Astronomers Find Evidence That Black Holes May Be the Source of Dark Energy

Astronomers Find Evidence , That Black Holes May Be the Source , of Dark Energy. Space.com reports that a team of 17 international researchers led by the University of Hawaii have discovered the first evidence of the source of dark energy. According to the team, dark energy may originate in black holes. . Researchers suggest that older black holes are acquiring mass through a form of dark energy known as "vacuum energy.". According to the team, vacuum energy is , "a kind of energy included in spacetime itself ... [that] pushes the universe further apart, accelerating the expansion." . If the theory holds, then this is going to revolutionize the whole of cosmology, , Dr. Chris Pearson, STFC RAL Space, Co-author of the study, via Space.com. ... because at last we've got a solution for the origin of dark energy that's been perplexing cosmologists and theoretical physicists for more than 20 years. , Dr. Chris Pearson, STFC RAL Space, Co-author of the study, via Space.com. Space.com reports that this is the first time that astronomers have obtained observational data to support the theory, which was first proposed by Einstein. We're really saying two things at once: That there's evidence the typical black hole solutions don't work for you on a long, long timescale, and we have the first proposed astrophysical source for dark energy, Duncan Farrah, University of Hawaii astronomer, study author, via Space.com. The team's results were published in 'The Astrophysical Journal Letters' on February 15

Scientists Are Stunned as a Piece of the Sun Breaks Off

Scientists Are Stunned , as a Piece of the Sun Breaks Off. 'New York Post' reports that scientists were recently baffled after watching material break off of the Sun's surface. . The remarkable phenomenon, which created a tornado-like swirl around the Sun's northern pole, was captured by NASA on the James Webb Space Telescope. Material from a northern prominence just broke away from the main filament & is now circulating in a massive polar vortex around the north pole of our Star, Dr. Tamitha Skov, space weather forecaster, via Twitter. Material from a northern prominence just broke away from the main filament & is now circulating in a massive polar vortex around the north pole of our Star, Dr. Tamitha Skov, space weather forecaster, via Twitter. 'New York Post' reports that a prominence is a large, bright feature that extends out from the surface of the Sun. . According to Scott McIntosh, the deputy director at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, researchers do not know the cause of the unique event. Once every solar cycle, it forms at the 55-degree latitude and it starts to march up to the solar poles. It’s very curious. There is a big ‘why’ question around it. , Scott McIntosh, deputy director at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, via 'New York Post'. Why does it only move toward the pole one time and then disappear and then come back, magically, three or four years later in exactly the same region?, Scott McIntosh, deputy director at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, via 'New York Post'. 'New York Post' reports that some experts suggest it has something to do with the Sun's magnetic field. Solar projections can disrupt GPS systems, power grids and even radio signals. According to Space.com, the Sun has already shot multiple "powerful" flares at the Earth this month as it approaches peak activity for its current 11-year cycle in 2025

How would Manipur's withdrawal from 'Suspension of Operation' shape up? | Explainer | Oneindia News

Few days back, the BJP-backed Manipur government had decided to withdraw from an agreement with two tribal militant groups, alleging that they were “influencing agitation among forest encroachers”. This withdrawal was from the tripartite Suspension of Operation agreement between the Government of India, the Manipur government, and the two umbrella groups of Kuki militants…which are the Kuki National Army and Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA). The revocation of this agreement has now raised several questions as Home minister Amit Shah, ahead of the last year’s assembly elections, had promised to “solve” the Kuki issue if the BJP was voted to power. After this, the Kuki groups had officially announced their support for the BJP. In this video, we take a look at this so called Suspension of Operation agreement…and briefly trace the roots of the Kuki insurgency.
