Sagittarius A* Super Massive Black Hole Monster at Centre of Our Galaxy REVEALED! / Personal_Finance / Science
By: Eliza_Walayat
Sagittarius A* the super massive black hole at the centre of our galaxy is finally revealed more than three years after the release of the first-ever image of a black hole, scientists from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) shared an image of Sagittarius A* at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy.
“It is a dream that comes true after decades of work,” said Heino Falcke, an astrophysicist at Radboud University in the Netherlands. “I always knew this day would come, but I never expected it to be so clear and impressive right away.”

The Big Bang Explained - How the Universe Began and How it will End - Video / Politics / Science
By: Anika_Walayat
In this educational video I explain how the universe began with the Big Bang, how this was discovered by Edwin Hubble and what it means for the future End of the universe.
This video is especially suitable for children, and forms the first part of series of science & learning videos.

Peak Evolution - Benefits Culture, Shrinking Brains, Are Human's De-Evolving? / Politics / Science
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The spark for insights into arriving at final trend conclusions for financial markets and economic indicators can originate far removed from the technical studies of markets i.e. as a consequence of focusing on the key mega-trends, and none is more mega than that for the evolutionary trend of the human species and the probable direction that it is likely to trend towards, which is the focus of this article.

Capitalism, A Norwegian Rat And Some Cockroaches / Politics / Science
By: Raul_I_Meijer
Often, for some reason, when you want to make a simple point, before you know it it mushrooms into something much bigger. Like in this case, blasphemy. All I started out with was the notion that if we put a dollar value on something like an Arctic melt, or the extinction of species, we are making fundamental mistakes. Which invariably show in the way we reach the conclusions, presented as "scientific", that make us put such values on potential or already final events.

Colours of Sound and Light: Energy, Frequency and Vibration / Politics / Science
By: DK_Matai
One of history's greatest engineers Nikola Tesla, who invented the means to transfer and to distribute electricity over long distances, once said, "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." The same holds true for the world in which we live, our interactions with each other, and indeed our interactions within.

Large Scale Quantum Entanglement, Atom Smasher Creates New Kind of 'Spooky' Matter / Politics / Science
By: DK_Matai
High speed collisions between sub-atomic particles inside the Large Hadron Collider atom smasher appear to have unexpectedly created what looks like a new form of matter! Every time we look deeply at the macro- or micro- universe with the idea that it is under constant construction and holds wonders beyond human imagining... we find them. Scientists may have accidentally discovered a new type of "Spooky" matter in which particles seemingly interact at a distance without any direct connection with each other. This new kind of matter is called "Colour-Glass Condensate" and it is a liquid-like wave of "Gluons" which are elementary particles related to the strong force that glues quarks together inside protons and neutrons. The elusive Higgs boson dubbed the "God Particle" was also discovered earlier this year at the same facilities within the European Organisation for Nuclear Research or CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.

Quantum Entanglement -- Beyond Cause and Effect -- Towards the Future? / Politics / Science
By: DK_Matai
Faster Than the Speed of Light
Quantum Entanglement is at the heart of understanding how significant events across the universe operate at the macro- and micro- level in split-second synchronised unison despite considerable distance between them. Quantum Entanglement suggests that information is exchanged faster between Quantum Entangled (QE) particles than the speed of light, which was deemed impossible per Einstein's special theory of relativity.
