New Theory Suggests We’ve Been Wrong About Black Holes for 60 Years
How confusing inevitability with reality built decades of paradox. What if general relativity never actually tells us that black holes already exist, but only that their formation is inevitable in an ...

Two Indian astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered Alaknanda, a fully formed spiral galaxy resembling the Milky Way that existed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, defying theories that such mature structures could not form so early in cosmic history.

Researchers discovered that two bacteria working together—Sporosarcina pasteurii and Chroococcidiopsis—can transform Martian soil into concrete-like building materials through a natural process called biocementation that produces calcium carbonate at room temperature. Good? Bad? Destructive?
