These are just the whole host of compounds we make. We found many of these compounds are very interesting because they play roles in life on earth. So, its clear we were making many the building blocks of life by these very processes that happened in...
Even for NASA nebulae are too far away to visit, so they've built one of their own here on earth, 40 years ago scientists peered into the clouds of dust and gas created from the remains of stars, and to their surprise, found not just elements but org...
Scientists call it the Big Bang and it was predicted by the very same equations that discovered black holes.There is the Big Bang theory, according to which the universe began with a gigantic fireball on creation day, some 10,000 million years ago. I...
The evidence suggested that billions of tons of matter from a massive star had shrunk to nothing.So what we are left with here is this mind-boggling idea of mass contained in zero volume, and that just make your head spin, but that's what we call a b...
It remains to some extent a theory, but Doug has got as close as anyone to actually seeing it happen.It's started by getting alert on the computer that a supernova had gone off in a very nearby galaxy, only 210 million light years away, here is a pic...
There were apparently nonsensical structures of space and time, spat out when Albert Einstein's equations weretaken to their extreme conclusion. Einstein's theory of relativitydoes lead us into very strange and unfamiliar paths. Einstein himself didn...
And became billions of times stronger than our sun's, now as the star span, it channelled out radio signals from its north and south poles, signals that swept past earth with every rotation of the star, this was the source of the mysterious pulses, s...
The calculations focus on a strange quality of all matter. It's one that defies common sense. But it's fundamental to the work of Astrophysicists like professor Douglas Leonard. Solidity is an illusion. If I run up with my fist and punch a burg wall,...
Could these be the neutron stars predicted by Z? astronomers nicknamed them pulsars and immediately set their telescopes searching for further clues about them, just a year later, they found one, in the perfect place to put Z's theory to the test.In...
He was sure that when a supernova exploded, it left behind a kernel so dense that a cupful would be as heavy as a mountain, he called it a neutron star, it seems so preposterous that Z's ideas were dismissed, until that is a new way of scouring the h...
