Something Stranger Might Explain The Universe : ScienceAlert

[ad_1] There might not be a mysterious ‘dark’ force accelerating the expansion of the Universe after all. The truth could be much stranger – bubbles of space where time passes at drastically different rates. The passage of time isn’t as constant as our experience with it suggests. Areas of higher gravity experience a slower pace

We Could Be Just 10 Seconds Away From Discovering Dark Matter : ScienceAlert

[ad_1] The mystery of dark matter could be solved in as little as 10 seconds. When the next nearby supernova goes off, any gamma-ray telescope pointing in the right direction might be treated to more than a light show – it could quickly confirm the existence of one of the most promising dark matter candidates.

Researchers Have Quantified The Speed Of Human Thought

[ad_1] Of the more than 85 billion neurons in the brain, roughly one-third are present in the cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, and are in charge of complex thought. Each neuron can transmit over ten bits of information per second and is highly skilled at processing information. Why don’t they do it, then?

Black Hole Paradox That Stumped Stephen Hawking May Have A Solution, New Paper Claims

[ad_1] Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole’s event horizon — yet new research suggests it may secretly leak information. That leakage would appear in subtle signatures in gravitational waves, and now we know how to look for them, the study authors say. In 1976, Stephen Hawking rocked the astrophysics world with his discovery
