Testable theory suggests information has mass and could account for universe’s dark matter
A new paper formulates and suggests laboratory experiments to confirm mass-energy-information equivalence.
There is no dark matter. Instead, information has mass, physicist says
Is information the fifth form of matter?
Gravitational wave echoes may confirm Stephen Hawking’s hypothesis of quantum black holes
Echoes in gravitational wave signals suggest that the event horizon of a black hole may be more complicated than scientists currently think.
Research from the University of Waterloo reports the first tentative detection of these echoes, caused by a microscopic quantum “fuzz” that surrounds newly formed black holes.
Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time, caused by the collision of massive, compact objects in space, such as black holes or neutron stars.

Could Our Universe Be 2-Dimensional? Black Holes Offer A Clue
When you throw something into a black hole, its information seems to disappear. This may be a hint that black holes, as well as our entire universe, is 2-dimensional.
Keeping Track of the World’s Highest-Intensity Neutrino Beam
Essentially neutrino lasers could take out missiles and also hack missiles or nukes rendering them inert in defense practices.

Scientists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) are working on research projects that aim to answer fundamental physics questions. How did the universe begin? What are dark matter and dark energy? What is the mass hierarchy of neutrinos? Are there other undiscovered particles beyond the currently known Standard Model of Particle Physics?
A star called Betelgeuse might be ready to explode into a giant supernova
If we confirm its in its final phase of life, we might learn how to actually predict when these red supergiant stars suddenly explode.
Scientists have discovered strange objects orbiting our galaxy’s black hole
Every major galaxy is home to a supermassive black hole, and our own Milky Way is no exception. Astronomers recently found something unexpected near this massive object — 4 mysterious objects, each similar to a pair of bizarre bodies spotted in recent years in this same region of the galaxy.
Our local supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*, pronounced Sag A star), contains roughly 4 million times as much mass as the Sun. Not far from this black hole, members of a newly-discovered class of objects are caught in a gravitational dance with a massive body.
Cosmologists Debate How Fast the Universe Is Expanding
New measurements could upend the standard theory of the cosmos that has reigned since the discovery of dark energy 21 years ago.
