Cosmic time warp revealed in slow-motion supernovae Posted: 6 months ago by AutumnLotus
Once upon a time, time was different. Supernova explosions in the early universe appear to age more slowly than today's supernovae, as if time itself was running slower back then, according to a recent series of astronomical observations. This cosmic time warp is exactly what should be produced by the expansion of the universe, confirming conventional big bang theory.

Surfing faster than the speed of light Posted: 2 months ago by AutumnLotus
Future generations could be travelling across the universe faster than the speed of light, without breaking any astronomical road rules, by manipulating extra dimensions of space and time, according to two US physicists.

Why Time Seems to Slow Down in Emergencies Posted: 10 months ago by AutumnLotus
In The Matrix, the hero Neo could dodge bullets because time moved in slow motion for him during battles. Indeed, in the real world, people in danger often feel as if time slowed down for them. This warping of time apparently does not result from the brain speeding up from adrenaline when in danger. Instead, this feeling seems to be an illusion, scientists now find.

NASA and the Hindu concept of Time Posted: 11 months ago by AutumnLotus
Two NASA scientists put forward a new model to explain how the cosmos is and where it might be going. They say it is necessary to take account of startling recent discoveries such as the observation that everything in the Universe is moving apart at an accelerating rate. Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok propose that the cosmos goes through an endless cycle - of Big Bang, expansion and stagnation - driven by an as yet unexplained "dark energy".

BBC Horizon - Time Trip (Time Travel Documentary) Posted: 2 years ago by shredtone
According to Professor Paul Davies "Scientists have no doubt whatever that it is possible to build a time machine to visit the future". Since the publication of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity in 1905, few, if any, scientists would dispute that time travel to the future is perfectly possible.

Does time have TWO dimensions? Posted: 1 year ago by DrNothing
Time is no longer a simple line from the past to the future, in a four dimensional world consisting of three dimensions of space and one of time. Instead, Roger Highfield envisages the passage of history as curves embedded in a six dimensionals, with four of space and two of time.

It All Began with an End – New Theory on Origin and Future of the Universe Posted: 12 months ago by AutumnLotus
The universe’s clock has neither a start nor finish, yet time is finite according to a New Zealand theorist. The theory, which tackles the age-old mystery of the origin of the universe, along with several other problems and paradoxes in cosmology, calls for a new take on our concept of time.

Mystery Probed in Record-Setting Cosmic Explosion Posted: 11 months ago by AutumnLotus
Last September, a supernova burst into a cosmic flame 100 times more intense than any event on record—and left scientists scratching their heads. Now, two new studies attempt to explain the remarkable explosion. One sets up the explosion with a cannibalistic star, while the other describes how colliding layers of jettisoned gas could outshine all other supernovae.
