[quote:Seer777:MV8zMjM4NDkyXzY3Nzk2NTA2X0I4RDQ0NzRD] [quote:aether:MV8zMjM4NDkyXzY3Nzk1Nzg1X0Y4MzVFNzdF] [Quote:today]A new study by three MIT scholars has found that false news spreads more rapidly on the social network Twitter than real news does — and by a substantial margin. “We found that falsehood defuses significantly farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly than the truth, in all categories of information, and in many cases by an order of magnitude,” says Sinan Aral, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management and co-author of a new paper detailing the findings. “These findings shed new light on fundamental aspects of our online communication ecosystem,” says Deb Roy, an associate professor of media arts and sciences at the MIT Media Lab and director of the Media Lab’s Laboratory for Social Machines (LSM), who is also a co-author of the study. Roy adds that the researchers were “somewhere between surprised and stunned” at the different trajectories of true and false news on Twitter. Moreover, the scholars found, the spread of false information is essentially not due to bots that are programmed to disseminate inaccurate stories. Instead, false news speeds faster around Twitter due to people retweeting inaccurate news items.[/quote] http://news.mit.edu/2018/study-twitter-false-news-travels-faster-true-stories-0308 [/quote] MIT needed a study to find out gossip [i]spreads[/i] faster. lawl. :dasbier: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiyPRqP5glY[/youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiyPRqP5glY [/quote]

Duat (pronounced "do-aht") (also Tuat and Tuaut or Akert, Amenthes, Amenti, or Neter-khertet) was the realm of the dead in ancient Egyptian mythology. It was the realm of the deity Osiris and the residence of other gods and supernatural beings. The Duat was the region through which the sun god Ra traveled from west to east during the night, and where he battled Apep. It was also the place where people's souls went after death for judgement, though that was not the full extent of the afterlife.[1] Burial chambers formed touching-points between the mundane world and the Duat, and spirits could use tombs to travel back and forth from the Duat.
