Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space and time, usually created when massive, dense objects like black holes collide. But at less than a tenth of a second long, this sudden burst was far shorter than the drawn-out chirps normally produced by merging black holes. Now, researchers think this strange signal, dubbed GW190521, could have arrived from a parallel universe.
How Trump's H-1B Reform Could Harm American Tech Innovation
President Trump sent shockwaves through the tech industry over the weekend by announcing a $100,000 payment for new employer-filed H-1B visa applications submitted after September 21, 2025. Since 1990, hundreds of thousands of foreigners have come to work for U.S. tech companies via the visa system. But in a proclamation, Trump wrote that the system had been "deliberately exploited to replace, rather than supplement, American workers with lower-paid, lower-skilled labor." Many experts agree that the H-1B system is flawed and needs amending. But TIME spoke with three professors in economics or business who believe that Trump's new fee system could be counterproductive: that it might push talent overseas; render universities and nonprofits unable to recruit foreign experts; and harm American tech innovation, including in the rapidly emerging field of AI.

Russia's involvement in drone sightings cannot be ruled out, Danish PM says
Russia's involvement in drone sightings cannot be ruled out, Danish PM says The drone incursion that stopped flights at Copenhagen airport on Monday night was the most severe attack on Danish infrastructure so far, Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said. Kastrup airport in Copenhagen was forced to shut for several hours from around 20:30 (18:30 GMT) on Monday following the sighting of a number of drones. It says something about the times we live in and what we as a society must be prepared to deal with, Frederiksen told reporters. Russian involvement could not be ruled out, Frederiksen added - although Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the allegations unfounded. The Danish PM made a link between last night's events in Denmark and the recent Russian drone incursions in Poland and Romania, as well as the violation of Estonian airspace by Russian fighter jets .
How Signal's Meredith Whittaker Remembers SignalGate: 'No Fucking Way'
The Signal Foundation president recalls where she was when she heard Trump cabinet officials had added a journalist to a highly sensitive group chat. In March of this year, Meredith Whittaker was at her kitchen table in Paris when Signal, the encrypted messaging service she runs, suddenly became an international headline . A colleague sent their group chat the story ricocheting across the globe: "The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans." Of course, you know the rest: In the piece, The Atlantic's editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, detailed how he'd been added to a Signal chat about an upcoming military operation in Yemen. Over the following days and weeks, the incident would become known as " SignalGate "--and created a legitimate risk that the fallout would cause people to question Signal's security, instead of pointing their fingers at the profoundly dubious op-sec of senior-level Trump officials. In fact, Signal's user numbers grew by leaps and bounds, both in the US and around the world. It's growth that, Whittaker thinks, is coming at a time when "people are feeling in a much deeper, much more personal way why privacy might be important." On this week's episode of, I talked to Whittaker, who also cofounded the AI Now Institute, about the aftermath of SignalGate, the trajectory of artificial intelligence, and the tech industry's current relationship with politics. Nice to see you, Katie. Nice to see you, too. Brace yourself, we always start these conversations with a little warmup, so I'm going to ask you some very fast questions. I knew you were gonna say that. What's the weirdest AI application you've ever seen? A chatbot that pretends to be your friend.
What is autism and what are Trump's unproven claims about a paracetamol link?
What is autism and what are Trump's unproven claims about a Tylenol link? US President Donald Trump has claimed there is a link between the use of painkiller Tylenol by pregnant women and an increased risk of autism in some children. Going against current scientific advice and medical opinion, he said the drug, known as paracetamol in many countries, is no good and women should fight like hell to only take it in extreme cases, such as for high fevers. Medical bodies say the drug is safe and that it remains the best treatment for pain and fever during pregnancy. What is autism and how is it diagnosed?
Lebanon pushes for US support as family killed by Israel attack are buried
Why is Israel still in southern Lebanon? A war to shape Lebanon's future Lebanon is pushing to get more support from the United States after another deadly Israeli drone attack on southern Lebanon, which this time killed five people, including three children, the latest in a series of near-daily violations by Israel of the US-brokered November 2024 ceasefire. President Joseph Aoun and other officials met with a delegation led by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Lebanese presidency said in a statement on Tuesday. The Lebanese president said he wants Israel to stop occupying parts of his country, is looking to gear its army with "equipment and supplies" from the US, and needs Washington's support to hold a conference dedicated to reconstruction in Lebanon. Amid ongoing efforts to disarm Hezbollah, Aoun emphasised that the Lebanese army's mandate includes "all Lebanese regions" as the country tries to seize an opportunity "to achieve just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the Middle East region". He is also scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, where he is expected to denounce Israeli attacks across the region, including in Gaza and Lebanon.
