Do our biases affect the design of the solution?
False prejudices False prejudice occurs when we think that other people think and behave the same way as we do. Psychological researchers call this phenomenon the "false consensus effect." For example, product designers often use the product they are designing, which is why they begin to say: "I know how to do it better, because I am a user."

Luna 25 crashes and Russia's return to the moon is a disaster.
The Luna 25 spacecraft, designed to usher in a new era of space research, crashed into the Moon after entering an uncontrolled orbit, according to the Russian space agency Roscosmos. The catastrophe most likely reflects the error of rushing the mission to beat India's Chandrayaan-3 to the sought-after location. However, it's also Roscosmos' third significant setback since the invasion of Ukraine that prompted the imposition of sanctions.

The Direction of Time
The concept of time is an ever-present force that shapes our understanding of events unfolding in a sequence from the past through the present into the future. This linear framework for time is deeply ingrained in our perception and the way we experience the world around us. However, what underlies the unidirectional flow of time? Why does time move forward and not backward? These questions have puzzled physicists for decades, leading to intriguing insights into the relationship between time and the fundamental laws of the universe.

Phantom Shift- Limits of Our Vision
This is Part Five in a series. You can read Parts One, Two, Three, and Four here. 09:15 pm, Georgetown The sterile smell of latex and disinfectant hung in the air as the paramedics wheeled Alexis into the emergency room. She could smell it in her waking dream state. She could feel the gurney shake back and forth as it bumped its way down the hall. The world was black, her head was pounding, and her ears were ringing, but she was alive. Time was a flat circle again.

Astronomers confirm the faintest galaxy ever seen as we look back toward the Cosmic Dawn.
Our universe is transparent, with dazzling stars and galaxies shining against a pristine, pitch-black background. This, however, wasn't always the case because the universe's early history was veiled by a cloud of hydrogen atoms that blocked the light from the first stars and galaxies.

Hawking's Dire Prediction: Universe's Inevitable Evaporation Unveiled in New Study
A novel hypothesis has substantially revised Stephen Hawking's 1974 theory on black holes, proposing that all objects with mass might ultimately vanish. Stephen Hawking's renowned theory regarding black holes has received a grim update, asserting the inevitable evaporation of everything in the cosmos. In 1974, Hawking introduced the idea that black holes gradually dissipate through Hawking radiation, releasing energy in the form of light particles due to their potent gravitational pull. A recent alteration to this theory suggests that Hawking radiation isn't exclusive to black holes but extends to all objects possessing sufficient mass.
