The chaos of streaming is causing a phenomenon that we thought was in recession: downloads are increasing

by

The market fragmentationhe price increase of subscriptions and a user experience increasingly less friendly are the main factors pointing to an uptick in unauthorized downloads. Since Netflix began raising rates and banning shared accounts, customers have raised the threat of a return to downloading. Now, for the first time in years, the numbers seem to back them up. Temporary drop. The emergence of services streaming like Netflix devoured unauthorized downloads. With the promise of a wide and accessible catalog for a fixed rate, the platforms significantly reduced the consumption of movies and series outside of conventional channels. However, the utopia of that completely legal market subject to companies has faded. Recent reports show an uptick in access to this type of content, reversing the trend of the previous decade. The data. According to the Observatory of Piracy and Consumer Habits of Digital Content of 2024, digital piracy in Spain increased by 9% last year, reaching a record figure of 42,782 million euros in value of content defrauded through 7,330 million illegal accesses. In addition, the study indicates that for the first time access to platforms has been recorded through apps, social networks and decoders, growing the aggregate figure even more (an additional 14% compared to the previous year).​ Because? As we pointed out, this rebound is due to a series of circumstances that have changed the outlook for the streaming: Streaming is no longer convenient. Although perhaps the main reason for the public’s disenchantment with the streaming is that the supply is increasingly dispersed– To access all relevant content, the user must subscribe to multiple services. The exclusivity strategy that studios use to attract and retain subscribers has broken that ideal convenience of accessing content legally thanks to the streaming. To watch a series with multiple seasons, the user may need to subscribe to different platforms or wait months for the service to change. This dynamic clashes head-on with the immediacy that consumers expect from digital content. All of this is made worse by the licensing war: each studio wants its own titles on its platform exclusively, and leads to the need to subscribe to very specific platforms to access such popular franchises as Marvel, Star Wars or Stranger Things, for example. Technically poorer service. In addition to price and fragmentation, the service offered by some platforms has also worsened, further eroding user loyalty. Many services They have reduced the bitrate in their transmissions to save costs, leading to worse image quality. This loss of quality is often a trigger for users to search for an illegal version that offers a better viewing experience, which makes no theoretical sense: an unauthorized copy of a film often looks and sounds much better than the one available online. streaming. lUnauthorized downloads have evolved. But in addition, traditional downloads by torrent consumption on websites is now added streaming built outside of unofficial platforms, unauthorized IPTV services and the distribution of content through social networks like Telegram and WhatsApp. 96% of movie and series consumption in 2023 was done through streaming Unauthorized: you no longer have to download anything, which reduces the risks. It is a very tempting panorama. Gabe already said it. Specifically in 2011, Gabe Newell said that “Piracy is not a price problem, it is a service problem“. Faced with a legal market that is expensive, fragmented and inconvenient, users see unauthorized downloads as a kind of alternative “service” that offers all the content with better quality and for free. It can be said that it is a problem that the industry itself has partly created.

The strangest phenomenon of every summer is also an industry of 500 million euros: the “Mermaiding”

by

The fever for ‘La Sernita’ that you lived in your childhood is nothing compared to the movement known as Mermaiding: a swimming style inspired by sirens and tritones and that is already trend, and it could almost be said that Lifestyle. Conventions, courses, exhibitions … There are people who live very happy without the lower extremities to replace them with a fish tail, even temporarily. And they have very convincing reasons. To move the tail. He Mermaiding It consists of swimming using a siren or triton tail, usually manufactured in silicone or synthetic fibers (and that can cost $ 5,000 in the most sophisticated cases), simulating the undulating movements characteristic of these creatures. It can be done in swimming pools or open waters, and its practice combines Swimming, apnea and some synchronized. In the last decade, the Mermaiding It has become In official sports Since 2019 in countries such as China and the United States, but we talk about it every summer for its quirky visual characteristics, which obviously include a fish tail. Mermaiding: A typology. There is Many variants and forms of practicing diminishing. Perhaps the most popular is the one oriented to the entertainment of profane in Sirenism. It provides the possibility of swimming experience with a siren or triton tail, and there are academies that are responsible for organizing Events to learn to do it. On the other side of the spectrum is the Mermaiding Deportivo: To officially practice it, specific courses are required with certifications such as SSI Mermaid either Padi Mermaidin which techniques such as the kick of dolphin, undulation and aquatic coordination are perfected. In a middle ground between them there is a variant of Mermaiding For shows, aquatic and thematic parks, hotels, as well as participations in spots, video clips and varied performances. It’s a use of Mermaiding More artistic and not oriented to competition. Mermaiding No: Sirenism. In Spain, mass conventions of sirens such as the Mermagic with that takes place every year in the United States, but for example, the Sirenas Mediterranean Academy It has been standing since 2014, giving courses and organizing private parties with sirens included. And there are organizations like Sirénida, a Professional Sirens and Triton Catalog Contractable for shows of all kinds. At the moment it is becoming, cursillo and of Cuqui Experiencein a more leisure option. Professional sirens. The Netflix documentary of 2023 ‘Sirena people’ details what the day -to -day life of these Sirenism professionals is. Because yes, it is not a handful of eccentric with silicone tail: in the United States it is a business with abundant ramifications in the entertainment world, with interventions in aquariums, musicals underwater and a long etcetera. The documentary shows parts of the job of mermaid as little glamorous as castings to work as a siren in a show, and you can see that it is completely legalized and normalized. According to the program, the Sireno world already moves 500 million dollars in the United States. Not so secret origins. From professional mermaid associations They certify that they have experienced an explosion of interest and an increase in applications in recent times, which link to the premiere of the Netflix documentary series. In it you can see those who were sirens in the park of Sirens Weeki Wachee, a theme park created by a royal sailor, Newton Perry, in 1947. In it there was a tiny scenario and a spring where the sirens made a show: the venerable precedents of the current sirens in aquariums and thematic shows. Illustrious predecessors for a business that comes out again. Header | Photo of Michael Hystead in Unspash In Xataka | 24 board games and agile and fun hobbies to play in summer anywhere

Surely you don’t know who Sofia Surfers, Fabiana, Álvaro Suárez and Pablo Vera are. But they are the viral summer phenomenon

by

The summer of 2025 is marked by a New type of gossip that is born, grows and expands mainly in Tiktok. Unlike traditional gossip in magazines, television or pink press, this time the epicenter is in networks, created, disseminated and amplified by the users who use the social network: generation Z and millennials. Sofía Surfers, Fabiana, Álvaro Suárez and Pablo Vera do not belong to the world of the show or the traditional show, not even to areas where the celebrities normally arise. But there is no talk of other people in Tiktok. The protagonists. The least interesting of this story is possibly the story itself, But summarizing: Sofia Surfers She is the sister of Lola Lolita, one of the most segated Spanish influencers.

Fabiana Sevillano It is an Andalusian influencer with more than one million followers and is part of the social circle of Sofia and Álvaro. He has publicly confirmed to have a casual and recent sentimental relationship with Álvaro, with an open and direct posture before the drama. Álvaro Suárez He is former partner of Sofia Surfers and a new partner, apparently, from Fabiana. He has tried to maintain a clear attitude and put limits to the spread of gossip. Pablo Vera He is a couple of Fabiana, his name has been mentioned frequently in videos and reactions, and has tried to clarify his version of the facts. Sofia stopped following Fabiana on social networks, what many people interpreted as the confirmation of a betrayal, which Fabiana later confirmed. All this framework has since generated thousands of memes, videos, indirect and debates among their followers, amplifying the viral phenomenon. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok The impact.

Hashtags like #fabianasevillano, #Pablovera and #Sofiastasurfers are among the most used. The never seen. It is a level of engagement Unusual for previously unknown characters, and that is also organic, decentralized and collaborative, which generates a feeling of community and participation that does not occur in other formats of the pink press. This also generates further propagation speed and more viral strength, which has made the phenomenon born in Tiktok, its impact has spread to other social networks. @javihoyosmartinez Fabiana Sevillano confirms that he looked with Álvaro Suárez: “I like it.” Tell how he told Pablo Vera and responds to Sofía Surferss #Fabianasevillano #Pablovera #Alvarosuarez #SOFIASURFERSS #Lolaloliitaaa ♬ Original sound – Javihoyos Beyond the gossip.

As the already historical one left us well ‘Save me‘, The renewal of the distributions of these dramas is essential when giving them continuity. In this case, the refreshing circumstance that most of these actors were not previously known (even one of them sister of Lola Lolita) gives them a renewed vitality. And so the idea that there are no modern or ancient issues (a story of infidelities, in fact, is one of the oldest in the world), but forms and spaces to tell them.

In León there are small villages that are finding a peculiar phenomenon: thousands of “ghost tourists”

by

In the world there is good and bad touristsrespectful tourists and disrespectfulclean and others capable of converting places such as Everest either The Fuji In authentic stercolera, but much less common is what some peoples of the province of León are living. His municipalities are finding a kind of “Ghost Tourism”a drip of thousands and thousands of travelers that nobody has seen or heard or housed, but that in theory they have visited the town. Or at least he assures it A study of the INE. Multiplying the census by 24. Carbajal sources It is a town of León located about 50 minutes by car from the provincial capital and surrounded by hectares and hectares of cultivation. It doesn’t usually sneak into the news, but Monday León News He dedicated him A broad article which explains a peculiarity of the people: in summer there are few municipalities in which the population shoots more for tourism. According to A study INE experimental that measures the flow of tourists from the position of mobile phones, between July and August 2024 the town received 1,826 tourists. Many do not seem like many, but it is that INE himself acknowledges that in the Leonese town there are barely registered 76 people. That is, when the heat arrives, the summers multiply by 24 the municipal census. Next to nothing. “It’s a mockery”. Such data would be compressible if Carbajal sources had a natural park, an old fortress, parties known throughout the community or some other claim that explains that avalanche of visitors, but the City Council itself itself Recognize that this figure of 1,826 tourists (464 in July and 1,180 in August) is difficult to explain … and even more difficult to assume. “It is a burial,” nods The mayor of the town, Carlos de León Saluds, in León News. Similar opinion, Ana María Ortega, former mayor and councilor, Explain That one thing is that the influx of visitors increases in July and August for the people who returns to the village or visit to their relatives and a very different one that the data is triggered in an exorbitant way. “In summer you can triple the population, but multiply by 24 the number of inhabitants with veraners and tourists cannot be.” So … what happens? To understand that mysterious “Ghost Tourism” the first thing is to go to the prine sources. The data of the 1,826 tourists leaves a new “Experimental Statistics” of the INE that resorts to the signals of the mobiles to calculate different metrics related to tourism: the place of origin of foreigners arriving in Spain, the destinations that visit the Spaniards when they leave the country and the movement between communities, provinces and municipalities. The study has been prepared for a few years and always talks about the same: “Tourists.” If we consult the “internal tourism” data and more specifically the flows of “Interprovincial tourists” Residents in Spain, classifying the results by municipalities, the surprise arrives: in July of last year Fuentes de Carbajal received 646 and in August 1,180. In total 1,826. The question is therefore … how are those figures calculated that collide the mayor and the former mayor of the people? Mobile and antennas matter? The response is given by INE in The technical file From the survey: the data is related to the position of mobile phones and are obtained thanks to the collaboration of the country’s large operators. The approach is interesting and promising, but implies certain challenges. “The location of mobile phones is estimated from mobile phone antennas”, collects the institute itself: “This implies that the location of a mobile is not established with total precision, and the error depends on the concentration of antennas.” In summary, the more mobile antennas, the greater precision. Unraveling the mystery. The INE’s ability to analyze the data is also limited. The records on mobile location are anonymous and processed each operator, so the institute receives only aggregate data and in tables, without option to examine loose values. In rural areas it is also found that the low density of the network conditions the type of ‘cells’ with which it operates. By statistical secret, the institute also hides certain data. With that information about the Ortega table Slide that the balance of carbajal sources (which is so adjusted to what is perceived in the people itself) may be due to technical issues, such as coverage or that for some reason the data of other municipalities are added to those of the Leonesa Villa, thus blurring the real photo. Near Fuentes de Carbajal there are other villas with a balance of zero visitors. In Xataka we have already addressed the INE to ask him about that apparent mismatch. Is it the only case? No. León News Informs other equally striking, although none reaches the level of carbajal sources. In San Millán de los Caballeros, for example, the INE registered 1,648 tourists in July and in August 1,602, which adds 3,250. Again they may not seem like many, but it is that the town has 191 inhabitants registered. The same occurs in Izagre, of 137 residents and who according to the statistical institute receives almost 2,000 Veranians. “We don’t have great parties, just four performances during the summer,” remember the mayor of San Millán. “There are two campsites close to the people, but they are in the municipal terms of Valencia de D Juan and Villamañán.” Nor does the Izagre councilor achieve to understand everything that happens: “On central summer days, with the holidays, between 150 and 200 people can be reached in each of the villages, but reaching the 1,987 veraneantes in those two months cannot be.” Images | Zed Mendez (UNSPLASH)Google Maps and Wikipedia Via | León News In Xataka | It is increasingly easy to see from the road a crop that had never been dominant in Spain: the pistachio

It is a common phenomenon and is called GTP

by

Do you remember when, years ago, stories circulated that used to consider urban legends – until it experienced them – about dreams in which we played tetris or doom, and that were so real that, sometimes, they got to be confused with the periods of vigil? A name came to be given, The tetris effectand the new generations of games and apps, more and more sophisticated and realistic, have taken that phenomenon one step further: after the Tetris effect, the GTP arrives. What is the GTP. Are the acronym for Game Transfer Phenomenathat is, phenomenon of game transfer, and consists of a series of involuntary experiences that players have after intense game sessions, where elements of video games (from images and specific sounds to such concrete aspects as object inventories) are overlap with our real life perceptions. Its characteristics were described for the first time about a decade ago by Angelica Ortiz de Gortari In a doctoral thesis. His inspiration was his own experience: visualize products in a supermarket as if he were using a video game telescopic sight Some of his symptoms. They are very varied: visual perceptions (see life bars or the game of the game) and auditory (soundtrack, special effects), automatic impulses (executing conditioned movements, such as pressing buttons), recurring thoughts and behaviors inspired by video games (speaking involuntarily with concrete games), tactile or kinesthetic sensations (perceive the control in the hands when there is not there) … player can see health bars on people’s heads, or feel the need to grab everyday objects as if they were Power-ups. A frequent experience. It is not about An isolated or unusual phenomenon. Studies in which More than 6,000 players have participated They indicate that most have experienced GTP at least once. And in Another analysis that was carried out in Chinabetween 82 % and 96 % of participants in a survey reported that they had experienced some form of GTP. This BBC article Check the phenomenon and mention Ortiz de Gortari, which describes that, for those who experience it, the GTP can be “disconcerting and potentially dangerous”, although, being relatively natural and simple to explain, most of the time it is passenger and has no greater significance. But why does it happen? On the one hand, video games demand automatic and conditioned responses, which can then be repeated in real life. And of course, the very high immersive capacity of modern games multiplies this possibility of transfer. It is a phenomenon comparable to catchy songsthat we repeat in our head without being able to forget them, but the GTP has a plus of intensity because the brain areas that manage it are linked to action and impulses, not to passive attitudes. It will go to more. Experts such as Ortiz de Gortari affirm that with devices such as virtual reality helmets, phenomena such as GTP could increase exponentially in the future. Without a doubt, it is an area that Science considers that it should be examined thoroughly: Not only because video games are the main form of entertainment globally, but because it delegates, to a large extent, to what extent our minds are vulnerable to increasingly aggressive technological advances.

In South Korea there is a curious phenomenon that keeps economists and fans of the K-Pop in suspense: the return of BTS

by

For a time BTS’s careerone of the most popular K-Pop bands on the planet (if not the most popular), seemed unstoppable. Their sales added millionslike his Fans legions Inside and outside South Korea or its fame in the music industry, which soon extended to the Anglopartla market. The Septeto broke barriers, crowned in the Billboard 200 And even posed with Joe Biden In the White House. In 2022 however things changed. At its peak, the Boy Band advertisement A temporary pause forced by something that had little to do with music: the mili. Now its seven members have fulfilled the obligations with Seoul and You talk already next resentment With a background question: what will you mean for the K-Pop, a cultural industry Milmillonaria In full transformation? When BTS hung the rifle. In South Korea the law is relentless: all men between 18 and 28 must Comply with mandatory military service (or social volunteering) for a period ranging between 18 and 21 months. The rule provides some exemptions for athletes, dancers or young people who have achieved large awards in their disciplines and suppose a pride for the country. The same does not happen with K-pop singers. At most they can, thanks to a reform approved in 2020, delay recruitment up to 30 years. Hence In 2022 BTS members did something strange in a formation uploaded to the crest of the wave and with a growing fame both inside and outside Korea: they announced a break to do the mili. Its seven components do not have the same age or enlisted at the same time, hence the band’s reunion It was announced already by then by 2025. And the date came. The oldest component, Jin, was enlisted in December 2022 and ended his service in June 2024which has allowed him to return to the stage and resume his solo career. In recent weeks, RM, V, Jimin and Jung Kook have also graduated. The last to fulfill its obligations with the South Korean state, Suga, did it Just a few days ago. In practice, Remember Nikkeithat means that (if there are no surprises) in July all members of the Boy Band They will be able to resume their joint career. And, as expected, that has unleashed the expectation of the international press and its fans. The agency that represents the band has confirmed to The New York Times That he still cannot relieve any return plan, but that has not prevented BTS fans from being celebrated and some leaks jump. A few days ago Variety It echoed of an exclusive of The Korea Herald That states that the group will return to the stage in more or less nine months, towards March next year. Nikkei does not specify so much, but reveals That the band’s environment rules out that a stage is once again on the stage. Much more than pop music. That BTS’s return plans (despite being diffuse still) have monopolized holders in the means of reach of The BBC, CNN either Tnytreveals that Boy Band South Korean is much more than a popular group. BTS is relevant for several reasons. And not all strictly musical. Beyond its success in the West or to break molds by crowning the Billboard 200, BTS is a key exponent of Hallyu, The “Korean wave” that has expanded the culture, music and cinema of the country far beyond its borders. In 2024 Asia Fund Managers assuredciting a survey of the South Korean government itself, which the Hallyu wave added around 225 million fans throughout the world, far from the 9.26 million that its first survey had shown, made in 2012. According to its calculations, in 2023 there were more than 1,700 Hallyu fans clubs in 119 countries and much of them (68%) focused on the K-Pop. It’s culture … and it’s money. Asia Fund Managers remember Also that the influence of the K-Pop is not limited to the music industry or the concert circuit. That there are more pending people of South Korean groups translates into greater interest in the country’s culture, their language, kitchen, tourism or fashion, which has a measurable impact on Wones. Wion ensures that the global value of exports of products and services related to the K-POP exceeded 5,000 million dollars in 2018, a stratospheric figure compared to 40 million only two decades ago. The figures should be handled cautiously, but give an idea of ​​the mayor of the K-Pop as a cultural industry. There is Who esteem which in 2018 contributed 1.7% of South Korea’s GDP. “K-pop has become an important cultural force, influencing fashion, beauty and language trends,” Reflect ROMADHONI FAILUATE IN MEDUM. “This has contributed to promoting South Korean culture and tourism, generating an increase in income in these sectors.” And what does BTS suppose? In 2022 Korea Science published A report which reflects that in full international expansion the “BTS effect” came to boost exports of consumer goods of South Korea worth $ 1.1 billion. In 2021, during An interview In the NPR, Vanek Smith went even further and estimated that the Boy Band It contributes hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars every year to the South Korean economy. Its effect reminds in a way that of Taylor Swift, whose activity reverses in thousands of millions of dollars for the United States, according to the Federal Reserve. The K-Pop in crisis? Yeah Filtration of The Korea Herald It is correct and BTS returns to the stage in March 2026, the big question is … will it meet the same K-Pop in 2022, when the group announced its temporal break? During this time already measured, some members have continued with solo careers and during these last years their agency has strategically launching issues and videos to keep interest in the Boy Band. The K-POP scene also has other outstanding representatives, such as Blackpink, Seventeen either Newjaans. However, during the last years There has been multiple voices that have identified symptoms of Crisis in the K-Pop. … Read more

We have been talking about the ‘Miracle Inditex’ for years to explain its growth. That phenomenon is coming to an end

by

Inditex has just confirmed what many feared: it is no longer the unstoppable growth machine we knew and faces a more mature stage, without the double digit that until very recently was the custom. Why is it important. The first quarter marks a turning point in the history of the Galician giant. Sales grow just 1.5% compared to 7.1% of the previous year, and the benefit stagnates at 0.8%. They are figures of any European textile company, not the empire that used to other numbers. In figures. The numbers are devastating: 8,274 million in sales … … When analysts expected 8,380 million. Is The weakest growth since 2018excluding pandemia. The stock market does not forgive: the shares collapse more than 4% and touch the 46 euros in intradic minimums. The context. Three factors explain this unexpected normalization. The strong euro devours international sales with an impact of 3% that the company did not know how to foresee. Torrential rains in Spain (15% of global sales) have stopped spring clothes purchases. Operating costs grow above income for the first time in years. Between the lines. The data of the balance They show something more worrying: Inditex is losing efficiency. Stocks rise 6.3% when the company is proud to maintain Stocks minima. The net financial position falls by 7.3%. They are symptoms of a company that can no longer control all variables as well as before. Now it remains to see if it is something temporary or goes further. Yes, but. The second quarter offers a respite: sales are growing 6% between May and June. Even so, it is half of the 12% registered a year ago in the same period. The improvement exists, but it is still that of a normal company, not that of a phenomenon as it was so far. The latest. The Jose Arnau exitvice president and right hand of Amancio Ortega for 24 years, symbolizes the end of an era. Your substitute, Roberto Cibeirainherits a prosperous but mortal company. The transformation is complete: Inditex has gone from being a business unicorn to a solid, but predictable multinational. The miracle is over and gives way to the era of maturity.

The phenomenon of the year in Tiktok Spain is an influencer dressed in the nineteenth -century maiden mode

by

The phenomenon of Inés de Robles (better known as Inesdrobles) It is particular for very different reasons. On the one hand, it is a fashionable Tiktaker who, however, remains faithful to a style that cannot even be described as Vintagebut hugs the rancid and little strident as a sign of identity. Second, those who have raised their commentators. And now, he is riding the wave of fame Tiktaker. The template. Inés de Robles videos are always the same, which has undoubtedly helped you establish a definite style. For example, never speak; simply, with unusually current background music (Quevedo, Mar Lucas, J Balvin, Ozuna … a whole Playlist own of a young woman of tastes mainstream), which accompanies of often frightful playbacks. Dressed in clothing Vintagethat sometimes they touch the directly typical of the last century (although, as we will see, not quite), it always makes a characteristic gesture: it bends a foot on the knee of the opposite leg, and stretches it and supports the ground as if it were a ballet step. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok The comments. However, what has made it viral are its commentators: with a very white and nothing offensive sense of humor, they joke about the outdated aesthetics of videos. “She does not do history exams, she does Storytimes“,” I have gone so much that I have reached the Renaissance “,” I came out in ‘For his illustrious’ and I gave me ‘me’ “,” Fonograph of the lady? “,” This video has reminded me of the summer of 1874 “,” That is the treaty of newly signed tordesillas, right? ” 300,000 ‘Like’ and several thousand comments. Famous (and promotions) arrive. Fame is knocking on the door of Inés de Robles in the form of faranduleo, with collaborations where other people poses with her and makes her famous gesture with her foot. Some of them have been Beéle, Violeta Mangriñán, Omar Montes and even Iker Casillas. And of course, promotions have arrived, some more naked (Grefusa!a Futurist optics), and others more appropriate (Carolina Herreraa online copying where Gutenberg’s Bible says there). His last nine videos, all of April, are guests or promotions paid. An inimitable attraction. The result of this whole mixture is a fascinating account, since Inés de Robles never speaks, which makes her look like a young woman trapped in a bubble. The curious use of artists as inappropriate as the Zowi or Bad Gyal in the background in their videos contrasts with the descriptions of the videos, halfway between naivety (“enjoying sunset”, “excursion day”) and the consciously rancid (“APPOINTMENT for Thursday Tea”, “Tuesday of Mandados”).

Physicists believed that this quantum phenomenon was impossible. They were very wrong

by

This appointment of Richard FeynmanNobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to quantum electrodynamics and one of the most admired scientists of the twentieth century, condenses very well The complexity of quantum physics: “If you think you understand it, you don’t really understand quantum physics.” Quantum mechanics study the laws that govern The world of the very smallof the particles, as well as the interactions to which the atomic and subatomic structures are exposed. Most of these rules are radically different from the laws we have become familiar with in the world in which we live. In the macroscopic world. Many physicists have spent the last century trying to understand how known quantum phenomena work, and also striving to identify unknown quantum rules. The problem is that working with the extremely small, with the particles, is very difficult. However, this does not mean that they are not successful. To hunt and capture the elusive transition of super -artedia Physicists Klaus Hepp and Elliott H. LIEB predicted in 1973 a quantum phenomenon known as super -transiant phase transition. For more than half a century the scientific community has worked out without success to find evidence to protect the existence of this mechanism beyond mere theory. But everything changed on April 4. That day a group of researchers from Rice University, in Texas (USA); the University of Shanghai (China); NASA’s National Laboratory (USA) or the National University of Singapore, among other scientific institutions, published an article in Scienceadvances in which he explains the procedure he has used to experimentally observe this quantum phenomenon so elusive. Understanding what is the transition of super -transiant phase and all its implications is not simple, but we can get a rather precise idea about what this mechanism consists of if we observe it as a sudden change in a particle system that causes many of them begin to behave in a coordinated way. When this phenomenon does not occur, atoms interact in a weak way and behave in a disorganized way, but when the super -artary phase transition arises, they synchronize and exhibit the same behavior, giving rise to a new state of matter. When the super -transiant phase transition arises the atoms are synchronized and exhibit the same behavior The most surprising thing is that this new state gives the material unusual properties from a macroscopic point of view. The researchers who have mentioned some lines above have managed to carry out the first direct observation of this mechanism. And they have succeeded by triggering the transition in a glass composed of erbium, iron and oxygen subjected to a temperature of −271.7 degrees Celsius. In addition, they exposed it to a magnetic field of no less than 7 teslas, so it was more than 100,000 times more intense than the magnetic field of the Earth. What they pursued was to induce the transition of super -transiant phase by coupling the spin of the particles. And they succeeded. The spin is an intrinsic property of The elementary particleslike the electric charge, derived from its time of angular rotation. The first experimental evidence that endorsed its existence It arrived in 1922 Thanks to the experiments of German physicists Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach, although scientists did not begin to understand the nature of this very important property of elementary particles until a few years later. The reason why it is not easy to understand precisely what the spin is because it is a quantum phenomenon, so it is not quite correct to describe it as a conventional rotation movement in space. Even so, the description that I have proposed in the previous paragraph is usually used for a didactic purpose because it helps us to intuit without too much effort what we are talking about. In any case, the most interesting thing is that the transition of super -transiant phase opens the door to the next generation of quantum technologies. This is the really important thing. According to physicists involved in this experiment, this mechanism can be used to put quantum sensors endowed with a much higher sensitivity than those currently available. And it can also be used to produce more robust cubits for Quantum computers. Sounds good. I hope your predictions are fulfilled.

‘A Minecraft movie’ is becoming such a large phenomenon that is causing disturbances in cinemas

by

‘A Minecraft movie’ is in its second week in cinemas and we can stop considering it a day flower: His monumental box office He has already made it the film that has raised the most in what we have been from the year. But there are more: the passes are becoming authentic jungles, with disturbances, interrupted passes and a long etcetera of phenomena that have nothing passenger. We are facing the most noticeable movie of the year … although for reasons that have nothing to do with their quality. Second weekend. 80 million dollars in the United States has raised, which represents a 50% drop with respect to its overwhelming 162.7 million debut, but remains a figure that makes the film the success of the year: it has already been raised 550 million in the world, advancing to ‘Captain America: Brave New World’. The film has given a very welcome thrust to a loose box office for this start of the year and gives the starting gun for a series of expected successes: ‘Thunderbolts’, the new ‘impossible mission’ and ‘Lilo & Stitch’ The most popular game in history. Although the first advances were badly receivedkneading a spectacular amount of Dyslikes In Warner’s official channels on YouTube, there is a different phenomenon, but comparable to that of the film of ‘Super Mario Bros‘: A failure between median critics and spectators, but a success among its target audience. It is actually pure mathematics: ‘A Minecraft film’ is aimed at a number of potential spectators of 300 million (it is the last official sales data, October 2023), and many of them are responding to the call. Not everyone plays. And those 300 million (which today will be many more) are multiplied by a very simple issue: many of the game fans They do not playbut they consume videos related to the game. It is calculated that could be tens of thousands of Streamers of the gameeach of them with their own thousands of followers, who are not necessarily players. Recall that there are 600 million registered players (the fourth most popular game in the world). It is a real land paid to take the Z generation to the rooms. A complicated phenomenon to adapt. ” Minecraft ‘has successfully brought to the big screen part of its aesthetics, but it is a not very easy task on paper. This creation of Markus Persson and now owned by Microsoft (by 2,500 million wing) It has openly rudimentary but very versatile graphics, which allow constructions of all kinds to be carried out, and without pressures: for many players, the attractiveness is simply to enter the game and build, which has undoubtedly been key to attract very young users. Fanaticism was triggered in the early last decade, before even the launch of the first official version: At that time he already had 16 million players. The infinite. In fact, the secret that, on the way to two decades after its launch, the game remains fresh and attracting millions of players are the thousands of mods, mostly free, which generate new ways to interact with him. Not only that: the ability of the game to generate communities makes it essentially a collective game and, a large part, lacking the central narrative. What, beyond its values ​​as a film, makes this Warner bet a considerable achievement: they have turned an experience into a narrative. And successfully. The key to success: the winks. The reason why ‘a Minecraft movie’ has become a success is because it speaks of you to you with the players: overflow memes and tributes to the games that the staunch fans know how to decrypt, of the phrase “As a Child, I Yearned for the mines” to the iconic sound bang of the game, work of C418. And above all, to Chicken Jockey, a apparently harmless meme and is generating an unexpected response among the young audience of the film: disturbances in the movie theaters. A liberating cry. The cry of “Chickn Jockey!” comes from the scene streamer. There is only 5% chances that a zombified character will self -generate on the stage just above a chicken, creating the illusion that he is riding it. That is why it is so weird and is celebrated when it happens in a streamand hence the chain reaction that this character has unleashed when appearing in the film, and that went viral when he was filmed by a spectator, in the first weekend of life of the film, with a mobile. Followed by an explosion of jubilation of the spectators. The chaos. In an unheard of situation (since the time of ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show‘Even the most recent’WICKED‘Public participation in projections is not entirely strange). The Descriptions and Videos of what happens in the rooms are Out -control projectionswith notices to the police and people putting in the fireworks artificial or, of course, chickens. The latest manifestations of the phenomenon have been starring the own Jack Black asking for calm In a surprise appearance in a projection, a New Jersey room warning that they will only allow the assistance of minors if they are accompanied and a poster of disclaimer warning the spectators of the consequences if they do not behave. Cinemas ON FIRE. The subject will still give us to talk, because the box office and success guarantees it. For example, they begin to proliferate 4xd projections Where the Berraco behavior (except for the part of introducing farm animals, dirtying the armchair or that the cinema burns) is more than welcome. At the moment, he leaves criticism in an awkward place when explaining these phenomena, because they are not an extravagance without further ado: they belong to the highest grossing film of the moment. Do we embrace chaos or cry out about the end of culture by moving the spectators of the consequences if they do not behave.
