As part of its relativity theory, the renowned physicist Albert Einstein helped to establish the concept of space-time. Before his pioneering work, scientists had two different theories to explain physical phenomena: The physics laws of Isaac Newton described the motion of large objects, while the electromagnetic models of James Clerk Maxwell explained the properties of light, according to NASA.
WASHINGTON, U.S. and European scientists are teaming up to study one of the universe’s most elusive secrets — mysterious “gravity waves” that result when enormous objects collide in space. What they learn could shed new light on an old concept, that collisions between galaxies or stars create waves of gravity just as explosions produce bursts …
Astronomy was of interest to Kepler from an early age, but smallpox transferred in childhood hit the future scientist’s eyes hard and seriously limited him in his ability to independently conduct observations. However, interest in science has not been lost. While studying at the university in Tübingen, Kepler got acquainted with the heliocentric system of …
The development of computer technology has helped bring the modelling of the evolution of our universe to a qualitatively new level. Scientists received new information about the influence of black holes on the distribution of dark matter, learned more about the formation and propagation of heavy elements in space, as well as about the origin …

Processing scientific data requires enormous power, but the number of supercomputers available is very limited. However, a significant part of the calculations can be broken down into small tasks that a home computer can handle. The BOINC project is a complex of programs designed to organize distributed computing.It was originally created in 2002 for the …
HOW DID THE UNIVERSE BEGIN?
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
ARE WE ALONE?
The skeleton is one of the most important human systems that maintains the standing position of the body against the force of gravity. The human skeleton naturally develops in the gravitational field of an earth, and its bony structure is designed to withstand the forces acting on it. The outer layer of bone is called …

Frank Derekis director of the Carl Sagan Center at SETI Institute, located in California, USA, where he was the founder of the Esma project, in which they listened to two stars, Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani, following radio waves emitted from extraterrestrial intelligent organisms. The two stars are approximately 12 light-years from Earth and are approximately the same …
All the controversy ended and all the wars and quarrels between astronomers over whether or not a number of Kuiper belt objects were planets were over. Pluto was removed from the list of planets by a new criterion presented at the meeting of the International Astronomical Society. Pluto is a distant object that has been …

Wandering mines All the rock objects in the solar system are made up of a single rotating mass belonging to when the sun was a baby star. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and asteroids orbiting Mars and Jupiter all have the same origin, so they are expected to have almost the same mineral composition. This issue of …
Before addressing the history and philosophy of animal travel in space, we have to go a little back to the age of space and when humankind had not yet fulfilled its ambition to fly. Curiosity is part of the unchangeable nature of humankind placed in it as a gift. This is why human beings are …
