Written by: Maneth Perera In 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope took the first Deep Field images. Many astronomers doubted its ability to look for new space objects; to prove them wrong, NASA researchers pointed the telescope at the most barren, darkest part of the night
Written by: Atharv Kanchi The concept of duality can be defined in two different ways. Formally, duality is defined as relating mathematical concepts in a one-to-one relationship through something called involution: if A is B, then B is A. In standard terms, duality is when
Introduction: Merging supermassive black holes (SMBHs) represent some of the most extraordinary phenomena in the universe, showcasing the immense power and complexity of astrophysical dynamics. At the core of many galaxies, SMBHs wield gravitational forces that have the capability to shape their cosmic
Written by: Maneth Perera Everyday, new evidence regarding the structure of our universe is uncovered, leading to researchers revising mathematical models over decades to perfectly describe their observations. The widely accepted foundational model of our universe is called the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (CDM)
Written by: Jonathan Handjojo Imagine a single framework that would be capable of explaining everything in the universe, a theory that ties together everything from the smallest quarks to the vast galaxies, bridging the laws of physics. This idea, often referred to as the “Theory
