David Gross, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, has said the chances that humanity survives another 50 years are very low. The French science magazine Science et Vie published his warning, and it is circulating widely in French-speaking online discussions. Gross, honoured for work on quantum chromodynamics, did not detail the specific risks behind his stark assessment.

Researchers have used a quantum simulator to observe a process capable of breaking quark strings, the bonds that bind quarks together inside particles. The simulation offers a rare window into string-breaking, a phenomenon in quantum chromodynamics that is otherwise impossible to track directly because quarks cannot be isolated. Physicists say such simulators could help probe questions that classical computers cannot handle.
