Physicists believe that they have finally cracked Stephen Hawking's famous black hole paradox.
The research, published in Physical Review Letters, explores the relationship between the quantum state of a compact matter source and of its asymptotic graviton field.
Black holes are extremely dense, with gravitational pulls so ferocious not even light escapes. Some, the “supermassive” black holes, are immense, like the one at our Milky Way galaxy’s center 4 million times the sun’s mass. Smaller “stellar-mass” black holes possess the mass of a single star.
Buried for milenia under ancient ice hides a voracious monster
Climate change is scary, the mega crap that awaits us in a few short decades is enough to make us dread the passing of the years. But we might not be around when the repercussions of our global pillage descend, because we may have unleashed something biblically deadly in the meantime. Hidden under ancient ice lie creatures capable of wiping out civilisations and eradicating entire species. We are slowly setting them free on the world once again, and the first casualties have already fallen. Prepare yourself for the frightening reality of ancient frozen pathogens.
