Scientists examine the “burp” of a hungry black hole, gain fascinating new understanding of this space phenomenon

The existence of black holes in space is no secret. And it’s not just because scientists have been able to “see” them through the use of many sophisticated Earth- and space-based instruments. As it turns out, black holes produce lots of evidence that they exist and are indeed active, by way of signals that can […]

Scientists are actually losing ground on their understanding of dark matter, as new research contradicts previous findings

Researchers have been forced to backtrack on what little they thought they understood about the enigmatic substance called “dark matter.” The 180-degree turn came in the wake of a new study that suggested dark matter may not really be interacting with forces outside of gravity, according to a ScienceDaily article. In 2015, an international research […]

Could 5,000 pencil-shaped robots help solve the mysteries of our universe?

At 45 years of age, the decades-old Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope was due for an upgrade. This four-meter reflector telescope will be given just that this year. Though instead of a new eyepiece or objective lens, the Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope was instead outfitted with about 5,000 fiber optic sensor-equipped, pencil-sized robots. By adding these […]

Breakthrough in the hunt for Earth-like planets: NASA optics experts have found a way to circumvent distortions that have hindered the search

Finding Earth-like planets that could one day serve as the home of humanity can be hard enough as it is. Now a small team of astronomers from the National Aeronautics Space Agency (NASA) has shown that, with the use of specialized equipment and new methods, it can be made a little bit easier. According to […]

“Dark Matter” phenomenon pushed by science to explain 96% of the universe may be complete bunk, new scientists declare

How would you respond if someone tried to tell you that basically everything you think you know about the function of the universe is patently false? This is the shocking proposition recently put forth by a scientist from Switzerland, whose latest work on the subject suggests that the age-old theory of “dark matter” governing the […]

University declares gravity to be “intolerant” … removes all weighing scales from the gym to avoid “triggering” snowflake students

Machines that measure gravity’s pull on the human body have been declared “intolerant” by Carleton University, which decided to pull all body weight scales from its gym in order to avoid “triggering” snowflake students. As reported by CBC news (Canada): The paper quotes one student as saying, “Scales are very triggering” for people with eating […]
