Polish Scientist Warns Humanity Will Likely Cause Its Own Extinction

Prof. Rafał Szabla, a theoretical chemist at Wrocław University of Technology, believes humanity is probably not alone in the universe but warns that alien civilisations may have already vanished — a fate that could await us too. He argues that carbon and water alone are insufficient conditions for life, and points to cosmic anomalies. He warns that humanity is likely on a path toward self-destruction.

Is humanity capable of avoiding self-destruction?

New fitness band tracks health data but blocks notifications and scrolling

A new fitness band has launched with a deliberate design choice: it collects health data but blocks social media notifications and prevents scrolling. The device targets users overwhelmed by constant digital stimulation from smartphones and smartwatches. It aims to support focused workouts and pre-sleep wind-down by cutting off the impulse to check screens.

Is a fitness band that blocks notifications good for mental health?

Britain's proposed solution is to have American police enforce its censorship orders and fines on US soil. The move raises serious legal and political questions about jurisdictional sovereignty and extraterritorial law enforcement.

China tests truck-mounted electromagnetic drone catapult that needs no runway

China's Beijing Institute of Technology released footage of three eight-wheeled trucks interlocking to form a road-mobile electromagnetic catapult capable of launching a propeller-driven drone without a runway. The system miniaturises the EMALS technology already used on China's newest aircraft carrier. Transported in standard shipping containers, it could theoretically be deployed anywhere in the world.

Madonna has returned with her first new album in seven years: "Confessions II" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 134,000 equivalent album units. That was enough to push her past a still-charting Olivia Rodrigo and claim the top spot. Ken Carson and Sienna Spiro also bowed in the top 10 with their respective new releases.

Deadly counterfeit airbag inflators in the US – manufacturer still unidentified

The U.S. government has been unable to identify who manufactures a range of deadly aftermarket airbag inflators that fire metal shrapnel when deployed in a crash. Suspicion has fallen on Chinese firm Jilin Province Detiannuo Safety Technology Co., Ltd., known as DTN, but officials have yet to confirm this. The lack of a confirmed manufacturer is hampering efforts to recall the dangerous devices and protect drivers.

Why most people lose money on cryptocurrencies

Losses in cryptocurrency trading rarely come down to bad luck — they most often result from mistakes such as lack of strategy, emotion-driven decisions, excessive leverage and ignoring project fundamentals. Investors frequently buy at market peaks and panic-sell during downturns, steadily eroding their capital.

Should the average investor avoid putting money into cryptocurrencies?

Investors are being forced to find workarounds, exploiting dollar strength through other instruments rather than the bond market. The divergence reflects broader uncertainty about the US economic and fiscal outlook.

Is a strong dollar currently more of an opportunity than a risk for investors?

Expert: Most people who think they have ADHD actually don't

Prof. Tomasz Hanć from Adam Mickiewicz University, a specialist in ADHD research, diagnosis and therapy, warns that the vast majority of people who believe they have ADHD do not actually meet the diagnostic criteria. At the same time, he highlights a paradox: in Poland, only one in ten adults who genuinely have ADHD receives a diagnosis. The issue involves both widespread self-diagnosis and a significant underdiagnosis of real cases.

Should access to ADHD diagnosis in Poland be made easier?
