Scientists have measured the recoil velocity from a cataclysmic collision between two black holes for the very first time. Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time first proposed to exist by Albert Einstein, and detected for the first time in 2015. Another first came in 2019, when scientists picked up a gravitational wave signal resulting from a violent merger between vastly …

Hot flashes and sleepless nights are just some of the symptoms of perimenopause that have been disrupting Isabel Kallman’s life. At 53 years old, Kallman’s hormones naturally started to decline, and the only medication available for her is menopause hormone therapy. For women experiencing the lead-up to menopause, hormone therapy treatment can involve using estrogen to help alleviate symptoms — …

Tanika Valbrun plays with her 4-month-old son, Jasai Kristian Valbru, at home in Lithia Springs. Valbrun was told she needed a hysterectomy but sought an alternative surgery that preserved her ability to have children. (Hyosub Shin/AJC) Tanika Gray Valbrun walked out of the doctor’s office, the grief slowly starting to suffocate her. Tanika Gray Valbrun walked out of the doctor’s …

New research suggests that “little red dots” seen in the early universe may actually be a new class of cosmic object: black hole stars. If this theory is correct, it could explain how black holes managed to grow to supermassive sizes before the universe was even 1 billion years old. Little red dots are one of the most curious celestial …

The recoil imparted as two black holes collide has now been measured using gravitational waves. It’s the first-ever measurement to capture not just the velocity at which the newly formed black hole was punted across space, but also the direction, offering a new tool for understanding black hole mergers. From the 2019 gravitational wave event GW190412, astronomers have determined that …

Good job, Mr. Milchik. You just made history. For his chilling performance as the hypnotic and unnervingly cheerful Seth Milchick in Apple TV+’s genre-defying drama “Severance,” Tramell Tillman won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series, becoming the first Black man ever to win in the category. It was the only acting field that had yet to …

Dakota Johnson’s Sheer Black Dress Is Going Viral The Materialist actor arrived at the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner in New York City on Sept. 11 in one of her most daring looks, and the internet is in shambles. The Kering Foundation‘s annual Caring for Women dinner brings together individuals who support its mission of ending gender-based violence, “which …

Science advances through data that don’t fit our current understanding. At least that was Thomas Kuhn’s theory in his famous On the Structure of Scientific Revolutions. So scientists should welcome new data that challenges their understanding of how the universe works. A recent paper, available in pre-print on arXiv, using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) might just …

According to the theory by Stephen Hawking, black holes emit particles and radiation, which leads to them gradually losing mass. Small black holes evaporate faster, and eventually, this process ends in a final burst. The problem with observing these PBHs exploding is that they would have evaporated already, or their explosions are too rare or too weak to detect. Source …
