Record-Breaking Black Hole Merger Challenges Existing Models
On November 23, 2023, US-based gravitational wave detectors observed the merger of two black holes, each over 100 times the sun's mass, 10 billion light-years away, creating a black hole of approximately 265 solar masses—the most massive ever recorded—forcing a re-evaluation of black hole formation ...

MIT Study Debunks Common Assumption: Horizontally Dropped Eggs Break Less Often
An MIT study involving 180 dropped eggs reveals that eggs are significantly less likely to break when dropped horizontally than vertically, challenging common assumptions found in educational materials and highlighting the confusion between stiffness and toughness.

Gravity's Pull: Minuscule Attraction Between People and Weight Variations Across Earth
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation calculates the minuscule gravitational attraction between two 70kg people as 3.27 x 10^-7 Newtons; however, weight varies slightly across Earth due to rotation, geological composition, and distance from the core, with a 0.3% difference observed between the North...

Time Travel: Fact and Fiction
Einstein's theory of relativity proves time travel is possible as travelling faster than one second per second; experiments like the Hafele-Keating experiment and the time discrepancies experienced by astronauts on the ISS confirm this, while backward time travel remains theoretical.
