It is a direct consequence of Einstein’s theory of general relativity and implies that the past, present, and future all exist in the same sense. I have talked about this previously, but in the past years I have changed my mind about the role of quantum mechanics in this argument. 📚 Buy my book ➜ https://amzn.to/3HSAWJW 👕T-shirts, mugs, posters and more: ➜ https://sabines-store.dashery.com/ 💌 Support me on Donorbox ➜ https://donorbox.org/swtg 👉 Transcript with links to references on Patreon ➜ / sabine 📝 Transcripts and written news on Substack ➜ https://sciencewtg.substack.com/ 📩 Free weekly science newsletter ➜ https://sabinehossenfelder.com/newsle… 👂 Audio only podcast ➜ https://open.spotify.com/show/0MkNfXl… 🔗 Join this channel to get access to perks ➜ / @sabinehossenfelder #physics #philosophy.

Antarctica in 2025: Drivers of deep uncertainty in projected ice loss

Antarctic ice plays a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate, global sea levels, ocean circulation, and planetary reflectivity.

Learn more in this Science Review.

Antarctica is a vital component of Earth’s climate system, influencing global sea level, ocean circulation, and planetary albedo. Major knowledge gaps in critical processes—spanning the atmosphere, ocean, ice sheets, underlying beds, ice shelves, and sea ice—create uncertainties in future projections, hindering climate adaptation and risk assessments of ice intervention strategies. Antarctica’s ice sheet could contribute 28 centimeters to sea level by 2100, and potentially more if we surpass warming thresholds that trigger instabilities and rapid retreat. We review recent advances in understanding the changing stability of the ice sheet margins and identify key processes that require further research. Progress requires high-resolution satellite data, targeted field campaigns, improved modeling, and refined theory.

Seismic Mystery Solved: Scientists Find a New State of Matter at Earth’s Center

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state under Earth’s core pressure and temperature conditions. Beneath Earth’s molten outer core lies a solid central region, the inner core, a compact sphere made of an iron lig

“Dawn Of A New Era”: A US Nuclear Company Becomes First Ever Startup To Achieve Cold Criticality

“President Trump asked industry and the labs to make nuclear great again. We got together and decided to start with the basics of fission. This team delivered incredible results safely so we can keep moving up the technical ladder,” commented Max Ukropina, Head of Projects at Valar Atomics.

“America should be thrilled, but wanting more,” he added.

Ireland recalls almost 13,000 passports over missing ‘IRL’ code

Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs has recalled nearly 13,000 passports after a software update caused a printing defect.

The printing error makes the documents non-compliant with international travel standards and potentially unreadable at automated border gates.
