    Nobel-Prize laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, for whom NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory was named, described black holes as “the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe: the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space and time.”  Strange Cosmic Paradoxes These  strange cosmic paradoxes, which Princeton quantum physicist John Archibald Wheeler coined “black holes,” have no memory, yet are said to contain the earliest memories of the universe, as well as the most recent, while at the same time obliterating all memory by obliterating all ...

There are regions of space in our universe that may dominated by antimatter creating stars, planets, and galaxies—and could even contain life.

    Supermassive black holes have been described by astronomers as the “Gates of Hell” and “one-way doors out of the universe.” Now, the existence of primordial black holes, gravity wells formed just moments after the Big Bang that some scientists have suggested could be an explanation for dark matter, can be tested by scientists using gravitational waves. “Ancient black holes would give us access to physics we would never otherwise be able to do,” wrote Dan Hooper, head of the theoretical astrophysics group at Fermilab, in an email to The Daily Galaxy. If primordial black holes...

A network of tunnels created by HS2 Rebellion protesters in Euston have now been filled in. The joint venture between Mace and Dragados, which has been picked to deliver the new Euston station for HS2, filled in the tunnel network that, in January, had been dug in protest of HS2’s construction. The job took just under two weeks and included removing timber, then backfilling and compacting the soil to reinstate it to ground level. An HS2 spokesperson said it undertook survey work at the site “which allowed us to understand where the tunnels were and the [their] depth, [enabling] us to do t...

April 7, 2021 | 5:39 PM Evidence is mounting that a tiny subatomic particle seems to be disobeying the known laws of physics, scientists announced Wednesday, a finding that would open a vast and tantalizing hole in our understanding of the universe. The result, physicists say, suggests that there are forms of matter and energy vital to the nature and evolution of the cosmos that are not yet known to science. The new work, they said, could eventually lead to breakthroughs more dramatic than the heralded discovery in 2012 of the Higgs boson, a particle that imbues other particles with mass. “...
