An ancient, fast-feeding quasar is breaking the rules of how black holes consume matter and generate galaxy-shaping jets.
Back in 2000, a team of physicists led by Lijun Wang at the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, USA, pulled off a mind-bending experiment. They fired a precisely shaped laser pulse through a special ...
A supermassive black hole roughly 11.6 billion light-years from Earth is consuming matter at 13 times the theoretical maximum rate, forcing astrophysicists to reconsider how these cosmic giants grew ...
Traveling at the speed of light 300,000 km per second sounds impossibly fast, yet even this ultimate velocity pales against the vastness of space. From reaching nearby stars like Proxima Centauri to ...
A fundamental rule of nature is that nothing travels faster than the speed of light. Now, physicists working in Europe say they may have... New Data Put Cosmic Speed Limit To The Test A fundamental ...
A newly proposed cosmic speed limit may constrain how fast anything in the universe can grow. Its existence follows from Alan Turing’s pioneering work on theoretical computer science, which opens the ...
