Everything, including black holes, eventually evaporates: Explore
The study was published June 2 in “Physical Review Letters,” the flagship journal of the American Physical Society (APS). This radiation is also caused by gravity and the curvature of space-time. This means that all large objects in the universe, such as stellar remnants, will eventually disappear. Spiral In this new study, Radboud University researchers…
Astronomers discover a mysterious perfect circular explosion in space
Researchers from the University of Turku were involved in an international collaboration led by astrophysicists from the University of Copenhagen, which led to the discovery. The study has just been published in the journal Nature. Kilonovas are massive explosions that occur when two neutron stars orbiting each other eventually collide. Kilonovae are responsible for creating…
Sharper images of black holes can show if they are actually holes
The very first image of a black hole came three years ago. But now, through a major international collaboration, astronomers have presented the first image of a black hole that is much closer to us, in the heart of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Participants: Michael Lindqvist, astronomer at Chalmers and Onsala Space Observatory. Göran…
RIGHT NOW: The black hole in the middle of the Milky Way was photographed for the first time
A new groundbreaking novelty is expected to be presented today on the black hole in the center of the Milky Way. You must have used the so-called “Event Horizon” telescope to capture the image and can prove very old theories through it. Hear Ekot’s experts comment on the incident in the player above.
New center parties risk ending up in a political black hole
Basically, the idea is good, because many voters are tired of bloc politics, says Kasper Møller Hansen, who is an election researcher and professor at the Department of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen. But as a new party without a clear flagship issue, it is not an easy place to place itself in…
The first black hole is significantly larger than previously thought
The first black hole discovered in space in 1964 is both larger – and further away – than previously thought. A black hole is a concentration of mass that has such a strong gravitational field that not even light can get out of it – and that has probably arisen after a star collapsed. The…
Black holes may contain a “wormhole”
A mystery surrounding black holes that has eluded scientists for decades may be on its way to its solution – an imaginative solution. It is about what is called the information hole’s information paradox. – Here there will be wormholes, some kind of tunnels into other worlds, which is an important ingredient, says Bengt Gustafsson,…
2 Americans win the Nobel Prize in Economic Science 2020
In 2020, two American economists won the Central Bank’s (Sveriges Riksbank) prize in economic science in memory of Alfred Nobel. The Royal Academy of Sciences said it awarded the prize to Paul R. Milgrom and Robert B. Wilson “for improvements in auction theory and inventions of new auction formats.” Honorees equally shares the $ 1.1…
The poet Louise Gluck wins the Nobel Prize in Literature
The American poet Louise Glück has won this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy praised Glück’s “unmistakable poetic voice which, with its fierce beauty, makes individual existence universal.” Glück has published 12 collections of poems, and her previous awards include the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. The literature prize is just…
3 Divide the Nobel Prize in Physics for Black Hole Research
STOCKHOLM – Three researchers have won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for their discoveries related to black holes. The Royal Academy of Sciences said Tuesday it gave half of the $ 1.1 million prize to Roger Penrose in the UK for using mathematics to prove that black holes are a “direct consequence of Albert…
Nobel Prize in Physics – for the discovery and description of black holes
Roger Penrose receives the Nobel Prize in Physics for having succeeded in linking the description of black holes with Einstein’s theory of relativity. The other half of the prize goes to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez who discovered a supermassive object in the middle of the Milky Way. Vetenskapsradion’s Camilla Widebeck and Ulrika Björkstén broadcast…
