put to play Pokémon

The Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget had an especially interesting intelligence definition. He said that “intelligence is what you use when you don’t know what to do.” That can be a key element of a new trend to measure the ability of artificial intelligence. One that puts AI to play Pokémon. How intelligent is artificial intelligence? There are already evidence that allows assessing the AI ​​capacity when solving scientific, mathematical or programming problems. All this helps to “measure” the progress of these models, but in the face of all these techniques there is a unique idea: to measure the aforementioned capacity of AI playing Pokémon. Claude began the trend. Those responsible for Anthropic had the occurrence of trying How would your AI model behave, Claude 3.7, when playing Pokémon Red. So they used their automatic navigation tool to see how they used their abilities to play the video game. They created A twitch channel And there is even a follow -up on how he is going In Reddit. And now Gemini Pro collects the glove. A developer who has no affiliation with Google has decided to apply the same idea, but with Gemini Pro 2.5 experimental as an AI model to test it. On your Twitch channel He is showing a game of Pokémon Blue (he was the one who knew the most this developer) executing himself in an emulator of the Game Boy Advance. Who wins? At the moment Gemini Pro 2.5 experimental seems to be doing something better. Claude was stuck in a game phase a couple of timesfor example, which has forced to start its games again. Gemini seems to be advancing without as many problems, although he does not play in the same way as Claude and for example has access to a minimapa that according to its creator compensates for one of Gemini’s limitations, which does not have automatic navigation tools such as Claude. Why Pokémon for Game Boy. The Pokémon version for the Game Boy Advance that is being used in these experiments is perfect to evaluate those capabilities of the LLM for several reasons. For example, it is a video game in turn, allowing the “thinking” of its next movement. But it is also a graphically simple game, which makes them easier for these models “see” the screen and understand what happens at every moment without this being very expensive at the resources level. A surprisingly useful benchmark. This way of evaluating how intelligent an AI can be as revealing as programming or mathematics tests. Or more, even. If someone gives a 10 -year -old boy a Nintendo Switch, that child will learn to play any game in minutes. However, the IAS often have it especially difficult in this scenario, and end up executing illegal movements. No memorization. Many of the benchmarks used to measure the ability of AI models is based on their “memory.” When they solve a problem it is normally because the solution is part of their training data set, or there was already a similar problem solved and can “replicate” or “regurgit”. In this approach the proposal is something different, and demands some ability to adapt to AI models. ARC-AGI AND THE SNAKE GAME. In February, the ARC Prize Foundation, which develops an equally striking benchmark for AI models, experienced with another video game simple: a version of mythical snake that faced various AI models to see how they behaved. The reasoning models were the clear winners (78% of victories), and again this showed them the relevance of this type of video games to improve AI models in the future. The AI ​​learn to adapt. As we were saying, this type of benchmarks are especially interesting because they allow us to check if an AI model is able to adapt to new situations and challenges and overcome them. It is something that companies such as Deepmind have been doing with some of their developments for some time, and it is certainly an interesting alternative to explore for the developers of these models.

In 1953 the United States decided to put a naval base in Rota. Now the installation looks at your future with uncertainty

by

When Europe spoke weeks ago of rearme There were a series of news that attest to the situation. First it was Germany through the Almighty Rheinmetall and With Volkswagen In the “helping” equation, then even Spain with a component factory in the Basque Country. In France, a Cold War Plan to “diversify” your nuclear umbrella. And if none of these proposals went ahead, Europe would always have the Naval Rota base in Spain. Until now. Uncertainty at a key point. The story was told this morning The Financial Times. In the quiet coastal town of Rota, to the south of Spain, the imposing presence of American destroyers breaks the idyllic postcard. This old agricultural town houses today The naval base most important in the United States in Europe, the key piece of the antimile shield that protects the continent. It happens that something seems to have changed this part for a while. He had promised a sixth boat in 2022, but Donald Trump’s re -election has fired the alarms about an imminent American troops cutin line with its narrative that Europe must stop depending from Washington for your safety. In numbers, this “restlessness” reaches the close ones 84,000 deployed soldiers In at least 38 European bases, all inheritance of World War II, but whose continuity is now questioned. Broken, symbol and vulnerability. Rota’s base was the fruit of A signed pact In 1953 between Dwight Eisenhower and Franco. That agreement today is a complex of strategic dimensions that includes air track, three docks and the largest weapons and fuel installation of the pentagon in Europe. Its location, near the Strait of Gibraltar, makes it a fundamental node for Project military power towards the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East. In addition, its official status as a Spanish naval installation “Joint use” It forces the United States to coordinate certain movements with Madrid, which adds a layer of complexity to its operation. However, the FT said that for many US military, broken is considered little less than A dream destination Due to its high quality of life and a local economy deeply influenced by the base: two thirds of the city’s economic activity depend on it, and Spanish companies such as Navantia maintain millionaire contracts With the United States Navy. The aircraft carrier of the Spanish Navy Dedal The Trump factor. But as we said, the idyllic postcard seems to be living an era of uncertainty with Trump’s re -election. The contradictory signals from Washington have sown restlessness. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio described as “hysteria” Rumors about possible cuts, Defense Secretary Pete Heghseth warned that American protection It would not be eternal. Worry. The concern is that, before any disagreement (here the fan is broad, from commercial reprisals, European support to Ukraine or the rejection of geopolitical proposals such as the Acquisition of Greenland), Trump can decide to drastically reduce military deployment in Europe, even unilaterally. The tycoon now He has shown disdain for the historical commitments of NATO and has frequently folvado the Scarce spending in defense of its European partners, being Spain One of the most lagging. In addition, President Pedro Sánchez has confronted Trump on various fronts, since his recent Posture about China until His sentence to the Israeli offensive in Gaza, which raises the political risk for the base of rota. Europe without shield. If we stick to numbers, Rota base currently houses 2,800 American soldiersincluding units at sea, and its fleet of destroyers (endowed with these systems to intercept ballistic missiles) represents a mobile capacity without equivalent in Europe. Although fixed pitchers from Poland and Romania could assume part of the Antimisile shield, the European Navy lacks A real alternative to the power of US ships parked in Spain. Hence NATO, although nominally owner of the system, depends largely on Military infrastructure of the United States for collective defense. The European strategy, for now, has consisted of gaining military independence gradually, but is still far from being able to fill the void that would leave an abrupt American replication. Again, That rearme acquires more importance. Alternatives: Morocco. In the face of the possibility of a break, The FT had that some voices suggest that the United States could transfer part of its operations To Moroccocountry that reinforced its link with the Trump administration by normalizing relations with Israel in 2020. With less politically compromised facilities and greater diplomatic harmony, Morocco would be outlined as a possible logistical replacement for Rota. Moreover, apparently, from The Foreign Policy Research Institute They warn that, if the Spanish government overestimates its strategic value or underestimate the level of irritation which can generate in Trump, the consequences could be immediate and deep. Uncertain future. So things, and although for now the base It continues to expand and receiving investments, the rumors of cuts fly over the installation. The American media commented that American residents in rota try Keep calm And, meanwhile, Europe observes with restlessness a situation that transcends local geopolitics and raises an existential dilemma for the continental defense itself. The transition to a greater self -sufficiency European defensive, now, it seems more pronounced than ever, but while that mature or becomes effective transformation, the shadow of an unexpected turn under Trump’s second presidency looms over the Cadiz coast. At stake, the key piece of the antimile shield that protects the old continent.

This 1,000 hp electric supercar is a wheel vacuum. And to demonstrate it they have put it to do the pine

by

“It is possibly one of the fastest cars that you have ever tried in curves. It is As if we had a magnet that hits the ground and allows curves to be made at speeds so unusual that even our body has to adapt. “ These are the words with which our partner Héctor Ares described the sensations transmitted by the Porsche Taycan In your first test. He described the electric car almost as one of those Scalextric cars to those who have not removed the magnet that sticks it to the raíl through which it circulates. This is because the Porsche Taycan uses what the German brand calls Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA)an active aerodynamic game in which the air is channeled through the low of the vehicle, is redirected where you want (brakes, for example) and next to the rear wing helps generate load. This load is the one that hits the car to the ground, which makes it especially fast in the curves. When a car has very little loadvery fast in a straight line circulates, it can reach very high speeds but In curve it is more unstable. When he has a lot of load, his advance is more difficult and needs greater power to reach the same speed. Instead, its passage through curve is very fast. In Icola, Formula 1 pilots use cars with a lot of aerodynamic load since the curves are constant. In Monza, on the contrary, cars with very little load are used because the lines are very long and the curves are relatively slow. Of course, they must fight with the famous parabolic of the end that puts a brake to convert cars into authentic rockets. But what happens when active aerodynamics is used is taken to the extreme? A car that is a vacuum cleaner To understand in a very simple way how active aerodynamics works, it is enough to observe the functioning of the DRS in Formula 1. A formula 1 car has an aerodynamic load selected by its engineers depending on the circuit in which it is going to compete. This takes into account, as we said, the curves and lines of the circuit. But when a pilot opens the DRS, the mobile part of the rear wing moves up. In this way, let more air pass, lose load (and resistance) and the car advances faster. When the pilot stops, the wing falls and has more load to pass the curve at a faster speed. Let’s say that has “more magnet” on the ground. In the 70s, active aerodynamics was prohibited in the competition but Colin Chapman took out an ace under his sleeve with the Brabham BT46b. He put a fan on his back, claiming that he served to cool the stressed engine. However, when it was launched, it generated a very strong aerodynamic load and allowed the car to a very high speed the curve. It was like a Scalextric car with a magnet. The McMurtry Spéirling putting face down That is what the McMurtry Spéirling. This electric car has become a sensation because combining the advantages of the electric car with a lightweight weight has managed to approach what we could expect from a rocket with wheels. This video in which the McMurtry Spéirling is seen removing the stickers to a Ferrari Laferrari already went viral. And it is that the electric one beats anyone because it manages to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.4 seconds. A figure impossible to reach if it is not with an electric motor and a very deep management of traction control. It measures 3.5 meters long, 1.7 meters wide and 1.1 meters high and with its barely 1,000 kg of weight He takes out all possible performance to a 60 kWh battery. With her, she managed to get the record record to the Goodwood hill, a narrow circuit and that hinders the passage of speaking engines that need wider structures. See McMurtry Spéirling appear It is like seeing a vacuum cleaner working at full power. So much that to full performance it generates a deafening noise of 120 dB, something comparable to the take off from a plane seen 25 meters. But the truly striking, as our partners explain Motorpasion They are the 2,000 kg of load that it can generate. Given its weight content, those 2,000 kg of load allow you to make the pine. Its creators have wanted to demonstrate To what extent you can take performance to your system in a different way: sticking it to the roof. Boca down, the car generates so much aerodynamic load that can be kept without falling to the ground, only using its soil effect. He gets it because, just like Chapman’s invention in Formula 1, he has A turbine on demand. This Turbine sucks the air Under the car and stick it to the ground (in this case to the roof), which makes it keep upside down as if it had a magnet. It is the same as it costs to move more a full power vacuum than one or two degrees below. At the moment, we know that only 100 lucky ones can enjoy a car that recently beat the Top Gear circuit record in more than three seconds. A record that had Fernando Alonso’s Renault R24the car with which he ran in 2004 and that mounted a brutal v10 that also sounded spectacular … although different from this (yes, it can be said) aspirator with wheels.

Put solar panels in space has never been profitable, but there is something that motivates the current interest: its military use

by

The old idea of ​​collecting energy from the sun from space to transmit it uninterrupted to Earth has always collided with the huge costs and technological barriers that have prevented their deployment. Until now. A global interest. Governments and companies around the world seem to have a renewed interest in space solar energy. The drastic drop in launch costs, thanks to the emergence of reusable rockets such as Spacex, could have cleared the main economic obstacle from the equation. The necessary technology has also matured in parallel: solar panels are lighter and more efficient, and wireless energy transmission (microwave or laser) is more advanced. The same with robotics, which will be necessary to assemble the stations in orbit. The military factor. As with any renewable project, the energy transition and emission commitments are the engine of this new effort. But behind the recent interests of the Chinese government or the pentagon there is something else: the military potential of space solar energy. “The military utility of transmitting energy to land, aerial or maritime units is obvious,” He said to Spacenews Darpa’s tactical technology project manager Paul Jaffe. Transporting fuel to remote places with tank airplanes can be a usual practice, but “it is not a practical way to bring energy where we need it for defense purposes.” In addition to DARPA, who has conversations with space solar energy startups and invests in the development of long -distance wireless energy transmission, the United States Air Force and Navy are also in garlic. Pentagon projects. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFR) actively develops space solar technology through its “Space Solar Incremental Demonstrations and Research” program. Its flagship mission “Arachne” will prove in orbit a sandwich panel that converts sunlight into radiofrequency energy to transmit it to a terrestrial receptor. Led by Northrop Grumman, it is scheduled for this year with the explicit objective of providing energy to the forces and reducing the dependence of fuel convoys, which are more vulnerable. For its part, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) integrated a module called PRAM into the X-37B secret space plane to prove the conversion of solar energy to microwave. Now the project is part of the space force. What can we expect. Military interest is an important catalyst, and possibly one of the motivations behind the gigantic project of the Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CASC), which will display its first satellites in low orbit by 2028 and in geostationary orbit for 2030. But in the coming years we will also see all kinds of commercial and space agencies, including the European Space Agency with its Solaris initiative, which focuses on viability studies. Despite these progress, the challenges are still considerable. The two major doubts are profitability, in the case of commercial efforts, which will compete with the renewable energies deployed on land, increasingly profitable despite their intermittency. And security, which depends on the fact that you are issued at distances of hundreds or tens of thousands of kilometers are very precise. Maybe let’s see some “fried” birds along the way.

will put tariffs of 84% to all imports from the US

by

Yesterday Donald Trump fulfilled his threat and The 104% tariff formalized China. The Asian giant has not been intimidated and has just announced his response, which is remarkable and expected: US imports in China will have tariffs that pass from 34% to 84%. It is a spectacular and apparently equivalent increase that the Trump government announced, but it is important to contemplate the news with perspective. China responds. The Chinese Office of the State Council for Tariffs Commission Indian that tariffs in goods imported from the United States will become 84% instead of 34% previously announced. These tariffs will be activated on April 10. If you go up, I too. This Chinese counterattack in the commercial war unleashed by the United States is a clear response to the increase announced yesterday by the Trump administration, which indicated that the products imported from China would have tariffs that would go from 54% to 104%. These tariffs are activated today, April 9. According to the Chinese Ministry of Economy, “The US practice of increasing tariffs to China is a mistake after another, which severely violates China’s legitimate rights and interests and seriously damages the multilateral trade -based trade system.” But the US matters much more than China. The problem, however, is more serious for China. Data from the US Commercial Representative Office reveal That in 2024 the United States exported goods worth 143.5 billion dollars, while importing goods worth 438.9 billion dollars. A worrying takes and daca. China buys much less than it sells to the US, which makes this tariff adjustment, although significant, does not affect the US economy so much. Scott Besent, US Treasury Secretary, explained In Fox Business that “I can tell him that this climb is loser for them.” However, this only contributes to this dangerous domino effect whose consequences are unpredictable. The bags tremble. This new episode of the global trade war raises new devastating effects on the bags of the entire planet. We have seen it In Taiwan’s bag And now this announcement begins to cause downward reactions in the merccands. As indicated in fifitionsthe Ibex 35 already drops 3.5%, in Asia the Japan Nikkei has fallen 3.78% and now it remains to be seen how they receive this news on Wall Street.

The international wine market was already broken, but a single idea has put it against the ropes: 200% tariffs

by

13%. That is the magical figure because, given the uncertainty of what will happen to the tariffs, that is what the “main consumer country in the world“For Spanish wine. In 2024, to get an idea, they were sent 97 million liters valued at almost 400 million of euros. That’s why The announcement of a 200% tariff and the letter of the United States wine alliance (USWTA) recommending “Sorted to US companies that They suspend all the shipments of wine, liquors and beer from the EU “has fallen like a jug of cold water in a sector that was already very scrambled. And that has not even been a big surprise. In December 2024, after Trump’s choice, Exports fired 23%. And, during these months, many Spanish wineries have been protecting preventively anticipating the sending of reserves to American soil. What has surprised has been the entity of the coup: no one expected a 200% tariff and, although was suspended, As I pointed out Jose Luis Lapuente, general director of the Denomination of Origin of Rioja, “much more harmful than tariffs itself is uncertainty, not knowing.” That is precisely what is behind the USWTA letter: despite its efforts so that tariffs do not apply to goods that are already in transit, the US government has refused to give a clear answer what it will happen. If companies do not suspend shipments, they could meet huge losses overnight. “Deep concern” Last Thursday, the Brussels Regions Committee hosted an emergency meeting of the intergroup of wine to ask the commission to “take out the wine from the tariff war.” And, a priori, it seems that the pressures have had an effect because the union left out of his countermeasures to wine, sparkling and the American bourbon. In this context, it is not only to avoid more reprisals from the White House and prevent European wine sales from collapseing in the US, it is about Protect huge investments that the sector (and union) have done in the North American market during the last decade. “The tariffs announced by the US are totally unjustified in the particular case of the wine if we consider that currently the tariff difference between the rates that apply the EU and the US is minimal,” reasoned the general director of the Spanish Federation of Wine, José Luis Benítez. However, we have already seen in recent days that the Trump administration strategy is difficult to understand. In fact, it is a measure that does not convince anyone … “This will be great for wine and champagne businesses in the United States,” Trump wrote when he threatened with the 200%tariff. However, not all American producers They agree. Because, although it is true that the price increases can ‘rekindle’ the interest in the broths of the country, we talk about a fragile sector, overloaded and very touched by the fires and droughts of the main producing area, California. Not only that. As John Williams explained at CNNfounder of Frog’s Leap, a winery in the Californian Valley of Napa, US wineries are just a very small part of the commercial chain. If tariffs harm distributors, the problem will be rapidly generalized. In the end, “we all depend on the same distributors. The health of these companies is important for wineries around the world,” said. … and that can become counterproductive. Because, the American tariff system has peculiarities that can end up running the market completely. The clearest example is that “the US customs and border service. offers reimbursements of certain rights, taxes and fees paid for imported items, provided that the company exports similar articles. ” That is, the big distribution platforms can end up flooding the most expensive European products market as a strategy to compensate for the price of tariffs. Although, in reality, the background problem is another. That world wine is going through a very bad time. In September 2023, Luigi Moio, president of the International Wine Organization, climbed into a gallery in the heart of La Rioja and said “Vineyard’s start was something inevitable.” And it’s not just La Rioja, of course. In France (which can serve us as proxy of what happens in the international sector), already It has been assumed That 100,000 hectares of vineyards will have to be started – in fact, they have launched a plan to start about 30,000. It is the only way that the sector finds for a devilish situation: that the sector does not stop growing, but These floods “They are not enough to cover production costs and farmers’ needs.” And in that context, tariffs arrive. Are we facing a? Image | Chuttersnap | Mika Baumeister Xataka | We already knew that Spanish wine was on its way to collapse. What we didn’t know was that drought was going to accelerate it so much

North Africa was outside the bronze age map. A metallic waste has been put in the center of history

by

If we look at the map From the Bronze Age, we observe that much of Europe and the Middle East are the protagonists of the period of the Ancient bronze. For a long time it was estimated that Egypt was the only focus of Metallurgical development In Africa during the Bronze age. For years, we thought that the rest of the territories were empty and it was with the Phoenicians when settlements and metal development began. We were wrong. And young archaeologists have shown that Morocco was more connected to other Mediterranean regions of what we thought. And the Kack Kouch settlement is the test. The Phoenicians. The Maghreb was an absent zone in the debates about late prehistory in the Mediterranean region. It was known that he received some influences from the European bronze, but they were pieces, because they did not produce their own metallurgy until the colonization of the Phoenicians. Morocco arrived around 800 AC, founding colonies such as Lixusbut it turns out that there were already stable settlements on the Mediterranean coasts of Africa. In North Africa, the representation is Egypt … and it ended Kach Kouch location Kach Kouch. In 1988, a team formed by Moroccan and Spanish researchers discovered the settlement of Kach Kouch. It was an important finding, since the survey made in 1992 revealed that, at some point between the VIII or VI ac centuries, there had erected a half -hectare camp with cabins built with mud. It was probably an agricultural people and the researchers said that, probably, Kach Kouch had been founded by Phoenician sailors to control access routes to the Mediterranean from the Lau River. Why the Phoenicians? Because the remains found belonged to amphorae of this culture that would have served to transport wine, oil or wheat. Frozen. After the 1992 excavation, the archaeological site had not been analyzed again, until now. He Kach Kouch Archaeological Projectled by researchers from the National Institute of Archeology of Morocco, set out to reach the bottom of the settlement. Literally. The SE development In two phases – in 2021 and 2022 – and, although the archaeological interest was present in both, one of the objectives was that the students of the institute be formed in archaeological methodology. What they found was far beyond what would be expected of training practices: Kach Kouch was not a Phoenician settlement, but had centuries there. Through drones, differential GPS, 3D models and radiocarbon dating, the team of researchers discovered that three phases of occupation had been given in the settlement. Occupation phases | Image of The Conversation, H. Benattia Ancestral occupation. These occupation phases were between 2200 AC and 600 BC and the researchers They have isolated The three phases due to the remains they found. First phase: Between 2200 and 2000 AC the remains are scarce, such as ceramic fragments without decorating, a flint lasc and bovine bones. It could have been a sporadic occupation, but existing. Second phase: Between 1,300 or 900 AC the occupation would have already been stable with circular housing and warehouses, evidencing a sedentary society. Kach Kouch would be agricultural, mainly, due to the silos and grinding stones found. For the remains, it is estimated that they cultivated barley and wheat that complemented with the breeding of sheep, goats and cows. Third phase: Between 800 and 600 AC here and the Phoenicians have played a role. This external cultural influence brought elements such as ceramics to lathe and iron tools, which were mixed with local architecture and stone buildings. From left to right: plant remains, carved bones, flint lacquers The metal. Therefore, the new discovery indicates that, centuries before the arrival of the Phoenicians, Kach Koach was already a stable settlement. But there is a key piece that reveals that the first bronze object found in the region could have arrived through the broader exchange networks of the Mediterranean: among the important recent discoveries, a bronze fragment dated between 1110 and 920 ac This is the oldest bronze evidence in the Maghreb area and, although the phrase is very manida, it is something that changes everything in the archeology of North Africa because the fragment is a waste of the function in a mold, but it is the oldest bronze object known in North Africa if we do not have Egypt into account. In the image on the right, we see a rest of an amphora. On the right, objects A a are grinding tools. E a g are the metal remains so relevant The Phoenician influence. Hanza Benattia is one of the authors of the study, as well as the director of the Kach Kouch archaeological project and, as explained in The conversationevidently the Phoenicians played a role in this story. During the VIII and VII AC centuries, the inhabitants of the settlement had the same material, architectural and economic culture they had during the previous phase, but contact with the Phoenicians introduced new cultural practices. “For example, circular housing coexisted with other squares made of stone and framework of wood and mud, combining phenistic and local techniques,” says Benattia. In addition, he points out that products such as vine and olive tree began to be cultivated, and that was when they began to use ceramics made around and the use of iron objects. This is the first thing that was found in 1992 and for what was considered that the settlement was Phoenician. However, the archaeologist points out that, towards 600 BC, the settlement was abandoned. There is no evidence of violence, so social or economic changes would have pushed the inhabitants to other more prosperous close settlements. To look for. It is curious how a simple waste from a material that should not be there changes the historical perception not only of a specific place, but of a region. As we said, the Magreb was excluded from the conversation about the late prehistory of the Mediterranean, but as Benattia points out, this discovery “not only … Read more

His first data revalidates Einstein and put the dark matter on the map

by

The Euclid telescope, launched in 2023 by the European Space Agency, has finished overwhelming its first great task. Designed to make a map in detail of the universe To help us understand dark matter and energy, Euclid has been analyzing three regions of heaven from point L2 of Lagrange. Despite being just the First mission data setwhich will extend at least until 2030, the European space telescope has already detected 26 million galaxies, some of which are 10.5 billion light years. Now the team, aided by volunteers and learning algorithms for reinforcement, has begun to publish the most complete and detailed map of the distribution of objects of the universe, which includes huge clusters of galaxies, bright quasars fed by supermassive black holes and gravitational lenses that divert the light of farthest objects. A first look at the Cosmic Network A deep field image of the Euclid space telescope Galaxies are not randomly distributed. They form a structure called Cosmic Network, similar to a web, whose filaments are made of ordinary matter and dark matter. Dark matter does not emit light, but affects the way galaxies are formed and evolved. Euclid accurately measures the shape, size and distance of galaxies to understand how the cosmic network is organized. He map that is makingwhose first three pieces have just completed, will be key to finding out what dark matter and dark energy are really. We know that dark matter exists because it gravitationally affects galaxies (it turns them faster than expected). And we know that there is a dark energy responsible for accelerating the universe. But they are a mystery. Different types of galaxies classified by human volunteers and the AI ​​of ESA Since its deployment, Euclid has sent 100 GB of data daily. It is impossible to manually classify each image, so scientists resorted to artificial intelligence and citizen science to classify 380,000 galaxies. 10,000 human volunteers collaborate in galaxyzoo.org To teach a so -called Zoobot to identify the different forms of galaxies. The volunteers classify the objects (“spirals”, “with arms”) and their responses are used to reset the AI ​​or readjust the accuracy of the algorithm. 5,000 strong gravitational lenses Gravitational lenses detected by Euclid One of the aspects that most excite scientists in the first Euclid data set are gravitational lenses. Euclid has already detected about 5,000 possible strong gravitational lenses, very rare objects that form obvious visual effects, such as arches or Einstein rings. These curvatures of space-time, predicted by the theory of general relativity, allow to observe distant objects that would otherwise be invisible, helping to understand how dark matter is distributed. It is expected that at the end of the mission, Euclid has identified about 100,000 strong lenses, multiplying the amount we currently know. Questions to solve The Euclid space telescope had a complicated deployment due to the accumulation of ice in its lens, but the ESA engineers managed to solve any setback. The results published today demonstrate the very high sensitivity of the telescope. During the next few years, Euclid will observe between 30 and 50 times these regions of the cosmos, accumulating more and more information and discovering new galaxies and phenomena. Added to the observations of the newly released NASA Spherex Telescopethe information we will have of the universe will increase exponentially. With the most detailed map of the universe, scientists will try to understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy, which make up 95% of the universe, and how they relate to each other, while solving other transcendental questions: what is the structure and history of the cosmic network? How has the expansion of the universe changed over time? Is the theory of the gravity of Einstein complete, or does it need large -scale modifications?

The five puppets that put the archeology of El Salvador

by

For a long time, El Salvador has been a curious case within the Pre -Columbian archeology In Latin America. We considered that I was less Connected with Mesoamerica that its neighbors and we assume that it was not so integrated in commercial networks in the region. All that has just been put upside down due to a discovery of the most curious: Five ceramic figurines with interchangeable heads of about 2,400 years ago. Complications. The archaeological photo of El Salvador is curious if we take into account the pre -Columbian remains found in the surrounding countries because, really, we have found little compared. Not because there are no remains or because researchers do not want to perform the task, but for a series of Complications historical Lack of human and economic resources, a lack of awareness of the importance of these remains, institutional instability when facing measures, looting of archaeological sites, civil war and their degradation due to the passage of time are elements that have supposed a challenge for this research of the country’s archaeological vestiges. Amen of Other priorities. The dolls. There were simply other priorities before archaeological research. It is something that has changed these last decades and, fruit From this, new approaches and investigations have emerged to rebuild the country’s past. The most recent is the one that has ended with the finding of the aforementioned ceramic figurines. A group of archaeologists from the University of Warsaw gave With them at the top of the largest pyramid in San Isidro in 2022, but it is now when they have finished analyzing them. In a study Published in Antiquity, they estimate that they date between 300 and 400 BC and researchers believe that the place of discovery was used as a funeral deposit. Interestingly, they did not find human remains, but taking into account the characteristics of the dolls, between 10 and 30 centimeters high, the human remains would have been in the background. Disturbing heads. The reason is that three of the figurines have articulated heads, similar to the most current dolls. Not only can they be exchanged, but they have that torso structure with a kind of application that would make neck to place the head. Four represent women of different ages, one would represent a man and the most peculiar, however, it is the expression of their faces. “One of the most striking characteristics is its dramatic facial expression,” says Jan Szymański, one of the researchers. “Change according to the angle at which it is observed. Views from above, show anger or disdain. From below, they seem scared, ”continues the archaeologist. The male face shows tattoos or spherifications Message. Szymański and his team are clear that those faces were carved with that changing expression conscientiously. “It is a conscious design, perhaps destined to enrich the range of ritual interpretations in which they could have been used,” he continues. Because yes, they consider that these puppets were used in important rituals, possibly public, in that upper area of ​​the pyramid. Personalization. And something that reinforces the theory is that the figures have protuberances and gaps in which strings could have secured to move them at a distance, as if they were puppets. In addition, they have specifically designed areas – the lobes of the ears, for example – in which to place accessories such as jade ornaments. Some of the figures are more “neutral” and could have been customizable to assume different identities through interchangeable garments Representation of the position in which they found themselves Theater or something deeper? Researchers handle a hypothesis beyond the public ritual. It is not clear, but it is possible that these puppets were “portraits” of real individuals due to the position in which they were found. The masculine and two female were mouth and could represent a ruler and their current wives. Another female figure was found face down and could have represented a deceased first wife and the smallest figure a daughter, also upside down. But well, to theorize, researchers also claim that they could simply comply with divine or idealized figures. Connection. Unfortunately, there are pieces of the puzzle that are still missing and that correspond to that void or delay in knowledge of the Salvadoran pre -Columbian society compared to others that we know much more (Or we believe). That of the Maya, for example. What researchers are also clear is that “this discovery contradicts the prevailing notion on the cultural backwardness or isolation of El Salvador in ancient times,” says Szymański. The reason is that, apart from the puppets, other artifacts were found such as Jade pendants that have similarities with other objects from Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. This would demonstrate that there were commercial and cultural connections between societies, revealing the “existence of dynamic and long -range communities capable of exchanging ideas with very distant places,” says the researcher. Thus, findings such as these ceramic dolls may further encourage the archaeological research of El Salvador, since it is a key to the preservation of the country’s history and cultural identification.
