Show HN: ICT – New Information Model for Matter Time Consciousness (Experiment)https://www.academia.edu/s/8924eff666TL;DR: ICT (Information–Consciousness–Time) treats matter as fixed information, consciousness as the rate of informational change, and time as the structuring of this change. The model unexpectedly drew interest from researchers in information physics (feedback below) and includes three concrete falsifiable experiments.1. Core IdeaThree base relations:1. Matter = fixed information M = I_fixed2. Consciousness = rate of informational change C ∝ dI/dT3. Reality = interaction of stable and flowing information R = f(I_fixed, dI/dT)This connects to Landauer’s limit, free-energy principle, Bekenstein bounds, and integrated-information concepts, but treats information itself as the fundamental physical substrate.2. Time as informational processIn ICT, time is:> “The transition of potential information into structured experience.”This links phenomenological time, physical time, and informational/computational time. Consciousness “shapes” this transition → generating an effective local arrow of

Decoded star reveals signs of distant stellar merger and black hole companionhttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Decoded_star_reveals_signs_of_distant_stellar_merger_and_black_hole_companion_999.htmlLos Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 26, 2025 Astronomers at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy analyzed the vibrations of a distant red giant star now orbiting a quiet black hole in the Gaia BH2 system. Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), the team observed patterns of faint starquakes, providing a detailed look at the star's core via its oscillations.

Star Wars redux: the false promise of space-based missile defensehttps://spacenews.com/star-wars-redux-the-false-promise-of-space-based-missile-defense/Star Wars is back in vogue with President Trump’s executive order to establish the “Golden Dome” missile defense shield. It will feature an ambitious space-based boost-phase interceptor program in addition to terrestrial systems. While admittedly the holy grail of defense against ballistic missiles, the obstacles that plagued its discontinued predecessor, “Brilliant Pebble,” under the Strategic […] The post Star Wars redux: the false promise of space-based missile defense appeared first on SpaceNews.

Plasmasphere compressed by recent geomagnetic superstorm dramatically slowed recoveryhttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Plasmasphere_compressed_by_recent_geomagnetic_superstorm_dramatically_slowed_recovery_999.htmlTokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 21, 2025 Researchers have detailed how a geomagnetic superstorm on May 10-11, 2024, shrank Earth's plasmasphere, a protective zone of charged particles, to just one-fifth of its normal size. The event, named the Gannon storm or Mother's Day storm, was the most powerful in over twenty years.

This silence represents a profound missed opportunity. Amidst a severe, persistent partisan divide, focusing on genuine military readiness offers a pathway for non-partisan decisions. To ensure this initiative cost-effectively achieves its goal of preparing for war so as […] The post ‘Department of War’ Executive Order should prioritize readiness against space stalkers appeared first on SpaceNews.
