Physics is putting a hard limit on your travel plans. A physicist is making the case that time travel to the past isn't just difficult — it may be fundamentally impossible. The math, it turns out, only seems to allow movement in one direction, and that direction is forward. Pack accordingly.
From the impossible to the improbable: scientists have confirmed that more than thirty million years ago, a group of monkeys somehow crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Africa to South America, likely clinging to floating mats of vegetation. It's one of the most remarkable accidental journeys in the history of life on Earth, and it helps explain why primates ended up on two continents separated by thousands of miles of open water.
Closer to the present, a developer has released an open-source AI code editor built specifically for teams. The tool pairs an artificial intelligence coding assistant with a built-in sprint board and the ability to delegate tasks to different AI agents simultaneously. It's an early-stage project, but it points toward a future where software teams and AI systems share the same workspace in real time.
That's your briefing for today. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
