Cosmologists find new evidence our universe has an antimatter twin

Posted by in categories: cosmology, quantum physics

The concept of a mirror universe has often been studied in theoretical cosmology, and as a new study shows, it might help us solve problems with the cosmological constant.

Stochasticity of cosmic rays from supernova remnants and the ionization rates in molecular clouds

Posted by in category: cosmology

This paper demonstrates that a stochastic, rather than uniform, injection rate of MeV cosmic rays from supernovae can successfully model the observed ionization rate distribution for Galactic molecular clouds.

Astronomers capture rare “bizarre” star explosion that could help uncover “the mysteries of the universe”

Posted by in category: cosmology

Seeing a supernova, or an exploding star, is a unique spectacle in itself. But recently, astronomers have found something even more unique: A star explosion so “extremely warped” that it looked like it was multiple images in the sky.

So how did this happen?

It’s not magic, according to the California Institute of Technology, but an effect known as “gravitational lensing,” which happens when gravity from a dense object in space “distorts and brightens the light of an object behind it.” In the case of supernova SN Zwicky, it was the gravity of another galaxy that impacted its appearance.

First batch of DESI data available for scientists to mine

Posted by in categories: computing, cosmology, mapping

Early Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) release holds nearly two million objects, including distant galaxies, quasars and stars in our own Milky Way.

Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), the most robust multi-object survey spectrograph, capable of mapping more than 40 million galaxies, quasars, and stars, recorded an 80-terabyte data set this Tuesday.

A brilliant cosmic burst 100 times as bright as our galaxy came from 2 black holes circling each other, study finds

Posted by in category: cosmology

The smaller black hole, with a mass of about 150 million suns, orbits its larger companion, with a mass of 18 billion suns, at near the speed of light.

It’s this rapid dance that sparked the bright flare from this system, according to a new study published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society in March.

The recorded burst, which astronomers observed in February 2022, occurred when the smaller black hole crashed into a disk of gas surrounding the larger black hole, the study’s scientists said.

Controversial claim from Nobel Prize winner: The universe keeps dying and being reborn

Posted by in categories: cosmology, mathematics, physics

Editor’s note: For a more mainstream assessment of this idea, see this article by Dr. Ethan Siegel.

Sir Roger Penrose, a mathematician and physicist from the University of Oxford who shared the Nobel Prize in physics in 2020, claims our universe has gone through multiple Big Bangs, with another one coming in our future.

The Cosmic Connectome: Our Universe is a Giant Brain, According to Scientists

Posted by in categories: cosmology, neuroscience

A new research at the intersection of cosmology and neurobiology implies that diverse physical processes lead to similar levels of complexity and self-organization present in structures of scales.

An astrophysicist at the University of Bologna and a neurosurgeon at the University of Verona compared the network of neuronal cells in the human brain with the cosmic network of galaxies and found astounding similarities.

In their paper ‘The quantitative comparison between the neuronal network and the cosmic web’ published in Frontiers in Physics, Franco Vazza, astrophysicist at the University of Bologna, and Alberto Feletti, neurosurgeon at the University of Verona, investigated the similarities between two of the most complex systems in existence: the cosmic web of galactic superclusters and the network of neuronal cells in the human brain.
