Time travel is possible based on the laws of physics, according to researchers. Put simply: It's theoretically possible to go back in time, but you couldn't change history. Thomas Peter/ReutersThe grandfather paradoxPhysicists have considered time travel to be theoretically possible since Albert Einstein came up with his theory of relativity. The most famous example is known as the grandfather paradox: Say a time-traveler goes back to the past and kills a younger version of his or her grandfather. Applied to the grandfather paradox, then, this would mean that something would always get in the way of your attempt to kill your grandfather.

Once high-flying semiconductor stocks suffered in 2022, but UBS is betting on these names in the new year. The chip sector suffered as demand for consumer products like PCs and smartphones dwindled, and supply constraints weighed on production. Those issues are far from over, but UBS views some stocks as better positioned to ride out the new year. "Nonetheless, we are bullish on semiconductor stocks for 2023 — expecting stock momentum to really build into CQ2 and 2H:23 before the ISM likely bottoms late in the year." The chip stock, commonly known for its PC and server chips, made history this year as it surpassed its rival Intel in market capitalization .

A recent survey of 179 companies by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers found 98% said they faced continued supply chain problems. Another gauge, the New York Fed’s Global Supply Chain Pressure Index, edged higher in October and November - reversing some of the loosening of global supply bottlenecks seen through most of the past year. "But a lot of that has been delayed," he said, by supply chain delays.

Rather than teach robots how to handle cloth, the startup, Sewbo Inc., stiffens the fabric with chemicals so it can be handled more like a car bumper during production.

Some parts of his supply chain have clearly improved, said the vice president of global supply for Graco Inc (GGG.N), the Minneapolis-based maker of fluid handling equipment such as paint sprayers. But the complex nature of global supply chains means that companies like Graco are still struggling, since the shortage of just one part can hobble them. The COVID-19 pandemic set off a crisis in global supply chains, which is showing signs of healing. This suggests falling prices for some goods and services are still far from working their way fully through the economy.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan addresses members of his ruling AK Party (AKP) during a meeting at the parliament in Ankara, Turkey May 18, 2022. MANDATORY CREDITTurkey will keep cutting interest rates, its President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, despite soaring inflation at over 80%.

"Turkey has 80% inflation and I guess the worst performing currency over the past decade.

DEVENS, Mass., Sept 21 (Reuters) - The giant machines churning out metal parts on this factory floor do not bang or clang - or make any other noise usually associated with heavy-duty manufacturing. VulcanForms builds metal parts by layering on and fusing together materials bit by bit — rather than cutting them out of blocks of metal or stamping them out in metal foundries. The factory has made everything from medical implants and gun suppressors to tire molds and computer cooling devices. VulcanForms is unique among 3D printing companies in that it builds its own proprietary machines - which it will not sell to other producers - and uses them to make parts for its customers. The company is growing quickly, with plans to double the number of 3D printing machines at the Devens factory by the end of this year.

Un fotograf a surprins obiceiurile unice ale fiului său diagnosticat cu autism. „Am vrut să fie conștient de cât de diferit este și să vadă asta drept un atu”Fotograful din San Francisco, Timothy Archibald, a început să-și fotografieze fiul autist Elijah, în vârstă de 5 ani, ca o modalitate de a face față diagnosticului băiatului. Am vrut să fie conștient de cât de diferit este și să vadă asta drept un atu”, spune fotograful într-o confesiune. Prin această serie de fotografii, Archibald nu numai a devenit mai aproape de fiului său, în lumea și atmosfera acestuia, dar a și reușit să își elibereze dorința de a controla situația și de a raporta toate acțiunile acestuia la standardele societății. „Echolilia” a fost transformată într-o carte, iar exemplarele semnate sunt disponibile pentru cumpărare în cadrul site-ului fotografului.

☆ Preşedintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski vrea dizolvarea Curţii Constituţionale

Preşedintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski a propus, vineri, Radei Supreme să dizolve Curtea Constituţională. Propunerea vine ca urmare a deciziei acesteia de a invalida o serie de legi anticorupţie pentru că ar fi „prea severe”, scrie Agerpres. Peste 1.000 de persoane, între care mulţi militanţi anticorupţie, au protestat, vineri, în faţa sediului Curţii Constituţionale împotriva deciziei acesteia. Preşedintele Curţii, Oleksandr Tupitski, a acuzat Preşedinţia că încearcă să pună botniţă instituţiei sale, afirmând că proiectul de lege conţine „semnele unei lovituri de stat”. Denunţând totodată decizia Curţii, opoziţia şi numeroşi experţi au criticat şi proiectul de lege prezidenţial, deoarece Constituţia ucraineană nu prevede posibilitatea destituirii judecătorilor săi printr-un vot parlamentar şi nici anularea deciziei sale.
