Could cosmic memory explain dark matter, dark energy, and black holes?
For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein’s general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time.
Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles and fields. Both work brilliantly in their own domains. But put them together and contradictions appear – especially when it comes to black holes, dark matter, dark energy and the origins of the cosmos.

AI Brand Visibility Tracking: How to Do It the Right Way
Key Takeaways
- Most AI brand visibility tracking today replicates keyword tracking logic, using prompts instead of search terms. The underlying assumption is the same, and that’s the problem.
- Traditional search engines are deterministic: the same query tends to return similar results. LLMs are probabilistic: the same prompt can produce a wide range of valid answers.
- Measuring a probabilistic system with deterministic tools produces data that looks clean but doesn’t reflect how the system actually behaves.
- The prompts most brands are tracking (‘Best CRM in 2026,’ ‘Top accounting software’) describe a user who doesn’t exist, someone with no context, no history, and no specific intent. This is a known gap in current AI SEO measurement approaches.
- Fixing this requires a different measurement philosophy, not just better prompts.
Have you started tracking your brand in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews? Good. You’re thinking about the right problem.

Scientists have tracked the eye movements of a bird in flight for the first time, revealing that pigeons in the air lock their eyes in place rather than looking around. The behaviour may help them control their flight, but it could also leave them more vulnerable to predators.
