Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jul 15, 2024 - Tachyons are hypothetical particles that exceed the speed of light. Often considered the "enfant terrible" of modern physics, these superluminal particles were previously thought to be incompatible with the special theory of relativity. However, a recent paper in Physical Review D by physicists from the University of Warsaw and the University of Oxford reveals that such assumptions were unfounded. Tachyons not only fit within the theory but also enhance our understanding of its causal structure. Читать дальше...
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jul 15, 2024 - A new study suggests that galaxies avoid early demise due to an internal "heart and lungs" system that regulates their "breathing," preventing uncontrolled growth.
Without this mechanism, the Universe would have aged faster, leaving us with enormous "zombie" galaxies filled with dead and dying stars.
