This is obviously the result of an experiment gone wrong at CERN.
A Pope-Antipope pair are created in the LHC by a collision of two major cat(holic)ions.They are then accelerated in opposite directions, one ending up at Avingon and one at Rome. They travel so far without being affected by ordinary matter because of their interaction with the Higgs field, resulting in a widespread uncertainty about the correct mass.

And the whole kerfuffle ended up with having three popes simultaneously, each one denouncing the two others.

Doubt has also been cast as to whether the race can indeed be called a ‘world-first’.
A BBC Two programme, Lab Rats, hosted a similar contest in a pub in 2004 – showing real zoomed-in microscoping footage in which sperm cells darted around erratically.
Another was produced as part of the BBC’s The Truth About Food in 2007.
Mr Zhu reportedly acknowledged hearing about them days before the event but did not change his marketing.

Nothing to see here, just the west’s moderate friends directing sectarian killings.

The head of the European executive did not name-check American researchers or Trump, but her targets were clear
Because the goal isn’t, or shouldn’t be in my opinion, to attract American researchers. It should be to counter the incentives that draw researchers from around the world to the US, where they can earn more than elsewhere.
The world has enough talented scientists to go around. We don’t need American scientists in Europe, what we need is to stop the brain drain that means that after benefiting from our free education, European and foreign researchers move to the US for work and advanced degrees.
Science policy should follow an “if you build it, they will come (or stay)” approach here.

At the same time, though, right now America has a lot of valuable research that is getting stopped for the stupidest and pettiest reasons. It would be a good thing for someone to provide a new home for it to continue and part of that is making sure the existing expertise isn’t lost.

“ Police say Mangione was arrested with a gun and a so-called “manifesto,” though the alleged manifesto appears to have been just 262 words long. The note was obtained by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein and describes people who, “abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed [sic] them to get away with it.””
“ The latest legal filing from Mangione’s defense team in the New York state case is quite a revelation. The accused killer’s lawyers say that cops in Pennsylvania conducted a warrantless search of Mangione’s backpack, admitted screwing that up verbally, which was captured by bodycam, then tried to retroactively justify the search as being necessary because they were worried about potential explosives. The police then put that backpack, which cops say had a gun, into a patrol car for 11 minutes, where no bodycam footage is available.”
