News Notes (publ. 2024-03-07)


I collect a lot URLs of that seem relevant to Biblical Creationism and also Israel, in science and political news. I'm going to try to share them occasionally in batches.


Astronomy


white dwarf stars


re: age of the universe


Discovery tests theory on cooling of white dwarf stars


> white dwarfs are routinely used as age indicators


> This new discovery will not only require that astronomy textbooks be revised but will also require that astronomers revisit the process they use to determine the age of stellar populations


dead galaxy at only 700 mA


re: JWST observations continue to surprise and confuse standard model


Astronomers spot oldest 'dead' galaxy yet observed


Botany


chloroplast RNA polymerase modeled


re: amazing irreducible complexity of chloroplast RNA polymerase


Photosynthetic secrets come to light


> It was discovered 50 years ago that chloroplasts contain their own unique RNA polymerase. Since then, scientists have been surprised how complex this enzyme is. It has more subunits than its ancestor, the bacterial RNA polymerase, and is even bigger than human RNA polymerases. The Webster group wanted to understand why chloroplasts have such a sophisticated RNA polymerase.


> Dr Webster said: "We know that each component of the chloroplast RNA polymerase has a vital role because plants that lack any one of them cannot make photosynthetic proteins and consequently cannot turn green.


Israel


Islamic terror groups call for attacks on Israelis abroad during Ramadan


Terrorists planning to hit Israelis abroad during Ramadan, warns National Security Council
