A bright flash of light was observed by the ROTSE 111b telescope on January 21, 2009. After many years, scientists speculate that this light was from a star being swallowed by a black hole. This event is being covered in The Astrophysical Journal, detailing the last light of a dying…
As soon as I read about Christopher Nolan’s science fiction film titled "Interstellar", I realized that it was going to become one of my favorite movies. And I was right because it’s something more than just a great science fiction movie with fascinating visual effects – it’s also a thought-provoking…
Research funding is running out. Yes, you heard it right, government aid is becoming increasingly hard to come by due to economic instability. We are so close to many outstanding breakthroughs in science, but unfortunately, we are strapped! So, what does one man do in order to conduct research on…
The term “black hole” refers to regions in space formed when a star dies and collapses under the pressure of its own gravity to a single point in space called a singularity. The gravitational forces on a specific singularity are so intense that even the light cannot escape them, and…
In 1974, prominent physicist Stephen Hawking shocked his colleagues by claiming that black holes emit radiation. Forty years later, a laboratory experiment seems to have confirmed his theory. The study is published in the journal «Nature Physics». Black holes – points in space where the density of matter approaches infinity…
New research of two scientists from Shanghai University suggests that it is possible that there is a wormhole in the middle of the Milky Way. Sagittarius A* It is estimated our galaxy has a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* at its center, which is an object with a mass…

Hitherto unseen, these formations seem to transfer water over long distances and might affect the global climate. The existence of these giant vortices, which can reach a diameter of 150 km, was known from previous observations. Their role in ocean circulation was difficult to study, as the limits of these…
The possibility of time travel has occupied both great scientific minds and sci-fi lovers for quite a long time now. Despite the fact that it is considered impossible by most physicists, there are still time travel concepts that could really work. Here are the 5 most interesting time travel concepts:…
