Last Christmas, George Michael gave us his heart, the very next day, Ryan Reynolds gave it away, and this year, to save us from tears, Rob McElhenney gave it to someone special.Actors and friends Rob and Ryan recreated Wham’s album covers, styled to look like George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, as they promoted Wrexham, the UK football (soccer) team they own together.Taking to his Instagram page, followed by 1.7 million people, Rob posted two hilarious Wham-inspired photos which he captioned: “WREXHAM!”, as a play on…

In a development that seems to be straight out of Christopher Nolan's Inception, scientists and researchers have discovered that false memories can be implanted by showing people deepfaked clips of movie remakes that were never actually made…

(Photo by Hollywood Critics Association/Getty Images for the Hollywood Critics Association) March 2020 was not a good month. The beginning of the COVID pandemic saw the world thrown into chaos and an uncertain future. Fortunately, Gal Gadot was on the case, deciding that a video of her millionaire celebrity friends singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” would cheer everyone up. As it turned out, the world wasn’t exactly enthused about rich people telling them “imagine no possessions” and that “there’s no heaven” when…

One of the main questions surrounding humanity’s next giant leap into deep space is whether humans can thrive on missions far from Earth. A new theory says yes, but only in environments modeled deeply after our own planet.Astronomers Could Soon Get Warnings When SpaceX Satellites Threaten Their ViewFather-daughter research duo Morgan Irons of Cornell University and Lee G. Irons from the Norfolk Institute dubthe idea “pancosmorio,” a word that means “all word limit,” in a paper published in Frontiers in Astronomy and…

The success of deep space missions may rely on one massive accomplishment, a few scientists have claimed. According to father-daughter research duo Morgon and Lee G. Irons, missions to other planets will require us to recreate Earth’s ecosystems, gravity, and oxygen to survive. In a new paper published in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, the duo argues that humans will need a “self-restoring, Earth-like, natural ecosystem” to succeed during these missions. We’ve already seen research on the…

A team of physicists has recreated a classic experiment in particle physics with a dimensional twist, by performing it in time instead of just space. In the process, they showcased the utility of a unique material for future experiments.First Full-Color Images From Webb Space TelescopeThe researchers redesigned the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 and demonstrateda curious trait of light: that it can behave both as a particle and a wave.The original experiment tested how light moved through…

Epic Games’ new Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) toolset has only been out for two days, but the company is already having to threaten permanent bans for creators making content that violates copyright. That even goes for violating content that creators post about on social media and content that they aren’t going to actually publish.“All content in Fortnite must adhere to Fortnite’s game rating, Fortnite Island Creator Rules and intellectual property and DMCA guidelines,” Epic wrote in a blog post on Friday. “Those who…

Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, is one of the most advanced tools for understanding how we think. As a person in an fMRI scanner completes various mental tasks, the machine produces mesmerizing and colorful images of their brain in action. Looking at someone’s brain activity this way can tell neuroscientists which brain areas a person is using but not what that individual is thinking, seeing or feeling. Researchers have been trying to crack that code for decades—and now, using artificial intelligence to…

A player in The Sims 4 has recreated Bill’s town from the third episode of HBO‘s The Last Of Us adaptation – check it out below. The build was created by YouTuber Isambardy (via Eurogamer), who takes fans through the process of making Bill’s compound in a 26-minute video. “When I was watching the show, I just thought this would be a great build to do,” they said, adding that they wanted to give the town a more overgrown look. Isambardy explained that they based the build on still images of the show instead of how it…
