# s-gst: breaking a kind of time- symmetry to draw stabilities

<< Time crystals are hypothetical structures that pulse without requiring any energy — like a ticking clock that never needs winding >>

<< In 2012, Wilczek [Frank Wilczek] [..] wondered why symmetry never broke spontaneously in time and whether it would be possible to create something in which it did >>

<< These systems draw stability from random interactions that would normally disrupt other kinds of matter >>

# e-web-sec: qucpu will make vital cryptography simple to crack

<< Quantum computers could bring about a quantum leap in processing power >>

<< But there's also a dark side: this extra power will make it simple to crack the encryption keeping everything from our emails to our online banking secure >>

<< A recent report from the Global Risk Institute predicted that there is a one in seven chance vital cryptography tools will be rendered useless by 2026, rising to a 50% chance by 2031 >>

<< As a report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released in April notes, this algorithm [to solve a problem called integer factorization] can be used to efficiently solve the mathematical problems at the heart of three of the most widely-used encryption approaches: Diffie-Hellman key exchange, RSA, and elliptic curve cryptography >>

<< a team led by a Nobel Prize-winning biochemist [Elizabeth H. Blackburn] is engaged in serious studies hinting that meditation might slow aging and lengthen life >>

<< “Ten years ago, if you'd told me that I would be seriously thinking about meditation, I would have said one of us is loco,” Blackburn told the New York Times in 2007 >>

# s-gene: epigenetic 'cis' and 'trans' memories

<< How epigenetic memory is stored and inherited is an on-going debate (..). In so-called  ‘cis  memory’, epigenetic information is proposed to be physically stored in local chromatin states that are associated, for example, with DNA methylation or histone modifications. By contrast, in  ‘trans  memory’, epigenetic information is stored in the concentration of a diffusible factor such as a transcriptional repressor. >>
