Einstein’s dream of a unified field theory accomplished?
https://phys.org/news/2025-04-einstein-field-theory.html
Interesting if valid. Lets see?
“Since the early days of general relativity, leading physicists, like Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger, have tried to unify the theory of gravitation and electromagnetism. Many attempts were made during the 20th century, including by Hermann Weyl.
Finally, it seems that we have found a unified framework to accommodate the theory of electricity and magnetism within a purely geometric theory. This means that electromagnetic and gravitational forces are both manifestations of ripples and curvatures in >spacetime geometry.”
The key point:
“Our results indicate that light and all of electromagnetic
radiation are really oscillations of spacetime itself […]”.
The paper itself:
Electromagnetism as a purely geometric theory

The members of 11 outside advisory committees were notified today that their panels have been “disestablished.” In the emails from NSF senior officials, a copy of which Science has obtained, the agency says it is implementing the president’s 19 February executive order “on commencing the reduction of the federal bureaucracy.” The email adds, “Your valuable contributions helped us guide disciplinary and cross-disciplinary directions in science, technology, STEM education, and innovation, and we are certain they will continue to have”

New images could change cancer diagnostics but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them April 21, 2025
A groundbreaking microscope at Harvard Medical School could lead to breakthroughs in cancer detection and research into longevity. But the scientist who developed computer scripts to read its images and
unlock its full potential has been in an immigration detention center for two
months — putting crucial scientific advancements at risk.
So here we have a guy whose main achievement is spreading lies on Russian state television trying to block life-saving American medical research and intimidate American scientists.

Generative AI is learning to spy for the US military
In a test run, a unit of Marines in the Pacific used generative AI not just to collect intelligence but to interpret it. Routine intel work is only the start.

ECP NetHappenings Scheduled Nationwide Protests Against Trump

By seeking to “liberate” Germans from a globalized world order, the Nazi government sent the national economy careening backwards—and drove up the price of eggs 600 percent.
From almost the moment Adolf Hitler took office as chancellor of Germany, tariffs were at the top of his government’s economic agenda. The agricultural sector’s demands for higher tariffs “must be met,” Hitler’s economic minister, Alfred Hugenberg, declared on Wednesday, February 1, 1933, just over 48 hours into Hitler’s chancellorship, “while at the same time preventing harm to industry.”

Vanity Fair does a brilliant job bringing it all together in the copyright lawsuit against Facebook/Meta.
Allegations are an absolutely brutal demonstration of the company’s repeated abuse of its market power to try to stay ahead.
@YourAnonCentral
You may think we are just randomly posting, but the truth is, it makes troll farmers waste time trying to establish a counternarrative but if you hit them with so many different topics at once, their little system gets overwhelmed. They know this and can’t do anything about it.
Elon helped Trump hack the election to help him avoid going to prison. Trump ran to keep himself free. In exchange for what Elon did for him, he is under his thumb.
2 criminals
Trump and Musk made a deal to keep each other out of jail. We now have two corrupt illegitimate Russian-owned oligarchs destroying us from the inside. When is our intelligence community and military going to remove these traitorous fucking criminals?

BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was detained by immigration officials in Arizona for 10 days, according to AZPM.
Born here. Legal. Still detained.
This isn’t border security. It’s the erosion of civil rights under the banner of nationalism. When even citizens aren’t safe from ICE, the Constitution becomes a suggestion, not a safeguard.
BREAKING: House Republicans propose the following:
$4,500,000,000,000 in tax cuts to the richest people in America
$1,500,000,000,000 in spending cuts to things that make life better for everyone else — $3,000,000,000,000 added to the debt
Crypto doesn’t have nearly the impact that fiat money and bankers do on fraud against the people. Take a look at Wyoming !!!
Have you ever heard of the “cowboy cocktail”?
The term refers to Wyoming’s booming business of unregulated trusts that can interlock with anonymous LLCs registered in the state to create a secretive structure, layers that can help shield a person’s assets.

Early #Bitcoin was full of opportunities
By mining blocks of 50 BTC on a laptop, some were able to amass HUGE fortunes.
One was Michael Mancil Brown, known as KnightMB – he was once the 7th richest person in Bitcoin.
The largest address that holds mined bitcoin is
