Since Vera Rubin's pioneering work on galactic rotation, the term Dark Matter has intrigued many people. Something else that often accompanies this term is Dark Energy. Both sound mysterious, and it's easy to imagine them as sinister forces, I did. But then I learned Dark simply implied that it doesn’t interact with light.

A draft policy on opening up India’s space sector is expected to bring transformational change. The chairman of the commercial arm of the Indian Space Agency said this on November 10. Speaking during an interview at Euroconsult’s World Satellite Business Week Virtual Edition conference, chairman and managing director of Antrix Corp. Rakesh Sasibhushan said the Spacecom Policy draft … Continue reading Revolutionary Changes in India’s Spacecom Policy
The two largest experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), ATLAS and CMS, have observed a previously undetected decay mode of the Higgs boson into the bottom quark and its antiparticle. The same experiments, based at CERN, the European particle-physics laboratory outside Geneva, Switzerland, first discovered the Higgs in 2012. The boson, which is a key … Continue reading Higgs Boson Decay to Bottom Quarks Confirmed
Many technologists forecast that future computers will have immense computing power. One possible use for this power could be to run detailed simulations of past generations or similar individuals. These advanced computers could run multiple simulations simultaneously, with the simulated people being descendants of an original race. The idea that we might be part of … Continue reading Exploring Parallel Universes and Quantum Reality
Scientists created a model that explains high-energy cosmic rays in our Galaxy, detailing where they come from, how they behave, and how they interact with space between stars. This model includes different processes, like supernova explosions and active galactic nuclei, that help speed up these cosmic particles to almost the speed of light. Understanding these … Continue reading How Supernova Explosions Shape Cosmic Ray Acceleration
Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory? I just had a glass of water. Why? I was thirsty. Why was I thirsty? Because it’s been a hot day. Why has it been a hot day? Well, this time of year, the planet’s relative position to the sun? Answer: The Big Bang. You can save … Continue reading What the Big Bang Theory Reveals About Reality
Dark matter has been one of the greatest astronomical mysteries for a very long time. It was first speculated as far back as the 1600’s, not long after Newton presented his theory of gravity, as astronomers considered objects that may emit little or no light but could instead be observed by their gravitational effect on … Continue reading The Invisible Giant: Dark Matter is Quietly Reshaping the Universe
On the 20th of August 1977, it started: Voyager 2 was launched into the vastness of space, marking a significant milestone in human exploration. This ambitious mission aimed to gather vital data about the outer planets and their moons. Then, on the 5th of September, the twin spacecraft Voyager 1 was launched, shortly after its … Continue reading Exploring Jupiter to Neptune: The Voyager Legacy
