A young man expresses his shock at finding his ‘homophobic’ married father on Grindr – years after an older man ‘disowned’ him for claiming to be gay. Speaking to Kyle and Jackie O, the man known only as Jacob said that one day he clicked on his father’s headless profile while he was browsing the popular hook-up app. He didn’t recognize his father’s body from the pictures, but couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something all too familiar about him. ‘They have one of the en suite bathrooms that goes through the walk-in closet – I think it looks like my parents’ house,’ she said. A man has told Kyle and Jackie O about finding his father on Grindr – even though the man is still married to his mother “I clicked on the profile to see if it was my dad,” he said. The young man went on to explain that his parents seemed as happy as ever, and had been together for 27 years. “I’ve never seen any sign of a rift between them,” he said. So he decided to engage with the profile, to see

Researchers have just studied the oldest lensing of light we can see and found the oldest dark matter ever observed, around a galaxy 12 billion years old. They spotted this dark matter by looking at how some galaxies bend the cosmic microwave background light, the earliest detectable radiation after the Big Bang, that rocked the universe as we know it. The team’s research is published in Physical Review Letters. “Most researchers use source galaxies to measure the distribution of dark matter from now to eight billion years ago,” said Yuichi Harikane, astronomer at the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research at the University of Tokyo and co-author of a recent paper, in a Nagoya University release. . “However, we were able to look further into the past because we used the CMB further afield to measure dark matter. For the first time, we’re measuring dark matter almost from the early days of the universe.” Dark matter makes up about 27% of the universe, although we cannot detect it directly

In a former gold mine a mile underground, inside a titanium tank filled with a rare liquefied gas, scientists have begun a search for what so far has not been able to find: dark matter. Scientists are pretty sure invisible objects make up most of the mass of the universe and say we wouldn’t be here without them – but they don’t know what they are. The race to solve this great mystery has taken one team to the depths beneath Lead, South Dakota. The question for scientists is basic, says Kevin Lesko, a physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. “What is this great place I live in? Right now, 95% of it is a mystery.” The idea is that a mile of dirt and rock, a giant tank, a second tank, and the world’s purest titanium will block out nearly all of the cosmic rays and particles that glide around – and penetrate – all of us every day. But dark matter particles, scientists say, can avoid all those obstacles. They hoped someone would fly into a vat of liquid xenon in the inner

Lunar scientists think they’ve found the hottest spot on the Moon, as well as about 200 Goldilocks zones that are always close to San Francisco’s average temperature. The moon has wild temperature fluctuations, with parts of month heats up to 260 degrees Fahrenheit (127 degrees Celsius) during the day and drops to minus 280 F (minus 173 C) at night. But the 200 newly analyzed shading moon holes are always 63 F (17 C), meaning they’re perfect for humans to shelter from extreme temperatures. They can also protect astronauts from the dangers of the solar wind, micrometeorites, and cosmic rays . Some of those holes may lead to equally warm caves. These partially shady holes and dark caverns could be ideal for lunar bases, scientists say. “Surviving on a lunar night is very difficult because it requires a lot of energy, but being in these holes and caves almost completely eliminates that requirement,” Tyler Horvath, a doctoral student in planetary science at the University of California,

Sarah Keating is in a race to find a rental property before her two-year-old son grows out of bed. Key points: Rental prices in several of Melbourne’s outer southeast suburbs have seen strong growth in the past year A real estate agent says landlords are raising rents because of concerns about rising interest rates Proponents fear vulnerable people will be increasingly locked out of the rental market The 21-year-old single mother currently lives with relatives in the southeast outside Melbourne. He shared a room with Ryder’s son, but soon the two of them wouldn’t fit. “I’m trying to find a bigger place to start our life and our family’s life so he has his own room, I have his own room,” he said. “I just can’t find it anywhere. “My son can’t sleep in my bed every night with me. He needs his own bed.” Ms Keating said she had been looking for a two-bedroom place in Melbourne’s outer southeast – suburbs such as Dandenong, Pakenham, Officer, Beaconsfield, Noble Park and Clyde – for about si

The largest shark in our oceans already has a reputation for being gentle giants, and it seems there are more than we ever realized. whale shark ( Typhoid rhino ) is a filter feeder, considered carefully combing the water for small animals such as krill. Among the litany of small swimmers they take are leafy greens made up of algae and other photosynthetic organisms. It’s unavoidable, but researchers wonder if this vegetation is just a garnish for carnivores, or if it provides the side salad needed to keep them swimming. Researchers examining dirt and skin samples identified what these 10-meter (32-foot) long sea hoovers were actually taking advantage of from the giant pool of water they breathed through their system. “The droppings suggest that they ate krill,” said University of Tasmania marine biologist Patti Virtue. “But they don’t metabolize much.” In contrast, whale sharks, which are true sharks with cartilage instead of bones, seem to extract nutrients from a lot of algae. “Th

Sue Carmichael shoots through a skirt rack at her local operations shop in Goulburn, New South Wales. Longtime savers don’t have to look at brands to know which one is from “one of those chains”. He took out one to demonstrate. “The elastic goes down and sits well, but your eyes can tell,” he says. The 58-year-old almost exclusively buys second-hand goods. Today, she was looking for a pair of white shoes for an event in Brisbane, but she said it was getting harder and more expensive to find good quality items at the op shop. The advent of fast fashion has disrupted the traditional life cycle of clothing with fewer clothes designed with the second or third owner in mind. Laura Washington encourages her students to look for second-hand clothes. ( Provided: Laura Washington ) Laura Washington, head teacher at The Fashion Design Studio at TAFE NSW, says fast fashion is the opposite of the heirloom clothing that thrifters cherish. “The life of these garments is greatly reduced – things lik

Have you heard of the LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Herculis, and BK Lyncis? No, they weren’t in the boy band in ancient Rome. They are Cataclysmic Variables, binary stars so close together that one star takes matter from its sibling. This causes the pairs to vary greatly in brightness. Could a planet exist in this chaotic environment? Can we see them? A new study says yes to both. Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) experienced a large increase in brightness. All stars vary in brightness to some degree, even our own sun. But the CV increase in brightness is much more pronounced than in stars like our Sun, and it happens on an irregular basis There are different types of catastrophic variables: classic nova, dwarf nova, multiple supernova, and others. All types share the same basic mechanics. A pair of stars orbit each other closely, and one star is larger than the other. The more massive ones are called primary stars, and draw gas from lower-mass stars, which astronomers ca

Success in badminton runs through the family of Rudy Jean Rigg. Rudy—who is transgender, non-binary and uses the pronouns they/he—is excellent even reaching state level. Rudy’s grandmother, Jean Tyrrel, is believed to have started Australia’s first badminton school. “It kind of started, like most things, rather informally,” they said. Their mother, Michelle Rigg, was a three-time junior national champion and later junior national coach. And their sister? Junior national doubles champion. While Melbourne-based Rudy used to play the sport, they don’t anymore. “No, I haven’t really played but I want to get back to playing,” they said. The reasons why are being explored in Rudy’s TikTok documentary series, Transathletica, which looks at the unique barriers transgender and gender-diverse people face to participate in sports. Journalist Narelda Jacobs said Sydney WorldPride 2023 would be a “tremendous opportunity”. ( Provided: Jaimi Joy ) “I felt if I confirmed my gender in any obvious way

Penguins are no strangers to climate change. Their life history has been shaped by fluctuations in temperature, and their bodies are highly specialized for some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. However, scientists fear the penguin’s evolutionary path may have stalled, thanks to the lowest evolutionary rate ever detected in birds. An international team of researchers has just published one of the most comprehensive studies on penguin evolution to date, which is the first to integrate data from living and fossil penguin species. The research reveals a general chaotic penguin life history, with three-quarters of all known penguin species – now represented only by fossils – already extinct. “Over 60 million years, this iconic bird has evolved into a highly specialized marine predator, and is now well-adapted in some of the most extreme environments on Earth,” the authors wrote. “However, as their evolutionary history reveals, they now stand as guardians highlighting the vulnerabil

If you are already following astronomy community on Twitter or maybe, Captain America himself You may have come across the story about the latest discovery of the James Webb Space Telescope: “The oldest galaxy we have ever seen.” This is exactly as promised from the James Webb Space Telescope. Just a week ago, the collective jaws of the world hit the floor when First amazing picture revealed . Now, the telescope started off right myriad science programs but researchers already have access to much of the data collected during the commissioning phase of JWST and released earlier to researchers around the world. That’s how we ended up discovering the “oldest galaxy” so quickly. Scientists examine specific data sets to search for distant galaxies and find a candidate they have dubbed the GL-z13, a callback to the current confirmed record holder, the GNz11. There’s still a lot of work to be done to make sure the GL-z13 is actually the new record holder — some of which will take

Netflix is ​​changing the way we watch television — but at a critical moment in the midst of a decline in subscribers, the streaming giant is hoping to capitalize on the popularity of its most successful show. Key points: The franchise strategy aims to build brands from television shows and movies Netflix executive says the move was inspired by Walt Disney and Star Wars After years of accumulating subscribers, Netflix lost 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter of this year When it first launched, Netflix broke Hollywood rules to create an $82 billion global stream that the rest of the entertainment industry quickly imitated. But as growth slowed, he looked back to find a way forward by borrowing a page from Walt Disney’s playbook: building a brand that crossed film, television, games, and consumer products. The tech company has revealed that it is planning ways to make more out of its bigger shows and films, with universes and characters that can be returned to again and again, like

MIT engineers designed a new surface treatment that makes boiling water more efficient. New surface treatments can save energy for systems used in many industries. At the heart of many industrial processes, including most power plants, many chemical production systems, and even cooling systems for electronics, is the energy-intensive step of boiling water or other liquids. They can significantly reduce their energy use by increasing the efficiency of the systems that heat and evaporate the water. MIT MIT stands for Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a prestigious private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts that was founded in 1861. It is organized into five Schools: architecture and planning; manipulation; humanities, arts, and social sciences; management; and science. MIT’s impact includes many scientific breakthroughs and technological advances. Their stated goal is to make a better world through education, research, and innovation. ” data-gt-translate-at
