Nine People Shot Dead At NFL Watch Party; Victim's Mom Says Daughter's Ex- Husband Was The Shooter. Nine people are dead, including the suspected gunman, and a 1. NFL watch party over the weekend in Plano, Texas, according to local police. The suspect, who was killed by the responding officer, hasn’t been identified by authorities, but the mother of one victim told a Dallas TV station that the shooter was her daughter’s ex- husband. Plano police chief Greg Rushin said the gunman shot nine people; seven died at the scene, Rushin said.

Two more were alive and taken to a local hospital, where one of them died. The condition of the remaining survivor wasn’t known by police on Monday afternoon. They also did not release any names of the victims, saying they were still reaching out to next of kin. Debbie Lane told WFAA- TV that one of the victims was her daughter, Meredith, an Atlanta native and cook who “loved hosting friends and family.” That day, Debbie Lane said, her daughter had a watch party for the Atlanta Falcons game, followed by the Cowboys taking on the New York Giants in the Sunday Night Football matchup. Her father, Gene Lane, told the Washington Post, “All we know is that she’s gone.”Court records obtained by the Dallas Morning News showed that Lane had been married to Spencer Hight, but they stopped living together in March of this year. She filed for divorce in July, those records showed, with “discord or conflict of personalities” cited as the reason, per the Morning News.

A neighbor at a listed address for Hight said police had already visited the apartment. Rushin would not confirm the shooter’s identity or that it was a domestic- violence homicide, but he used many of the key words that typically come up in such an investigation. Rushin said the shooter had a “relationship” with the house, had “ties to that residence,” and “he was known by the people in the residence.” Rushin later described what happened as “an isolated incident,” and said police were not looking for any other suspects.

Rushin at one point mentioned that “family violence” can happen anywhere. At the same press conference, Rushin also went into more details about what happened. He said police were responding Sunday night to a call of shots fired. The first officer at the scene saw people shot in the backyard, and decided he couldn’t wait for backup.“The first thing he heard was shots being fired. He saw people in the backyard that were down, that were shot.

Nine people are dead, including the suspected gunman, and a 10th is hospitalized after a gunman opened fire at an NFL watch party over the weekend in Plano, Texas. Corvettes are dirty cars. I don’t care how many times they go to LeMans with the Z06, a Corvette will always remind me of Dirk Diggler, the 1970s, shag carpeting.

So he instantly knew what was going on. He went into the house on his own,” Rushin said. He made that decision that he couldn’t wait for backup, for another partner, to go in as we were trained and go in to stop the shooter. And that’s exactly what he did. He actually found the shooter inside and ended his shooting spree.” One witness described to WFAA’s David Goins the fighting she heard right before the shots were fired. While Plano police are investigating the homicide, the Texas Rangers will investigate the police officer’s shooting of the suspect.

Bad news: Humans will probably never explore the area around a black hole, at least while you’re alive. That’s mostly because most black holes are too far away.

Scientists Just Observed an Effect of Gravity on Tiny Particles For the First Time. Bad news: Humans will probably never explore the area around a black hole, at least while you’re alive. That’s mostly because most black holes are too far away, and even if we could travel to them, it’s unlikely we’d survive their gravitational pull.

That means that if we want to study the wacky effects extreme gravity might have, we’ve gotta get creative—which is exactly what an international team of physicists have just done. Those physicists are now reporting a so- called “gravitational anomaly” in a special kind of material, called a Weyl semimetal.

The paper’s results and experimental setup could have important applications in the near future—the authors told me it might let you one day charge a phone by rubbing it on your leg. But others were most excited about how the relatively new Weyl semimetals will allow for observations of gravitational effects in these strange models.“It’s really the first time ever to see it within an experiment, even though it is only by the analogy,” Subir Sachdev, Harvard physics professor who was not involved in the study, told Gizmodo. Nevertheless, in all of physics, no one has seen anything like this.”“Gravitational anomaly” refers to an effect the shape of spacetime itself can have on the behavior of “fermions,” the category of particles that includes electrons. All particles come with an innate property called “spin,” and in electrons, scientists observe that value as “up” or “down.” On top of that, if fermions have no mass, they should always be moving, according to the laws of physics—that’s just what massless things do. The spin can then point in either the same direction or the opposite direction that the particles are moving—this is called “chirality,” or handedness. Gravitational anomaly says that changes in the shape of space can cause an imbalance in this handedness. No, scientists can’t change the shape of spacetime in a lab.

Instead, they needed a really good analogue for a massless fermion traveling through a warped spacetime. A special kind of crystal called a Weyl semimetal served as “space.” Weyl semimetals are special because their electrons behave as if they were massless, always moving, explained Karl Landsteiner from the Autonomous University of Madrid.

They added a temperature gradient which was meant to stand in for gravity, and watched as the symmetry broke—the particles’ handedness swapped, resulting in an imbalance in the chirality. The researchers published their results today in the journal Nature.“So what it tells us about the world is that the gravitational anomaly effect might exist,” study author Johnannes Gooth from the University of Hamburg and IBM Research told Gizmodo. What the heck, you might think—temperature and gravity aren’t the same thing. This might even remind you of last year’s experiment where a scientist seemed to prove that black holes radiate, but used sound waves instead of real particles. But the scientists I spoke to, both those involved and outside sources, assured me that Albert Einstein’s theories imply that the temperature gradient and the energy gradient in gravity can be treated similarly. If something works for one, it should work for the other.“No one doubts the analogy between energy radiance and gravitational fields,” Sachdev told me.

This is pretty good as far as I’m concerned.” And observing the effect with gravity would be more or less impossible. You’d need a strong gravitational field,” Sachdev said. You’d probably have to go near a black hole, which no one has ever done.”You also might wonder why IBM cares about this. Aside from being a cool proof that the shape of space itself can influence particles, having this level of control over the behavior of moving electric charges could have important technological applications. There’s long been a thought that we could generate electricity simply through heat gradients, changing temperatures in some electricity- generating medium.

But this is a very inefficient process,” said Gooth. That’s because normal electrons are bad at this heat conversion process.

But we believe now with this gravitational anomaly we can circumvent certain limits and make this conversion very very efficient.”The thought is that one day in the future, this gravitational anomaly might let you charge your phone by rubbing it against your pants. Everyone I spoke to seemed to agree that these applications were far off, and were mainly excited about the observation of this wacky behavior in a wacky system. And there’s no limit to imagining where else it might occur.“This [gravitational anomaly] is obeyed in all certain kinds of physical systems,” said Gooth. It has to be obeyed in stars, the early universe or in our transistors.”[Nature].
