For the first time in four decades, a new algorithm has improved upon the speed limit for calculating the fastest route to every point in a network. @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/new-method-i...
New Method Is the Fastest Way To Find the Best Routes | Quanta Magazine
A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.

Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America.
By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪

Geologists have long debated whether a formation in Canada contains the world’s oldest rocks. New measurements suggest it does – and that these rocks are the last remains of Earth’s primordial crust
These rocks are probably the last remains of Earth's early crust

Resistance is building. Millions of people turned out for mass protests this spring. Now the momentum continues TOMORROW with the next major mass mobilization: No Kings Day. Nearly 2,000 events are planned across the country--find yours here:
No Kings
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Why does the genetic staircase of DNA always twist to the right? The root of this “homochirality” remains one of the biggest mysteries clouding the origins of life.
How the Universe Differs From Its Mirror Image | Quanta Magazine
From living matter to molecules to elementary particles, the world is made of “chiral” objects that differ from their reflected forms.

In a recent publication, a team of physicists showed that the electric and magnetic interactions are purely geometric and can therefore be unified with gravity, opening a new path to a theory of everything. I’ve had a look at the paper…
