Scientists Detect Strange Signal in Gravitational Waves

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-19 04:06:23

For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil — or "kick," in the parlance — resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two preexisting ones. The international team of researchers measured the ripples in the fabric of spacetime, known as gravitational waves, allowing them to get unprecedented insights into the turbulent dynamics of two black holes crashing into each other. The team analyzed data collected by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo gravitatio

Jack Black and Paul Rudd’s Meta ‘Anaconda’ Trailer Goes Full ‘Tropic Thunder’

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-09-19 21:00:33

Sony Pictures Entertainment finally released the official trailer for a new Anaconda remake, starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black, transforming the creature feature into a full-on comedy. The first time we heard of an Anaconda remake was last December. In it, Rudd and Black essentially gave us a vibe check that their remake of the film would lean heavily into the campy nature of the 1997 flick starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, and Jon Voight. Before that, all we knew about the plot was that it wo

A single, 'naked' black hole confounds theories of the young cosmos

news.ycombinator.com Charlie Wood 2025-09-24 19:27:12

A black hole unlike any seen before has been spotted in the early universe. It’s huge and appears to be essentially on its own, with few stars circling it. The object, which may represent a whole new class of enormous “naked” black holes, upends the textbook understanding of the young universe. “This is completely off the scale,” said Roberto Maiolino, an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge who helped reveal the nature of the object in a preprint posted on August 29. “It’s terribly ex

Scientists Say They Can't Explain the Signal They Just Detected From Beyond Our Galaxy

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-24 18:15:24

Gamma ray bursts are some of the most powerful explosions in the universe, unleashing as much energy in mere seconds as the Sun will in its entire 10 billion year lifespan. Typically, they're produced by stars dying in a spectacular supernova — a rapid collapse that completely obliterates the stellar object. But now, astronomers say they've detected a gamma ray burst that utterly defies explanation: it repeated multiple times over the course of a single day, as if the star somehow suffered back

New black hole merger bolsters Hawking area theorem

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-28 05:41:19

Back in 1971, the late physicist Stephen Hawking made an intriguing prediction: The total surface area of a black hole cannot decrease, only increase or remain stable. So if two black holes combine, the newly formed black hole will have a larger surface area. This became known as Hawking's area theorem. Analysis of the gravitational signal from a black hole merger detected in January provides the best observational evidence to date in support of Hawking's theorem, according to a new paper publis

‘Black Phone 2’ Star Says Sequel Evokes ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’

When horror fans first heard a sequel to The Black Phone was coming, there was excitement—but also confusion. Didn’t the Grabber, the diabolical child killer, die at the end of the 2021 movie, enabling his would-be final victim to escape? Of course he did!

Astrophysicists find no 'hair' on black holes

According to Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, the behavior of a black hole depends on two numbers: how heavy it is, and how fast it is rotating. And that’s it. Black holes are said to have “no hair” — no features that distinguish them from their fellows with the same mass and spin. With new data, it has started to become possible to test this no-hair conjecture. Astronomers have detected hundreds of signals from colliding black holes over the past 10 years.
