Detecting Gravitational Waves From Binary Black Holes And Neutron Stars
by George Cronk April 28, 2019Gravitational-wave astronomy is an emerging branch of observational astronomy which aims to use gravitational waves (minute distortions of spacetime predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity) to collect observational data about objects such as neutron stars and black holes, events…

A Billion Years | That’s The Theory Behind The Big Bang
by George Cronk April 20, 2019Massive stars die show that stars like the sun weren’t made planetaries. You can picture a snap shot of the early Universe, somewhere around 100,000 years after the Big Bang. The problem in the early universe was, even though things were cooling down, molecular…

Under General Relativity, A Black Hole Is Inescapable
by George Cronk January 25, 2019We Just Got Lab Made Evidence Of Stephen Hawking’s Greatest Prediction About Black Holes. Nothing, not even light, can escape from inside the event horizon. The black hole is the background spacetime for a quantum field theory. the heart of…

Digital Quantum Computing | Today’s Computers Are Binary
by George Cronk January 7, 2019The feat is a step toward making quantum computing devices from silicon, the same material used in today’s smartphones and computers. The team created qubits from single electrons trapped in silicon chambers known as double quantum dots. Scientists have shown…

Earth’s Magnetic Field Is Earth’s Protective Shield
by George Cronk December 30, 2018Located from Chile to Zimbabwe is the South Atlantic Anomaly, which researchers believe has an extremely magnetic field. Couldn’t help but notice they’re not even studying a stalagmite near the time of a reversal. Nevertheless, scientists are still left with…

Most Fuel Cells Are Too Expensive, Inefficient, Or Both
by George Cronk December 30, 2018A new catalyst could dramatically decrease the cost of producing hydrogen, one of the cleanest renewable fuels. Many fuel cells require expensive platinum-based catalysts substances that initiate and speed up chemical reactions – to help convert renewable fuels into electrical…

What About Dark Energy, Vacuum Energy, Or A Cosmological Constant?
by George Cronk December 29, 2018In their article, the scientists propose a new model with dark energy and our universe riding on an expanding bubble in an extra dimension. So, one idea for the dark energy is that it is a modern version of the…
