Does a final theory exist that can end our reductionist probing into ever shorter distances? Or is there no end to reductionism? There should be an end point because as the object of our measurement gets small...

Quantum Immortality - is it real? Quantum mechanics shows that all particles are not particles at all but really waves of probabilities. There are two common interpretations of how these waves become distinct- one...

Holographic Universe? Are we living on a hologram? Or inside a black hole? Our perception is that we live in a three dimensional world. What if our three dimensions, can be equally represented on a two...

SUMMARY

The universe is full of opposing forces balanced in a celestial tug-of-war, until they sometimes aren’t. In stars, the two opposing forces are gravity which tries to collapse the star inward, and...

SUMMARY:

Are black holes the source of dark energy? A new study by Farrah et al, published in February of 2023 claimed to have found a solution to dark energy, showing a connection with supermassive black ho

Karl Schwarzschild crafted the first exact solution to Einstein's equations of general relativity. He found that as gravity increased around an object, there must be a point where even light could not escape. He theorized black holes.

SUMMARY

In 1976, Stephen Hawing proposed that Black Holes, do something impossible according to the laws of quantum mechanics. They destroy information. This is a paradox because information should be conserved in the...

Scientists share first photograph of Milky Way black hole

I propose to imagine what a black hole would look like right in the sky above our heads if we could see it.

A pair of stars orbiting one another has been found near the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT). Credit; ESO Directed by: Angelos Tsaousis and Martin Wallner....

U.S. National Science Foundation NOIRLab astronomers, using data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, have discovered an early universe supermassive black hole "consuming matter at a phenomenal rate —...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed that a black hole does not suck in matter, but spits out a jet the size of gasaxia, and you look at it!

Very Large Telescope observations of the galaxy revealed that there was likely a “sudden awakening of the massive black hole at its core,” according to the European Southern Observatory (ESO). Credit; Space.com | ESO/L. Calçada, M....

The jets dubbed Porphyrion stretch for 23 million light years, equal to 140 Milky Ways lined up side by side. They erupted from a black hole that existed when the universe was half its current age.

The Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Galaxy may be "warping the spacetime surrounding it into a shape that can look like a football," according to the Chandra X-ray Telescope team.

The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration managed to capture the 1st image of the Milky Way's black hole in what was a groundbreaking moment for astronomy. Now, they want to snap an even clearer view of the incredible...

Pupil outcome: I can explain how Femi uses star imagery, caesuras, and structural choices to express ideas of prejudice and perception in 'Thirteen'. Key learning points: - Femi uses “star” imagery throughout the poem to perhaps...
