Ultra-precise atomic clock doubles previous accuracy, could detect dark matter

Time: It bends and curves, or appears to speed up or slow down, depending on your position or perception. So precisely measuring its passage is one of the most fundamental tasks in physics—and could help us land on Mars or even observe dark matter. Now, physicists from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology … Read more

Inexplicably, a massive black hole from the origin of the universe refutes previous explanations

The cosmic puzzle created by evidence of apparently enormous black holes in the very early universe continues to deepen. Observations by the JWST of one such anomaly, known as J1120+0641, indicate that the once favored explanation for how these objects could emit so much light so soon after the Big Bang is unlikely, forcing astronomers … Read more
