MarathonFusion's alchemy and fusion claims lead Science & Space, with Artemis III and AI close behind

Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10. Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years. Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

Announcing three major scientific discoveries, one each in mathematics (harmonic analysis), computer science (complexity theory), and physics (quantum field theory). AI starting to help us improve our understanding of the universe! https://t.co/VkfacopR2R

I took about 50,000 photos through a 14" telescope last night to produce this: A hyper-detailed photo of the full moon. The fidelity of the photo was great enough to allow me to greatly enhance the color, revealing a hidden world of geological diversity. https://t.co/jMLhUe3kmj

btw the science folder is green. always has been. always will be.

We are not slowing down. 🚀 Our Artemis III mission will send four astronauts to low Earth orbit next year to test critical systems needed for future lunar landings https://t.co/G5CkHbQhFR and we’re accelerating efforts to ensure the success of Artemis IV, the first Artemis mission on the lunar surface https://t.co/zEDKEcLpXY.

Artemis III will be one of the most complex test missions in NASA history. Launching in 2027, Artemis III astronauts will practice rendezvous and docking with two commercial lunar landers designed to carry crew from the Orion spacecraft to the lunar surface.

The @NASAWebb telescope recently spotted stars brewing in this cosmic cauldron. This region of toil and trouble, named N159, is 161,000 light-years from Earth, in the Large Magellanic Cloud. https://t.co/CT6zPZbA1u

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful. https://t.co/4WgGMc6fGy

🚨: Engineers just proposed a 36 mile long spacecraft called 'Chrysalis' that could carry 2400 people to Alpha Centauri, just 4 light-years away from us, on one way trip. The journey will take 400 years! The passengers who board it will never see Earth again. Neither will their children. Or their grandchildren.

Still making tracks and doing science! Since breaking the all-time off-world driving distance record on Oct. 11, Perseverance has continued work on the Red Planet. ½ https://t.co/mgAbeWX1oL

ELON MUSK: "I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all. In fact, I told people that we’re probably going to fail, should give it a try, because if we don’t, if there’s not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly space-bearing civilization." https://t.co/GBhnKLelej

For anyone getting into biology, please consider taking airborne disease resistance more seriously. It's a super important area of medicine that is a huge cause of death and sickness but easily gets forgotten. We're likely to get many more airborne plagues in the future due to the combination of not just extremely dense and interconnected society (including city and farm animals), but also accidents from bio research and offensive biotech (both from random people and from secret government programs that can easily get themselves exempted from safety restrictions), all enhanced by powerful AI. Right now, this area is getting way less love than longevity research (which continues to be super important!), but it's an area where there are lots of unclaimed wins that we know exactly how to do (but are not yet doing) with present-day tech: * early detection * passive universal testing * filtration/ventilation/UVC * better vaccines (including making them open source and open science) * cryptography to make all of the above privacy-preserving We can have China-level pandemic resistance with Sweden-level limited intrusion into people's lives, and then go even further. We just have to actually do the work for it.
