There is a massive black hole with millions of times more mass than our sun is plunging towards Earth and will one day annihilate life as we know it. This particular black hole is coming towards us at 110 kilometres per second and is at the center of the Great Andromeda Galaxy – the Milky…

A Harvard scientist has offered a novel idea regarding the origin of the universe: that it was created in a laboratory by a higher “class” of lifeform. Αvi Loeb, bestselliпg aυthor aпd former chair of Harvard’s astroпomy departmeпt, wrote aп op-ed iп Scieпtific Αmericaп this week argυiпg that the cosmos may have beeп created iп a laboratory…

A new paper claims that intelligent aliens would only be interested in contacting the most technologically advanced planets, and Earth doesn’t make the cut. Is the Milky Way home to intelligent aliens? (Image credit: NASA/Adler/U. Chicago/Wesleyan/JPL-Caltech) Why haven’t aliens gotten in touch? Maybe they think Earth is boring. A new preprint paper published to the arXiv(opens in…

A huge ball of glowing gas has been found billions of light-years away. It is brighter than hundreds of billions of Suns. We can’t think of anything like that. Astronomers have a hard time describing this object because it shines so brightly. Scientists aren’t sure what this thing really is, which is the most interesting…

The physics genius put out the general theory of relativity more than a hundred years ago to improve Isaac Newton’s law of universal gravitation. This model is still used by scientists to explain gravity in modern physics. It gives a unified description of gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime. Einstein’s…
