NASA's X-59 Supersonic Jet Achieves First Test Flight, Promising Faster Air Travel
TL;DR
This week in science: NASA's X-59 jet completes its first test flight aimed at reducing sonic booms, researchers reveal a quantum problem that even future quantum computers can't solve efficiently, and a team of physicists mathematically prove that our universe cannot be a computer simulation, addressing popular hypotheses about simulated realities.
