New tachyon study

New tachyon study could unlock the secrets of time travel and reality

Interesting article published on Europe Says. I have asked on Mastodon where the link to this was posted, that if Tachyons have mass, if this should be factored in to the missing mass, which I think we are suggesting is filled with Dark Matter. So, another part of the hidden universe that has some mass. We are trying to account for where all the mass is located.

I don't fully understand the physics behind all this though.

Radiographer skills shortage

This was headlines on several sites, while controversial, there is still a shortage of Radiographers.

To this end, I have tried to put some information together, with regard to the skills and qualifications needed for this vital role.

So from the National careers service site:-

Entry requirements

You'll usually need:-

  • 4 or 5 GCSEs at grades 9 to 4 (A* to C), or equivalent, including English, maths and science
  • 3 A levels, or equivalent, including at least 1 science
  • a degree in a relevant subject for postgraduate study

You can study science with The Open University, which may be a starting point for research in to gaining what is needed.

UK and AI

UK and US refuse to sign international AI declaration

This is a missed opportunity, BBC Article we have, or had a chance to be part of a global regulation framework. We need to be in, so that we can help drive this forward.

We should not be pandering or following to the USA. The US is now approaching dictatorship where DEI is being eroded.
