A study has revealed that galaxies possess a regulatory mechanism similar to a heart and lungs, which controls their growth by limiting gas absorption.
This mechanism, involving a supermassive black hole and its jet emissions, prevents galaxies from expanding too rapidly, ensuring their longevity and preventing premature aging into “zombie” galaxies.
Galaxies avoid an early death because they have a “heart and lungs” which effectively regulate their “breathing” and prevent them from growing out of control, a new study suggests.
Low-energy nuclear fusion reactions are influenced by the migration of neutrons and protons between fusing nuclei and their isospin compositions. Research conducted using high-performance computational models has shown the importance of isospin dynamics and nuclear shapes, particularly in asymmetric, neutron-rich systems, revealing significant implications for nuclear physics and potential energy applications.
Low-Energy Nuclear Fusion
Low-energy nuclear fusion reactions can potentially provide clean energy. In stars, low-energy fusion reactions during the stages of carbon and oxygen burning are critical to stellar evolution. These reactions also offer valuable insights into the exotic processes occurring in the inner crust of neutron stars as they accumulate matter. However, scientists do not fully understand the underlying dynamics governing these reactions.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is not your typical telescope. Instead, ALMA, located in northern Chile’s high-and-dry Atacama Desert, is a radio telescope comprised of 66 high-precision antennas that work in perfect harmony. When ALMA’s antennas (which range in diameter from 7 to 12 meters) are deployed in various ways, the array may zoom in on some of the universe’s most distant cosmic objects while also recording images crisper than those generated by the Hubble Space Telescope.
First starlight
In a research published in the journal Nature, an international team of astronomers utilized this amazing array to investigate MACS1149-JD1, an exceedingly distant galaxy. The team was shocked to uncover tiny signs of ionized oxygen emitted about 13.3 billion years ago (or 500 million years after the Big Bang).
The Spiral Multiverse Theory, proposed by computer engineer Tejas Shinde, challenges the conventional Big Bang theory by suggesting a continuous spiral pattern universe originating from a single point, or singularity. This theory posits that each universe begins with its own bang, forming a network of interconnected universes expanding in a spiral shape. The theory introduces the concept of interdimensional quasars as portals for multiverse travel and suggests each universe undergoes its own inflation without observable changes in the cosmic microwave background. This new perspective on cosmic evolution could open up new avenues for scientific exploration and understanding.
The Spiral Multiverse Theory, proposed by Tejas Shinde, a computer engineer, suggests a continuous spiral pattern universe originating from a single point, known as a singularity. This theory challenges the conventional Big Bang theory, which posits a singular explosive origin for the universe. Instead, the Spiral Multiverse Theory proposes that each universe begins with its own bang, forming a network of interconnected universes. This network, or multiverse, expands in a spiral shape, with the width and length of the arms expanding as the universe expands. The point where all universes connect is referred to as the Everyverse.
The Spiral Multiverse Theory offers a fresh perspective on cosmic evolution and presents a potential path for practical research. It introduces the concept of interdimensional quasars as portals for multiverse travel. The theory also suggests that each universe undergoes its own inflation without observable changes in the cosmic microwave background, a remnant radiation from the Big Bang.

In 2023, a team of researchers proposed that our universe experienced not one, but TWO Big Bangs about a month apart from one another. The first for the stuff described by our Standard Model of Particle Physics. And the second for that ever elusive Dark Matter and all the particles associated with it.

Researchers have confirmed the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole in the core of Omega Centauri, a cluster that once formed the heart of a separate galaxy. This finding enhances our understanding of black hole evolution and galaxy dynamics. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com.
Researchers confirmed an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri’s center, supporting theories of its origin as a distinct galaxy core merged with the Milky Way.
Newly identified fast-moving stars in the star cluster Omega Centauri provide solid evidence for a central black hole in the cluster. With at least 8,200 solar masses, it is the best candidate for a class of black holes astronomers have long believed to exist: intermediate-mass black holes, formed in the early stages of galaxy evolution. The discovery bolsters the case for Omega Centauri as the core region of a galaxy that was swallowed by the Milky Way billions of years ago. Stripped of its outer stars, that galaxy nucleus has remained “frozen in time” since then. The study has been published in the journal Nature.
