For the last 50 years, astronomers have speculated that some supermassive black holes might “run away” from their home galaxies given the right conditions. Now, astronomers believe they have discovered a strong candidate for a supermassive black hole that has done just that, according to new research published on the preprint server arXiv.org, which has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.

One of the great questions for humanity is whether we are alone in the universe. Indeed, astrobiologists appear tantalizingly close to being able to spot the signs of life on other Earths — should it exist elsewhere — using modern observatories such as the James Webb Space Telescope.
Now a group of astronomers have taken this question further by asking whether life could exist in other universes. In other words, they want to know whether we are alone in the multiverse. And they have developed a way to explore this question by considering the range of conditions that might exist in other universes.
The question comes about because the fundamental constants that govern physical laws have values that seem perfectly arranged to allow life to emerge.
New galaxy candidates from a James Webb Space Telescope survey have astronomers shocked and thrilled.
New results show fully formed galaxies in the early Universe that could rewrite what we know about galaxies and black holes.
The properties of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), the primordial form of matter in the early universe, is conventionally described using relativistic hydrodynamical models. However, these models predict low particle yields in the low transverse momentum region, which is at odds with experimental data. To address this discrepancy, researchers from Japan now propose a novel framework based on a “core-corona” picture of QGP, which predicts that the corona component may contribute to the observed high particle yields.
Research in fundamental science has revealed the existence of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) – a newly identified state of matter – as the constituent of the early universe. Known to have existed a microsecond after the Big Bang, the QGP, essentially a soup of quarks and gluons, cooled down with time to form hadrons like protons and neutrons – the building blocks of all matter. One way to reproduce the extreme conditions prevailing when QGP existed is through relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this regard, particle accelerator facilities like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have furthered our understanding of QGP with experimental data pertaining to such collisions.
Meanwhile, theoretical physicists have employed multistage relativistic hydrodynamic models to explain the data, since the QGP behaves very much like a perfect fluid. However, there has been a serious lingering disagreement between these models and data in the region of low transverse momentum, where both the conventional and hybrid models have failed to explain the particle yields observed in the experiments.
ESA’s Euclid project manager said it is a “cosmic embarrassment” that we do not know more about these mysterious forces.
The European Space Agency (ESA) will launch its Euclid space observatory in the coming months to investigate the mysterious cosmic phenomena known as dark matter and dark energy.
ESA plans to shed new light on dark energy and dark matter.

It will be the first space mission in history to exclusively search for the mysterious forces, which make up 95 percent of the universe.
Black holes are so powerful that we’ve had to come up with new words to describe their awesome annihilation abilities. Objects that come in contact with the extreme gravitational pull of one of these voids are at risk of being simultaneously stretched and ripped apart, leaving elongated strands of matter that look something like spaghetti or a similar pasta.
Hence we say that black holes often “spaghettify” their meals before consuming them.
Astronomers from UCLA and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii have been watching an odd cloud getting pulled apart for the past few decades as it accelerates towards Sagittarius A (Sgr A), the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.
My 11th Ambient music video release for YT. An unofficial Soundtrack to the Sci Fi movie ‘2010: The Year we Make Contact’ (starring Roy Scheider & Helen Mirren). The movie was based on the Arthur C. Clarke novel, which was the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey. I went alot more in depth with the visuals on this one, recreating shots from the original movie, but with an extra dash of VFX that weren’t easy to pull off on a PC in 1986.
In upcoming video releases I will be doing a deep dive into the ambient multiverse, exploring various styles from Space Ambient to Dark Ambient to Cyberpunk to Sleep music to White Noise. My focus on this channel is to create relaxing cinematic ambient background music for chilling, focus, work and meditation. With the occasional eerie dark ambient tracks. The theme for my video backdrops is a rich fusion of derelict imagery, planets and moons.

At present, scientists study gravitational fields passively. They observe and try to understand existing gravitational fields produced by large inertial masses such as stars or planets, without being able to change them, as with magnetic fields. It was this frustration that led Füzfa to attempt a revolutionary approach: creating gravitational fields at will from well-controlled magnetic fields and observing how these magnetic fields could bend space-time.
In his article, Füzfa has proposed, with supporting mathematical proof, a device with which to create detectable gravitational fields. This theoretical device is based on superconducting electromagnets and therefore relies on technologies routinely used, for example, at CERN or the ITER reactor.
