Simulations predict existence of radio wave hotspots in black holes

Some of the synthetic images produced by the researchers show the hotspots spinning as an observer spins around the black hole’s spin axis. Credit: Crinquand et al Black holes, regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are among the most fascinating and studied cosmic phenomena. Although there are now countless …

Pacific islands are fighting for their existence before rising sea levels engulf them

Pacific islands are fighting for their existence before rising sea levels engulf them

Despite contributing less than 0.03% of total global carbon emissions, the Pacific islands are on the front lines of the climate crisis. Entire countries could be submerged under water in the next two to three decades. How do these island states fight for survival? A country is more than its land. A country is its …

A bold solution to a quantum mystery: does a “game” between the observer and nature define existence? – The debriefing

A team of scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China has proposed a bold solution to the “measurement problem” in quantum mechanics, suggesting that the end result of states of existence is determined by a “game” between the observer and nature. For more than a century, the quantum realm has imposed an …
