Wunmi Mosaku, star of "Sinners," has been unable to celebrate her recent Oscar nomination due to the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, allegedly at the hands of ICE. Mosaku questioned how she could "enjoy the moment" given the circumstances, according to Variety. The news of her nomination comes amid a backdrop of other developments, including the popularity of a scientifically questionable therapy style and the exploration of quantum mechanics.
The actress's inability to celebrate highlights the intersection of personal achievement and broader societal issues. The killings, attributed to ICE, have cast a shadow over her professional success.
Meanwhile, the world of science continues to explore complex topics. According to Wired, the concept of "nothing" in quantum mechanics reveals surprising complexities. Even when a box is emptied of all visible and invisible contents, including dark matter, it still contains energy. This unavoidable residue, known as ground-state energy or zero-point energy, comes in two basic forms, one associated with fields and the other with particles.
In the realm of entertainment, the cult classic film "Possession" has garnered attention. The Verge recommends the film, describing it as featuring "three of the most unhinged performances in cinema history." The reviewer suggests viewers go into the film blind, without watching a trailer.
Also in the scientific arena, Nature News reported on parasitic wasps that castrate moth larvae using a domesticated virus. The wasps inject the larvae with the virus, causing the testes cells to die. Scientists now understand exactly how the virus performs this task.
Finally, Vox reported on the popularity of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, despite its scientifically shaky foundations. The article explores why this therapy style is gaining traction, even though its claims are dubious.
