Today’s Nice Price or No Dice Mustang checks all the right boxes — six-speed stick, Recaro seats, and stealthy-gray paint among the highlights. We’ll have to decide if this pony’s price tag is worth whipping out the checkbook. Getting by on its looks was not something the 2000 Toyota WiLL we considered yesterday will …

‘Battle of the Big Bang’ Review: A Question of Origins  The Wall Street Journal Source link

Scientists from the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy (IfA) have discovered the most energetic cosmic explosions since the Big Bang. Extreme nuclear transients (ENTs) occur when massive stars several times larger than our Sun are torn apart by supermassive black holes. ENTs shine with intense luminosity, much brighter than supernovae, which originate from the violent death of massive stars. …

New research suggests that primordial black holes created during the Big Bang could have played a major role in forming the universe’s first stars. The findings could help to assess how suitable primordial black holes are as candidates for dark matter, the universe’s most mysterious “stuff.” But the study team isn’t sure yet whether these black holes helped star formation, …

A team of scientists led by expert Raúl Jiménez, ICREA researcher at the University of Barcelona’s Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB), in collaboration with the University of Padua (Italy), has presented a revolutionary theory about the origins of the Universe. The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, introduces a radical change in the understanding of the first moments …

Astronomers have re-examined the biggest explosion ever seen, possibly the most massive explosion since the Big Bang, to learn more about mysterious blasts of high-energy called gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Aptly named the “Brightest Of All Time,” or the “BOAT,” and officially designated GRB 221009A, this is the most powerful GRB ever detected. And that’s no mean feat, considering that a …

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made a groundbreaking discovery that could validate long-held assumptions about the early universe. The discovery, detailed in a recent study submitted to Nature, revolves around the detection of AMORE6, a galaxy that may be a rare example of what scientists have been searching for: a pristine, zero-metallicity galaxy. This galaxy, with …

Image by Yihan Wang via Pexels According to The Conversation, a new study published in Physical Review D challenges the common idea that the Big Bang was the start of everything. Instead, researchers suggest it might have been a rebound—a bounce—after a huge gravitational collapse forming a black hole. This “black hole universe” idea uses everyday physics to rethink cosmic …
