  1. Death trap: Killing Australian wildlife with everyday items

    "Flying foxes make up two-thirds of all entanglement cases in NSW"

    "But it’s not just flying foxes – entanglements affect hundreds of different species, mostly mammals and birds, including kangaroos, platypus, raptors and gliders....Hungry animals, especially flying foxes, birds and possums, are attracted to flowers and fruits, and get easily caught in “large-aperture” nets, where the mesh size is greater than 5mm. The rule of thumb is that if you can poke a finger through it, it’s not safe for wildlife."

    "Aquatic debris makes up about 10% of entanglement cases, according to NSW wildlife rescue data. Fishing line is probably the most difficult type of litter for platypus to cope with, and causes horrendous injuries – it basically just cuts through the skin.” >>

  3. Fiber optic cables litter the landscape of drone wars
    Birds are forced to use the plastic for their nests

    Discarded fibre-optic cables litter frontline areas

    "Woven from fibre-optic cable and grass, a small ​bird's nest found near the front line of the war in Ukraine shows how the more ‌than four-year-old conflict is reshaping the natural environment, researchers say."

    "Areas along the 1,200-km (746-mile) front line are covered with ultra-thin fibre-optic cables, which are used by Ukrainian and Russian troops to guide aerial attack drones to make them impervious to electronic jamming."

    "The cables, which ​can stretch for 20 km, lie tangled in trees and scattered across fields and on the ​rooftops of towns in Ukraine's frontline regions, glistening in the sunlight like giant spider ⁠web." >>

  5. Week End Reading from TechAptitude!

    Great strides are being made in the effort to take Quantum Networks out of the lab and into the real world.

    Quantum networks hold the potential to enable fundamentally new capabilities, including ultra-secure communication with unbreakable encryption, distributed quantum computing, and hold out the promise of creating a “Quantum Internet”.

  7. Entanglement is an animal welfare issue- Injuries cause prolonged suffering for whales and dolphins – early intervention is crucial

    "Globally, scientists estimate 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises are killed each year due to entanglement or incidental capture (bycatch)."

    "In one recent Australian case, rescuers removed hundreds of metres of fishing line, hooks, rope and buoys from a young whale whose movement and feeding ability had already been severely compromised."

    "Even when animals are successfully disentangled, stress, impaired feeding, chronic pain and severe infection from entanglement injuries may already be irreversible."

    "Rescue is not simply whether the animal is cut free from the net but whether the intervention allows full recovery afterwards." >>

  9. #QuantumPhysics can confirm where someone is located
    #Entanglement can connect the digital world to the physical world
    Scientists have demonstrated a #quantum technique to ensure that someone is in the location they claim to be, physicist #AbigailGookin. Called quantum position verification, the technique is based on the concept of quantum entanglement, in which the fates of two far-flung particles are closely linked.

  11. Fisica Quantistica spiegata semplice: Cos’è e perché cambia il nostro modo di vedere la realtà

    Se vi dicessero che una particella può trovarsi in due posti contemporaneamente, probabilmente pensereste a un film di fantascienza. Oppure a un paradosso impossibile. Eppure, nel mondo infinitamente piccolo degli atomi, degli elettroni e dei fotoni, tutto questo non solo è possibile, ma accade davvero. La Fisica Quantistica nasce proprio da qui: dal tentativo di comprendere un universo nascosto ai nostri occhi, dove la materia può comportarsi come un’onda, l’osservazione può […]

  13. Dim-witted fishing on Sawtell beach leads to entanglement of native bird

    A small strip of coastal bush separates the beach from suburbia. Various wildlife still exists there. The Australian brush turkey (Alectura lathami) and wallabies try to survive in this small patch. Roaming dogs are allowed to chase the shorebirds and marsupials. At the main entry to the beach the native vegetation is eliminated to make way for more commerce and exotic weeds.

  17. Happy #WorldQuantumDay! 🌌
    On April 20, Quantum Observables for Collider Physics 2026 opens at CERN, bringing entanglement, magic, and collider observables closer to the center of high-energy physics. Proud to contribute to this direction through the Theorem 4.3.1 framework. Time to move beyond correlations and start mapping quantum geometry. 🚀

    2026 may be the year theory truly meets experiment. Entanglement Dominance should be tested not as a fragile fluke, but as a robust geometric feature of the vacuum. From ⁴He* BEC platforms at ANU to virtual boson signatures at CERN, the message is getting harder to ignore.
    Check the math and tools here:

  21. 3/n... #Entanglement then there could be some operator that survives the ambient thermal bath, gives up some n bits of information, then collapses. In this context the experiment is indistinguishable from many other experiments in #QuantumMechanics and #QuantumInformation. If we were talking about #Precognition no one needs to know
