‘Near’ Infinite Data Compression Possible https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/06/near-infinite-data-compression-possible Mon, 01 Jul 2019 04:02:38 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/06/near-infinite-data-compression-possible Student from Canberra, Australia confirms that ‘near’ infinite data compression is possible.

Has proven that ‘near’ infinite compression of data is possible. Can shrink Terabytes of data to under 1440KB.Could technically store known, or ‘explored’, universe in an object smaller than a grapefruit.

  • (Smaller than a grapefruit seed in fact!).
  • How close to ‘zero’ (infinite) can you get?, much smaller than 1440KB he’ll say that much.

Laser Interferometry and Gravitational Wave Astronomy https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/06/laser-interferometry-and-gravitational-wave-astronomy Mon, 01 Jul 2019 02:43:01 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/06/laser-interferometry-and-gravitational-wave-astronomy

The Division focuses on the detection of gravitational waves and the development of gravitational-wave astronomy. This comprises the development and operation of large gravitational-wave detectors on the ground as well as in space, but also a full range of supporting laboratory experiments in quantum optics and laser physics.

According to Einstein´s theory of General Relativity, accelerated masses produce gravitational waves – perturbations of spacetime propagating at the speed of light through the universe, unhindered by intervening mass. The direct observation of gravitational waves on September 14, 2015 added a new sense to our perception of the Universe.

In the future, we will for the first time listen to the Universe.

Private rocket launch startup Rocket Lab has succeeded in launching its ‘Make It Rain’ mission, which took off yesterday from the company’s private Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. On board Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket (its seventh to launch so far) were multiple satellites flow for various clients in a rideshare arrangement brokered by Rocket Lab client Spaceflight.

Payloads for the launch included a satellite for Spaceflight subsidiary BlackSky, which will join its existing orbital imaging constellation. There was also a CubeSat operated by the Melbourne Space Program, and two Prometheus satellites launched for the U.Special Operations Command.

Rocket Lab had to delay launch a couple of times earlier in the week owing to suboptimal launch conditions, but yesterday’s mission went off without a hitch at 12:30 AM EDT/4:30 PM NZST. After successfully lifting off and achieving orbit, Rocket Lab’s Electron also deployed all of its payloads to their target orbits as planned.

NCSU scientists find antibiotic resistant Salmonella; new outbreak hits 62 people in US https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/06/ncsu-scientists-find-antibiotic-resistant-salmonella-new-outbreak-hits-62-people-in-us Mon, 01 Jul 2019 00:02:26 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/06/ncsu-scientists-find-antibiotic-resistant-salmonella-new-outbreak-hits-62-people-in-us

Researchers from North Carolina State University have found a gene that gives Salmonella resistance to antibiotics of last resort in a sample taken from a human patient in the U.S. The find is the first evidence that the gene mcr-3.1 has made its way into the U.S. from Asia.

The news comes as a new Salmonella outbreak has hit the US, leaving 62 people ill across eight states.

There are more than 2,500 known serotypes of Salmonella. In the U.S., Salmonella enterica 4,[5],12:i:- ST34 is responsible for a significant percentage of human illnesses. The drug resistance gene in question – known as mcr-3.1 – gives Salmonella resistance to colistin, the drug of last resort for treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant Salmonella.
