As a follow on to my previous post, surprisingly strong energy outbursts are consistent with what would be expected if a dimension with the same attributes as the other three is added to Minkowski space. Consistent with the thinking of how quasicrystals formed in red trinitite 50 meters from ground zero at the Trinity nuclear test, 3D space may be opening up into 4D space. This expansion is normal to 3D space. Phenomena we know is generally restricted to 3D space, however tunneling occurs normal to the path of light. Assuming gravity tunnels, more gravity would exist in 4D space. As time is a function of gravity time runs slower in 4D space. Equalizing events discharges energy. This should be in play from the size of the Universe to the Planck scale. The illusion of dark energy may be how 3D space opens up into 4D space. The should be fairly easy to mathematically validate by a mathematician with the right chops.

Are we alone in the universe? This is one of the principal questions for astronomers studying “extrasolar planets”, also known as “exoplanets”. Today, astronomers start addressing one of science and philosophy’s most fundamentally primitive yet unanswered questions. The ramifications and peculiarity of such a possibility would be genuinely multidisciplinary, from a scientific context to social implications. Read more on: https://lnkd.in/deX43G8w

This Week in Space- Apoc-eclipse 2024! - With Astronomer Joe Rao. "Unless you've been living under a rock or in Barstow, you probably know all about the solar eclipse on Monday. Rod will be going to Austin, likely to be staring at ever-darkening clouds, and Tariq will be headed to the eclipse path in the Northeast. Where will you be? On today's episode, we're talking to astronomer and meteorologist Joe Rao about the solar eclipse of 2024--what is it, where the moon's shadow cross Earth, how can you maximize what you see (or don't see), and how to view partial phases safely. This last bit is important, and we're going to give you an earful about "solar safety"--the effects of improper viewing can be catastrophic. And, of course, Rod's bringing a terrible eclipse-oriented space joke! Join us. Headlines: • Chinese Space Debris Sighting: China’s Shenzhou-15 crew capsule’s orbital module made an uncontrolled reentry, lighting up the skies over California without prior warning. • Space Junk Hits a Florida Home: A story of a mysterious cylinder, believed to be part of a NASA battery pallet jettisoned from the ISS, crashing through a Florida man’s home, illustrating the unpredictable nature of space debris re-entry. Main Topic: The Solar Eclipse of 2024 • Introduction to Joe Rao: Introduction of Joe Rao, his background, and his excitement for the upcoming eclipse, his 14th total solar eclipse viewing. • Eclipse Overview: Joe provides an in-depth look at the upcoming solar eclipse, discussing its path across North America, from Mexico through the United States to Canada, and highlighting its significance compared to past eclipses. • Viewing Tips: Discussion on safe viewing practices, including the importance of using certified eclipse glasses and other methods to safely observe the eclipse without damaging one’s eyes. • Weather Considerations: Joe offers advice on how to choose the best viewing locations based on weather patterns and suggests resources for last-minute location adjustments to avoid cloud cover. • Personal Stories and Plans: Tariq shares his plans to view the eclipse with his family, emphasizing the personal significance and communal aspect of experiencing such a rare event. • Final Thoughts and Advice: The episode wraps up with Joe stressing the unparalleled experience of witnessing a total solar eclipse firsthand, urging listeners not to miss the opportunity to be in the path of totality."

This result is amazing! We live in a world where science is making progress in all fields at a much faster rate than at any other point in history. We need to celebrate that! Scientific advancement allows us to answer the universe's deeper questions, and in the process of figuring that out, we develop new, useful technologies. Technologies that could change the world. It's why I love astronomy, because we get to be on the cutting edge of both research, but also technology. To learn more about this discovery in particular, just see the video below!

Scientists are absolutely baffled by this discovery! A recent survey conducted by the Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) in South Africa recently discovered a new binary system containing a millisecond pulsar. The pulsar seemed to have a binary companion that did not emit any optical light, which led astronomers to suspect that the object might be a neutron star or a black hole. But when the mass of the companion was computed, it showed that the object's mass fit right in the middle between both a typical neutron star's mass and a typical low-mass black hole's mass, leaving scientists confused. Astronomers speculate that this discovery may have led to the discovery of the lightest black hole or the heaviest neutron star ever, and has allowed astronomers to probe the mass gap between neutron stars and black holes with this object. As of now, we'll have to wait and see.

Here's a #fascinating bit of #space #news for your Monday -- astronomers have discovered a mysterious celestial body in the Milky Way galaxy! Believed to possibly be a black hole, this unknown object is thought to have the potential to reveal new information about the formation of these supermassive enigmas. However, it might not be a black hole at all... The alternative theory is that, because of its incredible density, it could be a neutron star. With neutron stars being by far one of the densest objects in the universe, it's believed that if a neutron star were to become any more dense, it would become so heavy that it would collapse into a black hole. But what's so unique about this mystery object is that it's simultaneously heavier than the heaviest known neutron star, but lighter than the lightest known black hole! Because of this, scientists will be watching what they're calling the "black hole mass gap" closely as it could be the answer to how black holes are formed! Do you believe that this mystifying entity holds the answers that astronomers have sought for decades... or could it be the discovery of a whole new era of questions?

Largest Black Hole in the Universe is measured. Although it was known by astronomers, its size was just recently measured by scientists working at the Very Large Telescope in Chile, and published on Feb 19, 2024 in Nature. This massive black hole pulls 1 solar mass every single day and it is estimated to be about 17 billion times the size of our Sun. We still know very little about our universe, so we can only wonder what the future holds as we search for some answers to both the fundamental questions in nature, as well as our current most pressing issues here on Earth. https://lnkd.in/gqN9cjmn

Recent findings from the OGLE project challenge the hypothesis black holes constitute a significant portion of dark matter. After 20 years of observation, researchers conclude massive black holes may only account for a small fraction of dark matter, necessitating alternative explanations for these mysterious cosmic phenomena.

Lambda Cold Dark Matter, or ΛCDM, has been for many years the standard cosmology model. However, the multiple contradictions with observations, including the recent pictures taken by the Webb space telescope, are reducing the credibility of the theory, which postulates an undetectable substance called dark matter in a futile effort to explain some anomalies, but not all of them. Alternative models are proposed to explain those anomalies. My favorite is Quantised Inertia, but there are others such as MoND. Now The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) has published a paper proposing an alternative theory to ΛCDM, decoupling gravity from mass.
