J.K. Rowling plagiarized Harry Potter — a popular fan theory that seems to make some sense. In 1994, a Brazilian children's show called Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum aired on TV. The plot revolves around a boy wizard who lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his aunt and uncle's house, befriends a magical hat, and forms a bond with a quirky elf. There's a magical castle with a secret room as well. There are so many similarities that you could lose count, but what's even funnier is that during the years when the show was actively broadcast, Rowling was living in Portugal with her family, where the series was quite popular among kids. However, this theory falls apart when it comes to dates: according to Rowling, by 1993, the first three chapters of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and a rough outline of the main plot were already completed.

A Russian employee was fired for playing World of Tanks at work, but a genius managed to be reinstated through the court.

As a result, the tank driver was reinstated in his position, the reprimands were revoked, and he was awarded 580,000 rubles in compensation for moral damages. The compensation will go towards purchasing premium ammunition.

In 20 years, we may be able to upload consciousness into robots and achieve immortality, according to Elon Musk. With Neuralink, it will be possible to copy memories, personality, and identity, and then transfer them into the metallic body of a Tesla Optimus robot. For now, this is just an idea, but Elon believes it could become a reality within the next 20 years, provided there is a breakthrough in neuroscience that allows us to accurately replicate consciousness. > "You won't remain exactly the same; after all, you'll have a robot body, and the imprint of your consciousness won't be completely precise. It will be very close to the original, but not absolutely perfect. On the other hand, can you really say you're exactly the same person you were five years ago?" Bad news for science fiction fans: a copy of your consciousness won't make you personally immortal, but it will give you an immortal double with identical thought processes. Wake up, Samurai.

The Chinese have rewritten atomic history: scientists from the Middle Kingdom have discovered a forgotten technology for cheap energy in American archives and brought the project to a working state. The results are impressive: the Chinese have managed to transform thorium-232 salt into pure uranium-233, which can be used for nuclear reactions. Thorium is approximately three times more abundant in the Earth's crust than uranium, does not require enrichment, and its waste produces minimal radiation. The Americans abandoned this technology 60 years ago—the project was shut down, and its ideological pioneer was sidelined. In 2011, the archives were opened, and Chinese scientists began studying and refining the synthesis method. The most astonishing part: this year, the Chinese discovered a thorium reserve that could provide energy for the country for the next 60,000 years.
