Supermassive black holes are already recognized as some of the most bizarre objects in the universe. Past their high-energy coronas, inside the event horizons, the known laws of physics seem to shut down. But recently, astronomers observed something happening to a black hole that seemed impossible even by the object’s own outlandish standards. About 100 million light-years away, the super hot, ultrabright... 

An international team of researchers, including six scientists from the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra (FCTUC), was able to measure for the first time the longest average lifetime of a radioactive isotope recorded by a device of measurement. This extraordinary fact is published (April 25), as the main piece on the cover, in Nature, the most prestigious of all scientific... 

Physicist Stephen Hawking has reportedly left behind a final research paper that predicts how the universe will end. He also provides what he sees as the key to finding parallel universes. The world-famous physicist died at his home in Cambridge earlier this week at the age of 76. He left behind a final scientific paper, which was reportedly completed on his deathbed, detailing how the universe could... 

CERN researchers are baffled at how matter thrived in the early universe when it should have been destroyed by antimatter, a discovery which evokes a theory that the universe is controlled by a mysterious realm lying outside space and time. The researchers made a technological breakthrough when they compared the magnetism of an antiproton to that of a proton using a new technique which is 350 times... 

An international team of researchers has managed to detect the missing 50 percent of visible matter in the universe. It is “a very exciting discovery”, Richard Ellis, Professor of Astrophysics at University College London, told Sputnik. “Understanding the constituency of the universe is of course a fundamental question in astronomy,” Ellis pointed out. He recalled that researchers... 

With the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics having been awarded to three US scientists for the detection of gravitational waves, one of them, Barry Barish, a professor emeritus at California’s Institute of Technology (Caltech), said that the discovery was bound to change mankind’s traditional view of the universe. Researchers Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish who will share the 9 million... 

Indian scientists have now claimed to have discovered an extremely large supercluster of galaxies. The supercluster of galaxies is as big as 20 million billion suns and named Saraswati by scientists from the Pune-based Inter University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA). Discovered by four scientists — Shishir Sankhyayan, a PhD student at the Pune-based Indian Institute of Science Education... 

In this image, captured by the Gemini Observatory, shows at least three recent supernovas exploding on camera for the first time on May 21, 2008. It is suspected that these interactions sparked the formation of massive stars and the resulting fury of supernovae activity in this galaxy. The universe may not be expanding since the Big Bang as fast as it was previously thought, astronomers say. The discovery... 

Scientists at Cern could prove the controversial theory of ‘rainbow gravity’ which suggests that the universe stretches back into time infinitely, with no Big Bang. The detection of miniature black holes by the Large Hadron Collider could prove the existence of parallel universes and show that the Big Bang did not happen, scientists believe. The particle accelerator, which will be restarted this... 

Christianity and many other religions sets forth the tenet that God gave all humans a soul, the “breath of life,” which is the essence of consciousness (the ability to be aware of the past, present and future) and the essence of their awareness of being. Christians believe that we were created in God’s image and are a part of God, the Creator of our Universe and probably many more... 

The $1.1 trillion spending bill approved by the Senate Saturday night is over six times larger than the estimated number of galaxies in the observable universe. $1.1 trillion is a little over a thousand billions and astronomers estimate there’s only around 170 billion galaxies in known existence, stretching nearly 14 billion light-years away in every direction. Additionally, one study estimates... 

The Rosetta mission’s historic landing of a robotic spacecraft on a comet has brought to a head one of humankind’s timeless questions: are we alone in the universe? For the project’s leading land scientist, that answer may soon be on the horizon. After a tense seven-hour wait, the lander module Philae touched down on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko at 16:03 GMT on Wednesday.... 

A scientist from University of North Carolina states she has mathematical proof that black holes (illustrated) can’t exist. She said it is impossible for stars to collapse and form a singularity. Previously, scientists thought stars larger than the sun collapsed under their own gravity and formed black holes as they died. When a huge star many times the mass of the sun comes to the end of its... 

Bill Nye, in his debate with Ken Ham, alleged that science does not support belief in creation. Nye is wrong. What really is science? There are two types of science. Empirical science is the knowledge of an event or a thing witnessed through our senses. You know that the moon exists. You can see it! You know that the chair exists because you can see it or feel its support. The other type of science... 

German physicist Christof Wetterich proposed an interesting model of the universe, which, in contrast to the standard view, is not expanding. According to his concept, modern space is quite stationary, or even already started to slowly shrink. The scientist managed to bypass numerous slippery questions of the Big Bang Theory. The idea that the universe is expanding is quite young, and emerged less...
