The mysterious zones have the power to slow down seismic waves by up to 50 per cent, yet experts don’t know what they’re made of or what role they play. These strange black holes (figuratively speaking) are located within the Earth’s lower [mantle](https://www.indy100.com/topic/mantle) – near the [core](https://www.indy100.com/topic/earth-s-core) – and are known as ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs).

    And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.

    https://www.facebook.com/unizd/posts/pfbid02sn75brvNKh4JPfReAgDDrvJ6B93tY6uoKwAd71FLKLBrSLZn3KatnbniwPapMUunl

    Here's a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.

    You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a "total fabrication" when there's roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.

    I only posted this in news. Not sure why you commented twice and both were basically saying the same thing.

    Directly from the article

    "To their astonishment, it was a 4 to 5-meter-deep structure offering clues to a settlement almost identical to the one in Soline. They also dug out several Neolithic artifacts such as flint blades, stone axes, and fragments of wood on this site."

    I'm not personally saying that one building is a city but it's a start.

    They never mention the university at Bradford, but speak of the university of Zadar, so I'm not really sure why you linked that article that is related but not the same.

    Neutron Star Mergers Could Be Producing Quark Matter www.universetoday.com

    When neutron stars dance together, the grand smash finale they experience might create the densest known form of matter known in the Universe. It’s called “quark matter, ” a highly weird combo of liberated quarks and gluons. It’s unclear if the stuff existed in their cores before the end of their dance. However, in the [wild aftermath a neutron-star merger](https://www.universetoday.com/168053/the-aftermath-of-neutron-star-mergers/), the strange conditions could free quarks and gluons from protons and neutrons. That lets them move around freely in the aftermath. So, researchers want to know how freely they move and what conditions might impede their motion (or flow).

    Instead of the single-use paper or plastic cups that Gearhard would usually line up for the barista slinging espresso, he’s passing over shiny new reusable cups that bear the slogan “Sip, Return, Repeat”. Customers who need their lattes to go can take the purple cups with them, then return them to one of 60 bins scattered across downtown Petaluma when they’ve finished. Each cup comes with a trackable QR code to help monitor results.

    * Researchers have just found evidence of “dark electrons”—electrons you can’t see using spectroscopy—in solid materials. * By analyzing the electrons in palladium diselenide, the team was able to find states that functionally cancel each other out, blocking the electrons in those “dark states” from view. * The scientists believe this behavior is likely to be found across many other substances as well, and could help explain why some superconductors behave in unexpected ways.

    The researchers also say that current fire-resisting gels dry out and become useless about 45 minutes after being applied. With their new material however, because the silica aerogel stays behind until it is washed away, the coating could be applied well in advance of an approaching wildfire while still providing protection when the flames arrive

    Scientists Develop World’s Fastest Microscope — It’s So Fast It Can Capture Electrons Moving www.zmescience.com

    Their attosecond system involves a [powerful laser](https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/most-powerful-laser-weapon-9634654/) split into two components: a fast electron pulse and two ultrashort light pulses. The first light pulse, called the pump pulse, energizes a sample, triggering electron movement or other rapid changes. The second pulse, known as the optical gating pulse, creates a brief window to generate a single attosecond electron pulse. The timing of this gating pulse determines the image resolution. By precisely synchronizing these pulses, researchers can control when the electron pulses probe the sample, allowing them to observe ultrafast atomic-level processes.

    I always find it interesting how they largely just seem to have switched dogmatic stances from some religion to atheism.

    The real logical stance is "I do not know if this is true or not because it is unprovable".

    They look down on true believers while being true believers in atheism themselves.

    The other person who responded to me made a very all written post but it gets a core assumption completely wrong.

    They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen. That's why they think GDP has anything to do with our ability to service debt. But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.

    Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation. Spending and back stopping creation of money by private banks through the reserve system comes first. You can't destroy something you haven't created.

    It's sad, really. Economists and politicians have blinded everyone with what I think of as "the money delusion".

    It doesn't matter if the money can be "gathered up" to be spent on things we need. We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.

    The national "debt" is a misnomer. That's the amount of dollars left in circulation that have not been destroyed through taxation, as well as the "dollars" that pay interest which we call bonds.

    I'm glad to see at least a handful of other people who understand. Fight the good fight, fellow human.

    The federal government creates the currency, not the wealthy. We don't need their money. We tax them to destroy their power.

    If they won't employ people, sounds like it's time for a federal job guarantee. Let them wither away and die while we rebuild what they've destroyed

    Gotta love the old "it's society at large's fault" even though they knowingly have let the world burn for their profit as well as suppressed innovation and information that could have helped alleviate our issues.

    Oh and literally bribe our government to write laws to make them unaccountable.

    Fuck these people. They are monsters.

    If they want to have more rights than real people, they should have more accountability and responsibility, not less.
