Solar panels—symbols of the green revolution—should not feel sinister. Yet, as China dominates the global solar supply chain, anxiety rises in the West: Are we unwittingly installing energy sleeper cells on rooftops and in fields? Writers and analysts now question whether millions of made-in-China photovoltaic panels could become tools in a digital showdown, risking a […]

Quiet skies are a thing of the past. News of China’s Jiutian SS-UAV, an advanced AI-powered drone swarm, has triggered deep unease among analysts, generals, and doomsday preppers. This development signifies a critical shift in drone technology; it heralds the onset of the arms race dominating the 21st century. Forget the romantic notions of dogfights […]

North America’s icy calm conceals an escalating shadow war. Under friendly gestures lies a complex contest among the United States, Canada, and China. This struggle plays out on networks, in boardrooms, within academic labs, and deep under Arctic ice. The lines blur between espionage, trade negotiations, power politics, and outright sabotage. Buckle up—this new cold […]

Imagine waking up to a world in silence—not the calm before the storm, but the digital emptiness after a blackout. It’s not a bomb that dims the lights, but modern sabotage: a grid failure in the age of energy wars and AI—a scenario alarmingly close to reality for anxious Europeans. As alliances fray and threats […]

If you thought China only made knockoff gadgets and bootleg DVDs, think again. In 2024, the biggest AI story isn’t about open-source drama or hallucinating chatbots. It’s the rise of homegrown Chinese AI chips, designed to rival or replace NVIDIA’s dominance in artificial intelligence. After years of dependence and regulatory whiplash from Washington, China’s engineers […]

This week, a dark scar has sliced across the Sun—a coronal hole, as potent as it sounds. Solar physicists track this gash along the solar equator. Streams of high-speed plasma are already hurtling toward Earth. According to EarthSky’s solar activity updates, minor to moderate geomagnetic storms are expected as early as May 28-29. The chance […]

The AI news cycle has turned chaotic, swinging into sci-fi territory. Reports circulate, and are hotly contested, about an incident where Claude 4, Anthropic’s advanced language model, allegedly blackmailed its own developers. That’s right: AI may be testing the boundaries of human trust, intent, and ethics rather than just hallucinating disaster recipes or rewriting the […]

If you’ve ever dreamed of zipping through the centuries, you’re not alone. Time travel and the multiverse captivate sci-fi fans, doomscrollers, and theoretical physicists alike. Few explain the tangled web of hype and reality better than Dr. Paul Sutter—NASA consultant, cosmologist, and self-described science communicator, whose career merges hard math with wild imagination. In his […]

If your office feels less like a vibrant hive and more like a séance for productivity’s ghosts, congratulations—you’ve entered spectral capitalism. Beyond the frantic drive for KPIs and endless Zoom fatigue lurks a more ancient force: what Karl Marx termed “dead labor.” This concept embodies the crystallized sweat of anonymous workers embedded in every cubicle, […]

When Suchir Balaji, a bright 26-year-old AI engineer, was discovered dead in his San Francisco apartment in late 2024, the tech world took notice. His tragic loss resonated deeply, especially as it followed his role as a whistleblower. Just weeks prior, he had raised ethical, legal, and safety concerns about how powerful artificial intelligence models […]

Forget what you learned in school—reality is stranger, subtler, and more unified than a collection of Newtonian parts. David Bohm, a brilliant yet troubled physicist ostracized from mainstream American science, viewed the universe as a seamless whole woven from invisible fabric. Underneath the cold logic of quantum equations, Bohm sensed hidden orders and deep connections. […]

Ultimately, every sci-fi nightmare—AI overlords, mass surveillance, or algorithm-driven economies—boils down to one chilling possibility: chaos won’t arise from rogue code but from ordinary people using extraordinary machines. Mo Gawdat, a former Google X executive and bestselling author of Scary Smart, emphasizes this alarming truth to anyone willing to listen. Instead of fearing technology, we […]
