RFK Jr. tried to spend $5 billion chasing a long-debunked vaccine theory

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly sought to direct $5 billion toward investigating a long-debunked theory linking vaccines to harm, according to a new report. The proposal was among several unorthodox public-health initiatives Kennedy has advanced since taking office under President Trump. The move has drawn sharp criticism from medical and scientific communities.

Should the government spend $5 billion investigating debunked vaccine theories?

Obsidian lost 25% of staff and has been mandated to make more Fallout games

Xbox's massive layoffs hit Obsidian Entertainment hard, cutting 25% of its workforce. The studio has simultaneously been given a mandate to produce more Fallout games. Bethesda, working on The Elder Scrolls 6, lost fewer employees but the cuts still sparked fear among remaining staff.

Should Obsidian be making more Fallout games instead of its own projects?

Iran's 1979 revolution: oil boom, Islamic fundamentalism and the fall of the Shah

Iran's oil boom of the 1970s brought rapid modernisation that neither society nor authorities were ready for. Reforms that people neither understood nor welcomed threatened traditional ways of life, fuelling the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. The resulting revolution toppled the Shah, while the myth of American culpability for bringing his enemies to power persists to this day.

Do the US bear responsibility for Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution?

Astronauts take first human X-rays in space โ€” and they worked

After 65 years of human spaceflight, astronauts have successfully taken the first X-rays of a human body in space. The experiment worked as intended, opening new possibilities for diagnosing injuries and illnesses during long-duration missions. Until now, this basic diagnostic tool had been unavailable in orbit.

Should space agencies prioritise medical equipment on space stations?

US June CPI Inflation Falls Sharply as Fuel Prices Drop

US consumer price inflation (CPI) fell notably in June compared to May, driven primarily by lower fuel prices. The data came in better than market expectations, signalling a possible easing of price pressures in the world's largest economy.

Will the US inflation drop prompt the Fed to cut interest rates?

Eating Lots of Chili Peppers Linked to Higher Esophageal Cancer Risk

A major research review found that people who ate the most chili peppers had a substantially higher risk of esophageal cancer. The link to stomach and colorectal cancers was less clear. Researchers stress the findings show an association, not proof of causation, and call for more studies to clarify whether moderate consumption carries similar risks.

Should people limit chili pepper consumption due to cancer risk?

Scammer targets empty Robinhood account โ€” but what's the point?

A Robinhood account holder reports that a scammer has been repeatedly attempting to change the email address on their empty account. The owner has been ignoring the attempts, puzzled about what a criminal could gain from an account with no funds. Security experts note that even empty brokerage accounts can be exploited for identity theft or used as a launchpad for further phishing attacks.

Should you close an empty brokerage account if you're not using it?

New novel 'Star Wars: Legacy' bridges The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker gap

Nearly eight years after The Rise of Skywalker, author Madeleine Roux's new novel Star Wars: Legacy bridges the narrative gap between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. The book expands on underdeveloped storylines from the sequel trilogy, focusing on Rey and the Resistance. It is part of Lucasfilm's ongoing publishing initiative for the Star Wars franchise.

Stephen Wolfram: objective reality exists only because others observe it too

Physicist Stephen Wolfram argues that the universe is built from simple computational rules, with space forming a vast network of tiny "atoms of space" that constantly update to produce time, gravity and quantum mechanics. He introduces the concept of the Ruliad โ€” the space of all possible computations. Wolfram concludes that objective reality may only exist because multiple observers share the same experience of it.

Could Wolfram's computational theory replace existing unified theories of physics?

Transhumanists: human immortality possible through emerging technologies

Mateusz ลukasiak, president of the Polish Transhumanist Society, argues that coming decades will bring radical improvements in healthy life expectancy. Transhumanists discuss several scenarios for achieving immortality, including some that raise serious ethical concerns. Some concepts involve such deep human modification that the question of whether humanity itself would be preserved becomes central.

Should humanity pursue biological immortality?
