The universe, according to Roger Penrose, the 2020 Nobel Prize laureate in physics, goes through cycles of death and rebirth. According to the scientist, there have been numerous Big Bangs, with more on the way. He also contends that black holes contain proof of the existence of past universes. These assertions are highly contentious and…

Chen, a postdoctoral in National Astronomical Observatory of China, and her team scanned part of the Northern Sky to search for these hyper-advanced aliens. Out of 21 galaxies, two outliers are so far unidentified. While it’s a long shot, those two may be precisely what Chen is looking for. WHAT’S A KARDASHEV TYPE III CIVILIZATION?…

Welcome back to Daily Aviation for a feature on one of the busiest strategic military airlift aircraft designed to operate from virtually anywhere, exceeding 4 million total flight hours in 2021.

Interesting, and good to know that old planes can be reused, improved, maintained. You do not mention whether engines are improved. And also, “maintenance-friendly” if that is the case is enormously cost-effective – but only if the design is done with maintenance in mind. I worked on those old B-52H model aircraft at my first…

The ALMA ground-based radio telescope helped astronomers refine the albedo and diameter of the nucleus of the giant comet C/2014 UN271 Bernardinelli-Bernstein from the Oort cloud. It turned out that it really is a record-breaking large one – the diameter was estimated at 137 kilometers. Comet C/2014 UN 271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) was discovered last summer by Pedro Bernardinelli…

The general theory of relativity was published by the physics genius more than a century ago, to refine Isaac Newton’s law of universal gravitation. Providing a unified description of gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime, this model is still currently used by scientists as an explanation of gravitation in modern…

This week, the space agency and the company Intuitive Machines announced the Shackleton Crater…

It is reasonable to expect the discovery of extraterrestrial life on Earth’s twin. That is, we should find an extrasolar planet whose features are similar to those of Earth. Researchers have already discovered such a world, but does it have the potential to be habitable? Kepler-438 b is brought to your attention! It is literally…

In 2018, oceanologists came as close as possible to unraveling the mystery of one of the most mysterious anomalies. Underwater Millennium Falcon The Swedish company Ocean X, led by Dennis Osberg, specializes in exploring the secrets of the seabed. This is not only a powerful team of enthusiasts, but also a technically equipped enterprise, here…

Legend has it that the Giants met the Cherokees when they arrived in Ohio. These Giants were nicknamed The Moon-Eyed Men by Cherokees, as they could only see at night. Legends claim that the bones of white giants have been found in Choctaw territory and Chickasaw territory. Legend has it that the Choctaw fought alongside…
