Mr_Fireside 🔥@Mr_FiresideWhile everyone’s focused on Trump, Microsoft created a new state of matter. It's going to change everything. Here's what you need to know about Microsoft's Majorana 1 Quantum Chip:🧵 ...
SummaryMicrosoft unveiled Majorana 1, a quantum chip powered by topological qubits that use exotic Majorana particles to create a new stable state of matter. This breakthrough solves the fragility problem of traditional quantum computers by spreading quantum information across a system, making qubits resistant to errors and potentially enabling real-world applications in drug discovery, cryptography, and materials science within years.Feb 20, 202515 tweets♥ 36.9K
Toan Truong@LearningToanCould psychiatrists tell if someone was actually insane? Stanford psychologist David Rosenhan wanted to find the answer... In 1973, he sent 8 perfectly normal people to mental hospitals across the U...
SummaryIn 1973, David Rosenhan sent 8 mentally healthy people to psychiatric hospitals claiming to hear voices. All were diagnosed with mental illness and admitted, while staff misinterpreted normal behavior as symptoms. The study revealed that psychiatric institutions couldn't distinguish sanity from insanity, leading to major reforms in psychiatry and patient rights.Apr 8, 202516 tweets♥ 33.7K
Suma Y vive@SumaYViveLo que ves en este vídeo ocurre una vez cada 80.000 nacimientos. Un bebé que llega al mundo sin saber que ha nacido. Todavía dentro de su bolsa amniótica. Intacta. Como si el tiempo se hubiera deten...
SummaryUn nacimiento en caul, que ocurre una vez cada 80.000 nacimientos, es cuando un bebé nace intacto dentro de su bolsa amniótica. Este fenómeno raro proporciona protección extra al recién nacido y ha sido considerado signo de buena suerte a lo largo de la historia, con figuras como Napoleón Bonaparte nacidas de esta manera.May 5, 20269 tweets♥ 39.2K

Peter Anthony Cowan@living_energyLow-frequency electromagnetic fields can degrade collagen, weaken tendons, and cause soft-tissue damage at levels regulators call "safe." We have a real world case study proving this: An NFL team wh...
SummaryA thread argues that the San Francisco 49ers' historically high injury rate since moving to Levi's Stadium in 2014 may be caused by low-frequency electromagnetic fields from an adjacent electrical substation, which allegedly damages collagen and soft tissues at levels regulators consider safe. The author presents injury statistics, personal EMF measurements, and claims the injury pattern matches biological effects of ELF exposure documented in peer-reviewed research.Jan 6, 202613 tweets♥ 34.5K
Eric Feigl-Ding@DrEricDing⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother d...
SummaryLarge epidemiological studies from Sweden and Norway involving 2.5 million children found no association between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and autism risk when controlling for family factors, contradicting claims by RFK Jr and Trump. The apparent 5% increased risk in unadjusted analyses disappeared when sibling controls were used, indicating the association was due to confounding rather than a true causal effect.Sep 22, 202514 tweets♥ 26.8K

John Burn-Murdoch@jburnmurdochNEW 🧵: Is human intelligence starting to decline? Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems...
SummaryInternational test scores show declining cognitive abilities since the mid-2010s, not due to biological changes but from how people interact with digital technology. The shift from active engagement to passive consumption, algorithmic feeds, shorter content formats, and constant notifications appears to be eroding people's capacity for focus, reasoning, and processing complex information.Mar 14, 202515 tweets♥ 16.8K

SummaryThis thread profiles John von Neumann, a Hungarian-American polymath who revolutionized quantum mechanics, computer architecture, and game theory while contributing to the Manhattan Project. Before his death in 1956, he warned of a technological singularity where exponential AI growth would surpass human intelligence and reshape civilization.Sep 3, 202523 tweets♥ 20.3K
Robert W Malone, MD@RWMaloneMDFederal prosecutors just charged an NIH virologist with smuggling biological materials into the United States. His name is Vincent Munster. He's not a minor scientist. He runs the Virus Ecology Secti...
SummaryAn NIH virologist Vincent Munster was charged with smuggling biological materials (mpox, chickenpox, and human DNA vials) into the US from Congo. The case connects to the rejected DEFUSE proposal that involved gain-of-function research, raising questions about institutional oversight of dangerous pathogen research funded by US taxpayers.Jun 3, 20268 tweets♥ 14.2K
CA Vivek Khatri@CaVivekkhatri🚨Last night, India switched on a reactor. Here are 9 numbers nobody is talking about: → 72 years: Time since Homi Bhabha conceived this plan → 22 years: Time to actually build it → ₹7,700 crore: Fi...
SummaryIndia's Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) achieved criticality, marking a historic milestone 72 years after scientist Homi Bhabha's vision. The 500 MW reactor represents stage 2 of India's 3-stage nuclear plan to harness the world's largest thorium reserves, making India only the second country after Russia to successfully operate a commercial fast breeder reactor, with profound implications for energy independence and geopolitical sovereignty.Apr 7, 202631 tweets♥ 17.1KRobert W Malone, MD@RWMaloneMDA scientist was hired by a chemical company to study its weedkiller. He found it was castrating and feminizing frogs. So the company stopped studying the chemical and started studying him. This is the...
SummaryScientist Tyrone Hayes discovered that the herbicide atrazine chemically castrates and feminizes frogs, but the chemical company responded by investigating and discrediting him rather than addressing the findings. Despite being classified as probably carcinogenic by the WHO in 2025 and banned in Europe since 2004, the EPA still permits atrazine in US drinking water at levels 30 times higher than EU standards, and it persists in groundwater and accumulates in conventional milk.Jun 4, 202610 tweets♥ 12.7K
