One day, all Germans in Germany appeared closed on Google Maps. The problem is that nobody knows why

He common sense It is the best guide to avoid mistakes. The problem is that it is easy for us to leave it aside while We blindly trust technology As if it were infallible. And if not, they tell the German German drivers because, just before a national bridge, they saw in Google Maps What half country had become a forbidden area. Short. On Thursday, May 29, the Ascension Dayeither Christi Himmelfahrt. It is a national holiday whose previous day is one of those who more displacements record. HE esteem That, at that time, there are between six and eight million displacements, but although many concentrate the day before the holiday, there are also millions of displacements the day in question. The surprise came when drivers who use Google Maps in your vehicle They ran into With this image in which you can see a “prohibited” symbol on the main roads that join the four cardinal points of the country and cities as important as Berlin, Hamburg or Frankfurt. Inutschland in GanzChaos Bei Google Maps: Dienst Zeigt Unzählige False Sperrungenhttps://t.co/qefirrihx3 – Peter Berger (@leosgeminix) May 29, 2025 Alternative road collapse. It may have happened to you that seeing a sign of “prohibited the step” and your common sense dictates that you should pay attention to that signal, but the GPS Indicates that you can go through that street and, for a moment, you lean to browse. We trust them because they do not usually fail, but given that vision of the main cut roads, and how we read in The Guardianthere were those who did not play it and decided to go on secondary roads. The result was expected: collapse in some of them, delays, travelers trying to find deviations to those main routes and many calls to the police and the traffic control authorities asking about the situation. Also speculation about a cyber attack (as with the blackout in Spain) or a terrorist attack. Citizen collaboration. There was also the case of people who did not attend to those stop signals and dared to circulate on those roads, supposedly, cut. When they could do it without problem, they began to report their cases and that was when Google began to act. The company began to eliminate those notices in the application and traffic was restored as the rest of the people undertook their trips and consulted a route on Google Maps that no longer had the warning symbols. Engadget He assures that the error only lasted two hours, but it is more than enough time for that avalanche of drivers on secondary roads. Ok, but … what caused it? Google’s response was extremely vague. As we read in Arstechnicathe company did not comment specific details and, in fact, a Google spokesman confirmed to German media that the company would not give details about the case. They limited themselves to saying that a technical problem had been investigated that showed temporary road closures inaccurately, but that it had already been solved. They also commented that Google Maps baby from three sources: user reportspublic sources and external suppliers. And there may be the “guilty” (among many quotes). The German Automobile Club is one of the largest automobile associations in Europe and, in the face of the holiday, He warned on possible retentions on those roads. The speculation is that the Maps failure was related to a “hallucination” of the application due to jamsstill, non -existent. Not all GPS. Now, those who had to drive with total tranquility that day were the users of Apple Maps and Waze. Although the latter is owned by Google, both showed the traffic data correctly, without any closing signal on those roads. Being so marked for the exits in Germany, the drivers who were guided with those apps had to drive quieter than ever. In the end, it was at anecdote and in travelers who arrived something later to their destination, but can also teach a lesson: having several alternativestaking an eye on each of them before leaving is not a bad idea.

Mining companies believed to have found a treasure in Ciudad Real. Until the Iberian lynx appeared

In a video that is has viralized By networks you can see how two lynxes are disputing the territory to headers, a habitual practice between these felines. He Reelrecorded in Ciudad Real, shows how felines are returning to their natural habitat. In a turn of events, these animals have managed to stop attempts to extraction a company: giving them a legal header. The exploitation. The “Neodimio Project” is an initiative of the Quantum mining company that seeks gray monacita in the province of Ciudad Real. From this rare land the neodymium is extracted, used in magnets of electric cars and wind turbines. The mining company has shown interest in exploring areas near Valdepeñas, Santa Cruz de Mudela and Torrenueva, areas to overcome the cat, According to the avant -garde. Maybe there are no lynx … But there are people living in those areas that oppose mining. The “yes to the living land” platform has asked the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, to oppose the Rare Earth’s mining project, According to Cadena Ser. From the organization they have explained that it could have a devastating impact on local biodiversity and endanger the ecological corridors that the lynxs have begun to recover. They do not stop in your search. Quantum’s story with Ciudad Real It has been more than a decade. After the failure of the “Matamulas” project, the company tries to return to the load. But time does not play in its favor: the citizen opposition has grown, water resources are increasingly scarce and the rural economic model (based on wine, oil and tourism) fears are affected. The controversy has also intensified for a complaint of the Seprona, which accuses the company of having done work without permission on a plot of Torrenueva, According to Castilla-La Mancha Media. Legal header The Iberian lynx, in its reintroduction process in the region, has played a decisive role in this conflict. Although rare earth mining is seen as an economic opportunity in the context of the energy transition, efforts to preserve fauna and biodiversity have led to stop these projects. As have explained at the vanguardthe lynx is no longer just a conservation symbol, but an argument of weight in legal reports and protests. Its presence in areas such as the Montiel field has become an obstacle to mining companies that seek to exploit these natural resources. It is not the only place. Although Ciudad Real is emerging as the area with the most potential for rare earths in Spain, it is not the only one. In different areas of the country we can find, as Galicia, Gran Canaria, Almería, Estremaduraamong other places. The fan that has been opened is very wide, but these deposits have in common not only the element, but their extraction seems to be complex. For its part, the European Commission has not included the Quantum project in your list of strategic initiativeswhich means that it does not have the support of Brussels to continue its development. Recovering spaces. The lynx has become a defender of its territory, interfering with projects that threaten their home. The struggle for the future of Ciudad Real is between the protection of biodiversity and the progress of mining, a dispute that reflects the dilemma between the need for natural resources and the conservation of ecosystems.

A huge blue spiral appeared in the sky of Europe at 9 at night. It was the wake of a spacex rocket

It is hard to believe, but the last night were not aliens either. If you were looking at the sky at 20:55, European central time, you could see a bright blue spiral illuminating the night. It was a Spacex rocket. A strange show. In United Kingdom, Belgium, Poland either Ukraine. From The clean skies of Sierra Nevadain Granada. Virtually all of Europe has managed to capture the spiral light that crossed the sky last night. They soon appeared photos on social networks. People asked what that strange phenomenon was. It is not a usual show, although it has already been seen in Hawaii, Alaska either Iceland. A Falcon 9 of Spacex. Neither a missile, nor a satellite, nor a galaxy about to swallow us. Nor a UFO. The object had a name and surname because it was a Falcon 9 rocket of Spacex by recentrating in the earth’s atmosphere. He had taken off from Cabo Cañaveral, east of the United States, two hours before. The Spy Nrol-69 satellite of the American National Recognition Office (NRO) had put in orbit. And he was returning to the earth to disintegrate in the atmosphere in a controlled way. What caused the spiral. Before a controlled reentry, the 13.8 -meter length rocket rotates to get rid of the fuel that is still in its deposits; A process called passivity. The low temperatures instantly froze the propellants released by the rocket, which added to the turn movement and the position of the sun caused the light show over Europe. The turn is what made it look like a spiral, and the sunlight was what illuminated the frozen wake. Nothing to do with the incident of Poland. In February, the second stage of a Falcon 9 rented without control over Europe. Several pieces of the rocket fell into populated areas of Poland, without causing damage (except the dismissal of the president of the Polish Space Agencyfor its management of the incident). In this case, and as is usually the case, the second stage of Falcon 9 successfully turned on its engine to fall controlled in the atmosphere, far from populated areas. They were the light conditions and the flight profile that made its wake visible in the European night sky, without further consequences than the scare of some European spectators.

For years we had assumed that global consumption of coal was condemned to go down. Until India appeared

Although the entire world is looking towards renewables and there are different projects focused on it, many countries still depend on coal. However, this time the country that slows this progression is not China, but a competitor has come out very geographically: India. The demand for coal. The price fixer in Asia He has marked That coal prices have dropped, around $ 100 per ton due to a temperate winter and an excess world supply, levels not seen since May 2021. However, this fall can be temporary, since investment in new production has decreased while demand Keep increasing In countries like India and China, which would cause a rebound in prices and keep coal as a necessary source globally. But wasn’t it reducing? On the one hand, some countries have managed to reduce or eliminate their dependence on this fossil fuel, such as Spain that He advanced his goal to close the coal or the United Kingdom plants that ended the carbon era After 142 years. For its part, Chile has implemented a tax Carbon pioneer, which accelerated its transition to clean energy. On the other hand, shareholders and banks are They have denied to finance projects related to this fossil fuel. However, the demand continues to grow in India and China, since they cannot meet the demand of their populations only with renewable energy. In data. India is the country that is most using coal. In fact, your demand scope The 1.5 billion tons for five years, which represents an annual increase of approximately 3%. India, with a very high demography, is using coal for the electrification of millions of homes, the expansion of the industry and the need to meet an energy demand in constant growth. However, they are closely followed or they are even almost with China. In spite of all Investment in renewable energy, closed last year With a world demand for coal of 8,770 million tons, that is, consuming 30% more than the rest of the world together. Doesn’t India invest in renewables? In recent years, he has invested in solar energy, establishing objectives such as reach 500 GW By 2030. In addition, has launched several projects to promote the development of renewable energy, such as the “National Solar Energy Program”. However, the infrastructure remains insufficient and the intermission of energy generation continues to bring them problems. The dependence of other countries. Not everything falls to India and China, there are other countries that are depending on coal by The need for continuous energy due to data centers and artificial intelligence. However, we will mention more specific cases. The German case that still has to depend on coal plants due to delays in the construction of new gas plants. For their part, Japan and South Korea continue to depend on coal to guarantee a stable energy offer, especially in winter. Finally the case of the United States than with The new energy policies Return to this fossil fuel. Forecasts The International Energy Agency has observed That world demand for coal will increase. Although prices are now low, this will change for the lack of investment and the continuous increase in demand. While China and India continue to burn coal, the problem will not be so much prices but to disrupt global climatic ambitions.
