Universe will die "much sooner than expected," new research says
The Universe May Die Sooner Than Expected, New Research Suggests In a revelation that challenges long-held beliefs about the fate of our cosmos, a new study has suggested that the universe could meet its end much sooner than scientists previously estimated. While the timeline is still far beyond any human lifespan—potentially billions of years in the future—the research significantly compresses the cosmic clock that governs the universe’s life cycle.

Trump's Controversial Push to Mine the Ocean Floor: A Resource War to Challenge China’s 80% Control
In a bold and contentious move, former U.S. President Donald Trump has declared a “resource war” aimed at tapping into the vast and largely unexploited resources of the ocean floor. The controversial move, outlined in an executive order, is set to expedite the process of deep-sea mining within U.S. and international waters. The primary goal behind this initiative is to break China’s stranglehold on the global supply chains of critical minerals, which are vital for numerous industries, including electronics, defense, and renewable energy technologies.

AI Governance Platforms: Ensuring Ethical AI Deployment in Modern Enterprises
Why Your Company Needs Guardrails Before the Algorithms Take Over In a world increasingly powered by artificial intelligence, one question looms large: Can we trust the AI we build? From customer service bots to algorithmic hiring tools, artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword — it’s embedded in the very fabric of modern business. Yet, with power comes risk. Bias, opacity, ethical lapses, and unregulated autonomy are just a few of the growing pains facing enterprise AI today.
