Gravitational Wave Observatories Could Search for Warp Drive Signatures
A new study shows how gravitational wave observatories could be used to search for technosignatures throughout the galaxy
Astronomers Find a Sun-like Star Orbiting a Nearby Black Hole
Using data from the Gaia Observatory, a team of astronomers has detected a Sun-like star that co-orbits with a dormant black hole.
A New Study Confirms That Gravity has Remained Constant for the Entire age of the Universe
New results from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) have shown that the force of gravity has not changed in the past five billion years.
A Black Hole can Tear a Neutron Star Apart in Less Than 2 Seconds
An international team has simulated what happens when a black hole and neutron star merge, and the results were pretty
We Could Discover new Kinds of Particles Around Black Holes Through Gravitational Waves
A new study has shown how gravitational waves can be used to detect exotic particles orbiting black holes.
The Dream of Faster-than-Light (FTL) Travel: Dr. Harold “Sonny” White and Limitless Space
Dr. Harold “Sonny” White and the Limited Space Institute continue to pursue the dream of the Alcubierre Warp Drive, which would allow humans to go interplanetary AND interstellar!
Gamma ray Telescopes Might be Able to Detect the Gravitational Waves Caused by Merging Supermassive Black Holes
Gamma rays could be the new source for observing gravitational waves, according to a recent release from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. This would make a possible third way to observe gravitational waves including laser interferometry and radio waves. In 1916 Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time moving out …
A new way to Confirm Hawking's Idea That Black Holes Give off Radiation
A quantum experiment simulates how Hawking radiation could affect quantum systems.
Atomic Clocks Separated by Just a few Centimetres Measure Different Rates of Time. Just as Einstein Predicted
The connection between relativity and quantum mechanics has been a black box for the world of physics for decades. That partially stems from the difficulty in collecting data on systems that interface between the two of them. Relativity is the realm of the supermassive, while quantum mechanics can best be described as the realm of …
Could our Universe be Someone’s Chemistry Project?
According to a new op-ed by Harvard Prof. Avi Loeb, our Universe may have been created by an advanced civilization, something we might be able to do someday too.
