DUBAI, UAE, September 7, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — The Next World Forum, a gaming event held in Riyadh on August 30th and 31st, gathered influential figures from the global gaming and esports industry. Organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, it served as a platform for industry discussions, emphasizing the esports economy’s rapid growth and the presence of key industry players.

The Next World Forum (NWF) not only provides an innovative opportunity to accelerate sector growth through investment and collaboration but also serves as a platform for intellectual exchange, discourse, and discussions to design the future and highlight potential. NWF serves as a meeting point for gaming and esports stakeholders to collaborate and share knowledge. It covers themes such as the esports economy, AI development, and the world’s fastest-growing games.

Prominent figures from global gaming companies, including Epic Games, Ubisoft, Roblox, Bandai Namco, Tencent, and Atari, participated in the event, alongside H.R.H Prince Faisal bin Bandar Al Saud, Chairman of Board of Directors of Saudi Esports Federation. Alexander Harutyunyan, Co-Founder and Chief Publishing Officer at Creta, also joined as a speaker, introducing Creta, a high-performance public blockchain Web3-based multiverse platform, which received significant interest from the audience. Creta’s presentation at the global event, NWF, signifies its entrance into the Middle Eastern gaming market and reflects its commitment to making strides in this region.

Creta, headquartered in Dubai, UAE, is a Web3-based metaverse gaming platform company. It comprises developers, publishers, and blockchain experts renowned in the global gaming industry. Notable figures include producer Ray Nakazato, Alexander Harutyunyan (former CEO of European game publisher INNOVA), and Seok-ho Yoon, CEO of CCR, known for developing Korea’s National Game Fortress. Yoshiki Okamoto, known for games like Street Fighter 2 and Monster Strike, is a key partner in the project, making Creta a contender in the competitive Web3 metaverse platform ecosystem.

With such prominent individuals involved, Creta is expected to lead the way in creating the most competitive Web3 metaverse platform ecosystem.

Creta’s platform development is led by Diverse, a Korean company with strong expertise in high-performance game engine technology and outstanding graphic capabilities. The Web3-based platform utilizes the high-performance public blockchain, Locus Chain, to create a massive multiverse that differs from existing metaverses. This multiverse is capable of combining and expanding numerous metaverses while maintaining photorealistic visual quality.

Creta offers four main components in its comprehensive Web3 platform service: Creta Multiverse (an endlessly expandable multiverse), Creta Game Platform (servicing Web2 and Web3 games), Creta Studio (enabling high-quality game and content creation), and Creta SuperClub (a Web3 community platform connecting the entire Creta platform).

The ability to provide such an extensive Web3 platform service is largely attributed to the use of Locus GameChain, which dramatically reduces server costs and addresses scalability issues through the utilization of the high-performance Locus Chain blockchain.

Alexander Harutyunyan, Co-Founder the Chief Publishing Officer of Creta, expressed his aspirations by stating, “During this event, we saw how interested the government is and how big the gaming and metaverse scene is in the Middle East. With Creta, we’re looking to show what the future holds for Web3 metaverse platforms and create a whole new gaming market in the Middle East.”

Creta is currently preparing for the early access service of SuperClub, a Web3 community platform, scheduled for October. Additionally, they plan to conduct a Closed Beta Test (CBT) of their first metaverse world by the end of the year.

New York Times (NYT) article highlighting the 'crisis in cosmology'.

New York Times (NYT) article highlighting the ‘crisis in cosmology’

American taxpayers would hate to find NASA’s $ 10 billion James Webb telescope triumphed over by Europe’s $ 1 billion Eulcid telescope.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”

— Gautama Buddha

INDORE, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA, September 4, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Today, an article appeared in New York Times (NYT), which highlighted the ‘crisis in cosmology’ unraveled by the James Webb Space telescope (JWST). One of JWST’s first major findings is very uncomfortable for astronomers: it discovered the existence of fully formed galaxies far earlier than should have been possible according to presently accepted, standard model of cosmology. Reacting to the NYT article, Mr. Subhajit Waugh, a scientist (physicist) working in RRCAT (Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology), said that the authors of the article have not realized that it could have been a much more newsworthy article (even though it was newsworthy enough to appear in NYT). Mr. Waugh asserted that the article is just the tip of the invisible iceberg. Not only cosmology is in crisis; physics faces severe crisis too (the two pillars of physics are bitterly conflicting), and the NYT article authors have failed to see the link. Consequently, the article simply presents a BIG problem, but offers no satisfactory solution.

James Webb telescope can absolutely revolutionize science (especially physics and cosmology) and usher the greatest ever paradigm shift in science. Mr. Subhajit asserted that two next generation telescopes (the European Euclid and Japanese XRISM X-Ray telescopes) are just about to do that. James Webb might still triumph over both telescopes; but time is running out fast.

Mr. Waugh warned that if American scientific communities do not seize the opportunity to turn science upside down by following JWST’s startling revelations, then Europe will win the race, and Europe will be the leader of another scientific revolution. Or else, Japan, the ‘land of the rising sun’, will soon become the ‘rising sun’ in Science.

The NYT article wrote: “Physicists and astronomers are starting to get the sense that something may be really wrong. It’s not just that some of us believe we might have to rethink the standard model of cosmology; we might also have to change the way we think about some of the most basic features of our universe – a conceptual revolution that would have implications far beyond the world of science.” Mr. Waugh wholeheartedly agrees with the above paragraph. He agrees enthusiastically with another paragraph as well “We may be at a point where we need a radical departure from the standard model, one that may even require us to change how we think of the elemental components of the universe, possibly even the nature of space and time.” Mr. Waugh could not hide his joy and excitement when another paragraph was mentioned “But a (scientific) revolution may end up being the best path to progress. That has certainly been the case in the past with scientific breakthroughs like Copernicus’s heliocentrism, Darwin’s theory of evolution and Einstein’s relativity. All three of those theories also ended up having enormous cultural influence – threatening our sense of our special place in the cosmos, challenging our intuition that we were fundamentally different than other animals, upending our faith in common sense ideas about the flow of time.”
But when asked to elaborate, he simply smiled and said “You cannot run the ‘Tokaido Shinkansen’ bullet train on tracks built for steam locomotives. Similarly, you cannot run modern science on a century-old concept of SpaceTime.” He added “SpaceTime is the arena in which everything happens. It is the very fabric of reality. If you get that concept wrong, you are hopelessly lost and directionless.”

Mr. Waugh summarized: Physics is derailed (Ref. 1) and cosmology is in crisis (Ref. 2). Our concept of SpaceTime is faulty (Ref. 3, 4) and our mathematics is shaky (Ref. 5, 6). We are wrong about shape and size of the universe (Ref. 7). A tsunami sized ‘scientific revolution’ is coming (Ref. 8, 9, 10).
