If you think global warming is bad, 11 billion years ago the entire universe underwent what might be called universal warming. The consequence of that early heating was that fierce blasts of radiation from voracious black holes stunted the growth of some small galaxies for a stretch of 500 million years. (more…)
Russian physicists seriously believe that the Large Hadron Collider can be used for time travel. However, it will only happen when it starts working at full capacity and stops breaking down.
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—The first close-up picture of a nascent super massive star and its surroundings has shown that the highest mass stars in the universe form just like their smaller counterparts. They are born from swirling disks of gas and dust, rather than from violent stellar collisions.
“How these high mass stars form has been a debate for 20 years,” said Stefan Kraus, a research fellow in the University of Michigan Department of Astronomy who is first author of a paper on the findings published July 15 in Nature.
The quest for knowledge about the Universe or more clearly to know the ‘creation’, led scientists to begin one of the most expensive experiments in history. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be active from tomorrow, 10 September. Scientists will analyze the results of particle collisions to understand the creation of the Universe.
That’s how it starts. Astronomers found planets that though very hot to have life on, but beliefs that we are not alone may come true someday while spotting some pretty cute creatures walking light-years away. 🙂
