Bioluminescence is at least 540 million years old, and it has evolved independently at least 94 times. From glowing plankton and fireflies to lanternsharks, living light serves defense, camouflage, communication and predation - with almost no heat.

String theory replaces point particles with vibrating filaments at the Planck length. New 2026 bootstrap results show classic string amplitudes emerging from sparse assumptions such as ultrasoftness, while the theory remains unconfirmed by experiment and still requires hidden extra dimensions.

Light echoes let astronomers watch stellar explosions twice: direct light arrives first, then dust-scattered light decades or centuries later. The apparent faster-than-light expansion is a perspective trick. Echo spectra classified Tycho's 1572 supernova as Type Ia. ➡️ psyll.com/articles/sci...
