The largest galaxies can be seen in almost any telescope, under the right conditions. For example, my first successful photograph of theAndromeda Galaxywas captured using a compact refractor telescope with an 80mm aperture. However, viewing galaxies through the eyepiece of a telescope like this is ...

(keV) coming from deep within the Milky Way. This signal was believed to be consistent with what would arise from decaying sterile neutrino dark matter. In 2020, equipped with new data from the XMM-Newton space X-raytelescope, another team of physicists set out to replicate that signal—and...
that episode of stargate with the aliens that manner of factly say QM is a common blunder and walk through walls comes to mind. and I would be cautious being super vehement about abstract concepts and theories, even something as simple as the James Webb telescope seems to be really shaking ...
The James Webb Space Telescope, launched after 30 years of development on Dec. 25, 2021, is also expected to contribute to the hunt for the elusive substance. With its infrared eyes able to see to the beginning of time, the telescope of the century won't be able to see dark matter dir...
At least we know now that the age of the Universe is 13.8 billion years and we are confident that this time we are not far wrong. Globular cluster Messier 79, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. Credit: NASA and ESA. Acknowledgement: S. Djorgovski (Caltech) and F. Ferraro (Unive...
t work. And it seems strange to be saying Isaac Newton was wrong, but I mean, there is a lot of reference points where Newton’s work has been updated, and he was wrong in some stages. Einstein’s work did, basically, throw out a lot of the ideas that he had and then have...
So a Historyscope is like turning the Internet into a sonarscope, a radarscope, a telescope, a microscope of history, all at the same time, based on Googling. Not that it's as easy as operating some equipment. Google is a syntactic search engine, with no semantic awareness, and it ...
If such a flywheel clock were large enough, we might be able to read it with a powerful telescope on earth. Barring other interference, it would at first automatically read behind 1.3 seconds just because we would see it in history, the time the picture of light takes to reach us. But ...
To understand general relativity, first, let's start with gravity, the force of attraction that two objects exert on one another.Sir Isaac Newtonquantified gravity in the same text in which he formulated his three laws of motion, the "Principia." ...
