More Strange Cosmic Threads Discovered Outside Our Galaxy, And They’re Huge : ScienceAlert
We’re getting closer to resolving the strange mystery presented by hundreds of enormous filaments dangling through the heart of the Milky Way.
For the first time, these long, magnetized filaments glowing in radio waves have been observed emerging from other galaxies. Not only are they no longer unique to the Milky Way, the range of environments in which they can be found is allowing scientists to narrow down the mechanisms that create them.
Astrophysicist Farhad Yusuf-Zadeh of Northwestern University in the US first discovered the Milky Way’s filaments in the 1980s, and has been puzzling over them ever since.
According to Yusuf-Zadeh, there are two possible explanations. The first is an interaction between galactic winds and large clouds; the second is turbulence within weak magnetic fields stirred by the motion of galaxies.
“We know a lot about the filaments in our own Galactic Center, and now filaments in outside galaxies are beginning to show up as a new population of extragalactic filaments,” Yusuf-Zadeh says.
“The underlying physical mechanisms for both populations of filaments are similar despite the vastly different environments. The objects are part of the same family, but the filaments outside the Milky Way are older, distant cousins – and I mean very distant (in time and space) cousins.”
Around 1,000 of the filaments, measuring up to 150 light-years in length and hanging in strangely neat and orderly arrangements like harp strings, have been discovered in the Milky Way to date, most recently thanks to the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa.
The telescope’s sensitive observations of the galactic center – penetrating through the thick dust and gas that obscures much of what’s inside – expanded the number of filaments known previously by a factor of ten. These radio observations also revealed that the filaments contain cosmic ray electrons spinning around in magnetic fields at close to the speed of light, and that magnetic fields are amplified along the entire length of all the filaments.
Without more information, figuring out why they’re there, just quietly hanging out in the galactic center, was going to be tricky. The discovery of more filaments, in four different galaxy clusters ranging between 163 million and 652 million light-years away, is a huge breakthrough.
“After studying filaments in our own Galactic Center for all these years, I was extremely excited to see these tremendously beautiful structures,” Yusuf-Zadeh says. “Because we found these filaments elsewhere in the Universe, it hints that something universal is happening.”
The newly discovered filaments outside of the Milky Way are different from our galaxy’s thread-like structures in several pretty important ways. They’re associated with jets and lobes of radio galaxies – huge structures that erupt from the galactic center, extending vast distances on either side of the galactic plane. The filaments that extend from these jets and lobes are also far larger than the structures seen in the Milky Way’s center – between 100 and 1,000 times larger.
“Some of them have amazing length, up to 200 kiloparsecs,” Yusuf-Zadeh says.
“That is about four or five times bigger than the size of our entire Milky Way. What’s remarkable is that their electrons stay together on such a long scale. If an electron traveled at the speed of light along the filament’s length, it would take it 700,000 years. And they don’t travel at the speed of light.”
They’re also older, and their magnetic fields are weaker. And, of course, they extend out into intergalactic space, often at right-angles to the jets. The Milky Way’s filaments appear to be centered on the galactic disk.
On the other hand, the similarities are strong. The galactic and extragalactic filaments have the same length-to-width ratio, and the cosmic ray transport mechanism is the same. If the same mechanism produces all the filaments, it needs to be something that works on different scales.
Winds could be one such mechanism. Active supermassive black holes and rampant star formation can generate galactic winds that gust out into intergalactic space. These winds could push into the tenuous clouds of gas and dust that drift through interstellar and intergalactic space, pushing the material together to create filamentary structures.
Simulations suggested another possibility: turbulence in the medium, generated by gravitational disturbances. This turbulence can create eddies in the intergalactic medium, around which weak magnetic fields get snagged, folded, and ultimately stretched out into filaments with strong magnetic fields.
It’s not a definitive answer – yet. We don’t even know for sure if the same mechanism is responsible for both kinds of filaments, or if vastly different phenomena create structures that look uncannily alike.
“All of these filaments outside our galaxy are very old,” Yusuf-Zadeh says.
“They are almost from a different era of our Universe and yet signaling the Milky Way inhabitants that a common origin exists for the formation of the filaments. I think this is remarkable.”
The research has been published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Slack’s having issues with notifications and loading threads and channels
If you’ve had issues with Slack on Thursday, you’re not alone — for most of the day, the service’s status page has reported that “something’s not quite right” with messaging, apps, integrations, APIs, and connections. The issues, which seem to affect threads, channels, notifications and group DMs, lasted for pretty much the entire workday, starting around 9:40AM ET this morning and getting marked as resolved around 5:40PM.
Here at The Verge, the problems manifested themselves differently for different people; one of my co-workers described Slack as acting “funky all morning,” noting issues with threads in particular, while another reported that their notifications weren’t showing up correctly and that threads would load at random. For me, the app sometimes hung when I try to load a channel, and it only let me scroll back a certain amount; the app also booted me out of the Threads screen when I was trying to type a reply and then only showed hours-old threads when I went back. Another colleague reported that their Threads screen was broken entirely. By the early evening, things were mostly back to normal.
At around 3PM ET, Slack noted that observed “significant improvement with notifications, accessing channels/DMs, saved items and API hyperlinks,” and by 5:03PM, it said it had identified the issue with threads and was rolling out a fix. The incident page says that you should reload Slack if you’re still experiencing problems, using the Command + Shift + R keyboard shortcut on Mac, or the Ctrl + Shift + R shortcut on Windows and Linux.
While these issues have been annoying, they’re weren’t completely work-breaking like full Slack outages are. That may be why there’s not a ton of chatter about it on Twitter and why there are relatively few reports on Downdetector.com. But no, you’re not imagining that things aren’t quite right; hopefully, Slack will get things sorted soon.
Update October 13th 5:18PM ET: Updated to note that Slack is rolling out a fix for the thread screen issue, and has improved notifications and DMs.
Update October 13th, 6:22PM ET: Updated with instructions on how to reload Slack if you’re still having issues.
Full Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Desktop CPU Lineup Leaks Out, Core i9-13900K Flagship With 24 Cores & 32 Threads
The full Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Desktop CPU lineup has leaked out and will include a total of 14 new processors. The lineup has been leaked by Bilibili’s tech content creator, Extreme Player.
Intel’s Entire 13th Gen Raptor Lake Desktop CPU Lineup Leaks Out, Will Include 14 New SKUs
Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs will utilize the hybrid core design, featuring a mix of Performance-Optimized ‘P’ and Efficiency-Optimized ‘E’ cores. For the new chips, Intel will be using a brand new P-Core known as Raptor Cove which will replace the Golden Cove cores featured on the Alder Lake CPUs. For The E-Core, Intel will retain the existing Gracemont core architecture but it will come with minor improvements. Following are some of the main changes you should expect:
Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Desktop CPUs Expected Features:
- Up To 24 Cores & 32 Threads
- Brand New Raptor Cove CPU Cores (Higher P-Core IPC)
- Based on 10nm ESF ‘Intel 7’ process node
- Up To 6.0 GHz clock speeds (expected)

- Q4 2022 Launch (October Possibly)
So starting with the lineup, there are a total of 14 SKUs which include four Core i9 models, four Core i7 models, five Core i5 models, and a single Core i3 model. There are three revisions of the CPUs which start with H-0 for the only Core i3 model, C-0 for the Core i5-13400, Core i5-13500 & Core i5-13600 while the rest are based on the B-0 revision.
The H0 and C0 revisions might have similar silicon and die structures as existing Alder Lake parts minus the upgraded cache from the Raptor Lake designs while the B0 silicon might have the added cache.
Intel Core i9-13900K 24 Core Raptor Lake CPU Specs
The Intel Core i9-13900K is the flagship Raptor Lake CPU, featuring 24 cores and 32 threads in an 8 P-Core and 16 E-Core configuration. The CPU is configured at a base clock of 3.0 GHz, a single-core boost clock of 5.8 GHz (1-2) cores, and an all-core boost clock of 5.5 GHz (all 8 P-Cores). The CPU features 68 MB of combined cache and a 125W PL1 rating that goes up to 250W. The CPU can also consume up to 350W of power when using the “Extreme Performance Mode” which we detailed a few hours ago here.
- Core i9-13900K 8+16 (24/32) – 3.0 / 5.8 GHz – 66 MB Cache, 125W (PL1) / 250W+ (PL2)?
- Core i9-12900K 8+8 (16/24) – 3.2 / 5.2 GHz – 30 MB Cache, 125W (PL1) / 241W (PL2)
Intel Core i7-13700K 16 Core Raptor Lake CPU Specs
The Intel Core i7-13700K CPU will be the fastest 13th Gen Core i7 chip on offer within the Raptor Lake CPU lineup. The chip features a total of 16 cores and 24 threads. This configuration is made possible with 8 P-Cores based on the Raptor Cove architecture and 8 E-Cores based on the Grace Mont core architecture. The CPU comes with 30 MB of L3 cache and 24 MB of L2 cache for a total combined 54 MB cache. The chip was running at a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The all-core boost is rated at 5.3 GHz for the P-Cores while the E-Cores feature a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a boost clock of 4.3 GHz.
- Core i7-13700K 8+8 (16/24) – 3.4 / 5.3 GHz – 54 MB Cache, 125W (PL1) / 244W (PL2)?
- Core i7-12700K 8+4 (12/20) – 3.6 / 5.0 GHz, 25 MB Cache, 125W (PL1) / 190W (PL2)
Intel Core i5-13600K 14 Core Raptor Lake CPU Specs
The Intel Core i5-13600K features a total of 14 cores which include 6 P-Cores based on the Raptor Cove and 8 E-Cores based on current Gracemont cores. That’s the same P-Core count as the Intel Core i5-12600K but the E-Core count has been doubled. So we are looking at a 40% core count bump and a 25% thread count bump vs the Alder Lake Core i5-12600K. The CPU comes with 24 MB of L3 and 20 MB of L2 cache for a combined total of 44 MB cache. Clock speeds are set at 3.5 GHz base, 5.2 GHz boost, and 5.1 GHz all-core boost while the E-Cores operate at 3.5 GHz base & 3.9 GHz boost clocks.
- Core i5-13600K 6+8 (14/20) – 3.5 / 5.1 GHz – 44 MB Cache, 125W (PL1) /180W (PL2)?
- Core i5-12600K 6+4 (10/16) – 3.6 / 4.9 GHz – 20 MB Cache, 125W (PL1) / 150W (PL2)
Moving over to the rest of the SKUs, we obviously have the lower TDP optimized 65W Non-K SKUs. The Intel Core i5-13400 seems to be a nice upgrade from the Core i5-12400 as it now offers a total of 4 E-Cores besides the 6 P-Cores which should help boost the multi-threaded performance. The Core i5-13500 is another upgraded variant that offers a step up to 6 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores unlike the Core i5-12400 and Core i5-12500 which shared an identical configuration without any P-Cores. The Core i3 lineup only features 1 SKU and that’s the Core i3-13100 which will retain its 4-core and 8-thread layout.
