Two methods of measuring the neutron’s longevity give different answers, creating uncertainty in cosmological models. But no one has a clue what the problem is. https://media.wired.com/photos/5a87753bdd6c1e49e4da9f4c/master/pass/quanta_N_savage_021218_centered.jpg
Published time: 24 Dec, 2017 09:36 A collapse of two neutron stars, which made headlines this year as the first-ever observation of gravitational waves confirmed by other signals, left behind a black hole, further study has revealed. The GW170817 event reported by scientists of LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) earlier this year is considered one […]
The core of a neutron star is such an extreme environment that physicists can’t agree on what happens inside. But a new space-based experiment—and a few more colliding neutron stars—should reveal whether neutrons themselves break down. https://media.wired.com/photos/59f7a4ab5d3b1d641070f0cc/master/pass/NeutronStar_2880x1620-2880×1620.jpg Feed: All Latest
Enlarge / Neutron star mergers, the slayers of zombies. (credit: NASA) Theoreticians claim to love data. Data is the thing that allows them to test their theories and prove that they are right. Unfortunately for them, the data often doesn’t support the theory. In those cases, the data has just stabbed your labor of love right in […]
For the first time in human history and modern science, researchers have detected ripples in spacetime produced by the violent impact of two dense neutron stars https://media.wired.com/photos/59e928ddd2577437c102fc91/master/pass/SPoW_Oct16_2017_06.jpg Feed: All Latest
Scientists detected their fifth gravitational wave in August, and announced it today. But keeping the discoveries quiet is getting harder and harder. https://media.wired.com/photos/59e1221af7aca336d0f37965/master/pass/GravitationalWaves-694234668.jpg Feed: All Latest
Even as the solar eclipse was mesmerizing millions, astronomers were training their space- and land-based telescopes on a far more violent astrophysical event. https://media.wired.com/photos/59a05839756fe254e40aba04/master/pass/NeutronStarMerger_1300lede.jpg Feed: All Latest
Enlarge (credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center) Immediately after the Big Bang, the Universe’s matter was incredibly dense and rippled with random fluctuations. Is it possible that some portions of it reached densities high enough to collapse into black holes? The idea of primordial black holes has been kicking around in theoretical circles for a […]
