What Happens When Universes Collide?

Physicists Study How Universes Might Bubble Up and Collide

What lies beyond all we can see? The question may seem unanswerable.


Nevertheless, some cosmologists have a response: Our universe is a swelling bubble. Outside it, more bubble universes exist, all immersed in an eternally expanding and energized sea — the multiverse.


Since they can’t prod actual universes as they inflate and bump into each other in the hypothetical multiverse, physicists are studying digital and physical analogs of the process.


The idea is polarizing. Some physicists embrace the multiverse to explain why our bubble looks so special (only certain bubbles can host life), while others reject the theory for making no testable predictions (since it predicts all conceivable universes).


But some researchers expect that they just haven’t been clever enough to work out the precise consequences of the theory yet.

Brain Interfaces Will Allow Us to Edit Our Feelings

CEO Gabe Newell says brain-computer interface tech will allow video games far beyond what human 'meat peripherals' can comprehend

The head of US gaming company Valve Corporation says a future is fast approaching where video games will use data from people's brain signals to adjust the experience they get — and even a future where people's minds can be adjusted by computers.


Gabe Newell spoke to 1 NEWS about the future of brain computer interfaces (BCIs) — an area he and other Valve staff have studied for several years now — and talked about how Valve is working to put BCIs to use in the gaming sector.

Newell admits some of the ideas may seem incredible, and said some of the discussions he's having around BCIs are "indistinguishable from science fiction" — but according to him, game developers would be making a mistake by not investigating BCIs within the short-term future.

Aside from just reading people's brain signals, Newell also discussed the near-future reality of being able to write signals to people's minds — to change how they're feeling or deliver better-than-real visuals in games.

Lasers key to creating lab-grown transplant organs?

Researchers from the University of Washington say a new technique could help create lab-grown, fully functional organs ready for transplant

While scientifically-designed human organs may sound like science fiction, many labs across the world are hoping to one day make them reality.


Before an organ can be made in a lab however, researchers say there are two major hurdles to overcome.


The first is creating a biologically compatible 3D scaffold in which cells can grow. The second is triggering cells to grow into the desired organ or tissue.


The researcher's new approach uses a near infrared laser to trigger proteins to stick to a scaffold made from collagen.


The researchers were able to create any shape they wanted from the laser-created proteins.
