Europe’s digital euro is coming – here’s what it means for you Europe is taking a concrete step toward its own digital currency. Eurozone finance ministers recently agreed on how much money individuals will be allowed to hold in a future digital euro, a milestone in a project championed by the European Central Bank (ECB) since 2021. ECB President Christine Lagarde called the move “a good step in the right direction,” while Spanish Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo said most of the work is done and a broader deal among EU countries could happen in 2025. The digital euro aims to reduce reliance on foreign payment providers like Visa and PayPal and offer a European alternative to US dollar-backed stablecoins.

Astronomers Achieve Historic First: Full Black Hole Recoil Measurement A research group led by the Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) has, for the first time, determined both the speed and direction of the recoil of a newly formed black hole created by the collision of two others. The findings, published in Nature Astronomy, provide fresh insights into some of the most extreme events in the cosmos. Gravitational waves (GWs) are ripples in spacetime that propagate outward from their sources at the speed of light, carrying information about the violent processes that generated them. They open an entirely new observational channel, enabling scientists to study astrophysical events that emit no light – such as black-hole mergers – as well as to gain deeper understanding of phenomena that do, including supernovae and neutron-star collisions.

EXCLUSIVE: The Levee is Breaking on the COVID Vaccine Cover-Up Dr. Joseph Sansone says 1.58 million Americans died shortly after receiving COVID shots—and new insurance data shows 5,000 deaths a week are still happening. He called it a “mass casualty event” and compared ignoring it to walking past a violent crime, warning that families everywhere are being poisoned in plain sight. Unless leaders act, he said, history will hold them accountable—starting with RFK Jr., who has already acknowledged the risks. That admission, Sansone warned, makes him legally vulnerable.

I read that with my own eyes. Um, and the SARs reports clearly say prostitution, and it was a prostitution ring.”

Scientists May Have Found Signs of a Hidden Universe on the Ocean Floor At a conference last year, physicist Joao A. B. Coelho of the French Astroparticle and Cosmology Laboratory presented a project that shares a fair amount of DNA wit Twister’s Dorothy: a big group of spherical artificial eyeballs that may help us detect featherlight neutrino particles from under the ocean. These ‘eyeballs’ are encased in a sphere, and then those spheres are in turn encased in another sphere.
