Black Holes May Be Frozen in Time

According to the results of an interesting new analysis, it would appear that black hole may exist in a type of space-time-defined space that is independent of time itself. This type of environment, in which time is essentially frozen still, is called the Kerr spacetime. The same study shows that this is the end s...

Pure Chaos Followed the Big Bang

According to a new series of scientific studies, it would appear that the Bing Bang, the moment that exploded the Universe into existence, was followed shortly after by a moment of pure chaos.The term chaos is used here in its scientific sense. While one may expect that the Universe was not a very ordered place in th...

Boltzmann Equation Finally Solved

Two experts at the University of Pennsylvania Department of Mathematics announce that they were able to solve a 140-year-old equation. The two professors, Philip T. Gressman and Robert M. Strain, explain in the latest issue of the esteemed publication Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that they w...

Century-Old Equation Tested

Researchers at the Rice University have recently conducted a series of tests on an elegant set of equations that was developed around 1908 by German physicist Gustav Mie. What the formulas do is basically predict the interaction of electromagnetic waves with a spherical metal particle. The predictions are so precise ...

New Equations for Modeling the Big Bang

In spite of the fact that today's supercomputers are highly advanced and capable of billions of operations per second, they still have difficulties in handling complex tasks such as modeling the Big Bang. However, this line of research is absolutely fundamental to understanding our place and origin in the Univer...

Assessing the Correct Water Requirements for Soldiers

For a long time, the United States military has been in doubt over how to most efficiently distribute water to its soldiers when they set out on two- or three-day missions. The solution they came up with in 1982 is called the Shapiro equation and has been used to this day to calculate just how much water a military m...

Dinosaurs Were Actually Smaller than First Believed

New measurements and estimates of how dinosaurs looked like show that the largest animals in history may have not been as large as researchers first made them to be. Biologists from the George Mason University, in Virginia, led by Geoffrey Birchard, devised a new equation of calculating dinosaurs' weight based s...

Learn Math by Gesturing

Researchers have recently learned that employing gestures when explaining mathematical concepts can be very helpful at times, especially for little kids. And they are useful not only because they are fun and so on, but because they offer a totally new way of understanding the concepts involved. The new technique make...

Moebius Strip Riddle Solved at Last

The Moebius strip is a mathematical phenomenon that has become a painting symbol after being made famous by the Dutch artist M.C. Escher. It is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component and has some unusual properties.Easy to create, it is the result of a half-twist applied to a paper strip, whose...
