Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that’s left are some in inventory.

We will have an official ceremony to mark the ending of an era. I love those cars.

This was me at production launch 14 years ago:

As Mardi Gras celebrations wrap up here on Earth, don’t forget to look up to see one more parade in the night sky. ✨

Saturn, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter will line up in the southwestern sky. With a telescope or binoculars, you can see Uranus and Neptune in the procession, too!

Crew-12 will launch to the @Space_Station no earlier than Feb. 13.

Liftoff is scheduled for 5:15 a.m. EST (1015 UTC), and coverage begins here at 3:15am ET (0815 UTC).

@neiltyson It is interesting that statements are not backed up by the math. Especially from an Astrophysicist. Correlations and Causation....Show us the math to support your statement and not the headline.

Google’s new quantum chip is so powerful it might be tapping into parallel universes.

Google's groundbreaking quantum processor, Willow, has achieved the seemingly impossible: solving an extraordinarily complex computational problem in under five minutes—a feat that would require the world's most advanced supercomputer approximately 10 septillion years to complete (10²⁵).

This mind-boggling performance has revived one of the most provocative ideas in physics: could quantum computers like Willow be performing calculations across vast numbers of parallel universes?

Hartmut Neven, founder and lead of Google Quantum AI, believes the answer may be yes. He argues that Willow’s results align strikingly with the many-worlds (or multiverse) interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which every quantum measurement causes reality to branch into multiple, equally real parallel universes. In this view, a quantum computer doesn’t just calculate faster within our universe—it effectively distributes the workload across countless parallel realities simultaneously.

The idea traces back to physicist David Deutsch, who, as early as the 1980s, suggested that the exponential power of quantum computation could only be fully explained if the machine is exploiting resources from many coexisting worlds.

Yet the interpretation remains deeply divisive.

Many physicists and quantum computing experts insist that no multiverse is required. Willow’s breakthrough, they argue, is fully explainable through standard quantum mechanics—leveraging superposition (qubits existing in multiple states at once), entanglement, and the mathematics of high-dimensional Hilbert spaces—all within a single universe.

So what has Willow truly demonstrated?

It has pushed quantum technology into a regime so extreme that it compels us to re-examine the deepest foundations of reality itself. Whether or not Willow is quietly borrowing power from alternate universes, one thing is clear: practical, large-scale quantum computing is no longer science fiction—and it is forcing us to confront profound questions about the nature of the cosmos, computation, and existence.

Today marks 96 years since the first Friars attended class at Fenwick High School on September 9, 1929. The Illinois State Senate officially declared it Fenwick High School Day in 2018.

We are proud to celebrate 90+ years of providing Dominican Catholic education.

Join us tomorrow in honoring Ryno. 🤍

In lieu of flowers, the Sandberg family asks participating fans to bring nonperishable food items that will be donated to Nourishing Hope and Most Blessed Trinity Food Pantry.

@ChristianVDV Safe Travels. I hope to see you the last week of the TDF. Downers Grove guy. Will be with a tour group. My first attempt at the Bald Mountain!!!!

Who ever thought a pair of spacecraft launched in the ’70s would end up with a Twitter account?

We're signing off here, but our mission continues. (Fingers crossed for 50 years!) Thanks for being part of this remarkable story.

Stay curious. Stay kind. Stay inspired. 💫

And by "shortly after," I mean about 2,000 years 🙃

We're in interstellar space – but where are we headed next?

In about 40,000 years, V1 will come within 1.7 light years of a star in the Little Dipper called AC+79 3888.

Shortly after, V2 will come within ~1.7 light years of Ross 248, a star in the constellation of Andromeda.
