Cosmic flares shot from exploding black holes could provide long-sought proof of extra spatial dimensions, new calculations suggest. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes evaporate through a quantum process known as "Hawking evaporation" and can explode in brief bursts of energy before vanishing completely. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Exploding stars that light the way for research on dark energy aren’t as powerful or bright, on average, as they once were, says a new study by University of Toronto astronomers. The study, which compared supernovae in nearby galaxies with those that exploded up to nine billion light years away in the distant universe, found the distant supernovae were an average of 12 per cent brighter. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago
