  1. China just finished building a record-breaking hypergravity facility, and the scale is wild. It’s designed to ‘compress’ time and space by simulating extreme gravity, letting researchers observe physical changes in days that would naturally take thousands of years.

    ​This isn’t just a win for theoretical physics; it has huge implications for deep-sea engineering, material science, and even space colonization. As we head into 2026, it’s clear the race for ‘mega-science’ infrastructure is the new frontline for global tech dominance.

    ​Do you think these massive physical labs will still lead the way, or will AI simulations eventually make this kind of hardware obsolete?

    A couple of thoughts:

    * That headline is misleading as f#ck.

    * Someone at SCMP is probably “off for the holidays”.
