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.

AI enhances Higgs boson’s charm
To me, this is what AI is meant to be used for, taking data and helping scientists sort through this and make meaningful conclusions based on data and interpretation of data.
The CMS collaboration presents a new search for the decay of a Higgs boson into charm quarks, bringing physicists closer to unravelling how this unique particle endows matter with mass [1]

How to turn Pb in to Au
Physics at CERN have used a high energy pulse to turn Lead (Pb) into Gold (Au).

Dust Battery
More interesting findings about the early universe, I guess some of this makes sense as one of the 4 fundamental forces is Electromagnetic forces.
This research findings are detailed here. So if I understand this correctly, the early universe processes had that were had electrically charged dust particles, these produced magnetic fields as they moved around by the radiation from the 2nd generation of stars.

Last night, the two @LIGO detectors observed the second gravitational-wave candidate of the day.
The possible signal with the preliminary designation S250205ee most likely originates – if it is real – from the merger of two black holes.
It occurred at a (luminosity) distance of 9.4 billion light-years.
This brings the total number of significant signal candidates identified in the fourth joint observation run of the international detector network to 190. One (GW230529) has already been fully analyzed and published. The others will also be carefully examined and then published if confirmed.

What is Space-Time?
So back to some Physics videos, what is space-time?: This video does a really nice job of explaining this in a way that is understandable, but not so simple it loses any meaning.
I have included links to wondorium below, as well as links to the usual discussion forums.

After studying this course, you should be able to:
understand the basis of modern cosmology based on the hot big bang
summarise the main candidate dark matter particles, and the prospects for directly detecting them
compare models to explain the late-time acceleration of the Universe's expansion, i.e. dark energy and the cosmological constant
discuss observational prospects for understanding the nature of dark energy
explain the theoretical problems that led to the theory of inflation, how an early inflationary period solves them, and how researchers are investigating inflation.

Future space telescopes
Future space telescopes could be made from thin membranes, unrolled in space to enormous size
Interesting article on the future of space telescopes so the idea seems interesting as it allows deployment of large telescopes in space quickly.
The JWST is 6.5 meters, the ELT is 39 meters (ground based) as the JWST is foldable then the technology is already there.
This could offer some real opportunity to make strides forward, as we have seen with the JWST. Larger telescopes allow for the collection of more light, I would guess that telescopes can be built to collect different light e.g. UV, Visible and IR.
