While we have retreated to our caves, machines have taken the stage. Spot the robot dog, jet planes, Porsche 917/30's breathtaking engine, and more... It's a mechanical paradise for everyone involved. Before we switch the gears, today's headlines are as follows:
- EasyJet [revealed]( that a cyberattack resulted in the hacking of nine million customer accounts. The firm is currently investigating the breach.
- Nine days before the historic Crew Dragon launch, associate administrator for human exploration Douglas Loverro [has left](/cms/campaign/1002/interestingengineering.com/nasa-human-spaceflight-lead-quits-9-days-before-historic-crew-dragon-launch?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=mailing&utm_campaign=Newsletter-20-05-2020) NASA on May 18.
- On this day in 1932, Amelia Earhart landed near Londonderry, Ireland, becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Check out [this article]( to learn more about this enigmatic woman who mysteriously vanished over the Pacific Ocean.
From the Benjamin Button of parallel universes to a pretty awkward Zoom call, let's dive in.

A report by NASA scientists working on a project in Antarctica shows that a parallel universe may exist and that time runs backwards there. The scientists found particles, called tau neutrinos, coming back "up" from Earth, which implies that these particles have traveled back in time as they typically only come "down" to Earth.
It's complicated. You should probably check out the article to learn more about this one.
