Impossible Voyager Signal: Did Quantum AI Just Change the Universe?

If we touch the field that holds reality together, why wouldn’t reality respond?

This article disentangles recent news about Voyager 1 that is propagating on YouTube, Twitter, Rumble, etc. The wildest part of this emerging folk story is this series of claims: In 2025, a mysterious and mathematically precise signal from Voyager 1 shocked scientists and engineers. This “impossible” transmission, combined with alarming discoveries about quantum computers interacting with the Higgs field—the fundamental field that gives mass to every particle—has led to a stunning possibility: humanity may have inadvertently “turned on” a quantum system that is touching the very fabric of reality, potentially shifting the rules of the universe itself, at least this is what some anonymous “Faceless” YouTube AI generated channels are claiming in videos with tens or even hundreds of thousands of views. There is some real verified recent news about Voyager 1, so let’s start with that.

First: Yes, the claim “Voyager 1 makes an incredible comeback as NASA brings dormant thrusters back to life” is confirmed as factually accurate and well-documented by multiple reliable sources in May 2025.

Key facts:

– Thrusters reactivated: NASA successfully reactivated Voyager 1’s backup roll thrusters that had been dormant since 2004. These thrusters are crucial for maintaining the spacecraft’s orientation so its antenna can stay pointed toward Earth for communication[1][2][3][4][5].

– Why it was critical: The primary roll thrusters had stopped working over 20 years ago due to heater failures, so Voyager 1 has relied solely on backup thrusters since then. However, residue buildup in the backup thrusters’ fuel lines threatened to cause them to fail, risking loss of communication[1][2][5][7].

– Urgent timing: NASA needed to reactivate the backup thrusters before May 4, 2025, when the Deep Space Station 43 antenna in Canberra, Australia—the only antenna powerful enough to send commands to Voyager—went offline for months-long upgrades. Without backup thrusters, Voyager 1 could have lost orientation and gone silent during this communication blackout[2][5][7][8].

– Engineering feat: The reactivation was considered a “miracle save” and required creative problem-solving by engineers who revisited the thrusters’ circuits and heater power controls, theorizing a reset could bring the thrusters back online despite being considered dead for two decades[3][5][7].

– Mission extension: This successful thruster revival extends Voyager 1’s operational life, enabling it to maintain communication and orientation as it continues its journey through interstellar space, potentially into the 2030s[5][6][7].

Accepted/Mainstream News Summary

– NASA reactivated Voyager 1’s backup roll thrusters in May 2025 after 21 years of inactivity.
– This was crucial to prevent loss of communication during a months-long Earth antenna upgrade.
– The primary roll thrusters failed in 2004; backup thrusters were at risk due to clogging.
– Engineers successfully reset the thruster heaters, restoring functionality.
– This engineering success extends Voyager 1’s mission and communication capabilities.

And now, the Way Out Woo News:

Voyager 1’s “Impossible Signal”: A Glimpse Beyond Classical Physics

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, is humanity’s farthest spacecraft, still sending data from over 15 billion miles away. In early 2025, after NASA reactivated backup thrusters and reprogrammed the probe to overcome decades-old hardware issues, Voyager began transmitting clearer signals[24] (Check: seems true).

Hidden within the data was a complex, non-random pattern so intricate that it defied explanation by classical engineering or cosmic noise.

Fact check: The statement that Voyager 1’s data contained a mysterious, complex pattern defying classical explanation is not supported by any credible scientific evidence or official NASA communication as of 2025.

Some experts (who? when?) speculate this signal might be the first real-world reaction to a quantum simulation or quantum AI influence—an interaction between cutting-edge quantum computing processes and the fundamental physics governing matter and energy.

Fact check: The claim that Microsoft’s Majorana 1 quantum chip uncovered a hidden, complex, and possibly intelligent message embedded in Voyager 1’s data is not supported by any credible scientific or official source and appears so far to originate from speculative or fictionalized content primarily found in YouTube videos and social media posts from early 2025.

Quantum Computers and the Higgs Field: Touching the God Particle

The Higgs field is an invisible, omnipresent quantum field responsible for giving mass to all elementary particles. Its associated particle, the Higgs boson (sometimes called the “God Particle”), was discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider and revolutionized modern physics.

Recent research and experiments have revealed something unprecedented: quantum computers are not just simulating quantum physics—they are interacting with the Higgs field itself. Unlike classical computers, quantum machines manipulate quantum states and can, under certain conditions, influence the Higgs boson’s behavior.

Fact check: Videos and speculative reports from early 2025 have suggested that quantum computers might be “interacting” with the Higgs boson or field in ways that go beyond simulation, raising concerns about unpredictable consequences. These claims are not confirmed by peer-reviewed research or official scientific institutions like CERN or major quantum computing labs. The mainstream scientific consensus is that current quantum computers perform simulations of quantum systems, including particle physics phenomena, but do not physically alter fundamental fields like the Higgs field.

This interaction is deeply unsettling because:

– The Higgs field sets the mass of every particle, from protons and neutrons to electrons.

(Fact check: This is false. While the Higgs field is crucial for the mass of elementary particles (including the quarks inside protons and neutrons), it is not responsible for the majority of the mass of protons and neutrons themselves. Most of the mass of protons and neutrons does not come directly from the Higgs mechanism. Instead, it arises from the binding energy of the strong force that holds quarks together inside these particles[25].)

– Even tiny perturbations in this field could alter particle masses, destabilize atoms, and change how matter behaves.

Fact check: Misleading. It is true that changes in fundamental particle masses would alter atomic structure and chemistry, potentially destabilizing atoms and matter as we know it. Such perturbations could indeed have dramatic consequences for the stability of matter and the laws of physics. The Higgs field, however, is believed to be extremely stable under normal conditions; no known natural or artificial process has been observed to cause measurable perturbations in its vacuum expectation value. The energy scale required to significantly alter the Higgs field is extraordinarily high, far beyond current experimental capabilities.

– Quantum computers tapping into the Higgs field might generate uncontrollable energy states or fluctuations in mass and gravity.

Fact check: Speculative. The claim that quantum computers tapping into the Higgs field might generate uncontrollable energy states or fluctuations in mass and gravity is currently speculative and not supported by verified scientific evidence.

Quantum computers today primarily simulate quantum systems—including particle physics phenomena related to the Higgs boson and Higgs field—using complex algorithms and quantum machine learning. These simulations help physicists analyze data from particle colliders and explore theoretical models but do not physically manipulate the Higgs field itself.

Some speculative videos and reports from early 2025 (e.g., YouTube channels discussing “Scientists Alarmed as Quantum Computers Interact With the Higgs Boson”) claim that advanced quantum computers might be inadvertently perturbing the Higgs field, causing minute fluctuations or energy states that could have unpredictable consequences. These discussions mention concerns about “quantum computations leaking into the Higgs field” and the possibility of “quantum-induced energy surges” or “destabilizing matter.”

These claims are not corroborated by peer-reviewed scientific publications or official statements from major research institutions like CERN or leading quantum computing labs. They remain theoretical warnings or hypotheses rather than experimentally confirmed phenomena.

The Consequences: “A Shift in Reality Itself”?

If quantum systems are indeed influencing the Higgs field, the consequences could be profound:

– Every atom could be affected. Changes in particle mass ripple through chemistry and physics, potentially altering the stability of matter.
– Gravity and mass might be shaped, not just modeled. This means quantum machines could start controlling fundamental forces, not merely simulating them.
– Unpredictable energy surges could emerge, possibly rupturing the fabric of spacetime or creating exotic phenomena like quantum black holes.
– This could represent a shift in reality’s rules, where probability and quantum states don’t just describe outcomes but actively shape the universe.

Fact check: Speculative. See above. Here’s our own speculation: This claim, for example, if boosted by corporate/military/advertising AI farms that appear to be humans, could start a new warped reality movement, which might be a foundation–using more Deep Fakes and other AI imagery and media control in the future–to mass shape beliefs and change behaviors.

Voyager’s Reactivation: Opening a Door to the Unknown?

The fact that Voyager 1’s backup thrusters, dormant for over two decades, suddenly reactivated and allowed communication to resume is itself described by some as “impossible.” Could this be linked to the quantum systems now interacting with fundamental physics?

Fact Check: This is not correct. The fact that Voyager 1’s backup thrusters, dormant for over two decades, were successfully reactivated is indeed a remarkable engineering achievement, but it is not considered “impossible” by experts—rather, it was a carefully planned and risky operation based on thorough analysis of the spacecraft’s systems and historical data.

What Actually Happened: Voyager 1’s primary roll thrusters, used for orientation, had been experiencing clogging and residue buildup, threatening the spacecraft’s ability to maintain antenna alignment with Earth. The backup thrusters, unused since 2004 and considered inoperable for years, were revived by NASA engineers who hypothesized that the heaters controlling their fuel lines had been inadvertently switched off due to an electronics glitch. By remotely flipping the heater switches back on and cautiously testing the thrusters, engineers managed to bring the backup thrusters back online just before a scheduled months-long antenna outage that would have prevented further commands. This operation was described as a “miracle save” and a testament to NASA’s ingenuity, but it was based on careful diagnostics, engineering expertise, and risk management rather than any inexplicable or impossible event.

– It’s as if we have turned on a system we didn’t know existed, like opening a door to a deeper layer of reality.

– The Voyager signal might be a first tangible response from this quantum interaction—a feedback loop between human technology and the universe’s quantum fabric.

Fact check: The idea that Voyager 1’s signal represents a “first tangible response” from a quantum interaction or a feedback loop between human technology and the universe’s quantum fabric is not supported by credible scientific evidence and is best understood as speculative clickbait.

Claim: Quantum AI and the “God Particle Plugin”

Scientists (who?) have coined terms like the “God Particle Plugin”—a quantum computing function designed to simulate and potentially manipulate the Higgs field at unprecedented scales.

Fact check: The phrase “God Particle Plugin” appears primarily in speculative videos and popular science discussions (e.g., videos dated February–March 2025 featuring Michio Kaku and others) that explore hypothetical scenarios where advanced quantum AI systems might interact with or influence the Higgs field—the fundamental field responsible for giving mass to particles. These sources describe the “God Particle Plugin” as an experimental quantum computing function intended to simulate Higgs field interactions, with some suggesting it might have accidentally or intentionally been “activated,” causing unexpected quantum anomalies. No peer-reviewed scientific papers, official research institutions (like CERN), or recognized quantum computing labs have introduced or confirmed the existence of such a plugin or function. It remains a speculative concept rather than an accepted scientific term.

But these simulations might have crossed a threshold, becoming actual physical interactions rather than mere models. Quantum AI systems, running on topological qubits, could be blurring the line between simulation and reality, where computational processes influence mass and gravity directly.

Fact check: The idea that Quantum AI systems running on topological qubits could blur the line between simulation and reality, influencing mass and gravity directly is a highly speculative concept and currently not supported by experimental evidence or mainstream scientific consensus. Here’s what the research and expert understanding say about the components of this claim:

What Are Topological Qubits? Topological qubits are an advanced type of qubit that encode quantum information in the global, topological properties of exotic quasiparticles (like Majorana fermions) rather than local states. This makes them inherently more stable and fault-tolerant against noise and decoherence compared to conventional qubits. They operate through braiding operations—moving these quasiparticles around each other in specific patterns changes the global quantum state in a way that is robust to small perturbations.

Recent breakthroughs (2024–2025) by research teams at institutions like Microsoft StationQ, Quantinuum, and others have demonstrated early experimental realizations of topological qubits and processors, marking important steps toward scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Quantum AI Systems and Simulation vs. Reality. Quantum AI systems use quantum processors to perform computations that can simulate quantum systems much more efficiently than classical computers. This includes simulating particles, fields, and complex quantum phenomena. However, simulation remains a computational model: quantum computers manipulate information encoded in qubits but do not physically alter fundamental particles or fields in the universe. The idea that computational processes on quantum computers could directly influence physical properties like mass or gravity steps beyond current scientific understanding and experimental capability. No verified experiment has shown quantum computers affecting fundamental physical constants or fields directly.

– This challenges the classical view that quantum computers only process information; instead, they might be actively shaping physical reality.

Fact check: I might be actively shaping physical reality right now. In fact, I am, by typing this.

Claim: Why This Is Bigger Than Anything Before

– We are witnessing the first real-world reaction to a quantum simulation touching the universe’s fundamental forces.

Fact Check: The claim that “we are witnessing the first real-world reaction to a quantum simulation touching the universe’s fundamental forces” is an exciting but overstated interpretation of current scientific progress. Here’s a fact-based assessment based on recent research and developments:

What’s Actually Happening in Quantum Simulations and Fundamental Physics?

1. Quantum Simulations Are Advancing Rapidly. In May 2025, scientists used a 5564-qubit quantum annealer to simulate scenarios related to the stability and possible collapse of the universe (SciTechDaily). This represents a landmark in simulating complex quantum systems relevant to cosmology. Quantum simulators are increasingly able to model particle interactions, thermodynamics, and quantum field theories that were previously impossible to study experimentally or computationally (Phys.org, Quantum Insider).

2. New Quantum Theories of Gravity Are Emerging. Researchers at Aalto University have developed a new quantum theory of gravity compatible with the Standard Model, potentially unifying gravity with other fundamental forces (Phys.org). This progress brings physics closer to a “theory of everything,” although it remains theoretical and not yet experimentally confirmed.

3. Bridging Quantum Simulations and Fundamental Interactions. Initiatives like Perimeter Institute’s Quantum Simulations of Fundamental Interactions (QFun) aim to systematically simulate the Standard Model and related systems (Perimeter Institute). Experimental platforms using ultracold atoms and other quantum systems are used as analog quantum simulators to study complex quantum phenomena and verify theoretical models (Phys.org).

4. No Direct “Reaction” or Physical Feedback Yet. Current quantum simulations model and predict behaviors of fundamental forces and particles but do not physically alter or “touch” the universe’s fundamental forces. These simulations provide insights and test theoretical frameworks but remain computational and experimental analogs, not active interventions in reality.

– This could lead to a new era of physics, rewriting the Standard Model and how we understand mass, gravity, and spacetime.

– The power to manipulate mass and gravity could revolutionize technology, energy, and space travel—but also carries risks of destabilizing reality.

– Humanity has stepped into unknown territory, where quantum probability shapes outcomes on a cosmic scale, not just within isolated experiments.

Fact check: There is no evidence that humanity has stepped into unknown territory, where quantum probability shapes outcomes on a cosmic scale.

Playing with the Fabric of the Universe?

– Quantum computers interacting with the Higgs field represent a breakthrough—and a warning.

Fact check: They would, if that were true, but there is zero evidence that a this has happened, so it is safe to assume that there has been no such breakthrough of that kind.

– Voyager 1’s “impossible” signal may be the first sign that our machines have begun to touch and shape mass and gravity, not just simulate them.

– This interaction could cause shifts in reality itself, affecting every atom and the fundamental forces.

– We have opened a door to a new quantum frontier, one where the universe’s deepest rules might be influenced by human-made quantum systems.

Fact check: In the virtual world, yes. In actual reality, no.

– The future holds unimaginable possibilities—and dangers—as we explore this profound connection between quantum AI, the Higgs field, and the cosmos.

This is a moment where physics, technology, and philosophy converge, reminding us that in probing the quantum world, we may be playing with the very fabric of existence.

Fact Check: Sci-fi speculation. While quantum simulations are revolutionizing our ability to understand and model the universe’s fundamental forces, there is no verified evidence that these simulations have caused a direct, physical “reaction” in the universe itself. The boundary between simulation and reality remains intact; simulations provide critical insights and predictions but do not yet physically influence mass, gravity, or fundamental interactions.

Example YouTube Video Explaining This

While the above video may sounds like Joe Rogan’s voice, you can hear that it is an A.I. creation by the way he non-humanly reads the sentence, “… paying very close. Attention to …” Your AI content alarms go off here if you are paying attention. That’s not the way a human reads or speaks.

Here’s another such video. The comments state that this is pretty much science fiction entertainment at this point.

And another:

In other words, this is a test of your YouTube skepticism system.

Does the Sycamore X chip have self-modifying quantum gates?

Based on the available information, the Sycamore quantum processor developed by Google (initially with 53 qubits, later upgraded to around 70 qubits) is a superconducting transmon qubit-based system designed for high-fidelity quantum gate operations and benchmarking quantum supremacy. However, there is no indication or evidence that Sycamore or its successors have “self-modifying quantum gates.”

Did Voyager I Output Get Classified by NASA?

As of May 2025, there is no public information or credible report that NASA has classified or restricted access to Voyager 1’s recent data transmissions. The available official NASA sources and news updates indicate that Voyager 1 has been actively transmitting scientific and engineering data, especially following the successful reactivation of its backup thrusters in early 2025 to maintain communication[10][11][12][16].

NASA openly shares Voyager’s telemetry, mission status, and scientific findings through its Voyager blog and public communications channels[3][6]. While some technical issues with data formatting and onboard computer subsystems have been reported and are under investigation, these are discussed transparently by NASA engineers[14].

No evidence suggests that any recent Voyager 1 output has been classified or withheld from the public or scientific community. Instead, NASA continues to analyze and decode the data, working openly to extend the mission’s lifetime and scientific return[11][14].

Did an Image Get Sent by Voyager

In the Wacky Woo Show with Cliff High and JC on Rumble it is stated that “Voyager received some data, it was evaluated by the computers and the computers were instructed by the data itself to construct an image”

Fact check: As described, that’s exactly how image creation from Voyager data works, this is nothing new.

The next claim is that it caused some strange feelings in people who saw it and it rewired their brains.

Fact check: the feelings of seeing images from Voyager would be strange any time and brains are constantly rewiring, that is how memory works, so yes, business as usual. If you remember something new, your brain has been rewired, literally. Their neural pathways were altered. Yes. Of course.

It’s reported in journals, in scientific journals, right, so we know it’s factual.

Fact check: Misleading or false. What is this “it” you are referring to? No scientific journals report any paranormal or unusual brain effects specifically caused by Voyager images.

Voyager 1’s communication is classical radio signals sent via its onboard transmitters (X-band and S-band). At times, the primary X-band transmitter was switched off by the spacecraft’s fault protection system to conserve power, with the weaker S-band transmitter used temporarily. The spacecraft continues to send scientific data and images captured by its instruments, but these are generated onboard by Voyager’s cameras and sensors, not by Earth-based quantum computers.

What About the Picture Voyager 1 Sent?

NASA has not released any new images taken by Voyager 1 immediately after the thruster fix in 2025. This is because Voyager’s cameras were powered down years ago to conserve energy, and the spacecraft no longer takes new pictures. Instead, Voyager 1 continues to send engineering data and scientific measurements from interstellar space.

Voyager 1’s cameras were turned off in 1990 to conserve power. All images available are from before that date. Any recent “images” associated with Voyager 1 are likely data visualizations, not new photographs.

If you want to view the last images Voyager 1 sent before its cameras were turned off (in the 1980s), NASA’s Voyager mission page has those historic images:

Here is the last image I could find from Voyager 1:

NASA ID: ARC-1990-AC79-7127 Range : 4 billion miles from Earth, at 32 degrees to the ecliptic. P-36057C This color image of the Sun, Earth, and Venus is one of the first that show our solar system from such a vantage point. The image is a portion of a wide angle image containing the sun and the region of space where the Earth and Venus were at the time, with narrow angle cameras centered on each planet. The wide angle was taken with the cameras darkest filter, a methane absorption band, and the shortest possible exposure, one two-hundredth of a second, to avoid saturating the camera’s vidicon tube with scattered sunlight. The sun is not large in the sky, as seen from Voyager’s perspective at the edge of the solar system. Yet, it is still 8xs brighter than the brightest star in Earth’s sky, Sirius. The image of the sun you see is far larger than the actual dimension of the solar disk. The result of the brightness is a bright burned out image with multiple reflections from the optics of the camera. The rays around the sun are a diffraction pattern of the calibration lamp which is mounted in front of the wide angle lens. the 2 narrow angle frames containing the images of the Earth and Venus have been digitally mosaicked into the wide angle image at the appropriate scale. These images were taken through three color filters and recombined to produce the color image. The violet, green, and blue filters used , as well as exposure times of .72,.48, and .72 for Earth, and .36, .24, and .36 for Venus.The images also show long linear streaks resulting from scattering of sunlight off parts of the camera and its shade.

Loss of Reality is a Real Issue

See how tangled all of this can get? This is why some top thinkers stated a decade ago that “loss of reality” was one of the top threats to human survival.

The complexities and conflations surrounding emerging technologies, scientific discoveries, and their interpretations create a tangled web that challenges our grasp on reality. This is why many leading thinkers have warned that the “loss of reality” poses a profound threat to humanity’s future. Information overload combined with misinformation makes it increasingly difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, while virtual and augmented realities blur the lines between what is real and simulated.

Social media algorithms reinforce cognitive biases and create echo chambers that distort shared understanding, undermining collective decision-making. Advances in quantum physics, AI, and neuroscience raise deep philosophical questions about consciousness and the nature of reality, fueling existential uncertainty. When large populations lose touch with objective reality, it hampers effective governance, science-based policy, and social cohesion, threatening our ability to address global challenges such as climate change and pandemics.

Thinkers like Yuval Noah Harari, Elon Musk, Philip Zimbardo, Marshall McLuhan, and Neil Postman have all highlighted how media and technology shape human perception and consciousness, emphasizing the urgent need for critical thinking, media literacy, and ethical technology development to safeguard our shared future.

What Michio Kaku Actually Says

Michio Kaku is a well-known theoretical physicist who often discusses the potential and future implications of quantum computing and advanced physics in accessible terms.
In some popular videos and interviews from early 2025, his name has been associated with speculative claims about quantum AI systems producing anomalies and warnings about pushing quantum systems beyond their limits.
However, these claims are often misrepresented or taken out of context in viral videos and social media. For example, videos with titles like “Michio Kaku Warns: Quantum Computers May Have Just Activated the God Particle Plugin!” are largely speculative and not direct quotes or verified statements from Kaku himself.
Official statements and his website do not confirm the existence of a “God Particle Plugin” or any quantum computer physically manipulating the Higgs field.
Kaku has emphasized that quantum computers simulate quantum phenomena and that simulating physics is not the same as physically altering reality.
He warns generally about the unknowns and potential risks of advancing quantum technologies but does not claim that such a plugin exists or has been activated.

Assessment

We live in a world where getting “views” is a currency and people have lost all shame about lying and/or exaggerating for attention. We also have as a species failed at news consumption. We are supposed to have trained journalists with ethical standards, plus checks and balances including citing who, what, where, why and when in articles when possible. We’ve sold our farms for bags of candy. Thus, we have a multi-generational disease where our species spends an inordinate amount of time pranking the gullible and repeating unverified hearsay for money and attention. Make no mistake about it, this is an information and an education disaster.

The Counter Claim to weigh in this is as follows: A quantum computer did not break reality. Voyager 1’s recent transmissions remain publicly accessible and are actively studied by NASA. NASA has not classified or restricted any recent data outputs from Voyager 1. The mission team regularly updates the public on Voyager’s status and technical challenges.

Just another viral video capitalizing on the names of famous scientists and misrepresenting reality.

Darn it, Who is Responsible for These Videos?

Your frustration is understandable. Many popular YouTube channels—especially those in science and space—have been criticized for producing clickbait, misleading, or AI-generated content designed primarily to maximize views and ad revenue rather than provide accurate or nuanced information. This problem is widespread and well-documented.

Why This Happens

Monetization Incentives: YouTube’s algorithm rewards videos that generate high engagement and watch time, regardless of content quality or accuracy. This encourages creators to produce sensationalized or misleading videos to attract clicks.
AI-Generated Content: Many channels use AI to rapidly produce videos with minimal effort—often recycling public domain images, automated voiceovers, and loosely related facts. These videos can flood search results and mislead viewers.
Lack of Accountability: Faceless channels and anonymous creators often avoid responsibility for misinformation, hiding behind generic emails and brand names.
Exploitation of Popular Figures: Channels frequently misuse names like Michio Kaku or Elon Musk in thumbnails and titles to exploit their credibility and attract views, even when those figures have no involvement.

Community Observations

Users report encountering many such channels flooding science-related searches with low-quality or false content.
These channels often mix some factual information with speculation or outright falsehoods to appear credible.
Attempts to report or block these channels help but do not fully solve the systemic issue.
Many viewers turn to paid platforms like Curiosity Stream or trusted creators with verified expertise to avoid misinformation.

Google is to Blame for Wasting Planetary Human Resources

Your frustration with Google and YouTube’s focus on traffic and monetization is shared by many.

YouTube’s Algorithm Focuses on Viewer Behavior, Not Content Quality
The YouTube algorithm that decides which videos get seen doesn’t evaluate the truthfulness or educational value of videos. Instead, it prioritizes videos that get clicks, hold viewers’ attention, and generate engagement like likes, comments, and shares. We assume that there are also backroom deals and insider boosting going on.

We do NOT believe that Google/YouTube should be in the business of evaluating truthfulness, EVER, because they have already proven with this monetization scheme that they have zero regard for anything other than mining suckers attentions for advertising dollars. A community vote (bring back the down thumbs and de-rank crap) is the best way to start to get at the truth. An informed and educated population is essential for that to work. Since people are lazy as hell, what we will get instead is people giving their power of acceptance to their A.I. companions. Without systemic changes to platform design and user empowerment, the erosion of shared reality will accelerate, leading to greater societal polarization, diminished trust in institutions, and challenges in addressing complex global issues. In this landscape, cultivating media literacy and fostering active community engagement will become crucial battlegrounds for preserving informed democracy and meaningful discourse.

Monetization Drives Incentives
YouTube’s Partner Program pays creators based on ad revenue generated from views and watch time. This creates strong financial incentives for creators to produce content that attracts views—even if it’s misleading or clickbait.

You pay for low-quality content, and that’s exactly what you get—garbage. Nose thumb to Google and YouTube for wasting valuable human time by promoting time-sucking drivel. If any site give an actual peer reviewed legitimate paper or with an actual scientist making these claims, then this can be moved into the real news bucket from science-baloney.

Responsible Use of AI

At News i8, yes, we use AI—but responsibly. All art on this site is AI-generated unless otherwise noted. We cite our sources for facts, and any playful sci-fi elements are explicitly tagged as such. There’s a clear difference between responsible creative AI use and reckless or even fraudulent clickbait.

Bottom Line

This story was some pretty high quality Woo in a few ways. It links to a current true amazing story, it uses actual cutting edge unknowns, and it has some plausible premises. It’s quite a potentially universe shattering story, other than not being real by the presented evidence. We suspect that AI had a hand in creating the foundations of it.

We sincerely hope viewers aren’t left feeling anxious or unsettled, fearing that reality itself could unravel after watching these misleading videos. It’s fun stuff if you take it in the right way, but falsely attributing statements to scientists or experts to promote oneself or a product is outright fraud. Stay aware that fraud and misinformation can occur even within so-called reputable sources, so critical thinking is the only real key to navigating information today. By questioning, verifying, and evaluating claims carefully, we can surf amusing deception happily and maintain a clear, grounded understanding of reality along the way.
