After conducting observations for twenty years, an astrophysicist informed Fox News that a supermassive black hole located at the core of a nearby galaxy has been discovered to be spinning, providing further support for Albert Einstein’s theories of general relativity. According to NASA, a black hole is an area in space where gravity is incredibly …
If we consider the atomic bomb as the most dangerous invention to emerge from World War II, recent advancements in artificial intelligence have positioned the computer as a close second. These two inventions, although not the work of any single scientist, have a surprising intersection in the life of John von Neumann, a Hungarian-born polymath …
After spending two years with Elon Musk and his inner circle of family members, romantic partners, and trusted lieutenants, biographer Walter Isaacson has a clear opinion on the world’s richest man. In his new book titled “Elon Musk,” Isaacson states that Musk is a jerk and not very admirable. Despite this, Isaacson explores the impact …
Sept. 6 (UPI) — The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) achieved a successful rocket launch on Wednesday, carrying a state-of-the-art X-ray telescope and a moon lander. This launch comes after the mission’s original August 27th launch was canceled due to high winds. The H-2A rocket took off as scheduled at 7:42 p.m. EST from the …

J. Robert Oppenheimer, known as the father of the atomic bomb, grappled for years with the conflict between his scientific pursuits and his moral compass. Through publicly expressing his concerns about the hydrogen bomb and the nuclear arms race, Oppenheimer ultimately became a martyr in the realm of Cold War politics. Fortunately, there were other …
1/3 Researchers have discovered ultra-low frequency gravitational “shock waves” originating from black holes, which provide direct evidence of the distortion of space-time caused by black holes. This image shows the first-ever captured black hole, taken from Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87 on April 10, 2019. Image by Event Horizon …
