Setting Up the Test, Total Conflict and Order Parameters

For more than three hundred years, Amonons first law has been one of the most reliable principles of physics. Written by the French physicist Guillaume Amontons in his 1699 book De la résistance causée dans les machines, the law states that the force of friction is directly proportional to the applied load, which means that … Read more

Cosmic 'Dead Zone' for Black Holes Is Real, New Evidence Suggests

The latest update to LIGO’s catalog has doubled the number of confirmed gravitational waves – waves in spacetime caused by catastrophic events. And now, astronomers come to the dire decision of selecting an updated dataset. In a Nature paper published today, researchers have confirmed the first evidence of two unstable supernovae, doing so with gravitational … Read more

Scientists were doing experiments in the laboratory until a strange situation appeared that was considered impossible for more than 50 years.

The early universe is so far outside our understanding of how the world works that it is difficult to describe in words. At that time, the universe was not filled with stars and galaxies but with a boiling soup of quarks and gluons, with several black holes that were thrown, sometimes exploding like depth charges. … Read more

Scientists at the world's largest particle accelerator have succeeded in turning lead into gold during the simulation of the Big Bang, but the amount produced is small, on the order of trillionths of a gram.

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest, have been able to turn lead into gold. According to Revista Oeste, that was not the purpose of the experiment. The LHC was designed to simulate conditions close to the Big Bang, the collision of beams of lead nuclei at close to the speed of … Read more

Groundbreaking new theory rewrites the quantum view of the Big Bang

A Theory of Gravity That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Minutes The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always posed a problem. Physics can explain a lot about the universe once it’s stable and expanding, but in the beginning, when heat and energy were extremes, it was still hard to pin … Read more
