In local 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.379 news, a critically endangered North Atlantic 00:03:11.379 --> 00:03:14.060 right whale was spotted entangled in fishing 00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:16.719 gear while feeding in Cape Cod Bay this week. 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:20.060 Researchers from the Center for Coastal Studies 00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:22.960 reported tracking this young male, who has been 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.780 entangled since at least December of last year. 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.319 Initially, the five -year -old whale had multiple 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.039 ropes and buoys caught around its upper jaw. 00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:35.599 The Marine Animal Entanglement Response Team 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.659 spotted him on April 10th, managing to remove 00:03:38.659 --> 00:03:43.199 some gear, but not all. With only around 370 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.419 North Atlantic right whales remaining, researchers 00:03:46.419 --> 00:03:49.759 are concerned this entanglement could be deadly. 00:03:54.699 --> 00:04:00.000 Now on to sports. In an intense NBA play -in 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.069 tournament matchup, The Warriors narrowly defeated 00:04:03.069 --> 00:04:05.669 the Grizzlies, with Jimmy Butler leading the 00:04:05.669 --> 00:04:10.210 charge, scoring 38 points in a thrilling 121 00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:14.449 -116 victory. The Grizzlies showed resilience, 00:04:14.750 --> 00:04:18.670 fighting hard until the final whistle. With this 00:04:18.670 --> 00:04:21.670 win, the Warriors will now face the Houston Rockets 00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:25.029 in the first round of the playoffs. Earlier in 00:04:25.029 --> 00:04:28.050 the day, the Magic dominated the Hawks, advancing 00:04:28.050 --> 00:04:32.379 smoothly to meet the Celtics. in local sports. 00:04:33.259 --> 00:04:36.540 Last night in Tampa, the Sox triumphed over the 00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:41.839 Rays 7 -4. Alex Bregman dazzled, going 5 -for 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.139 -5 with two homers and four RBIs, while Jaron 00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:51.019 Duran added a two -run shot. Walker Bueller snagged 00:04:51.019 --> 00:04:55.360 the win. Diaz chipped in for the Rays, but Chapman's 00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:01.259 save secured it. The Sox are now 9 -10. Tonight, 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.420 the Sox take on the Rays in Tampa for the final 00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:08.959 game of this three -game series.

The Bruins finished 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.000 the season at 33 -39 -10, missing the playoffs 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.920 and finishing last place in the Atlantic Division. 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.600 And now the NBA playoffs are decided. And the 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.199 Celtics will take on the Magic on Saturday afternoon 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.000 at 3 .30 for Game 1 of the East First Round. 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:08.819 In top news, in spring 2023, Bernard Marantelli, 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.019 a former London banker, aimed to take down the 00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:15.100 Texas lottery by buying nearly every possible 00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:18.860 number combination for an upcoming drawing. With 00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:22.720 25 .8 million potential combinations and a jackpot 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.699 of $95 million, they sought to maximize profits. 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.639 Marantelli and his team set up operations in 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.540 Texas, using official ticket printing terminals 00:06:33.540 --> 00:06:37.899 to produce tickets rapidly. Their plan culminated 00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:42.540 in a jackpot win of $57 .8 million, sparking 00:06:42.540 --> 00:06:45.360 outrage among state officials. who claimed the 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.279 operation constituted the biggest theft from 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.720 the people of Texas in the history of Texas. 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.920 In business news, cloud -based design platform 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.060 Figma has confidentially filed for an initial 00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:02.819 public offering in the United States following 00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:05.939 the collapse of a $20 billion acquisition deal 00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:09.759 with Adobe. Antitrust regulators in Europe and 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.839 Britain blocked this deal in December 2023. marking 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.120 it as one of the largest failed acquisitions 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.620 of a software startup. Last year, Figma was valued 00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:25.759 at $12 .5 billion. Despite recent market volatility, 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.360 which has caused many tech startups to delay 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.240 their IPO plans, Figma remains cash flow positive 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.779 and boasts clients like Adobe, Uber, Spotify, 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:41.279 and Google.

And Goatseys Maximus is down 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:57.959 8 % to $0 .04. Moving on to a more local vibe. 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.579 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.600 we are working with a national Pilates studio 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.920 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:11.860 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations 00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:15.259 in the Boston area.

And now, back to the show. 00:08:43.210 --> 00:08:46.909 Let's talk science. A new study suggests that 00:08:46.909 --> 00:08:49.710 at the quantum level, time might be flowing in 00:08:49.710 --> 00:08:53.289 reverse without our awareness. Researchers in 00:08:53.289 --> 00:08:56.230 England have discovered two arrows of time in 00:08:56.230 --> 00:08:59.269 open quantum systems moving in opposite directions. 00:09:00.149 --> 00:09:02.870 This finding challenges our understanding of 00:09:02.870 --> 00:09:06.809 time's asymmetrical nature. The study indicates 00:09:06.809 --> 00:09:09.389 that as energy dissipates into the environment, 00:09:09.850 --> 00:09:12.970 time's flow is indicated by entropy, which always 00:09:12.970 --> 00:09:17.210 increases. Senior author Andrea Rocco emphasizes 00:09:17.210 --> 00:09:20.590 that while this theory does not imply time travel, 00:09:20.870 --> 00:09:23.789 it offers a fresh perspective on time's function 00:09:23.789 --> 00:09:26.789 in thermodynamics and the universe's creation, 00:09:27.190 --> 00:09:29.990 raising intriguing questions about our reality. 00:09:32.590 --> 00:09:37.039 And in entertainment news. Hollywood is facing 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.080 a challenge as original movies struggle to attract 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:44.019 audiences. Director Christopher Landon recently 00:09:44.019 --> 00:09:47.019 warned that it's really hard out there for an 00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:50.179 original movie, as his thriller dropped open 00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:56.740 to an estimated $7 .5 million. Similarly, Disney's 00:09:56.740 --> 00:10:01.360 The Amateur debuted at $15 million. Despite a 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.330 push for original ideas, nearly every recent 00:10:04.330 --> 00:10:06.990 release based on fresh scripts has disappointed 00:10:06.990 --> 00:10:10.669 at the box office. The industry is still recovering 00:10:10.669 --> 00:10:13.669 from the pandemic, with many consumers preferring 00:10:13.669 --> 00:10:16.490 to wait for films to stream online rather than 00:10:16.490 --> 00:10:21.289 attend theatres. Well, alrighty folks, it's time 00:10:21.289 --> 00:10:25.230 for the quote of the day. And today, our quote 00:10:25.230 --> 00:10:27.649 comes from the Scottish author and reformer, 00:10:27.690 --> 00:10:33.259 Samuel Smiles. And he said, Hope is like the 00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:36.139 sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the 00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:40.399 shadow of our burden behind us. And that's a 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.379 wrap for this morning. You can check out our 00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:47.480 Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.600 aerial videos with local news and the weather 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.259 reports. Have an amazing day, my good friends. 00:10:54.379 --> 00:10:57.179 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of 00:10:57.179 --> 00:10:58.600 Sunny Mornings in Boston.
