Für unser Verständnis des Universums ist die Neutrinomasse von zentraler Bedeutung. Mit dem KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino Experiment, kurz KATRIN, ist man ihr auf der Spur. Kathrin Valerius verrät uns am Montag um 19 Uhr live bei Astro & Co, was der Stand der Dinge ist 🔭

Presidential budget is out. Here's NSF. Biggest cut, by amount, is $1 billion, or 66.8%, from MPS (Physics & Math directorate). nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

How bad will it be? Catastrophic.
Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.
But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.
Speak up now before it is too late.

The mystery of neutrino mass is now smaller than ever
The KATRIN experiment just gave us our tightest-ever constraint on neutrino masses: 1.1 million times lighter than the electron, at least.
But they can't be massless, either.

The long-elusive neutrino was shown to have a bizarre property no one expected: mass. New, tightest-ever limits have profound implications.

So…about AI’s energy use…
“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Because no one spends as much on science as the US does, destroying NIH, NSF, NOAA, NASA, EPA, USDA, USGS, etc. is leading to a brain drain, but it's not to other countries but rather from science. This senseless destruction of US science will hurt the US and the world for a very long time.
To see why destroying the US science enterprise is so detrimental to the world, we have to realize that the US spends more on research and development than any other country in the world (by far), and if we remove China and Japan, the US spends almost as much as ALL other countries combined.
