Strange physics at the edges of black holes could help solve the persistent ‘Hubble problem’

The rate at which the universe is expanding is accelerating across the cosmos, driven by a mysterious force known as dark energy. However, new research suggests that this may not be the case at the edges of black holes. Rather than suggesting that dark energy does not act at the boundaries of black holes, this … Read more

Calcada. eso.org/public/images/eso2210a/ This week we reported on the birth of black holes, the dubious claims of a vegan dog study, and a technique to observe entanglement without breaking quantum coherence. Neutrino predict-ino When a large star burns up its core, it explodes in … Read more

Persistent helium leak causes additional delays for Boeing’s ill-fated Starliner spacecraft

The Boeing launch already delayed Starliner spacecraft At least four more days will be lost, from next Tuesday to May 25, due to ongoing work to resolve concerns about a small helium leak in the capsule’s propulsion system, officials said Friday. Mission Commander Barry “Butch” Wilmore and co-pilot Sunita Williams are now targeting a launch … Read more
