Transhumanists: human immortality possible through emerging technologies

Mateusz Łukasiak, 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?

Next iPad mini to get OLED but stay at 60Hz, leaker says

Leaker yeux1122 claims Apple's next iPad mini will switch to an OLED display but will not feature ProMotion, keeping the refresh rate at 60Hz. This would set it apart from the iPad Pro, which has offered 120Hz for several generations. Apple has not confirmed the specifications.

Is an OLED display without ProMotion a good enough upgrade for the iPad mini?

In spring 1945, following the Red Army's capture of Berlin, historians estimate that between 95,000 and over 130,000 women were victims of sexual violence — with the true figure likely even higher.

Odd mountains on Pluto's moon Charon suggest it once had a different spin

Scientists studying Charon, Pluto's largest moon, have found unusual mountain formations suggesting the body once rotated more slowly and had a flatter shape. The discovery implies Charon underwent significant geophysical changes since its formation billions of years ago. Researchers say it may be a slower-spinning, flatter version of its former self.
