A new warning sign just flashed for anyone paying attention to the rapid, coordinated shift toward synthetic “meat” and “dairy” as the global food supply is about to be flooded with a disturbing new product.

Beginning early next year, a new product will hit supermarket shelves that looks like milk, pours like milk, and is marketed as “real dairy” but was never touched by a cow.

The product, created by Israeli startup Remilk, is a fully lab-produced “milk” manufactured using genetically engineered microbes.

According to The Times of Israel, Remilk has partnered with Gad Dairies to launch two variants: 3% fat “milk” and a vanilla-flavored version under the brand New Milk.

Scientists have discovered a new time crystal that changes everything we know about time |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Every so often, physics delivers a discovery that feels as if it has stepped straight out of science fiction. The latest breakthrough is exactly that. Scientists have revealed a new kind of time crystal, an exotic phase of matter that repeats its structure not only in space but in time. Unlike ordinary crystals such as diamonds or salt, which arrange their atoms in fixed repeating patterns, a time crystal oscillates in a stable rhythm all on its own.

Now researchers have taken this concept a step further by uncovering a time crystal that behaves in an entirely unexpected way, challenging long-held assumptions about order, motion and the nature of time itself.A peer-reviewed study published in Nature Materials explains how time crystals can break both spatial and temporal symmetries, creating stable patterns that persist even under continuous disturbance.

This research provides the theoretical backbone for the newly reported discovery, which introduces a time crystal with a structured but non-repeating temporal pattern. Instead of ticking like a perfectly predictable clock, it displays a rhythm that shifts, evolves and yet remains ordered over long time periods. This opens an entirely new frontier in understanding how matter can organise itself across time.

Astronomers Spot “First Stars” Billions of Years After They Were Supposed to Die– www.universetoday.com

Over the course of billions of years, the universe has steadily been evolving. Thanks to the expansion of the universe, we are able to “see” back in time to watch that evolution, almost from the beginning. But every once in a while we see something that doesn’t fit into our current understanding of how the universe should operate. That’s the case for a galaxy described in a new paper by PhD student Sijia Cai of Tsinghua University’s Department of Astronomy and their colleagues. They found a galaxy formed around 11 billion years ago that appears to be “metal-free”, indicating that it might contain a set of elusive first generation (Pop III) stars.

Before we get into the discovery itself, some context is necessary. Population III (Pop III) stars are considered to be the first generation of stars that formed early in the universe’s history. Importantly, they have essentially no “metal”, which cosmological terms means any element other than helium and hydrogen. Since those heavier elements can only be formed in stars themselves (or in the supernovae they create), by definition the first generation of stars can’t contain them.

“AI-powered digital twins mark a major evolution in the future of manufacturing, enabling real-time visualization of the entire production line, not just individual machines,” says Indranil Sircar, global chief technology officer for the manufacturing and mobility industry at Microsoft. “This is allowing manufacturers to move beyond isolated monitoring toward much wider insights.”

A digital twin of a bottling line, for example, can integrate one-dimensional shop-floor telemetry, two-dimensional enterprise data, and three-dimensional immersive modeling into a single operational view of the entire production line to improve efficiency and reduce costly downtime. Many high-speed industries face downtime rates as high as 40%, estimates Jon Sobel, co-founder and chief executive officer of Sight Machine, an industrial AI company that partners with Microsoft and NVIDIA to transform complex data into actionable insights. By tracking micro-stops and quality metrics via digital twins, companies can target improvements and adjustments with greater precision, saving millions in once-lost productivity without disrupting ongoing operations.

The Case for Treating Drones as Ammunition– warontherocks.com

Ukraine burns through small drones like belts of ammunition — fed, fired, and reloaded. Piloted from behind the front lines, drones hunt on the battlefield. This summer, Ukraine’s drone production increased 900 percent to 200,000 per month from 20,000 the previous year. Costs, too, are ammunition-like: reconnaissance and first-person view drones cost in the low thousands, akin to 120mm mortar rounds and far cheaper than a $200,000 Javelin anti-tank missile. Despite limits to drone performance, the United States will certainly need more drones than it has now. Acquiring, maintaining, accounting for, and delivering drones exceeds what the U.S. Army’s supply system can do.

New Research Shows How AI Could Transform Math, Physics, Cancer Research, and More– www.scientificamerican.com

A new report from OpenAI and a group of outside scientists shows how GPT-5, the company’s latest AI large language model (LLM), can help with research from black holes to cancer‑fighting cells to math puzzles.

Each chapter in the paper offers case studies: a mathematician or a physicist stuck in a quandary, a doctor trying to confirm a lab result. They all ask GPT-5 for help. Sometimes the LLM gets things wrong. Sometimes it finds a faster route to an already known result. But other times, with careful human guidance, it helps push the boundaries of what was previously known.

In one experiment involving how waves behave around black holes, GPT-5 worked through the math to independently produce results that had previously been shown to be correct, showing it was capable of doing this level of scientific calculation. In another project involving nuclear fusion, GPT-5 developed a model that accelerated the research.

While much of the history of life on Earth is written, the opening chapters are murky at best. On our ever-changing world, the older a rock is, the more it has changed, obscuring or even erasing evidence of ancient life. Beyond a hazy boundary of circa two billion years, in fact, this interference is so total that no pristine, unaltered Earth rocks are known to exist, making any potential sign of biology as clear as mud.

At least until now. In a study published on November 17 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a group of researchers say they’ve leveraged artificial intelligence to follow life’s trail further back in time than ever before, using machine learning to distinguish the echoes of biology from mere abiotic organic molecules in rocks as old as 3.3 billion years.

The results could more than double how far back in time scientists can convincingly claim to discern molecular signs of life in ancient rocks, the study authors say, citing previous record-setting measurements involving 1.6-billion-year-old rocks.

NASA warns of a growing South Atlantic Anomaly weakening Earth’s magnetic shield |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Earth’s magnetic field acts like a protective cocoon, shielding the planet from harmful charged particles racing in from the Sun and deep space. But over the South Atlantic, that shield has developed an unusually weak patch known as the South Atlantic Anomaly. Recent observations show that this anomaly is not only expanding but also shifting, raising concerns for satellites, spacecraft and scientific instruments that pass through the region. While everyday life on the ground remains unaffected, the anomaly’s rapid evolution is prompting NASA researchers to issue stronger warnings and step up monitoring.

Victor Davis Hanson Says Gavin Newsom ‘Lost The Narrative’ On Left’s Sacred Cow– dailycaller.com

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson said on Fox News Thursday evening that Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom “lost the narrative” on climate change as many people continue to distance themselves from the “green” movement.

Newsom, widely considered a frontrunner to win the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, attended the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Brazil, where he called President Donald Trump an “invasive species.” The conference kicked off Monday. Hanson said Newsom and his allies who support strict regulations to combat climate change increasingly find themselves in the minority.

“I think Gavin Newsom is a reactionary. They have lost the narrative. The world has passed them by,” Hanson told host Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle.”

US could lose its measles elimination status within months, experts say– www.livescience.com

The United States may lose its measles elimination status as soon as January, marking the sustained resurgence of a disease that had been eliminated from the country 25 years ago.

On Nov. 10, Canada lost its measles elimination status, after the Pan American Health Organization concluded that the country’s recent measles outbreaks were connected and represented ongoing transmission lasting more than 12 months. Measles is considered eliminated in a country or region only when there are no outbreaks lasting longer than a year. Thus, to maintain “elimination status,” any introductions of the disease from travel must be quashed before 12 consecutive months of spread.

The term “smart city” fails to fully capture the integrated data system that is the Pudong New Area of Shanghai.  Chinese authorities call it the “city brain,” a centrally controlled A.I. center that surveils and manages the city and its inhabitants.  It offers a disturbing preview of future urban governance, built on a previously unimaginable level of monitoring and control.  Since 2017, this system has linked hundreds of government databases to tens of thousands of sensors, effectively turning an entire urban district into a single, real-time data object.

Officials defend the surveillance for its tangible rewards: cleaner neighborhoods, faster emergency response, smoother traffic, and better protection for isolated seniors.  Those benefits help explain why many citizens accept the system.  But the costs are equally real.  It normalizes penetrating, constant visibility, the steady expansion of behavior-based penalties, and an infrastructure that is also used for political and social control.

Man Hospitalized With Bird Flu Strain Never Seen Before In Humans, Report Claims– wltreport.com

A Washington state man is “severely ill” after contracting a strain of bird flu never seen before in humans, the New York Post reports.

The outlet claims the man was hospitalized after exhibiting symptoms such as confusion, high fever, and respiratory distress.

According to the outlet, the man was infected with H5N5, a “subtype of avian influenza carried by wild birds like ducks and geese.”

More from the New York Post:

The Washington State Department of Health described the unidentified patient as being “older” and having “underlying health conditions.”

The agency noted that the man has a “mixed backyard flock of domestic poultry” at his home in Grays Harbor County, on the southwest Pacific coast of the state.

Two of the birds recently died, the Washington Post reported.

Wild birds could also access the property, with agency officials believing that either set of birds is “most likely” the source of the virus exposure.

The man remained hospitalized as of last week while the investigation continues.

At the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), one competitor did so well that it would have been awarded the Silver Prize, except for one thing: it was an AI system. This was the first time AI had achieved a medal-level performance in the competition’s history. In a paper published in the journal Nature, researchers detail the technology behind this remarkable achievement.

The AI is AlphaProof, a sophisticated program developed by Google DeepMind that learns to solve complex mathematical problems. The achievement at the IMO was impressive enough, but what really makes AlphaProof special is its ability to find and correct errors. While large language models (LLMs) can solve math problems, they often can’t guarantee the accuracy of their solutions. There may be hidden flaws in their reasoning.

Magnetic storm that lasted for almost two days stopped on Earth — forecaster – Science & Space– tass.com

MOSCOW, November 14. /TASS/. The magnetic storm that raged on Earth for about two days has stopped, Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos Weather center, said on Telegram.

“The magnetic storm that raged on Earth for almost two days has stopped. It ended late last Thursday evening, and for more than six hours the geomagnetic field has been in the ‘green’ zone,” he said.

The forecaster noted that in the coming hours, there may be disturbances in the magnetosphere until the middle of the day, but they most likely will not reach the level of a magnetic storm. According to him, the disturbances will stop in the afternoon.

“A period of a relatively calm geomagnetic field will last at least until the end of this week,” Leus said.

EU Bans Large Cash Payments

pgnewser November 12, 2025 1

The European Union (EU) will ban all cash purchases over $10,000 beginning in January 2027. This draconian change was not made through legislation that was debated and voted on, it was created through regulation. Unelected EU bureaucrats simply chose to make the change, claiming it is purely to target criminals.

In addition to that, new laws already passed will soon require anyone using or holding cryptocurrency to do so through a digital ID system, assuring no anonymity in the transaction of value between humans. By 2029, the EU plans on rolling out their digital currency, which they intend on replacing physical currency. Digital currency turbo-charge governments’ ability to control transactions, create instant “magic value,” and micromanage the currency markets.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has just given a huge boost to California’s plan to continue building one of the most expansive digital verification regimes in the country.

The appeals court refused to rehear NetChoice v. Bonta, leaving in place a ruling that allows California to advance a system critics warn could become a statewide online digital ID requirement.

The court’s decision keeps intact most of Senate Bill 976, the Protecting Our Kids from Social Media Addiction Act.

The bill was signed by Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom in September 2024.

The law forces social media companies to implement “age assurance” systems to determine whether users are adults or minors.
