Gay and her colleagues from MIT and the University of Pennsylvania testified about a month ago before the Congressional Education Committee and gave hesitant answers to the question of whether they are aware that the demonstrations in which there is a demand for an intifada are a call for the elimination of the State of Israel and Jews everywhere. Since the beginning of the war against Hamas, Israeli and Jewish students have been afraid of vulnerability

A team of researchers from Harvard University, MIT and Calcutta in collaboration with Google successfully simulated a traversable wormhole with the help of a quantum computer. The experiment performed on Google's quantum processor demonstrated the passage of information in the interlaced system. According to the principle of holography, the physics demonstrated in the experiment is the same as that of particles passing through wormholes. Although it was conducted on only nine qubits, the experiment is of great importance because it illustrates for the first time the possibility of testing quantum gravity with the help of entangled systems.
