Episode Description from the Publisher

Astronomers have detected a massive black hole lurking 30,000 light-years from its galactic center, caught tearing apart a nearby star in a rare cosmic event that's rewriting what we know about where black holes can hide. Meanwhile, researchers are proposing that Earth itself may already be acting as a giant dark matter detector, and scientists have achieved quantum entanglement using nothing but ordinary sunlight โ€” a potential game-changer for secure communications and quantum computing. On the health front, a new fingertip patch can monitor Parkinson's medication levels through sweat in real time, while a promising oral obesity drug showed participants losing up to 12 percent of their body weight in a major clinical trial. From a 300-million-year-old geological time capsule locked inside fossilized wood to a potential autism therapy that worked even in adult brains, this episode is packed with discoveries that challenge what we thought we knew.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
