time traveling quantum

Time travel, widely recognized as a staple of science fiction stories and movies, is at least theoretically possible under certain conditions. These include situations such as extremely fast space travel, and the traveler’s proximity to particularly strong gravitational sources. However, new research suggests that scientists may be getting closer to making the manipulation of time … Read more

James Webb’s telescope discovers jewel-bearing ‘Einstein ring’ made of warped quasar light

A blurry image showing a multicolored flash of light

A beautiful, bejeweled halo of warped light generated by a monstrous black hole takes center stage in one of the latest James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images. The luminous loop, which looks strikingly like a “Einstein ring“, is decorated with four points of light, but not all of them are real. The star-studded halo in … Read more

SciTechDaily

Using gravitational lensing, scientists have discovered that dark matter can extend more than a million light-years from galactic centers, proposing significant adjustments to our theories of gravity or the concept of dark matter itself. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Groundbreaking new research shows that the rotation curves of galaxies remain flat far away, confirming the predictions of modified … Read more

Beyond Einstein: groundbreaking map of the universe redefines cosmic models

by
SciTechDaily

The DESI collaboration is conducting a groundbreaking experiment to understand the expansion and acceleration of the universe. Their work with the DESI instrument has allowed them to map the cosmos from its early stages to the present, challenging existing models of the universe. Initial findings suggest there may be more to discover about dark energy … Read more

Again, Einstein! Scientists discover where matter ‘falls’ into black holes

by
A black ball in the center of the screen looks to be falling into a warped spacetime diagram.

Scientists have confirmed for the first time that the fabric of spacetime takes a “final plunge” at the edge of a black hole. The observation of this crashing region around black holes was made by astrophysicists at Oxford University Physics, and helps validate a key prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915 theory of gravity: general relativity. … Read more
