Weaponising the Mind: Rethinking Trust in Times of Cognitive Warfare

🧠 Cognitive warfare is real and it’s here already.

That is why the Konrad Adenauer Foundation is putting the topic on the agenda at the Munich Security Conference.

From now on, the focus will be on the following key issues: ‱ Cognitive warfare as a security policy reality ‱ Resilience instead of alarmism ‱ Strategic advantage through the ability to act ‱ Protection of democratic decision-making processes.

Cognitive warfare is changing the logic of modern conflicts. It does not target infrastructure or territory, but rather perception, trust and decision-making ability, thereby blurring the line between war and peace.

What if void creates matter? this is no longer a philosophical question but an experimental reality. A landmark study published in Nature by the STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider of Brookhaven National Laboratory has, for the first time in history, directly observed virtual particles emerging from the quantum vacuum and becoming real matter. By colliding protons at 99% of the speed of light, scientists excited the quantum vacuum and tracked the precise moment transient quark-antiquark pairs materialized into measurable physical entities.
The experiment revealed something even more profound: particle pairs born from the void carry a measurable spin alignment, a direct signature of quantum entanglement inherited from the vacuum’s chiral condensate. This correlation had no other conceivable explanation than the particles having truly emerged from nothing. The implications extend far beyond particle physics: nearly 99% of the mass of everything that exists, including our own bodies, derives not from the Higgs mechanism, but from the incessant interaction between real quarks and the swarm of virtual particles that populate the quantum vacuum.
what if void creates matter reframes our understanding of reality at its deepest level. The boundary between being and non-being dissolves, revealing that “nothing” is an extraordinarily dense and generative condition. Quantum mechanics remains our most precise but still incomplete map of the universe, yet discoveries like this bring us closer to grasping a cosmos that, starting from the vacuum, generates the infinite.

ÎČ-hydroxybutyrate enhances the metabolic fitness of CAR T cells in cancer

Now online! ÎČ-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the ketone body associated with a ketogenic diet, metabolically reprograms and fuels CAR T cells to achieve proliferation, cytokine production, and superior tumor control. These findings suggest that BHB supplementation may be a practical way to boost adoptive cancer immunotherapy.

Within-Person Association Between Daily Screen Use and Sleep in Youth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

A meta-analysis found that on days with more screen use, youths went to bed slightly later but had no significant changes in total sleep time, sleep quality, or efficiency.

Question What is the within-person association between daily screen use and sleep in children and youth?

Findings In this systematic review and meta-analysis, daily screen use was significantly related to later sleep onset but was not significantly related to total sleep time, sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset, or subjective sleep quality.

Meaning When young people use screens, they may displace sleep when doing so; however, using screens more than usual is not necessarily detrimental to sleep.

Widely Used Procedure Does Not Curb Pancreatitis in Patients With Pancreas Divisum

In patients with unexplained acute recurrent pancreatitis who have pancreas divisum, the widely used procedure endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with minor papillotomy does not reduce the risk for more episodes of acute pancreatitis or protect against longer-term consequences, a new randomized, sham-controlled study concludes. The findings run contrary to long-held beliefs that have been based mostly on observational data.

Pivotal study shows no clear benefit for the common endoscopic procedure in this patient group. Experts say the new data could help avoid unnecessary cost and risk.

What existed before the Big Bang? Was it nothing
 or something far more disturbing?

In this video, we explore seven of the most profound and unsettling theories in modern cosmology. From Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, where the death of a previous universe becomes our beginning, to the idea that our entire cosmos emerged from a quantum fluctuation out of “nothing.” We dive into Loop Quantum Cosmology and the Big Bounce, brane collisions in higher dimensions, eternal inflation creating infinite bubble universes, a CPT-symmetric mirror anti-universe flowing backward in time, and finally the terrifying scale of the String Landscape and the multiverse.

These theories challenge everything we think we know about reality, time, and existence itself. If even one of them is correct, the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning — it was just one event in something far larger, stranger, and possibly eternal.

The universe may not have started. It may have restarted.

Researchers praise ‘stunning’ results of new prostate cancer treatment

A new drug for advanced prostate cancer has shown promise in early trials experts have said, with the medication shrinking tumours in some patients.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in many countries, including the US and UK. About 1.5 million men are diagnosed worldwide each year.

The new drug has caused excitement as it is a type of treatment called immunotherapy. This approach uses the body’s own immune system to fight disease, and has already proved beneficial for some cancers. However, experts note it has not yet had the same impact on prostate cancer.
