🧠 **Consciousness vs. Matter: The 2026 Scientific Scandal** An article by Swedish scientist Maria Strömme, claiming that consciousness is the foundation of reality, caused a storm in academic circles and was retracted by the journal AIP Advances. 🔹 **Essence of the theory:** Matter is merely a projection of the field of consciousness, and we are local waves in this ocean. 🔹 **Reason for retraction:** Impossibility of experimental verification and lack of physical units of measurement. 🔹 **Outcome:** The article was retracted, but the original is available and continues to be studied. #science #physics #consciousness #news2026

Dark matter may be hiding in the fifth dimension! 🌌 A new theory by physicists explains why we cannot detect it: interaction with our reality weakened sharply as the Universe expanded. 🧠🔬

CERN scientists have made a breakthrough in high-energy physics: they were able to recreate the conditions of the first moments after the Big Bang using collisions of light oxygen and neon nuclei. Experiments have proven that to give birth to 'primordial matter' — quark-gluon plasma — it is not necessary to use heavy lead ions. 🔬🌌

Physicists from the University of Edinburgh have found a way to reduce memory energy consumption by tens of times. Instead of "brute force," they proposed using optimal control theory to switch bits. This could be a lifeline for data centers in the era of generative AI. 🧠⚡💾

British scientists have proposed a new theory explaining the nature of dark matter through the fifth dimension. The study, published in Physical Review D, solves the problem of "artificial fine-tuning" of particle masses and explains why dark matter became passive. 🔬🌌

Why can lightning blow up your TV even without a direct strike? 🌩️ Physicist Ruslan Tsygankov explains how electromagnetic induction kills electronics and when you really need to unplug devices from the sockets. ⚡️📺
