About a century ago, scientists were struggling to reconcile what seemed to be a contradiction in Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Published in 1915, and already widely accepted worldwide by physicists and mathematicians, the theory assumed the universe was static – unchanging, unmoving and immutable. In short, Einstein believed the size and shape of

It is “the policy of the United States to promote AI literacy and proficiency among Americans,” reads an executive order President Donald Trump issued on April 23, 2025. The executive order, titled Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth, signals that advancing AI literacy is now an official national priority.

Mxm. Sequels are never as good as the originals, are they? Oh, this one was. The original PlayStation redefined home gaming, but five years later, Sony unleashed another revolution. The new console’s guts packed serious clout, enabling game makers to sculpt breathtaking efforts: the soulful Ico and awe-inspiring Shadow of the Colossus, the sprawling open

“Go ahead, leave your wallet at home,” Bank Zero told me one morning a few weeks back, announcing that customers could use its cards with Apple Pay. I really wish I could leave my wallet behind. I have tried a variety of ways to not carry a small card holder because all I have in

Unless you’re tuned in from the very beginning, there’s likely something on there that shouldn’t be, messing up the vibe of your profile. You can always delete and re-post an image, but who wants that hassle? Instagram’s idea to just let

To say Frank Gallagher has no shame is an understatement. He’s the hard-drinking, irresponsible, drug-taking, lying thief and a reprobate father that we should all despise.  But who doesn’t (secretly) love Frank Gallagher? He’s the title character in Shameless, an unlikely hit of a black comedy drama that is head-shakingly shameless about Frank’s utter lack

Like it or not, artificial intelligence (AI) has become part of daily life. Many devices – including electric razors and toothbrushes – have become “AI-powered,” using machine learning algorithms to track how a person uses the device, how the device is working in real time, and provide feedback. From asking questions to an AI assistant like

There’s still another year to go before the world’s best international teams go head to head, but for the next month, FIFA is bringing us the next best thing: the FIFA Club World Cup. 32 teams — one of which is South Africa’s own Mamelodi Sundowns — will take each other on to compete for
