Science needs less splashy titles for popular science articles. This stuff backreacts badly on the long run. More (non charlatan) students in STEM won't happen this way. yahoo.com/news/scientist…

ANITA did see weird particles, but not parallel Universes The ANITA experiment ended in 2018, and saw three very weird particles over Antarctica. Now, a Pierre Auger follow-up has come in, and found the most likely (non-parallel-Universe) explanation. bigthink.com/starts-with-a-…
