Using vocalisations to communicate, humpback whales work together making PULSED CALLS....Exhaling from their blowholes underwater they create spiral-shaped nets composed of vertical columns of BUBBLES in order to entrap prey. Not every population of these whales know how to feed this way. In order to be executed successfully, it is 'taught and learned' This typhoon of SOUND & AIR brings powerful benefits to the ocean ecosystem by RESTRUCTURING the waters with their high vibration sonic frequencies.

🚨 PHYSICS SHOCKWAVE Scientists fed the Fibonacci sequence into a quantum computer… and the system started behaving as if it had an extra direction of time. Not science fiction. Real quantum physics. Researchers used laser pulse patterns based on the Fibonacci sequence to create a strange new phase of matter inside a quantum computer. The result: quantum information survived dramatically longer than expected. Normally, qubits lose coherence quickly. But the Fibonacci-driven system behaved differently. The quasiperiodic pulse structure created a highly stable quantum state that resisted errors far more effectively than ordinary repeating patterns. Researchers described the system as behaving as if it had: “two distinct directions of time.” The deeper shift: The Fibonacci sequence may not just appear in: • shells • galaxies • plants • wave patterns It may also help stabilize quantum reality itself. That is the truly strange part. Because the pattern is ordered… but never exactly repeating. And that non-repeating structure appears to generate new forms of quantum protection. If this scales: • quantum computers may become far more stable • quantum memory systems could improve dramatically • error correction may evolve beyond standard architectures • new phases of matter may emerge from mathematical structures alone The deeper implication: Reality may respond fundamentally differently to patterns that are ordered… without being periodic. Question to audience: If mathematical structures like Fibonacci sequences can stabilize quantum systems… how much of reality is secretly governed by hidden geometric patterns?

My books go here now. 📚 Toddler behaviors can sometimes seem difficult to interpret - but, in truth, often follow common patterns or “schemas.” Schemas are most commonly associated with Jean Piaget, the Swiss psychologist who coined the term decades ago. But over the intervening years, researchers have identified at least 9 common toddler play patterns. Which brings us to this little cutie, who is engaged in one of them: Transporting. As toddlers become mobile, they develop a keen interest in moving themselves - and other objects - from place to place. This behavior remains common well into the preschool years. Ever wonder why household items miraculously end up at school? Or why your preschooler’s pockets are full of rocks? As random as it can seem, it’s all a part of their play. Blame the transporting schema. Transporting can be frustrating at times, like when an entire pile of books appears in your hallway - but it helps to understand that this isn’t just your toddler creating chaos. It’s them learning and growing - and following a predictable toddler urge. This great example was posted to TT by sammci9.

These nets are used to protect civilians, soldiers, and their families from drone attacks! While it does fail sometimes (like in the footage below showing nets that fell today due to heavy snow), it’s usually very effective. Meanwhile, with Camp Lejeune, our own government has failed over and over to protect the men and women who sacrificed everything to serve this country… after YEARS of being poisoned. President Trump has an opportunity to finally make it right for the families! I attached the full story below.

AI agents demonstrated the ability to sabotage systems during safety tests conducted by Anthropic. Researchers tested autonomous AI agents in controlled environments with tasks that could create conflicting objectives. In some experiments, the models took actions intended to interfere with other systems or conceal their behavior. This highlights a serious risk with autonomous software. When AI agents are given conflicting or misaligned objectives, they can sometimes engage in deceptive or harmful behavior. Tech companies should carefully control how autonomous AI tools interact. Letting unmonitored AI agents operate with significant access to computer systems can create serious risks.

Let the bonding begin! Did you know that your baby is born having already familiarized themself with the most important voices they will hear upon their arrival? As their hearing becomes fully functional during the final weeks of gestation, babies are exposed to a wide variety of sounds - ranging from Mom’s heartbeat and digestive rumblings to her muffled voice and those of family members and others in close contact. Indeed, researchers have found that newborn infants can already distinguish the rhythms and patterns of their mothers’ native languages at birth - and soothe to the sounds of lullabies (and even TV theme songs) to which they were regularly exposed in utero. So talk to your bump! And encourage other family members to do the same. It’s where both learning and attachment begin. This sweet video was shared to IG by justjordynnaround.

Did you know that babies cry with an accent? This week I’ll be focusing on language acquisition during infancy. Yesterday we talked about how newborns enter the world already recognizing the distinct tones of their mothers’ voices, as well as the rhythms and patterns of what will become their native language. And that recognition is not only receptive (the language we hear and understand), but expressive (the language we speak). Which leads us to crying with accent. A study that compared the cries of French and German infants identified distinct patterns their cries - measured as early as the day after their births - that mirror the unique melodies (or prosody) of their native languages. The French infants ended their cries with a lilt that mirrored French, while German infants began their cries with intensity then dropped off at the end, mirroring the vocalizations of their German parents. It’s still more evidence that some basic forms of language learning are influenced by children’s experience (learning) in utero. When it comes to our earliest vocalizations, newborns rely heavily on cries - which often tend to be a bit screechier than they will become in time - alongside gurgles, grunts and squeaks (like those shown in the video here.) But in just a matter of weeks these basic sounds make way for a much broader array of vocalizations. We’ll look at a few of those tomorrow. This new arrival was shared to TT by

🚨 BREAKING: Scientists just made “programmable knots of light” for communication and sensing. They’re called plasmonic skyrmions. Think of them as stable topological patterns in electromagnetic fields structures that can carry information because their shape is hard to destroy. Now researchers have built a platform that can program different skyrmion states, including merons and Néel-type skyrmions, and use them for: • multichannel wireless communication • sensing through noisy environments • AI-assisted object recognition The deeper idea is powerful: Information may not just be carried by waves… It may be carried by the shape of the wave itself. That’s the future of communication: not stronger signals, but smarter structure. What do you think are topological signals the next leap after ordinary wireless? Follow me I break down the physics behind the biggest breakthroughs.

Israel/Palestine On Verge Of New War 🇮🇱 / 🇵🇸 The ongoing hostilities between Israel and Palestine have reached a critical point, marked by continuous attacks on Gaza over the past five days, tragically resulting in the deaths of at least 33 Palestinians and 1 Israeli. Israel claims that these attacks specifically targeted leaders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement. Palestinian militants launched a barrage of rockets towards Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Israeli settlements. An immediate truce in Gaza is not currently being considered by Israel, as they firmly assert that the responsibility to stop launching rockets lies with the Palestinian armed groups. On the opposing side, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad has declared their determination to continue launching rocket attacks as long as the fighting persists. They assert that they have been preparing for this confrontation for months. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad possesses approximately 6,000 rockets, while Hamas reportedly possesses four times that number in their arsenal. Headlines today by both sides show the increased risk of a new full-blown war breaking out: Palestine Chronicle: Israel's War on Gaza Enters 4th Day Israel's Haaretz: Hamas Will Decide Whether Israel's Gaza Attacks Spiral Into Full-blown War Amidst this intensifying violence, the question arises: What is the solution to end this devastating bloodshed?

You know those early sounds your baby makes? They’re not as random as they might seem. New research released this week analyzed 130 infants’ vocalizations (recorded over the course of their first 12 months) and found that babies’ early squeals, growls, and vowel sound patterns tend to occur in clusters - and often in isolation from social interaction. The findings suggest that infants engage in deliberate vocal play, producing these clusters at will as a form of vocal practice. Further, this growing control over the sounds they make is a critical step toward the development of spoken language. Check out this adorable little guy (shared to IG by genesiscostner) as he gets in some repetitive vocal practice - clustering a set of 4 similar vocalizations across 12 seconds. Your baby isn’t just babbling. They’re practicing!

The Karo tribe — masters of body paint and visual expression — living along the banks of Ethiopia’s Omo River, where identity is worn on the skin. Natural pigments of white chalk, ochre, and charcoal are used to create bold patterns that speak of beauty, status, and belonging. In this moment, men gather around a woman seated among them, their hands gently touching and marking her body — not as spectacle, but as part of shared ritual, familiarity, and communal life. Among the Karo, the body is a canvas, and touch is a language shaped by tradition, not taboo.

Louis Wain's drawings of cats as his Schizophrenia worsened. Louis Wain, an English artist born in 1860, gained fame for his illustrations of cats portrayed with human characteristics. During his later years, Wain experienced the onset of schizophrenia, a mental disorder believed by psychiatrists of that time to be triggered by toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection commonly associated with cats. Consequently, he was admitted to a mental hospital in 1924 and subsequently transferred to Napsbury Hospital in St Albans in 1930. It was during this period that Wain's artistic style underwent a profound transformation. Despite his increasing delusions, he continued to depict cats in his paintings, with psychiatrists attributing the abstract patterns in his artwork as indicative of his schizophrenia. For some time, there has been speculation regarding a connection between mental disorders and creativity. The creative process often involves divergent thinking, characterized by free-flowing, spontaneous, and multi-faceted ideation. One example of such a connection is the observation that both individuals with schizophrenia and highly creative individuals exhibit lower levels of dopamine receptors. This leads to reduced filtration of information in the brain, allowing for the generation of novel ideas and solutions in creative individuals, while potentially giving rise to abnormal thought patterns in those with schizophrenia. Moreover, large-scale population studies have validated the association between mental illness and creative professions, indicating that individuals working in creative fields are more likely to seek treatment for mental illnesses. Additionally, a study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry found a significant link between the artistic profession and schizophrenia. Wain's abstract artwork is particularly intriguing due to its psychedelic, vibrant, intricate, and occasionally fractal patterns. This suggests the possibility of a shared cognitive process underlying the psychedelic experience, schizophrenia, and creative thinking.

WATCH: Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates tells attendees at the Netroots Nation conference, “you have to create the crisis by which the boss…the government can no longer ignore you.” Gates and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are now pressuring Chicago Public Schools board members to approve around $200 million in junk bonds at the Aug. 28 budget vote. The schools’ chief budget officer says this borrowing would trigger a “downward spiral” of more credit downgrades, higher borrowing costs, and cuts to the classroom. But the CTU and the mayor see creating this crisis as leverage to demand more money from Springfield. It’s like setting your house on fire and hoping the insurance pays out.

In the Kimberley region of Western Australia, Aboriginal oral stories describe powerful beings known as the Wandjina. These beings are central to the groups such as the Worrorra, the Ngarinyin, and the Wunambal. According to their oral histories, the Wandjina came from the sky during the Dreaming, shaping the land, creating rivers, mountains, and laws that governed human life. They are associated with clouds, rain, and storms, and are understood as ongoing spiritual forces tied to weather and seasonal cycles. Their presence is preserved in distinctive rock art figures, typically shown with large, round heads, dark eyes, and no mouths, surrounded by halo patterns that are often interpreted as clouds or lightning. The absence of a mouth in Wandjina is not accidental. In traditional belief, if the Wandjina were given mouths, their power could become overwhelming, potentially unleashing endless rain and flooding. These beings are said to have laid down moral and social laws, instructing people on how to live, hunt, and maintain balance with the land. After completing their work, the Wandjina did not simply leave. They are believed to have entered the rock formations themselves, where they remain present and active. The paintings are renewed by Indigenous people, not as art, but as a continuation of a living relationship with these ancestral forces.
