Trump allies, WikiLeaks and Russia are pushing a nonsensical conspiracy theory about the DNC hacks


Trump campaign surrogates are fueling a conspiracy theory that a murdered Democratic National Committee staffer was connected to the hacking of the DNC, a theory being pushed by WikiLeaks and the Russian state-controlled press. There’s a big problem, however, with the theory: it doesn’t make any sense when compared to all the available evidence. Trump allies, Assange, and the Russian government are somewhat unlikely cohorts but they all have two things in common – hatred of Hillary Clinton and an interest in diverting suspicion away from the real culprits in the DNC hack, Russian intelligence services seeking to interfere in the U.S. election to Trump’s benefit.

NSA knackte verschlüsselte Befehle für Anschläge in Bayern


Der US-Geheimdienst hat laut Ermittlerkreisen maßgeblich bei den Ermittlungen zu den Anschlägen in Würzburg und Ansbach geholfen Washington – Der US-Geheimdienst NSA hat den deutschen Sicherheitsbehörden nach einem "Focus"-Bericht maßgeblich bei den Ermittlungen zu den Anschlägen in Würzburg und Ansbach geholfen. Die US-Experten hätten codierte Nachrichten entschlüsselt, mit denen ein unbekannter Drahtzieher der Terrormiliz IS die beiden Attentäter über eine saudi-arabische Telefonkarte gesteuert habe.

Everything you need to know about Werner Herzog


As the cult filmmaker’s latest deep-dive documentary hits theatres, we look back on a lifetime spent embracing madness, exploring the human soul and extolling the virtues of the natural world with his signature Teutonic sobriety

Considering everything 73-year-old Werner Herzog has put himself (and others) through over the last five decades, calling this eccentric storyteller a soldier of cinema feels about right. Among the most unhinged expressions of his creative genius: hauling a steamship over a mountain in the middle of the Peruvian jungle, hypnotizing an entire cast of actors, eating a shoe publicly for his filmmaker friend Errol Morris and exposing his crew to an impending volcanic eruption. But for Herzog, who’s literally been shot at during a BBC interview and who ignored The Simpsons when asked to voice a character during the show’s 22nd season, that’s really just scratching the surface. Once called the “most important director alive” by Nouvelle Vague great François Truffaut, the prolific Bavarian has made it his life’s mission to stare danger in the face and look deep into the abyss of mankind – courageously, merrily, always obsessively. Remind him he’s the only filmmaker to have shot on all seven continents and he’ll cringe at the prospect of being immortalized in the Guinness Book of World Records. As the intense, unruly and ridiculously funny German cineaste releases Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World, a timely inquiry into our digital dependency, we look back on some of the cult artist’s most delirious, dramatic and downright dazzling career highlights.

Polizei sucht verlorene Maschinenpistole


Ein Polizist hat in Leipzig im Einsatz seine Maschinenpistole verloren. Am Freitag sei mit Hochdruck nach der Waffe gesucht worden - zunächst jedoch erfolglos, wie Polizeisprecher Uwe Voigt sagte. Der Beamte sei am Donnerstagabend zu einem Einsatz wegen eines vermeintlichen Raubes an einer Tankstelle im Plattenbauviertel Grünau gerufen worden. Nach dessen Ende habe er ordnungsgemäß seine Ausrüstungsgegenstände überprüft - und dabei das Fehlen der Maschinenpistole festgestellt. Es handelt sich um eine Waffe des Typs Heckler & Koch MP5.

F-22 Raptor grounded by 20,000 bees


The US Air Force's F-22 Raptor may be the most advanced fighter jet in the world but even with $143 million-worth of stealth and supersonic capabilities, it proved to be no match for one unlikely adversary --- a huge swarm of honey bees. An F-22 aircraft from the 192nd Air Wing was temporarily grounded on June 11 after crew members at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia discovered nearly 20,000 bees hanging from the jet's exhaust nozzle following flight operations.

Venus May Once Have Been a Garden Planet


A new model suggests a world very different from the one we know today

One of the hard facts of our solar system is that even with eight perfectly nice planets, Earth remains the only house on the block with its lights on—at least in terms of life. Mars, it’s increasingly clear, was once a warm, watery planet and had a shot at cooking up biology, but only until numerous environmental cataclysms turned it dry and cold. Now, according to environmental models run by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) and reported in Geophysical Research Letters, Venus coulda’ been a contender too. For up to two billion years, the investigators believe, our cosmic neighbor may have been an entirely hospitable place for life.

Aston Martin’s $2.5 Million Hypercar Will Be Faster Than a Formula One Race Car


Aston Martin is bringing the adrenaline of Formula One racing to its latest luxury model. Teaming up with its racing partner Red Bull, the two companies are looking to beat out the Bugatti Chiron for the fastest street-legal production car. The AM-RB 001, as Aston Martin is calling the concept for now, would be Red Bull’s first foray into the auto market, joint or otherwise.

LHC-style supercolliders are entering a make or break phase


As the Large Hadron Collider's first sign of a superparticle melts away, physicists must contemplate their nightmare scenario.

Particle physics finds itself in testing times. This branch of science aims to describe the universe by pulling it apart into its most fundamental building blocks, or particles, and putting them back together in a way that explains how everything works. Its most robust attempt to do this, the standard model, explains the subatomic world to incredible precision – but it falls short in some big ways, lacking the parts to explain gravity and the mysterious realms of dark matter and dark energy. Theories such as supersymmetry, and on extra dimensions and new forces of nature, seek to provide the missing pieces. Almost all of these predict new particles that mighty accelerator the Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, is powerful enough to discover. The anticipation of finding such a particle probably explains what happened when a small bump showed up in LHC data at the end of 2015. This could have been the first sign of a particle 800 times heavier than a proton that could fit the predictions of supersymmetry. A flood of more than 500 theory papers followed in an attempt to explain it. But after adding the data taken at the LHC so far in 2016, the bump went away. The 2015 signal was just noise after all.

HIKEA: Möbel-Zusammenbau auf LSD und Pilzen


Ich habe heute gelernt, dass es einen Youtube-Kanal namens „Hikea Productions“ gibt, auf dem Videos veröffentlicht werden, in denen Menschen Ikea-Möbel zusammenbauen (naja, oder zusammenzubauen versuchen), die sich davor Drogen reingepfiffen haben.
