Scientists Just Discovered Millions of Ancient ‘Batteries’ Hiding on the Bottom of the Ocean (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: ANDREW SWEETMAN IS NURSING A BEER in a hotel bar in São Paulo, Brazil, and he’s searching for answers. It’s November 2022, and for the past year, Sweetman has traveled on three separate voyages to the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ)—a pitch-dark abyssal plain, one of the deepest parts of the ocean, nestled between Hawaii and Mexico—to solve an enduring mystery. As a deep-sea ecologist at the U.K.’s Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), h
Tech CEOs Say the AI Singularity May Have Already Begun—Here’s What Happens Next (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Often when reporting on AI, I come across the word “singularity,” a term that’s definitionally transformative yet undeniably vague. What does a world refashioned by this “AI singularity” even look like? A simple, unsatisfying answer to that question is, “I don’t know.” The reason why runway AI initially became linked with the term “singularity,” a key concept in black hole astrophysics, is that both represent a kind of threshold of unknowing. In
One of Earth’s Deadliest Supervolcanoes Is Hiding in America—What If It Finally Blew Its Top? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Today, Earth is home to an estimated 1,500 volcanoes, ranging in age from Italy’s 500,000-year-old Mount Etna to central Mexico’s Parícutin, which was born in a cornfield in 1943. But only a few of those qualify as “supervolcanoes.” Those impressive volcanic complexes achieve their rarified status based on sheer explosive potential—the ability to spew at least 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles) of ash, rock, and lava in a single event, tri
One of Earth’s Deadliest Supervolcanoes Is Hiding in America—What If It Finally Blew Its Top? - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Some two dozen or so supervolcanoes dot the planet, and one the most dangerous lies in the heart of North America. If the Yellowstone supervolcano erupted, hundreds of cubic miles of ash, rock, and lava would devastate the region and cause a global cooling period. Experts think that humanity would survive the experience, but hundreds of millions could die from indirect effects of the eruption. Today, Earth is home to an estimated 1,500 volcanoes
Scientists Say Earth Needs to Shrink by Billions of People By 2200. But I Think We’re Already Screwed. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The crisis of overpopulation has been debated for nearly 250 years. In 1798, English economist Thomas Robert Malthus’ An Essay on the Principle of Population outlined an idea later dubbed the “Malthusian catastrophe” where population growth outpaces agricultural production. In 1968, these longstanding concerns bloomed into full-blown overpopulation fears following the publication of The Population Bomb by Paul and Anne Erlich. Just five years la
