Italian archaeologists have announced the discovery of a significant “moral necropolis” in Trent, Northern Italy, which dates back to the pre-Roman Iron Age (9th to 6th centuries BC). The ancient cemetery, containing at least 200 tombs, was uncovered during restoration work on historic buildings in the area. This exceptional find may reveal a new chapter in the city’s history, showcasing that it was more than just part of the Roman world. The necropolis was preserved by prehistoric floods that sealed the burial sites, keeping them largely intact for millennia. Excavations have revealed graves with decorative objects, weapons, and even fibers…
Physicists Thomas Gaff, Chintalpati Umashankar Shastri, and Andrea Rocco from Surrey are investigating the nature of time and its perceived unidirectionality. Despite extensive efforts, they haven’t found clear evidence explaining why time appears to flow only forward. The researchers suggest that while the fundamental laws of physics are symmetric concerning time, our everyday experiences are not. They used a mathematical model, specifically a Markov chain, to represent heated particles shaking in a container, postulating that each new quantum state relies only on the preceding state. Their findings indicate that while our experience of time suggests it moves only in one…

While 61% still perceive these efforts as costs, 92% intend to increase their sustainability budgets in…
A winter storm is expected to impact the area starting late Wednesday morning, with precipitation beginning around 8 or 9 AM and continuing throughout the day. Both Wednesday and Thursday are designated as WRAL Weather Alert Days due to the storm’s potential effects. Northern regions, particularly north of Interstate 40, may see significant snow accumulation, with amounts possibly exceeding 2 inches, while southern areas of the Triangle can expect a mix of rain and snow. Snowfall predictions indicate varied accumulation: counties like Roxboro may receive 4-6 inches of snow, Durham and Chapel Hill 2-4 inches, and areas in southern Raleigh…
