Technion Israel Institute of Technology physicists found something that can move faster than light: the darkness inside it — 3 April 2026 (LINK)

— They're known as phase singularities or optical vortices. This does not break relativity, which states that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. That's because the vortices carry no mass, energy, or information, and their motion is based on the evolving geometry of the wave pattern rather than any physical motion through space. "This breakthrough provides us with a powerful technological tool: the ability to map the motion of delicate nanoscale phenomena in materials, revealed through a new method (electron interferometry) that enhances image sharpness."

Powerful psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT —— colloquially known as "Bufo" or the God molecule — feels like a 'total fusion With God' — 2 April 2026 (LINK)

— Popular Mechanics: The substance comes from a species of toad called the Bufo alvarius, which is native to the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern United States. Some psychonauts would lick the toad's back where the venomous secretion glands lie. However, extraction methods have become more advanced, and now people have learned to milk the venom out of the glands, refining the hallucinogen into a smokable powder for more potent results, making it several times stronger than its more popular psychedelic cousin, DMT.

Catchup: Scientists say your brain has an energy field without which consciousness wouldn't exist — 29 March 2026 (LINK)

— Discover Wild Science: The central claim is striking. Consciousness doesn't live inside any one neuron or cluster of neurons. Instead, it emerges from the electromagnetic field that all that neural activity collectively generates. This field isn't just a byproduct. Some scientists now believe it's the actual seat of conscious experience. It's a shift in perspective that honestly feels a little mind-bending the first time it lands.

— The traditional view treats the electromagnetic field as a kind of exhaust, a side effect of the real work happening inside the neurons themselves. The newer, more controversial theory flips that completely. Proponents argue the field actively influences neural activity, feeding back into the brain and shaping what you experience, think, and feel. It's less like exhaust and more like the engine itself, or at the very least, a co-pilot sitting right next to it.
