Mumbai, Maharashtra: Researcher Syed Shamir Hussain presented documents and artifacts related to the Trishul of Lord Shiva and the Vajra of Lord Indra, described as ancient symbols associated with Sanatan Dharma. These artifacts are reportedly around 10,000 years old and were discovered during excavations in the Philippines. If these findings are validated through rigorous archaeological and scientific study, they could suggest that symbols and ideas connected to Sanatan Dharma existed and possibly spread far beyond the Indian subcontinent thousands of years ago. For a long time, civilizations such as Ancient Egypt (around 3100 BCE, roughly 5,000 years old) and Mesopotamia (around 3500 BCE, about 5,500 years old) have been widely considered among the oldest known civilizations. However, if discoveries linked to Sanatan Dharma date back 8,000–10,000 years or more, it would indicate that these traditions were already well developed thousands of years before many other recorded civilizations fully emerged. Many researchers also argue that the ancient history of the Indian subcontinent has not yet been explored or documented as extensively as it should be. Continued research, excavations, and scientific analysis may reveal that early societies connected with Sanatan traditions had already developed knowledge in areas such as metallurgy, symbolism, art, philosophy, and organized social systems at a very early stage in human history.

In a museum in China, a Muslim man slaps a statue of an ancient warrior and says, “It is lifeless and cannot speak,” while also reciting verses related to breaking idols. The statue is being insulted simply because it does not align with someone’s religious beliefs, and because some people view such a statue as “shirk.” The destruction of the ancient Buddha statues in Bamiyan is also an example of this kind of extremist mindset.

Cornell engineers have developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes, and adapts to its environment without centralized control. The system, called the Cross-Link Collective, consists of dozens of small robots that have limited mobility individually, but together exhibit coordinated and sustained motion. The research, published May 20 in Science Robotics, demonstrates a robotic system that resembles soft matter, continuously deforming and reorganizing as it moves, driven by what researchers call mechanical intelligence.

Fighter jet pilot demonstrates centripetal force, a concept that Isaac Newton discovered between 1676 and 1677. However, the concept of centripetal force was not actually discovered in a single event or by a single individual but rather evolved over time through the works of multiple scientists and thinkers. Here is a brief history of the development of our understanding of centripetal force: Ancient Greece: The ancient Greeks, particularly philosophers such as Aristotle and later Archimedes, made observations and formulated theories about the motion of objects. However, they did not have a clear understanding of centripetal force as a distinct concept. Islamic Scholars: During the Islamic Golden Age, scholars such as Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Ibn Bajjah (Avempace) made significant contributions to the understanding of motion. They discussed the idea of impetus, a precursor to the concept of centripetal force. Johannes Kepler: In the 17th century, Johannes Kepler, a German astronomer and mathematician, formulated his laws of planetary motion. Kepler's laws described the motion of planets around the sun and the concept of elliptical orbits. Although Kepler did not explicitly mention centripetal force, his work laid the foundation for later developments. Isaac Newton: In the late 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton, an English physicist and mathematician, published his groundbreaking work, "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" (also known as the Principia). In this work, Newton presented his laws of motion and the universal law of gravitation. Newton's laws, particularly the second law of motion, provided a mathematical understanding of centripetal force. He demonstrated that an object moving in a curved path experiences an inward force acting towards the center of the curve, which is now known as centripetal force. Further Developments: Following Newton's work, subsequent scientists, such as Jean le Rond d'Alembert and Daniel Bernoulli, expanded on the understanding of centripetal force in the context of mechanics and fluid dynamics. It's important to note that the discovery and understanding of centripetal force were gradual processes that involved the contributions of numerous individuals over centuries. The concept became firmly established with the development of Newtonian physics and its laws of motion.

🎥: arcanaarms Nothing beats the sheer engineering genius of a John Browning design—over a century later and the M1919 platform is still an absolute masterpiece of mechanical reliability. The way short-recoil operation handles belt-fed cycling with that iconic air-cooled shroud is pure poetry in motion. You can throw modern tech at firearms all day, but nothing runs as rock-solid and satisfyingly smooth as this classic spade-grip monster. Absolute living legend of a weapon!

WalkTheDog Cross-Morphology Motion Alignment via Phase Manifolds We present a new approach for understanding the periodicity structure and semantics of motion datasets, independently of the morphology and skeletal structure of characters. Unlike existing methods using an overly sparse high-dimensional latent, we propose a phase manifold consisting of multiple closed curves, each corresponding to a latent amplitude. With our proposed vector quantized periodic autoencoder, we learn a shared phase manifold for multiple characters, such as a human and a dog, without any supervision. This is achieved by exploiting the discrete structure and a shallow network as bottlenecks, such that semantically similar motions are clustered into the same curve of the manifold, and the motions within the same component are aligned temporally by the phase variable. In combination with an improved motion matching framework, we demonstrate the manifold's capability of timing and semantics alignment in several applications, including motion retrieval, transfer and stylization.

The Hidden Language of Diffusion Models paper page: tackle the challenge of understanding concept representations in text-to-image models by decomposing an input text prompt into a small set of interpretable elements. This is achieved by learning a pseudo-token that is a sparse weighted combination of tokens from the model's vocabulary, with the objective of reconstructing the images generated for the given concept. Applied over the state-of-the-art Stable Diffusion model, this decomposition reveals non-trivial and surprising structures in the representations of concepts. For example, we find that some concepts such as "a president" or "a composer" are dominated by specific instances (e.g., "Obama", "Biden") and their interpolations. Other concepts, such as "happiness" combine associated terms that can be concrete ("family", "laughter") or abstract ("friendship", "emotion"). In addition to peering into the inner workings of Stable Diffusion, our method also enables applications such as single-image decomposition to tokens, bias detection and mitigation, and semantic image manipulation

This is Shanghai. In terms of quality of life, China has pretty much caught up with developed countries, especially in areas like abundance of food, consumer goods and leisure industries. Some things are lagging slightly, such as access to completely free healthcare. Another is the quality or specifically the size of housing. As car ownership proliferates, and smaller townships outside of large cities develop, more and more middle class Chinese will choose these type of suburban life over apartments. Which means there will be another real estate boom, how soon and how big depends on the relevant policies.

Appeal for the Protection of Balochistan’s Ancient Historical Heritage Independent Republic of Balochistan: 22 August, 2026 Balochistan has been blessed by nature not only with vast seas, immense mineral resources, and a highly strategic geographical location, but also with the honour of being one of the important centres of some of humanity’s oldest civilizations. Mehrgarh, the Indus Valley Civilization, and other ancient archaeological sites stand as living evidence of the thousands of years of Balochistan’s human, cultural, and civilizational history. Earlier this month, a large quantity of valuable ancient artefacts was discovered in Dera Bugti during excavations by local people, while just yesterday, local Baloch people in the oil and mineral rich region of the Kohlu District (Kohlu, Kahan of Kohistan Marri region is known the richest region of entire Balochistan. These discoveries have once again drawn the world’s attention to the deep and ancient civilizational history of Balochistan. Where is Kohlu? It is believed that It has more oil than Venezuela and Iran) also discovered ancient artefacts and archaeological remains. Kohlu is the hometown of Baloch nationalist leader Hyrbyair Marri HYRBYAIR MARRI the son of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri. Former army chief Gen. Pervez Musharraf offered billion royalty to the Nawab Marri and Hyrbyair Marri to allow Pakistan for oil, gas, gold, critical minerals exploration but both the leaders refused to allow Pakistani military to extract the Baloch resources. These artefacts are not merely old objects; they are living documents of Balochistan’s past. Every seal, vessel, ornament, tool, sculpture, or other ancient object preserves the story of an era from which valuable knowledge can be gained about human society, trade, art, religion, ways of life, and the evolution of civilization. Scientific research into these remains can contribute not only to understanding Balochistan but also to understanding the shared history of all humanity. It is a great honour for Balochistan that its land has preserved such ancient civilizations and historical heritage. The Republic of Balochistan appeals to all international institutions, archaeologists, historians, museums, and organizations working to preserve ancient civilizations, Mehrgarh, the Indus Valley Civilization, and human history to play their role in protecting Balochistan’s historical heritage. Balochistan urgently needs international attention and cooperation so that these precious artefacts can be preserved, documented, and made available for scientific research, while protecting them from illegal transfer, destruction, or loss. We are also deeply concerned that if this historical heritage falls into the hands rogue state of Pakistan who seek to erase Balochistan’s history, language, and culture rather than preserve them, these artefacts could also suffer irreparable damage. In the context of reports of destruction and pressure involving educational and cultural institutions, libraries, and materials related to Baloch history and culture in Balochistan, as well as actions against students, teachers, professors, and individuals conducting research on history, serious international concern is necessary regarding the protection of these ancient remains. This is not only a time to rediscover the past, but also to protect it. These archaeological remains are not merely the heritage of the Baloch people; they are part of the shared civilizational heritage of all humanity. The world must take immediate steps to protect Balochistan’s ancient historical heritage, provide experts with opportunities for research and documentation, and ensure that these rare testimonies of thousands of years of human history do not become victims of Pakistan's state terrorism, war, neglect, illegal trade, or any form of destruction. Balochistan wishes to preserve and present this magnificent heritage of its land to the world with dignity, so that future generations may also see, understand, and take pride in their ancient history.

Cams ARE the original "programmable" automation - these mechanical marvels orchestrate complex sequences without a single line of code. By carefully profiling cam shapes, engineers encode timing, positioning, and sequencing directly into metal. What makes cams brilliant for automation: - Deterministic timing - no software, no edge cases - Self-synchronising - no syncing clocks of different systems - Incredibly durable - cam-driven machines run for decades - Simple maintenance - mechanics can "read" the program by looking at cam profiles The cam followers, springs, and linkages in machines like this execute intricate routines - bending, cutting, feeding, and positioning with clockwork precision. Each bump and valley on those rotating cams tells a different part of the machine exactly when to move. With all the dancing robots, we sometimes forget how high-tech old-school automation is.

Vimanas are described in ancient Indian texts as highly advanced aerial craft, capable of vertical ascent, sustained hovering, and interplanetary travel. Far from primitive myth, these vehicles are depicted as engineered machines—metallic, luminous, and powered by forces unknown to modern science. In epics such as the Mahabharata, vimanas are used by god-like beings in warfare, reconnaissance, and long-distance travel, demonstrating flight capabilities that rival or exceed modern aerospace technology. These accounts describe craft that emitted intense light, thunderous vibrations, and devastating energy-based weapons, suggesting the use of advanced propulsion systems and directed-energy technology. Rather than symbolic chariots of imagination, some researchers propose that these descriptions may represent ancient eyewitness accounts of technologically superior beings—often associated with the Anunnaki—who possessed knowledge of gravity control, advanced materials, and cosmic navigation. From this perspective, vimanas may not be mythological at all, but remnants of suppressed or lost technological knowledge, preserved through symbolic language after civilizations collapsed. The so-called “gods” of antiquity may have been advanced non-human or off-world intelligences whose technology was later deified, misunderstood, or deliberately encoded into sacred texts to survive the passage of time. What remains is a tantalizing blueprint of an ancient, forgotten age—one in which humanity may have once shared the skies with beings far more advanced than we are today.

This is the mechanical heart of every flight deck. At the core of this instrument is a high-speed mechanical gyroscope held within a series of gimbals. It relies on the physics of rigidity in space, meaning the spinning disc stays perfectly aligned with the Earth's horizon regardless of how the aircraft moves around it. When you see the outer casing tilt and dive, you are actually watching the plane move while the instrument stays perfectly still. For decades, this was the primary way pilots survived flying through thick cloud cover or at night. Without a visible horizon, the human brain can easily become disoriented, leading to a deadly condition called the graveyard spin. This device provides an objective visual reference that never fails, even if the entire electrical system of the plane goes dark. While modern airliners have transitioned to digital screens and solid-state sensors, these analog units remain critical. Many pilots still prefer them as a fail-safe backup because they operate on pure physics rather than software. It is a masterclass in engineering that remains just as relevant in the age of automation as it was eighty years ago. It is a timeless piece of safety technology.

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST FOUND AN ANCIENT OCEAN FLOOR WRAPPED AROUND EARTH’S CORE. Using seismic waves recorded by stations buried in Antarctic ice, researchers have created the highest-resolution map yet of the boundary between Earth’s mantle and outer core nearly 3,000 km beneath our feet. They discovered thin but widespread patches of dense material that dramatically slow down seismic waves. The most likely explanation: these are fragments of ancient oceanic crust that sank into the deep mantle long ago and have been moved around by convection currents for hundreds of millions of years. In some places, these structures rise up to five times higher than Mount Everest. Why this matters: • It reveals that Earth’s deep interior is far more complex and dynamic than we thought • These patches likely influence how heat flows from the core into the mantle, which affects mantle convection and volcanic activity • They may also play a role in the behavior of Earth’s magnetic field, which is generated in the outer core • Understanding this boundary helps us better model how our planet has evolved over billions of years The deeper implication: We usually think of the deep Earth as relatively simple layers. This research shows that the core-mantle boundary is more like a rugged, geologically active landscape with ancient “mountains” made of recycled ocean floor. It’s a powerful reminder that Earth is a single, interconnected system what happens at the surface (like plate tectonics) can eventually end up reshaping the deepest parts of our planet, and vice versa. We’re still only beginning to map the true complexity hidden beneath our feet. How do you think discovering ancient ocean crust at the core-mantle boundary changes the way we should think about Earth’s internal dynamics?

Facial reconstruction of a Merethic Era Atmoran from Saarthal Founded by Ysgramor, Saarthal was the first city of the Atmorans, who would later be known as Nords. After their arrival, the Atmorans lived peacefully with the local Falmer. However, fearing that the Atmoran expansion would surpass their own, the Falmer destroyed the city, and only Ysgramor and his two sons escaped the carnage. The destruction of the city was later avenged when Ysgramor returned with his famed warriors, the Five Hundred Companions. Several expeditions have been carried out by archaeologists from the College of Winterhold to study the ancient ruins of Saarthal. During these excavations, several cranial series were uncovered. Anthropologists from the College of Winterhold have noted increased hypermorphy in the ancient Atmorans relative to their modern Nord descendants, including larger brow ridges, much larger teeth, very wide bigonial and bicondylar widths, wider and taller faces, a more archaic low orbital shape, more defined upper facial relief, slightly wider nasal apertures, and slightly weaker chin protrusion. The skulls were predominantly dolichocephalic and very thick, but interestingly had relatively small mastoid processes. Later morphogenetic processes, including admixture with the Mer, and environmental factors such as a more agriculture-based lifestyle, played a role in the gracilization of the Atmorans. Among modern cranial series, the Nords of the Pale, Winterhold, and northern Eastmarch cluster closest to the Atmorans of Saarthal, along with some cranial series from Colovia. The reconstructed man, about 40 years old, stood around 190 cm tall and was massively built. He was found in the lower layers of Saarthal along with some Ancient Nord gear, including a full set of ancient Nord armor, an ancient Nord sword and an ancient Nord amulet with a One-Handed enchantment.

Facial reconstruction of a Merethic Era Atmoran from Saarthal Founded by Ysgramor, Saarthal was the first city of the Atmorans, who would later be known as Nords. After their arrival, the Atmorans lived peacefully with the local Falmer. However, fearing that the Atmoran expansion would surpass their own, the Falmer destroyed the city, and only Ysgramor and his two sons escaped the carnage. The destruction of the city was later avenged when Ysgramor returned with his famed warriors, the Five Hundred Companions. Several expeditions have been carried out by archaeologists from the College of Winterhold to study the ancient ruins of Saarthal. During these excavations, several cranial series were uncovered. Anthropologists from the College of Winterhold have noted increased hypermorphy in the ancient Atmorans relative to their modern Nord descendants, including larger brow ridges, much larger teeth, very wide bigonial and bicondylar widths, wider and taller faces, a more archaic low orbital shape, more defined upper facial relief, slightly wider nasal apertures, and slightly weaker chin protrusion. The skulls were predominantly dolichocephalic and very thick, but interestingly had relatively small mastoid processes. Later morphogenetic processes, including admixture with the Mer, and environmental factors such as a more agriculture-based lifestyle, played a role in the gracilization of the Atmorans. Among modern cranial series, the Nords of the Pale, Winterhold, and northern Eastmarch cluster closest to the Atmorans of Saarthal, along with some cranial series from Colovia. The reconstructed man, about 40 years old, stood around 190 cm tall and was massively built. He was found in the lower layers of Saarthal along with some Ancient Nord gear, including a full set of ancient Nord armor, an ancient Nord sword and an ancient Nord amulet with a One-Handed enchantment. Postcranial data shows magicka-related trauma, which was likely the cause of his demise.

How the 🆅🅴🅽🆃🆁🅸🅲🅻🅴 contracts.. . . . 💗Another great thing I picked up from Cardiothoracic surgery was understanding how the ventricles contract. The ventricle Is such a complex structure that we are learning more and more about. One thing that has helped us understand this complex structure is strain imaging and 3D echocardiography. We have learned that the ventricle contracts in 4 ways: contraction (radial) motion but it also has a twisting (torsional and circumferential) and shortening (longitudinal) motion. . . . 👐🏽The surgeon I always work with often described the hearts motion as “wringing of a towel.” This can be seen in the video above. The understanding of the multiple different motions of the heart has allowed us to better understand intrinsic myocardial disease and pick up disease earlier in its process allowing us to add disease modifying agents to slow and sometimes reverse the negative remodeling of the heart. . . . 💓So next time you think of your heart pumping don’t think of it in one motion (squeeze) but rather a Towel being wrung of water. The heart is such an amazing organ and we are just now really beginning to understand it’s truly complex physiology! . . .

So, we all know that the birth of Jesus was announced by a star in the East, a special star that rose before the Sun, and that three Magi, or Babylonian astrologers, came bearing gifts for the birth of Jesus. But what was this star? Ancient astrologers followed the movements of the planets, the Sun and the Moon in relation to the zodiac constellations. I found a specific and extremely rare conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets visible in our sky, in the constellation of Leo. To make the connection even stronger, Jesus is called the Lion of Judah! Conjunctions of Jupiter and Venus occur almost every year, but what made this conjunction so special and rare was that the planets came extremely close, within less than 0.01°, and appeared as one very bright star in the morning sky, as seen from the Levant and ancient Persia. This alignment occurred in 2 BCE. To make it even more interesting, Jesus would have been exactly 33 years old in March AD 33, when the solar eclipse occurred in Pisces. Exactly 2,000 years later, in 2033, we will witness the same solar eclipse in Pisces. You cannot make this up. It is all there. The signs in the stars do not lie. Venus and Jupiter are associated with the divine masculine and feminine energies. Venus is also close by in the same sign during both eclipses. The eclipse in AD 33 was visible from, or had its greatest influence on, the South Pole, while the eclipse in 2033 will be visible from the North Pole, once again representing the opposite forces of the planet.
