A pear-shaped nucleus just confirmed, and it could ruin time travel forever
Physicists have confirmed the existence of a new form of atomic nuclei, and the fact that it’s not symmetrical challenges the fundamental theories of physics that explain our Universe. But that’s not as bad as it sounds, because the discovery could help scientists solve one of the biggest mysteries in theoretical physics – where is…
Physicists say they’ve figured out how to ‘see’ inside a black hole
What lies beyond the event horizon. Physicists have come up with a new way to predict what lies beyond the event horizon of a black hole, and it could give us a more accurate idea of their mysterious internal structures. Thanks to the first – and now second – direct observation of gravitational waves emanating…
