38. What am I now? What if I'm someone I don't want around?

Masterlist - Previously - Next

Chapter soundtrack: Falling - Harry Styles

Ethan didn’t usually like press conferences. He hated journalists most of the time. They always asked him the same questions over and over, hoping for a different answer each time. They were, most of the time, about his dad and their relationship and he hated that. But what he hated even more were press conferences with Martin.

“Lucy Van Hoecker for Sports 1, a question for Ethan. Rumors are that you are not going to renew your contract with Maserati for next year. Is there some truth in it?”

“Absolutely not. My contract with them does end at the end of the year but if I’m frank with you, the discussions about a renewal have not started yet. But I want to stay with the team and we all believe that I did a great job for the first part of the season with maximizing the points for the team. They know my love for the brand and how dedicated I am.”

“Oliver Stone, for Sky Sport, I have a question for Martin. We saw Ferrari make a big jump with the new package and are now closer to securing the P2 with a nice gap from Audi before the summer break. What are the goals for the second part of the season?”

“To fight in the front of course. We saw that we are starting to be able to fight with Lamborghini, we still are lacking race pace and the team works daily to improve on all aspects so we are able to have a weekend that we put together, from the free practices to the quali and the race. We made a huge step forward but now we need to improve on our consistency.

“Rose Almenovar for ESPN, another question for Martin. We all saw the rivalry on tracks between Ethan and yourself that led to probably the most outstanding battles on track for this first part of the season. Where is it coming from? Ethan can also answer.”

“I mean… Ethan is a great driver, it’s always amazing to be able to fight with someone like this. We are both hot headed on track so it has resulted in a few incidents but at the end of the day, that’s why we race. To be the best and for that you need to improve. And what is better than someone that is challenging you on all levels to do that? Even if sometimes I think that his driving style is not fit for Formula 1 and he might have a nice place in rallye. So if his contract is not renewed, maybe it’s a path that he can explore!” Martin added in a laugh, making Ethan clenched his jaw.

“At least, I have a driving style. It’s no blend like some drivers out there. It’s how I learned it.”

“Yeah, but is it really your driving style or did you just copy your dad?”

Feeling that it would implode soon, the journalists started to question Ludwig that was there as well and when it was finally all over, Ethan almost jumped out of the couch and ran to the exit. He could hear, someone walking fast behind him and a hand on his shoulder.

“Sorry, mate. I wanted it to be a joke but it didn’t come out as I wanted to.” said Martin.

“What? The rallye part or my dad? You’re so obsessed with him, if you are a fan just tell me I can ask him to sign you an autograph.” Ethan replied.

He was nervous. But not the good kind and Martin was not helping.

“Admit it, though… You are in F1 mostly because of your dad. It made it easier, you can’t blame me or any of the other drivers who actually worked their asses off to get there, to make fun of you. It’s not mean. You are just freaking privileged, admit it.”

“Would you tell that about Romy?” Ethan asked, stopping dead in his tracks and facing Martin.

“Romy is not the same…”

“No, because you are not jealous of her relationship with Julia. On the other hand, you hate that I have Julia and you don’t but guess what? She doesn’t care about you. She doesn’t care about your pathetic flirting attempts. She doesn’t care about you when she is in my bed moaning my name. She doesn’t think of you. Not even for a second.”

“Maybe I am jealous. Maybe I do think I would treat her better than you can. Because, you talk about her and act around her like she belongs to you. Like she was a prize that you won and let me tell you something, keep going and you’ll lose her. Because she might not be my girlfriend but I think I know her enough to say that she is not a bird that will be happy in the cage you are trapping her in. She is made to fly. But you are not ready to help her do that. You’ll screw up. In the same way you always screw up something on track. And I’ll be there to repair your mistakes.”

“I’ll show you who will screw up on Sunday. And that won’t be me I can assure you.”

“Is that a threat, Verstappen?”

“No. It’s a promise. I hope for your sake that you won’t start next to me.”

When Julia finally landed in Montreal, she was happy. Happy to finally see Ethan and to take him in her arms, happy to feel his lips on hers, happy to just be with him. She was looking forward to that. She was not happy to feel the cold air on her face. It was not cold, maybe she was exaggerating but it was colder than Monaco for sure. She shivered a little bit and couldn’t wait to go to her hotel to sleep and be ready for the race that was going to happen tomorrow. She wasn’t able to watch quali or the free practices, busy to sort everything out before she had to leave.

As soon as she arrived in her room, exhausted, she decided to catch up on what she had missed. She quickly looked over the qualifying results, and was so happy for Ethan’s P6. She sent him a quick text to tell him that she was very busy and only managed to see the results and that she hoped for a nice race tomorrow. She believed in him and even if she wouldn’t be able to watch the race tomorrow, she would think of him a lot and was sending him with all her strength. She felt bad to lie to him, she wanted nothing more but to tell him she was there, not far away from him but she hoped the surprise effect would work. She smiled imagining his face, not expecting her. She had everything ready, she would hide in the Ferrari’s garage and when the race would be over she would come out, wearing a Maserati’s shirt with his number 32 embroidered on her back. She was so excited.

It was late in the city, the sign that she needed to sleep. But before, she wanted to hear his voice one last time. She set up the qualifying interview and watched Ethan’s determined face appear.

“You’ll start behind Martin’s Ferrari tomorrow. What can we expect?”

“Well, it will be something to watch for sure, so I would be you, I would keep an eye on that first corner. I’m very focused on tomorrow and I really want to end the first part of the season on a high note.”

“So, any ideas on the strategy tomorrow?”

“Well, you will have to wait and see!” he ended the interview with a smile.

She didn’t really like what she could see in his eyes and she hoped with everything she had that he wouldn’t try anything stupid.

Julia was biting her nails inside the garage, her eyes glued to the screen and her headphones comfortably resting on her ears. Ethan’s post qualifying interview worried her. She had never seen him so ready to fight. She didn’t know if it was because Martin was P5, him P6 and considering their rivalry he just wanted to show him who was the best, or maybe he just wanted to end the first part of the season of the high but still, she was stressed out.

The formation lap went on without any incidents and now they only have to wait for the start. Julia found a chair in the back and dragged it in a corner to be away and hidden from the cameras. She didn’t want to be seen and she didn’t want to admit that she could feel her legs shaking. There was utter silence in the garage until the lights went out. Kyle took off very well, quickly followed by Romy that was going to attack at the first corner. She was so focused on them that she didn’t notice the red car going off the track, turning on itself, upside down until it flipped off of the barrier. The focused silence turned into a scary one as soon as the whole team registered what just happened. They were all focused on the start and what was in front that they didn’t see what was happening straight away.

“Martin? Martin? Do you hear me?” it was his race engineer that she was hearing.

On the screen they showed a replay of the start from Martin’s point of view. Everyone could see a wheel making a slight contact with his rear, making him slide off the track. First, two spins before by an unknown matter, the car kept spinning around but this time upside down. Normally, the gravel should have slowed him down but it hadn’t been the case, making Julia think that the security didn’t really check the track before, to finally ended up flipping over the barrier, near the grand stand. Julia could see the medics and firemen rushing to his side as flames could be seen coming off the engine. Panic started to arise in Julia as they were struggling to approach the car. The race was obviously suspended and she didn’t see straight away Elijah coming back, visibly shaken and running to her dad’s side. Probably to see if he had some news. On the broadcast they were still showing multiple points of view from the crash until it came to Ethan. She didn’t need the sound to understand what happened out there. The slight but very determined swerve to the left, wasn’t leaving much to imagination. It had been deliberate to the point that when Julia finally processed the information she had to throw up in the first bin she found.

She couldn’t believe it. How could he have been this stupid? Even more than that. She was furious but it would be a concern for later. She managed to stand up searching for any information. Her dad was standing with Elijah. They both looked pale and Julia ran to them.

“Any news?” she asked.

“The firemen managed to stop the fire, that’s a good thing. He is alive, so that’s a relief. The only concern we have is that they can’t get him out of there, the car embedded itself between the two sets of barriers. They would need to touch the car to get him out of there but they can’t touch anything before the ambulance arrived. So now, we have to wait.” her dad explained, in a calm voice despite the evident worry in his eyes.

“Do you know what happened?” the look he gave her was all she needed to have the confirmation that he had the same conclusion as her.

“I’m sorry Julia, but I can’t let that move from Ethan slide. It was not a race incident, he did it on purpose.”

“I know and I agree. I.. I can’t believe he would do something like that…”

On the screens of the race control she could finally see the medics doing their job and it’s a little relieved that she saw a shaking Martin, barely standing on his legs coming out of the car under the applause of the fans. Two medics were standing next to him, supporting him and almost dragging him to the car.

“I wish I could go to him…” sighed Charles.

“I’ll go. I’ll keep you posted. I don’t want to stay here anyway and I want to be useful. The ambulance will come here, right?” seeing her dad nodding, she added “I’ll go wait for them, then. I’ll see you later.”

In Maserati’s garage, Ethan never looked so pale. No one was looking at him, not even Chloe. He had tried to talk to his team principal but the look he gave him quickly discouraged him to do so. He had never intended for the crash to be that violent. He just wanted to send Martin in the techpro. He never thought that it would end like that. He should have known better, he should know that the slightest touch in the wrong place could cause a massive crash. He wanted to hide. He wanted to crawl somewhere and never come back. He felt like there was an invisible hand squeezing his throat but he couldn’t get out of the garage, the cameras would find him. Immediately he imagined the reactions in the media and it hit him like a truck at full speed. He might just have given the final blow to his career. No one would trust him on the track anymore. And only because he had been petty and jealous of a guy. He felt tears in his eyes and immediately put back his helmet and the visor down.

“Ethan. Come here for a minute."He recognised his team principal’s voice and without a word, he followed him. “We are summoned to the FIA office, right now. They want to hear your version of the incident before deciding on what they will do.”

He didn’t say a word and walked in the paddock to the FIA control center as fast as he could.

“We watched the replays and we want to understand what happened. From what we can see there was no need for you to swerve like that, you had no one besides you. So, a simple question, was it intentional?”

“Yes.” he didn’t want to lie, he wanted to own up to his mistake and hope for the best. “Martin and I, we don't see eye to eye, and I know it’s no excuses, really. I just wanted to send him off the track, that’s all, I didn’t want it to be like that. Is he okay?”

“He is on his way to the hospital, that’s all we will be saying. So it was your choice only to do that, right? No team orders?”

“No, if you want a culprit, that’s me.”

“In that case… We are giving you eleven penalty points. Meaning as from now on, you’ll only have one point left on your super license.”

Ethan gulped. There was no room for mistakes now, even the slightest or it would be a one-race ban. On one hand it wasn’t the end of the world, it could have been worse. But knowing that he could have prevented it, that the sanction and the reason would always hang over his head… that made him feel bad. He felt like shit.

“I understand,” he said in a low voice.

When he left the office, his team principal was still waiting for him.

“The race will resume in fifteen minutes. You understand that I don’t want you to go back there. Not after today. Go home, Ethan. Focus on yourself, get yourself together for the sake of the team but for you most importantly. Because what you did today, that’s something I don’t want to see. I’m ashamed of you. You don’t deserve the race suit you are wearing. You are not worthy of it. I don’t want you near the media, I want you to lay low. I want everybody to forget your existence.”

Ethan never felt so alone in his entire life. He quickly came back to his driver’s room, got rid of his suit for more casual clothes and quickly headed out. He knew what he had to do and that was starting with going to see Charles to apologize. He hoped he would hear him out. He still had time but had to be quick, nonetheless. He spotted the Ferrari’s team principal talking to his mechanics near the mountains of debris of corrugated iron. When Charles saw him, he had a dark look on his face. He quickly approached him, taking him by the arms, almost dragging him to the back.

“What are you doing here? Don’t you think you’ve done enough?” Charles said in a cold voice.

“Charles, please..”

“It’s Mister Leclerc, from now on.”

“I… I didn’t mean for any of it to happen… I just… I.. I have no excuses. I’m wrong on so many levels. Is he okay?”

“In the hospital for some check ups. That’s all you need to know. Now excuse me, I have to inspect the damage you caused and try to figure out a way to not break the budget cap. I might ask Maserati to pay for them, after all. Or maybe you should. A way to own up to your mistakes, to grow up. I thought your dad was stupid and dangerous when he first started and god knows that some crashes he caused could have ended up badly but congrats Ethan, you might have found a way to surpass him.”

Ethan wasn’t expecting a warm welcome from Charles, of course not, but a part of him thought he would at least ask how he was doing, that he would care. If Ethan might have needed a wake up call, it might have been the one. He felt like his world was completely shattering around him, as if he was a human bomb and had willingly pressed the detonator button. If he was losing everything, he only had himself to blame. His mind drifted off to Julia, on the other side of the world. What was he going to say to her? Would she even listen? He shook his head, that would be a cross to bridge later, right now, he had something very important to do.

After asking some very nice medics, he was able to know where Martin had been transported to. And after a little flirtation with the woman in her fifties at the desk, he managed to get his room number. Arriving at the right floor, he gulped. What was he going to say? I’m sorry for almost killing you, it was not on purpose, I just wanted you to DNF? That sounded so stupid and even worse than a simple I’m sorry. For a minute he wondered if it was a good idea. If Martin even wanted to see him. As he approached the room, his hands slightly sweating, he could hear laughs in the room. He wasn’t alone. In a way it was reassuring, if he wanted to punch Ethan at least someone would be there to stop him.

He took a deep breath and knocked before hearing a ‘come in’. He slowly opened the door and almost shut it right away when he saw Julia in there. The laughter died down as soon as they saw Ethan. Martin looked at him with a surprised face, clearly not expecting him and Julia look was cold. Ethan’s eyes were glued on her and he swore that he had never seen her looking at him like that, even when she hated him. It was a mix between cold anger, disappointment and sadness.

“What are you doing here?” she asked, her emotionless voice contrasted with the look on her face.

“I wanted to see Martin…”

“Why? To finish what you started? Trying to kill him on the tracks wasn’t enough?”

She was standing up now, and he could see the tears in her eyes. He didn’t know what to say. All he wanted was to try to make things right, for once. Not only to appease his mind but also for the people around him, for her.

“Julia, please… let me explain?”

“Explain what? That you deliberately made him crash? That you didn’t care about the amount of work the mechanics and the engineers are going to put into repairing the car. People that have families, that don’t travel in private jets or sleep in five star hotels, people that are dedicating their lives to the sport despite how hard it is. But of course, you don’t think about them. you don’t care. Because you only care about yourself, your little comfort. You don’t care about the people around you.”

“I just… I just wanted to say sorry to you Martin… I… I never wanted that to happen… I…” he stuttered, feeling powerless for the first time in his life.

“Leave Ethan. You don’t have anything to do here.” she said and as she was moving away he tried to grip her hands in a desperate attempt to feel her warmth, to feel like he had not massively fucked up, only to feel a warm sting on his right cheek. “I don’t recognise you. I don’t like the guy that was out there today. I don’t want to see you. I don’t want to hear from you. I want you to leave me alone. And don’t bother coming with me to the wedding. I prefer to go alone than to be near you.”

It was the last straw. He clenched his jaw and nodded, his eyes looking at his surroundings but avoiding her. He closed his eyes, trying to get back his composure and without a second look, he left. He didn’t know how he made it unscathed to the hospital parking lot but when he finally was out, his knees buckled under him making him fall to the ground and he let his emotions out in the open. The frustration, the sadness, the anger against himself… everything. He could feel his body shaking as tears were flowing out of his eyes and running down his cheeks. He didn’t try to stop them, he couldn’t and didn’t want to. He didn’t know how long he stayed there, alone, he only knew that he was exhausted and that he needed to wake up from this nightmare.

In the hospital room, it was deadly silent, only interrupted by the heart monitor and its regular beeps. Julia was still looking at the door, her breathing heavy and her cheeks red. The lighter mood that Martin had tried to set up in a desperate attempt to make her smile was long gone.

“Julia…”

“Don’t. I don’t want to talk about it.” she said abruptly.

“You were harsh with him. I’m not trying to excuse him, I really don’t. He fucked up and what he did was not okay. Not at all but… I think I know why he did it and I think it’s also my fault.”

“Nothing can justify what he has done, Martin. It could have been so much worse than that.”

“But it’s not. See, I’m alive and well. What I mean is, I did say a few not so nice things out of spite and because I knew he would react. I brought this on myself too. I know his dad is a really sensitive topic and still, I used that against him. I just didn’t know you were also a very sensitive one, maybe even more sensitive than his dad. I think it’s what made him snap. Don’t be too harsh on him, he is remorseful enough. I’ve never seen him like this, I think it says enough.”

Julia sighed, rubbing her eyes. She was exhausted and she could feel the headache pounding.

“You are idiots. Both of you. Not for the same reasons but still. You know how he is, you know how he reacts. You are always trying to pick on him, you knew that at some point it would end badly. I just… I can’t believe it. All of this for what? What good did it make? It’s a lose-lose situation.”

“I’m sorry, Julia. For everything. For the situation I put you in because I was jealous, for what happened with Ethan because I can see how it impacts you and the last thing I want is to see you sad, for the friendship we could have if I hadn’t been so stubborn and insistent with you… I’m sorry about a lot of things.”

“Not as sorry as I am. I’m sorry if I made you think that there could have been something between us.”

“And I’m sorry I’ve crossed so many lines and boundaries.”

“It ‘s all good…” she whispered as he took her hand in his to squeeze it lightly.

“I’ll always be there for you. As a friend. Nothing more. I learned my lesson.”

She smiled gently at him, nodding her head and squeezed his hand as well. It was late when she left the hospital. Martin would be discharged the next day and that was a relief. They only wanted to keep him for the night, just to make sure everything was alright. She was exhausted. Mentally exhausted. And when she saw her dad waiting for her, in front of her room, she ran to him and cried like she had never cried before. When she finally ran out of tears, she looked at her dad.

“Martin is okay.”

“He called me, I know. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. You’ve been through a lot today with…”

“He came. To the hospital. I’ve never seen him so distraught, so ashamed, so lost and his eyes dad… they looked empty. I want to be mad, I’m mad. I’m even more than that. I want to hate him for what he has done, for what he puts the team through but…”

“You love him.” he finished at her place.

“I do… more than anything.” it made her feel good to finally say it. “I just want to understand. I want to know what went through his mind. But at the same time, i’m not sure how we would recover from something like that.”

“You both need to talk. Would you ask me, I would tell you to not go near him even if I know that he wouldn’t hurt you. It’s just… I’ve never expected him to do something like that. It scares me, Ju’.”

“I told him horrible things dad, things that I didn’t mean. I didn’t even let him talk, I…”

“It’s okay. Breathe. You were mad, you let your emotions get the best of you. I did too. I saw him and I did some things that hurt him, as well.”

“I need to call him. I want to know that he is okay.”

Her dad nodded and kissed her on the forehead before leaving her, not without telling her that he was at the end of the corridor if she needed him.

Julia entered her room and sat down on her bed, her knees up against her chest. She took off her phone, finally noticing the hundreds of texts and calls that she had missed. She quickly read them until she was a few from Kat and Max, worried about the fact that they couldn’t reach Ethan, that he was not answering his phone. It was the same for Kyle and Ludwig, she even had a text from Chloe. The last one was from a couple of minutes ago. She felt a lump in her throat. Shaking, she tried calling him as well, only to end up straight on his voicemail.

“Ethan please, it’s me… I know that maybe you don’t want to hear from me, after what I said but… please, answer to someone. We are all freaking scared. I’m scared. I need to know you’re okay. Please.”

Author's note: Yikes... Ethan, what did you do? What do you think will happen next? Let me know your theories, I love to read them.

Don't hesitate to leave a comment or an ask, as well as reblogging and leaving a like. Besides the fact that I absolutely love to read you, it helps a lot for the story to find its audience. I also have a taglist for this story, so if you want to be added so you never miss a chapter, let me know.

lud being like baby’s first capitalism isn’t all good “i don’t need more money and made workers co-op” versus just sheer evil “I have no unmonetizable hobbies” made me want to die

REAL like sorry he does not want to maximize his brand and turn earth into Ludwig World. if i had a son who was watching that iced coffee podcast every week i think i'd have to put him down

Free

FREE /friː/ -able to act or be done as one wishes; not under the control of another.- Freya Ludwig's past of solitude soon changes as she meets the main squad of the Scout Regiment. But is she just another slave of loneliness or will she find the one to set her free? From Attack On Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin, An Eren Jaeger x Fem!OC Story.

𝔣𝔬𝔲𝔯

𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚝 ← ᴘʀᴇᴠ ɴᴇxᴛ → 𝔪𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱

"Since you're going to be joining us, I thought it would be a good idea for you to learn to use our vertical maneuvering gear," Commander Hange explained happily.

"Sure," I shrugged, replying to their display with a smile.

"Eren personally asked to help you," they added.

"Oh," I let out. "That's nice, I guess."

"Come to the yard after you've finished."

I gave them a slight nod, finishing the last bite of bread that I was given for breakfast. I slowly sipped on my drink, careful not to choke.

Once I was done, I did as told and found myself walking towards the yard outside. I saw Eren's figure near what looked like two poles connected by dark straps. It somewhat reminded me of the swings at kids' playgrounds back in Marley. I approached him, earning a soft smile from him.

"Am I supposed to go in that?" I gave a disgusted look. "It looks like a torture machine," my lips frowned as I looked at the thing and then back at him.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine," he assured but it felt a little dismissive to me.

"For your information, I just finished eating-"

"Don't worry, this is just for you to learn to balance," he let out a small chuckle.

"God, okay," I nervously accepted.

Firstly, he explained to me how it works and what exactly I was supposed to do. Then he added, "But in the end, it depends on skills."

As if that would help me relax.

But I took his advice and tried it myself. And surprisingly enough, I managed to balance myself.

"Woah, this is actually kinda cool!" I exclaimed.

"See, you're good at it," he said a little excitedly.

"Yeah, I'm actually good at- Woah-"

I was almost too hung up on the excitement that I had forgotten the moment. I would've fallen forward had it not been for my legs lifting up to reinstate my balance.

My fingers gripped tightly by the sides to maximize my stability. And I would've fallen had it not been for his hands on my waist, holding me up.

"Sorry," I sheepishly let out.

"It's fine," he shook his head lightly. "Do you wanna get out and try again?"

He was close to me.

I lifted up my head slightly just so our eyes could meet. And maybe at the moment, it meant nothing.

Not yet, at least.

But I liked his eyes. They were green, with specks of blue hue. In some lighting, they might even look turquoise. But more than the color, I admired the softness behind them as he looked at me.

Still, it meant nothing to me at the time.

"Yes, please," I nodded with a smile.

And he allowed me to try again. And again. And again. Until I felt satisfied with my own performance. Since he himself wouldn't display his satisfaction verbally, only asking me if I was done or if I wanted to try again.

Just that day, that's all we did.

Scientists find a common thread linking subatomic color glass condensate and massive black holes Physicists show that black holes and dense state of gluons—the “glue” particles that hold nuclear matter together—share common features The Science Physicists have discovered a remarkable correspondence between dense states of gluons—the gluelike carriers of the strong nuclear force within atomic nuclei—and enormous black holes in the cosmos. The dense walls of gluons, known as a color glass condensate (CGC), are generated in collisions of atomic nuclei. This CGC measures a mere 10-19 kilometers across—less than a billionth of a kilometer. Black holes, in contrast, span billions of kilometers across. The new work shows that both systems are made of densely packed, self-interacting force carrier particles. In CGC, those particles are gluons. In black holes, those particles are gravitons. Both gluons in CGC and gravitons in black holes are organized in the most efficient manner possible for each system’s energy and size. The Impact The high degree of order in CGC and black holes is driven by each system packing in the maximal amount of quantum “information” possible about the particles’ features. This includes their spatial distributions, velocities, and collective forces. Such limits on “information” content are universal. This means the research suggests that quantum information science could provide novel organizing principles for understanding these widely different systems. The mathematical correspondence between these systems also means that studying each can improve our understanding of the other. Of particular interest are comparisons of gravitational shockwaves in black hole mergers with gluon shockwaves in nuclear collisions. Summary Scientists study the strong force in nuclear collisions. For example, at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a Department of Energy user facility, atomic nuclei accelerated close to the speed of light become dense walls of gluons known as color glass condensate (CGC). When the nuclei collide, CGC evolves to form a nearly perfect liquid of quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks that make up all visible matter. Though the strong force operates at subatomic scales, this recent analysis by scientists at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, the Max Planck Institute for Physics, and Brookhaven National Laboratory shows that CGC shares features with black holes, enormous conglomerates of gravitons that exert gravitational force across the universe. Both sets of self-interacting particles appear to organize themselves in a way that satisfies a universal limit on the amount of entropy, or disorder, that can exist in each system. This mathematical correspondence points to similarities between black hole formation, thermalization, and decay and what happens when walls of gluons collide in nuclear collisions at ultrarelativistic speeds—near the speed of light. The limit on entropy that drives this correspondence is related to maximal information packing—a key feature of quantum information science (QIS). QIS may therefore further inform scientists’ understanding of gluons, gravitons, CGC, and black holes. This approach may also advance the design of quantum computers that use cold atoms to simulate and address questions about these complex systems. IMAGE....Black holes with dimensions of billions of kilometers (left, as imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope) share features with a dense state of subatomic gluons created in collisions of atomic nuclei (right).

First Brain Chip Implant from Musk's Neuralink a Success: Patient Played Online Chess, Civilization VI - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/first-brain-chip-implant-from-musks-neuralink-a-success-patient-played-online-chess-civilization-vi-technology-org/

First Brain Chip Implant from Musk's Neuralink a Success: Patient Played Online Chess, Civilization VI - Technology Org

Elon Musk’s Neuralink showcased its first brain-chip patient after a successful implantation procedure playing online chess through a live stream on Wednesday.

Noland Arbaugh, a 29-year-old individual paralyzed below the shoulder due to a diving accident, utilized his mind to maneuver the cursor on his laptop via the Neuralink device. This innovative implant aims to empower individuals to manipulate a computer cursor or keyboard solely through their thoughts.

Arbaugh, who had received the Neuralink implant in January, was previously able to control a computer mouse with his thoughts, as disclosed by Musk last month.

In the streamed video on Musk’s social media platform X, Arbaugh expressed his satisfaction with the ease of the surgical procedure, stating, “The surgery was super easy. I literally was released from the hospital a day later. I have no cognitive impairments.”

Livestream of @Neuralink demonstrating “Telepathy” – controlling a computer and playing video games just by thinking https://t.co/0kHJdayfYy

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 20, 2024

Reflecting on his newfound capability, Arbaugh remarked he has given up playing his favorite video game, Civilization VI, and that Neuralink gave him the ability to do that again, mentioning that he had played for 8 hours straight.

Kip Ludwig, a former program director for neural engineering at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, remarked that what Neuralink demonstrated was not a “breakthrough.” He elaborated, stating, “It is still in the very early days post-implantation, and there is a lot of learning on both the Neuralink side and the subject’s side to maximize the amount of information for control that can be achieved.”

Nonetheless, Ludwig recognized the positive impact on the patient, noting that interfacing with a computer in a manner previously unattainable was a significant development.
