Two Time Crystals Have Been Successfully Connected Together For the First Time

Alexandr Gnezdilov Light Painting/Moment/GettyThe wonderful step taken by physicistsPhysicists have just taken an wonderful step regarding quantum devices that seems like something out of science fiction.For the first time, isolated sets of particles acting like unusual states of matter known as time crystals have been connected into a single, advancing system that could...

NASA’s New Vasimr Plasma Engine Could Get to Mars in Less Than 6 Weeks

Ad Astra’s rocket will travel ten times quicker than today’s chemical rockets while using one-tenth the amount of fuel.NASA lately delivered $10 million in financing to Ad Astra Rocket Company of Texas for more development of its Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR), an electromagnetic thruster efficient of propelling a spaceship to Mars in...

Scientists BELIEVE Big Bang Was One White Hole

White holes are theoretical cosmic regions that function in an opposite way to black holes. Credit: Future/Adam SmithWhite Holes have been the missing piece of the Universe puzzle since Einstein proposed the Concept of General Relativity.On paper, they are supposed to be the exact opposite of a black hole, at least in terms of time....

Early Planetary Migration Can Explain Missing Planets

X-rays Have Been Spotted From Behind A Black Hole For the First Time Ever

Researchers observed bright flares of X-ray emissions. Image credit: Dan WilkinsResearchers at Stanford University have actually located a strange pattern while seeing the X-rays from the supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy 800 million light-yrs away. The black hole, it seems, is spewing out these rays into the universe around it.Dan...

The Perseids Meteor Shower is Back, but Not Exactly
