Within a week of the disaster, reports have been available to inform […]
THE BBC again issued a live apology to viewers after Nick Kyrgios was busted simulating a sex act at the Queen’s Club Championship. The 23-year-old was busted on live TV in his 7-6 7-6 semi-final loss to Marin Cilic at the Wimbledon warm-up event. The broadcast cameras filmed Kyrgios at the start of his match […]
Computer simulations have become so accurate that cosmologists can now use them to study dark matter, supermassive black holes, and other mysteries of the real evolving cosmos. https://media.wired.com/photos/5b243c82c9906c0948a27126/master/pass/Galaxy-Quanta-FeatureArt.jpg
PRESS RELEASE: NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–February 27, 2018– What is reality? As VR technology continues to advance, digital simulation games push the boundary between real and unreal, as the virtual world becomes indistinguishable from objective reality. Nonetheless, the simulations in which these virtual worlds are created are extremely limited. Although the content can be vivid and […]
Drones have become a part of the modern battlefield, but what about autonomous full-size aircraft? Aurora Flight Sciences just successfully demonstrated its self-flying setup, the Autonomous Aerial Cargo Utility System (AACUS), enabling an older helicopter to fly itself at soldiers’ requests. In the future, troops in the field could use this tech to order autonomous […]
Being a high priest isn’t easy, especially when your irritable god is set to show up in a few years. This means a lot of book burnings, sin cleansings, sacrifices, and rooting out nonbelievers, which can all be a real drag should the irritate your handful of powerful allies. These people are backing you in […]

(credit: Microbiome, 2017) For many Earthlings, our planet is teeming with airborne pollens, spores, and toxins that clog schnozes and turn windpipes wheezy. Sadly, jumping to space rocks may not help, a new NASA study suggests. In a 30-day simulation of living life on another planet, […]
The US definitely doesn’t have a monopoly on long-term simulations of living on another planet. Four Beijing University students have begun a 200-day isolation experiment, Lunar Palace 365 (why not Lunar Palace 200?), where they’ll live solely on the resources they would have on the Moon or Mars. That means generating life-giving oxygen from plants, […]
The US put its Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) missile shield to the test in May, firing an intercontinental ballistic missile from the Marshall Islands and knocking it out of the sky with a missile fired from California. The long-planned test vindicated the expensive, complicated effort to defend the US homeland from missile attacks —but there’s still […]
Earth has been overrun by demons and other infernal creatures, destroying most of humanity in one fell swoop. Ragtag bands of survivors eke out a living in ruined cities, always on the run and in search of shelter. This is where you come in. Judgment: Apocalypse Survival Simulation is all about building a settlement while […]
