Evidence Found that the Mysterious Dark Energy Driving the Expansion of the Universe is Created Inside Black Holes

In the earliest moments of the universe, nearly 14 billion years ago, a phenomenon both fascinating and mysterious occurred. At the very moment of the Big Bang, an unknown force triggered a rapid exponential expansion of the universe in its initial stage. This event, known as cosmic inflation, allowed for the creation of all the […]

A Supermassive Black Hole Destroying Stars Solves the Mystery of Stellar Eruptions

A massive black hole has ripped apart a star, and now it’s using the remnants of that star to impact another nearby star or possibly a smaller black hole that was once safe from harm. This discovery, made through NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, helps astronomers connect two previously separate mysteries by offering […]

DNA-like geometric structure discovered in space-time

An international team of scientists, composed of researchers from the Complutense University of Madrid, Saint Louis University’s Madrid campus, and the University of California, has proposed a new theory suggesting that spacetime could be made up of “entangled virtual bosons”, similar to the double helix of DNA. This finding, which could have significant implications for […]

The Tired Light Theory and James Webb Telescope Observations Challenge the Validity of the Big Bang

A recent study by an engineer from Kansas State University offers new observational support for a century-old theory that directly challenges the validity of the Big Bang theory. Lior Shamir, an associate professor of computer science, used images from three different telescopes and data from over 30,000 galaxies to measure the redshift of galaxies in […]

Two of the Hundreds of Known Black Holes in the Universe Emit a Pulse, and Scientists Now Know Why

An international team of astronomers has detected variability, a pulse, in the behavior of the black hole IGR J17091-3624. This phenomenon, nicknamed a heartbeat, has been observed using data from the NICER and NuSTAR space observatories and could offer new insights into the complex processes occurring near these enigmatic cosmic objects. The study, led by […]

Measurement that the universe expands at 67.4 kilometers per second per megaparsec confirms the validity of the cosmological model

Scientists have been debating how fast our universe is expanding, a rate that is called the “Hubble constant”. For the past 20 years, two main methods of measuring this rate have given different results, leading some to wonder if our understanding of the universe was incomplete. However, new data from the James Webb Space Telescope […]

Antimatter Detected on the International Space Station Reveals Unknown Physics

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02), a particle detector aboard the International Space Station, has identified particles of antimatter (antihelium) that are not easily produced in the known universe. This discovery challenges current theories about the production of antimatter and suggests that we might be observing completely new astrophysical phenomena. Antihelium is the antimatter form of […]

Three Mysterious Bright Objects in the Early Universe Baffle Scientists

A recent discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has challenged conventional thinking about the origins and evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes. Using the NIRSpec instrument aboard JWST as part of the RUBIES survey, an international team led by researchers from Penn State identified three mysterious objects in the early universe, […]
