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.

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).

RMS Republic – Then and Now – Port

Lords Of Fortune Releases its Expanded Report on a 45 Ton Tsarist State Bank Shipment of US Gold Eagle Coins, a Treasure by Itself Exceeding $7 Billion

MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, USA, August 31, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Lords of Fortune LLC today released its updated and greatly expanded research report RMS Republic, Cargo: Russian State Bank Shipment, authored by Capt. Martin Bayerle. “For years, I had focused all my research efforts on Republic’s oft-quoted cargo of $3 million in American Gold Eagle coins. That cargo was also the subject of my 2013 book The Tsar’s Treasure, and my 2016 History Channel nine-episode series Billion Dollar Wreck,” Bayerle said. In 2017, Bayerle came into information suggesting that the reported $3 million Russian State Bank shipment was only a part of a much larger $25 million shipment, today estimated to exceed $7 billion.

“This August we uncovered bank records which confirm our hypothesis and explain the transaction. In brief, the Russian State Bank redeemed $25 million in its 1904 War Bonds which Russia had issued to fight the Japanese. Those bonds matured in 1909. $25 million face-value in 1909 bearer bonds replaced the 1904 bonds. The 1909 bonds were sold on Wall Street at a discounted price of $22 million. The $3 million balance owed to the 1904 bondholders was paid in cash. That’s where the reports of Republic’s oft-quoted $3 million cargo originated. $3 million was only a part of the $25 million Russian State Bank shipment,” He continued, “That’s 45 tons of US gold coins. That makes us the G.O.A.T. We will be the largest treasure recovery of all time, bar none!”

RMS Republic was a 570-foot long, 15,000-ton White Star Line luxury liner that sank in January 1909 after leaving from New York for Europe, carrying many wealthy passengers and their baggage, thousands of sacks of mail, a large shipment of US Navy supplies (including a payroll for 16,000 sailors), as well as an only-rumored shipment of $3 million in U.S. gold coins. The ship was T-boned in very dense fog by an incoming Italian immigrant ship, the SS Florida, in the early morning hours of January 23, 1909, about 50 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts. She stayed afloat for 39 hours after the collision, allowing all passengers to transfer to other vessels via lifeboats and enough time for tug boats to begin towing Republic back to the U.S. coast for repairs. Passengers were told to hold onto their stateroom keys and they could retrieve all their belongings once the injured ship was safely back in port. However, Republic didn’t make it. The “unsinkable ship” slipped beneath the waves on the way back with all cargo and passenger belongings still on board. At the time, RMS Republic was the largest ship to sink in history until she would be surpassed 3 years later, in 1912, by another unsinkable luxury White Star Liner, Titanic. However, what was the end of Republic’s story as a reliable luxury liner transporting wealthy passengers and cargo transformed into the beginning of another one – that of a lost sunken shipwreck containing, as one treasure book author put it, “riches beyond most men’s wildest dreams.”

Republic soon became a hot topic among salvage outfits of the time, but at 270 feet below the surface she was, at the time, technologically out of reach. Titanic was lost in 1912. World War I, the 1917 overthrow by the Bolsheviks of the Tsarist Government, and the Great Depression soon followed; the Republic’s rumored cargo, except in treasure lore, soon faded from history.

While the physical recovery of the cargo was impossible until the 1960s, and, even today remains technologically daunting, research was the greatest challenge: solving the mystery. Enter Martin Bayerle, who sought to locate the wreck, found her in 1981 and has been digging through archives all over the world and piecing together the details ever since. What kept the cargo in place was primarily the secrecy regarding the specifics of her cargoes, and the original government ownership interests. The Tsarist Government had ceased to exist in 1917, and the Bolsheviks soon repudiated all Tsarist debt. “There was simply no Government with whom to contract a salvage, and the British, French and Americans were not going to give the Bolsheviks this gold, gold acquired from their sale of repudiated, worthless bonds,” said Bayerle.

The US Government litigated with Bayerle’s company for over a decade claiming that it owned “all” the gold aboard. “We have also proven a 1909 $800,000 US Navy shipment, todays value at about $200 million. And the US Government ended up with a subrogated interest to the Tsarist gold. When the Bolsheviks repudiated Tsarist debt in 1918, the US Government bailed out the New York banks and investors who had purchased Tsarist bonds; the ownership then fell to them. The problem for the US Government is that, shortly after they had recognized the Soviet Union in 1933, they then paid themselves from seized Tsarist assets, assets which the US Government had frozen in 1918. So, the US Government couldn’t double dip into Republic’s gold,” Martin Bayerle said. The US Government’s claim has since been dismissed with prejudice and, in 2011, Bayerle’s company was awarded legal title to the wreck and all of her cargoes by the U.S. District Court in Boston. All future claims were also barred by the Court.

“The next step is to remove several thousand tons of collapsed decks and debris on top of where we believe the gold to be,” remarks Bayerle. “A minimum of $6.5 million is needed to reach the gold chamber. The total expense is expected to fall in the range of $20-25 million. But once gold is seen, on a $10 billion cargo, we can debt finance any amount needed to complete the recovery. If we could make a business case and decided, then, to raise the entire ship at a cost of $400 million, even that would be possible.”

“We’ll let the market determine our current valuation. We’re looking for the right partners to structure a deal,” said Bayerle.

A startup’s IP strategy can also significantly impact its attractiveness to potential strategic partners and acquisition suitors. Companies seeking to expand their product portfolio or technology capabilities often seek startups with complementary patents and trade secrets. A robust IP strategy can open doors to partnerships, licensing deals, and even lucrative acquisition opportunities, offering an attractive exit strategy for investors.

Patents and trade secrets play a significant role in attracting strategic partnerships and acquisitions for companies. The robust protection of intellectual property through patents and trade secrets demonstrates a company’s potential for growth, innovation, and competitive advantage, making it an attractive target for potential partners and acquirers. Let’s explore how patents and trade secrets contribute to attracting strategic partnerships and acquisitions:

Patent Licensing Opportunities
Companies with patented technologies can explore licensing opportunities with potential partners or acquirers. Licensing allows the company to generate additional revenue by granting others the right to use their patented technology in exchange for licensing fees or royalties. Strategic partners may be interested in licensing the technology to complement their existing offerings or enter new markets, while potential acquirers may see the opportunity to integrate the patented technology into their product portfolio.

Protection against Competitors
Having a robust intellectual property strategy, including trade secrets, creates barriers to entry for potential competitors. Companies with well-protected intellectual property are less vulnerable to infringement and copycat products, making them more attractive to potential partners or acquirers seeking to avoid legal disputes and market saturation.

Strengthening Market Position
Strategic partnerships and acquisitions are often pursued to strengthen a company’s market position. Companies with strong patents and trade secrets are better positioned to collaborate or merge with other players in the industry. By joining forces, partners can leverage each other’s strengths and fill gaps in their portfolios, allowing them to collectively gain a competitive advantage.

Potential for Market Disruption:
Companies with groundbreaking patented technologies or unique trade secrets have the potential to disrupt markets. Disruptive innovations can attract interest from strategic partners or acquirers seeking to capitalize on emerging trends or technologies. Such partnerships or acquisitions can enable the acquirer to expand its market reach, diversify its product offerings, and capitalize on the disruptive potential of the target company.

Intellectual Property Due Diligence
During the process of forming strategic partnerships or conducting acquisitions, potential partners or acquirers perform intellectual property due diligence. Companies with well-documented and protected intellectual property are more likely to pass this due diligence process successfully, giving potential partners or acquirers greater confidence in the company’s value and long-term potential.

Intellectual property (IP) plays a crucial role in modern business environments, providing companies with a competitive advantage that goes beyond conventional assets and capabilities. In this section, we will explore how intellectual property serves as a significant differentiator and strategic asset for businesses, enabling them to stay ahead in the competitive landscape.

Protection and Exclusivity
One of the primary benefits of intellectual property is its ability to protect innovative ideas and technologies from imitation and replication. For instance, patents offer inventors exclusive rights to their inventions, preventing others from producing, selling, or using the patented technology without permission. This protection ensures that the company has a head start in the market, without facing immediate competition from copycats.

Trademarks, on the other hand, safeguard a company’s brand identity, including its name, logo, and slogans. This exclusive protection helps companies build brand recognition and customer loyalty, enabling them to establish a unique market position.

Market Differentiation and Value Proposition
Intellectual property allows companies to differentiate their products or services from competitors. By offering patented technology, proprietary processes, or copyrighted content, companies can present distinctive value propositions that attract customers and create a loyal customer base. This differentiation also helps companies charge premium prices, leading to increased profitability.

Attracting Investment and Collaboration
Investors and partners are more likely to be attracted to businesses that possess a strong intellectual property portfolio. IP protection provides assurance that a company’s innovations and technology are safeguarded, reducing risks associated with competitors copying or infringing upon valuable assets. Consequently, companies with robust IP strategies often find it easier to secure investment and form strategic partnerships, fostering growth and expansion opportunities.

Barriers to Entry
Intellectual property can create significant barriers to entry for potential competitors. Startups or small businesses that possess groundbreaking technology protected by patents may dissuade larger players from entering the market due to the risks associated with potential infringement lawsuits. These barriers can help smaller companies carve out a niche and grow without immediate threats from well-established competitors.

2. Defensibility and Market Positioning
An extensive patent portfolio can serve as a defensive measure against competitors. Startups with well-protected intellectual property can safeguard their innovations, technology, or product design, preventing rivals from copying or stealing their ideas. This defensibility establishes a strong market positioning, which can attract potential investors seeking startups with a clear path to market dominance.

Defensibility and market positioning are critical aspects of a business’s long-term success and competitive advantage. In this section, we will explore how defensibility and market positioning are interconnected and how they are influenced by various factors, including intellectual property, differentiation, and customer perception.

As discussed earlier, intellectual property, such as patents and trademarks, can be essential components of a company’s defensibility strategy. Patents protect unique inventions and technologies, preventing competitors from using or selling similar products without permission. Trademarks safeguard a company’s brand identity, making it challenging for others to use similar names or logos that may confuse consumers.

By securing intellectual property rights, companies create legal barriers that deter potential competitors, safeguarding their innovations, brand recognition, and market position. This defensibility allows businesses to focus on growth and innovation, rather than continuously defending against copycats or infringement.

Differentiation: Standing Out from the Crowd
Market positioning, on the other hand, involves how a company presents itself and its offerings to the target audience. Differentiation is a fundamental aspect of market positioning, where a company establishes its unique value proposition to distinguish itself from competitors.

Effective differentiation allows a company to address customer needs and desires better than competitors, creating a perception of superiority. By offering unique features, superior quality, exceptional customer service, or innovative solutions, a company can build a strong market position and customer loyalty.

Intellectual property can be a crucial enabler of differentiation. Patented technology, for instance, may offer unique features or functionalities that competitors cannot replicate without infringing on the patent. This technological differentiation can drive customer preference and loyalty, giving the company a competitive edge.

Trademarks play a significant role in brand differentiation. A well-recognized and trusted brand name or logo can evoke positive emotions and associations among customers, leading to brand loyalty and repeat business.

Customer Perception: The Key to Market Positioning
Market positioning relies heavily on how customers perceive a company and its products or services. A positive brand image, reputation for quality, and a strong value proposition all contribute to shaping customer perception. Companies that successfully align their offerings with customer needs and preferences are more likely to secure a favorable market position.

Patents and Trade Secrets are Proof of Innovation and Technical Expertise
3. Proof of Innovation and Technical Expertise
The patent application process is rigorous and requires extensive documentation of the innovation’s novelty, usefulness, and non-obviousness. A granted patent is, therefore, a compelling proof of a startup’s innovative capabilities and technical expertise. Investors can interpret a strong patent portfolio as an indication of the company’s potential to develop groundbreaking solutions, leading to market disruption and sustainable growth. Let’s explore how patents and trade secrets act as proof of innovation and technical expertise for businesses:

Patents: Demonstrating Novelty and Inventiveness
Patents are official grants of exclusive rights given to inventors or companies for their novel and non-obvious inventions or innovations. When a company successfully obtains a patent, it demonstrates that its technology or product is unique, inventive, and provides a practical solution to a specific problem.

The process of obtaining a patent involves a thorough examination by the patent office, where the company must demonstrate that its invention is different from existing technologies and that it meets the criteria of novelty, non-obviousness, and industrial applicability. The patent application process requires detailed technical documentation and legal arguments to prove the uniqueness of the invention.

The granting of a patent is, therefore, a clear validation of the company’s technical expertise and innovation capabilities. It provides tangible evidence of the company’s ability to develop groundbreaking solutions that advance the state of the art in its industry.

Startups with patents in their key technologies or core products can enjoy market exclusivity during the patent term, usually 20 years from the filing date. This exclusivity allows them to establish a dominant position in the market and generate substantial revenue without direct competition. Investors can look for startups that have strategically aligned their patent strategy with their revenue generation plans.

Patents and trade secrets are instrumental in enhancing market exclusivity and revenue generation for businesses. These forms of intellectual property protection provide companies with the legal and strategic tools to maximize their market position, drive revenue growth, and maintain a competitive advantage. Let’s explore how patents and trade secrets contribute to market exclusivity and revenue generation:

Market Exclusivity through Patents
When a company holds a patent for its innovative product, technology, or process, it gains exclusive rights to use, manufacture, and sell the patented invention for a specific period, typically 20 years from the filing date. This market exclusivity allows the company to operate without direct competition from others for the duration of the patent term.

Having a patent prevents competitors from legally replicating or exploiting the patented technology without obtaining proper licenses from the patent holder. This exclusivity enables the company to establish a dominant market position, command premium pricing, and capture a significant market share.

Market exclusivity also creates barriers to entry for potential competitors. New entrants will find it challenging to introduce similar products or technologies without infringing on existing patents, dissuading them from entering the market or making it more difficult for them to gain a foothold.

Revenue Generation through Patents
Patents play a pivotal role in revenue generation for companies. By holding exclusive rights to their inventions, companies can commercialize their innovations and generate revenue through various avenues:

a. Product Sales: Companies can manufacture and sell products based on patented technologies, benefiting from higher profit margins due to limited competition and increased customer willingness to pay for unique features.

b. Licensing: Patent holders can license their technology to other companies, allowing them to use the patented technology for a fee or royalty. Licensing deals provide a lucrative revenue stream without the need for extensive production or marketing efforts.

c. Cross-Licensing: In some cases, companies engage in cross-licensing agreements with other patent holders. This allows each party to use the other’s patented technology, fostering innovation and expanding product capabilities while generating additional revenue.

d. Litigation: In the event of patent infringement, companies can enforce their rights through legal action, seeking damages or licensing fees from infringing parties, thus further contributing to revenue generation.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA, USA, September 1, 2023 /⁨EINPresswire.com⁩/ — Closeloop Technologies, a …

Barcelona studio to open in early 2024 and work is underway on a new third-person action-adventure title.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, USA, August 31, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Arctic7, which provides a robust suite of full-scale and co-development services in game development and virtual production services for the movie and TV industry, has today announced it will open a new facility in Barcelona, bolstering overall European presence alongside its existing studio in Montenegro.

The studio is scheduled to open in early 2024. Kedhrin Gonzalez will continue in his role as Studio Head of Arctic7 Montenegro and will add the Barcelona studio to his remit with the new studio significantly increasing development capacity available for full game and co-development work with partner projects and internal IP Arctic7 is developing, the first of which is also teased for the first time this week and presented to potential partners.

The as-yet unnamed title is a post-civilisation, third-person action-adventure title built using Unreal Engine 5. Humans thrive in the ruins of a world that fights off a new dark age thanks to the vestiges of technology but are faced with a growing challenge from the reawakening of ancient spiritual forces. Gameplay is built around deep exploration, emotional narrative and a sophisticated and evolving combat system.

Kedhrin Gonzalez, Arctic7 Europe Studio Head, said: “At Arctic7 Europe, while we continue to focus on building strong partnerships for our co-development work, we’re always trying to think of ways to push forward our skills and fuel our passion for making great games for partners. This project is a direct result of that passion and draws on the teams’ experience working on some of the world’s leading games such as Halo, Rainbow Six series and more.”

Arctic7 Chief Executive Officer Igor Efremov said: “Over the past year, we have significantly grown our full game, co-development and virtual production capabilities as we look to establish a leadership position in the space and all focused on delivering great entertainment experiences for our partners and players. We are proud to announce that we are continuing to grow Arctic7 in Barcelona, which will be an additional hub for both full game development and co-development projects. I believe the historic city of Barcelona will be a great steppingstone forwards, giving us access to a rich talent pool so that we can turn out even more entertainment experiences.’’

The news follows a recent announcement that Arctic7 had appointed a new commercial team, featuring a variety of seasoned industry leaders to build exceptional partnerships and pursue an array of new business opportunities.

Established in 2022, Arctic7 is a fully independent collection of four studios, strategically situated in the US, Canada and Europe with capabilities across gaming and media industries. Each studio is an integral part of Arctic7’s collective strength with more than 150 dedicated professionals working across internally developed IP, co-development projects and virtual production.
