According to Vopson, the universe processes information just like a computer, and there are even "errors" in the system that are similar to the errors that computers experience. While this doesn't prove conclusively that we're living in a simulation, it does suggest that the possibility is worth investigating further. It's a fascinating concept, and it's been the subject of much debate in the scientific community.

Earth was hit by an ultra-powerful cosmic ray from a void in the universe, researchers remain clueless about its origin. Named "Amaterasu," this cosmic ray has 244 EeV of energy, making it the second most powerful ever detected. Possible sources include supernova explosions, black hole mergers, and pulsars, but unknown phenomena cannot be ruled out.
A Bitcoin user accidentally pays a record transaction fee of over $3.1 million, overpaying by 120,528 times. The transaction, which transferred 55.77 BTC, was mined by AntPool in block 818,087.

Mathematicians have discovered the ninth Dedekind number, D(9), after 32 years of searching, using a specialized supercomputer. D(9) is a 42-digit monster and follows the 23-digit D(8) discovered in 1991. Dedekind numbers are related to Boolean functions and involve complex calculations with huge numbers.
