Hubble Spies Supermassive Black Hole ‘That Shouldn’t Exist’, According to NASA
The Hubble space telescope has discovered a supermassive black hole 130 million light-years from Earth that scientists say “shouldn’t exist” if Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity are to be believed. The mysterious black hole has an “unexpected” thin disk of material furiously whirling around it. The conundrum, the space agency explains, is that according to current astronomical theories, the disk … Continue reading
Three Giant Asteroids Flew by Earth in One Day
The Earth has been spared from an apocalyptic scenario after three massive asteroids zipped by our planet on Wednesday – with one of the giant space rocks passing closer than the Moon. With a diameter of up to 120 meters, asteroid 2019 OD soared past our planet moving at roughly 43,000 miles per hour at a distance of 222,160 miles … Continue reading
Scientists Find a Way to Make Crops Grow on Mars
Growing crops on the Red Planet would undoubtedly go a long way towards building a sustainable human colony. Given its cold, harsh environment, Mars might seem like one of the last places where crops would be likely to grow, but what if there was a way to transform its soil in to something that can support life ? According to … Continue reading
Are We lnside a Massive Higher Dimensional Black Hole?
THE Big Bang and black holes share an incredible trait: the singularity. Experimental scientists are consequently now speculating the entire universe in fact exists beyond the event horizon of a huge higher dimensional black hole that has existed since the beginning of time. The latest research estimates the observable universe is home to 200 billion galaxies distributed at a wide … Continue reading
Everything You Need to Know About Deadly Necrotizing Fasciitis
Is Flesh-Eating Bacteria on the Rise? Carolyn Fleming of Ellenton, Florida, may have been the latest person to die of a flesh-eating bacteria infection, which she contracted swimming off the coast of Anna Maria Island in Florida, her family says. Cases of the deadly infection, called necrotizing fasciitis, may be on the rise because of climate change. In fact, a … Continue reading
A New Protein Powder Created from Air, Water, and Bacteria Could Feed Millions
If a post-scarcity society is ever realized, it will likely not involve the redistribution of wealth and a populace of leisured gluttons feasting on filet mignon and songbirds drowned in armagnac. As the global population increases amidst a background of climate change and the effects it has on agriculture and clean water, the types of food that we consume will … Continue reading
First Ever Image of Quantum Entanglement Revealed
For the first time ever, physicists have managed to take a photo of a strong form of quantum entanglement called Bell entanglement—capturing visual evidence of an elusive phenomenon which a baffled Albert Einstein once called ‘spooky action at a distance’. Two particles which interact with each other—like two photons passing through a beam splitter, for example—can sometimes remain connected, instantaneously … Continue reading
Scientist Conduct Experiment in Search of Evidence of a ‘Mirror Universe’
Scientists are attempting to prove the existence of parallel universes by firing neutrons at a solid wall. The idea that we live in one of a practically limitless number of near-identical worlds is nothing new, having been proposed previously many times by physicists including Hugh Everett, who in 1957 put forward his ‘many-worlds interpretation’ of quantum mechanics. Everett’s theory suggested … Continue reading
In a World First, Japan’s Hayabusa2 Probe Collects Samples from a Distant Asteroid
The Hayabusa2 probe made a “perfect” touchdown Thursday on a distant asteroid and collected samples from beneath the surface in an unprecedented mission that could shed light on the origins of the solar system. “We’ve collected a part of the solar system’s history,” Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) project manager Yuichi Tsuda said at a jubilant news conference in Sagamihara, … Continue reading
Mining the Golden Asteroid that Could Make Everyone on Earth a Billionaire
Whether it was the Big Bang, Midas or God himself, we don’t really need to unlock the mystery of the origins of gold when we’ve already identified an asteroid worth $700 quintillion in precious heavy metals. If anything launches this metals mining space race, it will be this asteroid–Psyche 16, taking up residence between Mars and Jupiter and carrying around … Continue reading
