ice, near-constant sunlight, drones, and advanced rovers could support long-term human settlement under the Artemis program.
Scientists Discover 77 Rare Red Quasars Hidden Behind Cosmic Dust
Scientists have discovered 77 rare red quasars hidden behind cosmic dust using NASA’s SPHEREx telescope. The findings support theories linking galaxy mergers to rapid black hole growth and galaxy evolution.
New Black Hole Study Suggests Singularities May Not Exist
A new study suggests charged black holes may avoid singularities through quantum effects and Hawking radiation. The findings could reshape theories of gravity, space-time, and even the origins of dark matter.
NASA Just Released One of the Most Detailed Maps of the Night Sky Ever
NASA’s TESS mission has created its most complete map of the night sky using eight years of observations. The mosaic includes nearly 6,000 known and candidate exoplanets and highlights the mission’s growing role in discovering distant worlds.
Mysterious Stacked Rocks Spotted by NASA Perseverance Rover on Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover photographed a strange rock formation on Mars that appears to show three stacked rocks. Scientists believe wind and ancient water activity likely shaped the unusual structure over millions of years.
