A physics paper with an official publication date of Jan 2025, "On the same origin of quantum physics and general relativity from Riemannian geometry and Planck scale formalism", already has an expression of concern. If a paper is retracted before it is published, does the journal vanish in a catastrophic spacetime paradox?

Turns out infrared thermometers don't get the temperature of water right.
Alerted to this when dying a shirt.
IR thermometer said 85°C - while I wondered why the water was gently bubbling.
Digging out a mercury thermometer revealed why - it was at simmering at 100°C.

The shirt still seems to have dyed okay.

Any physicist care to explain?

Physicists Use Quantum Mechanics to Pull Energy out of Nothing | Quanta Magazine

The quantum energy teleportation protocol was proposed in 2008 and largely ignored. Now two independent experiments have shown that it works.

#Today is the late, great #StephenHawking’s 81st birthday. His passion for making complex physics and cosmology concepts accessible to the public has inspired countless individuals to learn and think deeply about the universe. Thank you for your invaluable contributions to science and for leaving a lasting legacy.
