Image
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is set to be held in Pakistan, marking the return of the prestigious tournament after an eight-year hiatus. Although Pakistan has been granted the hosting rights, the schedule and venue specifics remain undisclosed. A key point of contention is the Indian cricket team's refusal to travel to Pakistan, which has led the International Cricket Council (ICC) to consider a hybrid hosting model. Hybrid Model Under Discussion On November 29, the ICC convened a meeting to address the tournament's organization, where Pakistani representatives initially opposed the hybrid model. However, recent reports suggest the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has softened its stance, though it has attached certain conditions. One of the primary demands is that the final match be held in Lahore in case India does not reach the final. If India does not qualify, the PCB insists that Lahore host the championship game.

Image

Maharashtra CM Tussle: BJP Stands Firm, Will Fadnavis Return as CM?

Image
The political deadlock over the Chief Minister’s post in Maharashtra is likely to be resolved today, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) firmly backing Devendra Fadnavis. BJP national spokesperson Prem Shukla reiterated that the "Bihar model" of power-sharing—where the Chief Minister’s post was ceded to the Janata Dal (United) despite BJP having more seats—will not be replicated in Maharashtra. This declaration signals BJP’s intent to retain the top post within its own ranks. Why the Bihar Model Won’t Apply in Maharashtra Prem Shukla clarified the key reasons why the Bihar precedent is irrelevant in Maharashtra. In Bihar, BJP had pre-committed to making Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister even before the elections. No such pre-election agreement exists in Maharashtra with the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde. Moreover, BJP’s alliance with JDU in Bihar aimed to expand BJP’s influence, a strategy that failed to yield desired results. Therefore, BJP sees no reason to repeat ...

Can Aliens Control Stars? New Research Explores Possibilities of Extraterrestrial Civilizations

Image
In science fiction and space exploration, planets, stars, and even flying saucers often captivate our imaginations. However, a recent study has introduced a startling idea: some stars in space might be manipulated by extraterrestrial civilizations.  Dr. Clement Vidal, a scientist based at a university in Brussels, has proposed that certain "hypervelocity stars" could potentially be directed by aliens to travel vast interstellar distances. This concept suggests that advanced extraterrestrial beings could utilize massive stars to navigate space. Could Aliens Really Manipulate Stars? Dr. Vidal theorizes that aliens could transform certain stars into "stellar engines". These engines are powerful tools capable of travelling at tremendous speeds, potentially thousands of miles per second. This process would involve controlling the star's energy output and radiation. By mastering such a process, it could be possible to transport entire star systems through space. Binar...
