Study: The Universe Could Be a Black Hole
This conclusion was reached by studying global maps of the masses and radii of objects ranging from subatomic particles to superclusters of galaxies. Scientists at…
Astronomers: Life may exist on the dwarf planet Ceres
According to American scientists from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, extraterrestrial life could potentially exist on the dwarf planet Ceres, whose orbit is…
Small stars, big mysteries: searching for habitable planets in the Kepler sample
Finding Earth-sized planets in Kepler’s habitable zone is difficult for M stars. Updated Gaia data do not support the expected increase in frequency of Earth-sized…
Dark energy helps black holes maintain pairwise equilibrium
Black holes can exist in perfectly balanced pairs, kept in balance by a cosmic force, like a single black hole, according to research from the…

Accelerating waves: a new way of looking at light and time travel.
The light we see every day doesn’t always work as we think. It can slow down, bend, speed up and even change the direction of…
An 8 billion year journey to a radio telescope antenna, or a bit about the oldest fast radio burst
In June 2022, astronomers detected an unusual burst of radio waves that traveled through the universe for about 8 billion years, roughly half the age…
The theory of star formation in stellar nurseries has been scientifically revised
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics have demonstrated that stars can be born by receiving matter from outside their parent molecular cloud.…
Scientists have just announced the discovery of a “missing law of nature” that explains the evolution of everything in the Universe.
The universe contains “many evolving systems, and we seem to have no laws of nature that fully describe the reasons for their existence.” A new…
