Are your memories real? Physicists revisit the Boltzmann brain paradox
Site: ScienceDaily
A new analysis of the āBoltzmann brainā paradox suggests our memories and sense of reality could, in theory, be random illusions born from cosmic chaos. By uncovering circular reasoning in how physicists think about time and entropy, the study raises fresh doubts about what we can truly know about the past.

Scientists built a memory chip that breaks the rules of miniaturization
Site: ScienceDaily
A new kind of memory device may finally solve the problem of overheating and battery drain in electronics. By shrinking components to an extreme scale and redesigning their structure, researchers found a way to reduce energy loss instead of increasing it. The result is a tiny memory unit that improves as it gets smallerāsomething once thought impossible. This could pave the way for ultra-efficient smartphones, wearables, and AI systems.

Elon Musk has responded to a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) that highlighted comments by Google CEO Sundar Pichai on the future of data centres. The post, shared by Peter H. Diamandis, executive chairman at XPRIZE, claimed that data centres in space could become āthe new normalā within a decade ā a view that Musk has spoken about in the past. Reacting to the post, Musk simply replied, ātrueā. The original post said: āSundar Pichai just said data centers in space will be 'the new normal' within a decade. @elonmusk has been saying this for yearsā.The post further stated: āWhen the CEO of Google starts agreeing with Elon, pay attention. The orbital compute era is closer than you think.āWhile Pichai has not detailed a specific timeline publicly in the same context, the idea of using space infrastructure for computing has been discussed more frequently as demand for data processing grows.What are space-based data centresThe concept of data centres in space involves placing computing infrastructure in orbit instead of on Earth. These systems could potentially use solar power directly and reduce the need for large land-based facilities. Supporters of the idea say it could help address issues such as energy consumption and cooling, which are major challenges for traditional data centres.However, the concept is still at an early stage and would require major advances in technology, cost reduction and infrastructure.Elon Muskās long-standing view on space-based data centresThis is not the first time when Musk has replied to Pichaiās space data centre plans. In an interview with Fox News last year, Sundar Pichai said that Google is working on quantum computing, adding āin that spirit, one of our moon shots is to, how do we one day have data centers in space so that we can better harness the energy from the sunā. Pichai further said that the company wants to āput these data centers in space closer to the sunā, and will take āfirst step in 2027ā.Elon Musk then replied to the post with a single word writing āInterestingā.Musk has previously spoken about using space for large-scale infrastructure, including satellites and computing systems. His company SpaceX has already launched thousands of satellites as part of its Starlink project.130711668

Sergey Brin reportedly confronted Newsom about leaving CA over wealth tax | Fox Business Added: May 3, 2026
Sergey Brin reportedly confronted Newsom about leaving CA over wealth tax | Fox Business
An exclusive holiday gathering just north of San Francisco reportedly turned into a stomach-churning fiscal nightmare for California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Back in December, Newsom and Google co-founder Sergey Brin attended the same "treehouse party" hosted by crypto investor Chris Larsen. It was there, according to a Bloomberg report, that Brin broke the news that he would be leaving the state in response to a proposed wealth tax. According to the report, it was a tense, private confrontation so jarring that Newsom reportedly complained about a "lingering cold" he attributed to the interaction for months afterward. Brin allegedly explicitly cited the Billionaire Tax Act, a 5% one-time excise tax on individuals with a net worth exceeding $1 billion, hitting his nearly $289 billion net worth hard. CALIFORNIANS FLEE HIGH COSTS — AND MANY COME OUT AHEAD FINANCIALLY, STUDY FINDS Just this week, the Service Employees International Union–United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW) said it has collected more than 1.55 million signatures, according to a press release, nearly double the 875,000-signature requirement, to put the one-time tax on billionaire assets on the California ballot this November. If the measure is approved by voters, anyone who was a California resident on Jan. 1, 2026, would owe the tax, according to the proposal. Brin effectively shielded his wealth from the retroactive reach of the proposed tax by buying properties in Nevada and Florida. He has also committed at least $45 million to a group called "Building A Better California" to fight the initiative, with his total spending to kill the tax already reaching $58 million this year. "I fled socialism with my family in 1979 and know the devastating, oppressive society it created in the Soviet Union. I don't want California to end up in the same place," Brin told The New York Times this week regarding a story by the outlet that discussed his move. Newsom has publicly opposed the billionaire tax, warning the measure would damage the economy and drive away investment. Since January, it’s estimated that more than $1 trillion in capital has left California. GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE "This is my fear," Newsom previously said in a Politico interview. "It’s just what I warned against. It’s happening." "The evidence is in. The impacts are very real — not just substantive economic impacts in terms of the revenue, but start-ups, the indirect impacts of … people questioning long-term commitments, medium-term commitments," he continued. "That’s not what we need right now, at a time of so much uncertainty. Quite the contrary." READ MORE FROM FOX BUSINESS
