Lyrid Meteor Shower Brings Fireballs To VA, DC Skies For 2 Weeks

 

https://patch.com/district-columbia/washingtondc/lyrid-meteor-shower-brings-fireballs-va-dc-skies-2-weeks

 

The Lyrids peak is a perfect start to Earth Day in Virginia and DC. Known for fireballs, the meteor shower overlaps with the Eta Aquariids.

 

There hasn't been much beyond the ordinary to stare up at in the nighttime sky since the Quadrantid meteor shower that ushered in 2021. But that changes this month with the Lyrids, which started April 16, and run for two weeks through Friday, April 30.

 

The Lyrids overlap with another meteor shower, the Eta Aquariids (sometimes spelled Aquarids), which will sprinkle some fast-moving meteors in the morning sky before their peak next month, and the first of three consecutive supermoons rises on April 27.

New Warp Drive Research Dashes Faster-Than-Light Travel Dreams—but Reveals Stranger Possibilities

 

https://singularityhub.com/2021/04/18/new-warp-drive-research-dashes-faster-than-light-travel-dreams-but-reveals-stranger-possibilities/

 

Bobrick and Martire show that any warp drive must be a shell of material in a constant state of motion, enclosing a flat region of spacetime. The energy of the shell modifies the properties of the spacetime region inside it.

 

This might not sound like much of a discovery, but until now it was unclear what warp drives might be, physically speaking. Their work tells us that a warp drive is, somewhat surprisingly, like a car. A car is also a shell of energy (in the form of matter) that encloses a flat region of spacetime. The difference is that getting inside a car does not make you age faster. That, however, is the kind of thing a warp drive might do.

 

Using their simple description, Bobrick and Martire demonstrate a method for using Einstein’s general relativity equations to find spacetimes that allow for arrangements of matter and energy that would act as warp bubbles. This gives us a mathematical key for finding and classifying warp technologies.

 

Their work manages to address one of the core problems for warp drives. To make the equations balance, Alcubierre’s device runs on “negative energy”—but we are yet to discover any viable sources of negative energy in the real world.

New Zealand to Five Eyes: Focus on Spying, Not China Criticism

China has spent at least $1.6 billion in aid and loans to the region since 2011, according to the Lowy Institute think tank. Diplomats in Washington and Canberra fear that Beijing may use the loans as leverage to establish a naval base on one of the islands that would greatly enhance its military reach toward the Americas.

ABN Amro to settle money laundering probe for $574 million

 

https://www.metro.us/abn-amro-to-settle/

 

ABN Amro said in a statement it had agreed to pay a fine of 300 million euros and 180 million euros as disgorgement reflecting “the seriousness, scope and duration of the identified shortcomings” in combating money laundering.

 

The prosecution service said in a statement its investigation was ongoing and that three former board members, who it did not name, had been identified as suspects said to be “effectively responsible for violation” of the anti-money laundering act.
