Information Paradox- Can black holes delete the universe?

Interstellar Travel - Is it possible?

Universe has always been a topic of huge interest. And why shouldn’t it be. It has brightest stars and spinning galaxies. Bright supernovas, dusty nebula, mysterious black holes and the list goes on. There are some things which are not even discovered yet. One’s lifetime is not enough to study and understand them. Many scientists have dedicated their lives for it. They make theories on how life would be in far part of the universe. Or even in the neighboring galaxy. Or could life even exist in other galaxies. Human technology is not that advanced YET to figure these things out. So unfortunately, such theories just remain theories. This makes us wonder; wouldn’t it be cool to just travel all the way from our galaxy to the nearby galaxy and see for ourselves? Travelling from one galaxy to another like the Guardians of the Galaxy and visiting different planets, meeting different beings, knowing their way of life! Who knows, we might bump into Thanos and punch him in fac

Einstein's General Relativity Confirmed!

Black holes have always been an interesting subject of conversation among the space enthusiastic. And if you have been following this blog from the very beginning, you will know that I’ve already written four blogs just about black holes and researches related to black holes. So this is yet another blog about black holes because-there aren’t just enough! So this blog is about how the latest research on black hole proved Einstein’s general theory of relativity! For the first time, astronomers have confirmed Einstein’s century old theory by observing action near black hole.   Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, an international team of professional sky-gazers watched as a star swung by the super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and observed the effect the black hole’s extreme gravitational field had on the star’s motion.   By accurately tracing the position and speed of this single star, known as S2, astrono

Hawking's Theory

All the brilliant minds have the habit of going with a bang. This is exactly what Prof. Stephen Hawking did when he passed away on March 14, 2018. The physicists died at the age of 76 and it seemed like the world stood still. Tributes flooded in for the greatest scientist of all time. Everybody was celebrating his work and achievements. But this wasn’t the end. The physicist left behind some more ground breaking theories in his residence at Cambridge that won him countless honors in the field of cosmology, general relativity, quantum gravity and black holes . However, one of his papers is yet to be published which will prove his greatest contribution in the field of Multi-verse.   According to reports, colleagues of Hawking have revealed the renowned theoretical physicist’s final academic work involved the theory explaining how humans could detect parallel universes .  In the paper, Hawking has given some ground breaking mathematics needed to find the traces of para

New Horizon Spacecraft Awakens

New Horizons Spacecraft out of Hibernation mode Speeding through the outer space of our Solar system, New Horizons spacecraft has awakened after its five and half months of hibernation, ready for its second act after its 2015 flyby of Pluto. This spacecraft is 3.8 billion light years away from Earth and has been sending photographs and information about our beloved planet, Pluto. New horizons woke up with the on-board timer late Monday, but the radio signals confirms that it took six hours to reach the   Earth that the New horizon has emerged, hence completing journey   at light speed   at 2.12am   EDT, Tuesday. Alice Bowman, the New Horizons operation manager confirmed that the spacecraft has been functioning normally and efficiently. Back in 2015, the spacecraft had sent stunning images of the Pluto surface like vast mountain ranges, cryovolcanoes, glaciers, methane snow and other surprising geographic activity. New Horizons is now on a new, extended missio
