Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain I have been researching the psychology of conspiracy beliefs for seven years now and people often ask me why people believe in them. This is not a simple question. There are many reasons people might endorse conspiracy theories. Something that stands out to me, though, is how our thinking styles can influence the…

A follower commented: “Beautiful to watch this. You can see his joy in being able to control things again. This is when science does very good things!” In a first, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Thursday shared a video clip where a person was seen playing video games just by thinking, courtesy the Neuralink brain chip. Paraplegic Noland Arbaugh, 29, was seen in a video shared to X using just his mind to play online chess.‘See that cursor on the screen? That’s all me. It’s all brainpower,” he was quoted as…

Margot Robbie is a classic beauty with her flowy blonde hair, blue twinkly eyes and a wide and bright smile. Not only was she the perfect actress to embody the character of Barbie for Greta Gerwig’s movie, but she was also the right one to start the fashion trend of Barbiecore for the film’s press tour. While Robbie looked flawless wearing the Mattel Inc. doll’s popular fashions, her stylist explains how her various outfits were arranged for the press tour. Fair warning, it was a very exhaustive process, and I'm tired…

A couple of weeks ago, the Queen of the Clubs, dancing, disco Dannii dropped her latest banger ‘Thinking ‘Bout Us’ with DJ/Producer Autone. As well as being a bop, the video is full of Easter Eggs to different points in Dannii’s music career. Having been a fan since her ‘Love And Kisses’ debut, I instantly recognised a few references, but after multiple watches, have I managed to spot them all? First off, there’s a pretty obvious reference to Dannii’s third album, and perhaps the one that first showed her…

What sort of a mind produces a whole book as though it might be an error, each sentence a fault line? The Canadian poet Anne Carson – here chiefly writing prose – explains Wrong Norma is thus named because she knows the pieces within the book do not add up. We are not to expect them to be on speaking terms with one another. I have interviewed Anne Carson, a classicist frequently tipped as a contender for the Nobel prize, for this newspaper – but interview is not the word for what took place between us by email. I sent her…

Intuitive Machines’ spacecraft touched down yesterday on the lunar surface . . . sideways. CEO Steve Altemus confirmed during a press conference Friday that, while it wasn’t a perfect landing, it’s nothing short of a miracle the spacecraft landed intact at all. Using a small model of the lander, Altemus demonstrated how engineers believe the spacecraft, called Odysseus, made its descent given the most recent telemetry data. “The vehicle is stable near or at our intended landing site,” Altemus said. “We’re downloading…

After months of testing on animals, billionaire Elon Musk's Neuralink has begun to ‘mess' with people's heads - literally! After receiving clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) a few months ago, the neurotechnology company carried out its first clinical trial last month, where it implanted a chip inside the skull of a patient. While it is an extremely risky procedure, the recipient has now fully recovered, according to Elon Musk.Neuralink's first human trial recipient recoversTalking on…

The first human patient implanted with a brain-chip from Neuralink appears to have fully recovered and is able to control a computer mouse using their thoughts, the startup's founder Elon Musk said late on Monday."Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with neural effects that we are aware of.
