Yep, sounds legit

Pianist João Carlos Martins had not played with 10 fingers since he lost the use of his right hand in 1995.

He returned to play thanks to bionic gloves invented by designer Ubiratan B. Costa.

This is the first time he did it.

Scientists believe that the Milky Way is not only flying at 600 km/s, but also “flapping its wings”.

In this image taken with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope, the butterfly-shaped nebula NGC 2899 appears to float in the vacuum of space. But this cosmic gas bubble, located between 3,000 and 6,500 light-years away, is not as serene as the winged insect it resembles. In fact, this planetary nebula was formed by the death of one of the two stars that astronomers believe reside at its center.

Astronomers believe that one of the two stars shed its outer layers at the end of its life, while the other is now dancing in a stream of gas from its neighbor, creating this stunning cosmic butterfly. The gas extends up to two light-years from the nebula’s center, glowing against the backdrop of the Milky Way. This gas can reach temperatures of over 10,000 degrees, thanks to radiation from the parent stars buried within.

The First Stars of the Universe Have Been Discovered

Astronomers from the University of Texas at Austin have discovered the galaxy GLIMPSE-16403, which may contain the first stars of the Universe — Population III. These ancient stars formed about 13 billion years ago, when space was filled only with hydrogen and helium. They became the first “factories” of heavy elements, without which carbon, oxygen, iron, and all the planets, including Earth, would not have appeared.

GLIMPSE-16403 existed only 825 million years after the Big Bang, during the Cosmic Dawn. This is the era when the first stars dispersed the darkness of the early Universe. They were more massive than modern stars, but they lived very little — only a few million years, after which they exploded. This is precisely why it was quite difficult to detect them.

Their traces were found thanks to the Webb telescope, which recorded the characteristic radiation of hydrogen and helium without admixtures of other elements.

Although confirmation of the nature of the stars in GLIMPSE-16403 has yet to be confirmed, it is the best candidate known. If confirmed, the discovery could help solve one of the great mysteries of cosmology: how the first stars formed and how they influenced the evolution of the universe.

"Por encima del ídolo social, el pacto original del espíritu con el universo", escribió Simone Weil. Esta idea merece una reflexión profunda. En lugar de escoger la voz de la sociedad -el gran animal que denunció Platón-, de las opiniones, del mundo burgués, debemos optar por la voz que proviene del universo y resuena en el corazón humano, donde, según las Upanishad, yace una presencia inmaculada y divina, que iguala al alma con la divinidad.

Weil sostiene que la sociedad, con sus opiniones y normas burguesas, capitalistas y demás, moldea nuestra percepción del mundo y altera nuestra orientación. El ser humano, generalmente, dedica su atención y deseo más preciados a obtener prestigio y estatus, persiguiendo cosas que la sociedad le ha enseñado a querer. Al mismo tiempo, es bombardeado por estímulos e ideas que generan pensamientos y fantasías que pervierten su mente. Weil ya notaba en los años 40 que la revista Marie Claire, con su enfoque social y progresista, era más perjudicial que la cocaína. Hoy en día, pasar horas en TikTok o Instagram afecta al sistema de dopamina del cerebro de manera similar al consumo de drogas como la cocaína.

Para Weil, la sociedad se convierte en una falsa religión que reemplaza la relación original entre el espíritu y el universo (la encarnación de la divinidad). Esta relación es la base del hinduismo: una profunda identidad entre el pensamiento y el cosmos, o entre el alma y Dios (atman y brahman).
