The fight has spawned lawsuits in Norway and the United States and caught the attent
Using new data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have measured the abundance of oxygen in the early universe. The findings, accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series and posted to the arXiv preprint server, show that the amount of oxygen in galaxies increased rapidly within 500–700 million years after the birth of the universe, and has remained as abundant as observed in modern galaxies since then. This early appearance of oxygen indicates that the elements necessary for life were present earlier than expected.

When it comes to duality it’s the particles that exhibit wave-like properties individually.
And waves exhibit particle behavior because waves are particles and particles are waves. Light comes in waves. But when we see light it doesn't mean we are seeing a single light photon.

They seem to think the gravity waves are a property of gravitons.
The article talks about gravitational waves, not gravity waves. It is believed that gravitational radiation is similar to electromagnetic radiation. This would mean that gravitational waves are made up of particles called gravitons. But as the article says, we don't know that for sure because we haven't been able to detect gravitons yet.

Gravity waves are completely different from gravitational waves.

Gravitational waves are not 'mechanical waves'. It is thought that gravitational radiation is a lot like electromagnetic radiation. Therefore gravitational waves might work like light waves, and have a particle like light does.

Astronomers using the Gemini North telescope, one-half of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF's NOIRLab, have captured the eroding remains of more than 100 dwarf galaxies as they transition into ultra-compact dwarf galaxies, objects with masses much greater than star clusters yet much smaller than dwarf galaxies. These findings confirm that many ultra-compact dwarf galaxies are likely the fossil remains of normal dwarf galaxies that have been stripped of their outer layers.

No Democrat would have done better than Biden. And certainly no Republican. You can do better than allying yourself with the Nazis who routinely use the word "terrorist" as a synonym for "Muslim".

Allying yourself with the Nazis is not going to "help Palestianans". Nazis have already dehumanized Arabs/Muslims to the maximum extent possible. Bush (R) is the president who gave Gaza to Hamas, not Biden. Without Biden there would be no aid trucks going into Gaza. Without Biden there would be no humanitarian pauses. If it is true that "arabs see US as complicit in Israel's Gaza war", then it is up to yourself to help them see the actual truth and not the lies.
