The Einstein-De Sitter Model: An article published in EPJ H (European Bulletin of Physics H) was the first English translation and analysis of Albert Einstein's article "On the cosmological problem of the general theory of relativity." This article, published in 1931, contradicts Einstein's earlier static model of the universe. In this cosmological model, the universe begins to expand again after a period of contraction, which Einstein-de Sitter […]
Ever since Hawking proposed this new black hole theory, we've been waking up and going to bed with news of black holes (at least for me). After I tried to understand Hawking's paper, news of interpretations started pouring in everywhere (I guess they said Erhan should comment on it and then we could benefit from it, hehe—yes, I'm giving you a little ego boost […]
ESO’s New Technology Telescope (NTT) has provided the first evidence of the highly variable interiors of asteroids. Using sensitive observations, astronomers have discovered that different regions on the asteroid Itokawa have different densities. The findings not only unlock mysteries surrounding the formation of asteroids but also contribute to understanding what lies beneath their surfaces and their relationship with objects within the Solar System.
By now, you know the Big Bang theory, something even the most indifferent has heard of. It's a well-known theory. But let's emphasize, it's a theory. That is, there's evidence to support it, but there are also things it can't explain. There are also things that contradict it. But because it's the best theory available, it's always in the spotlight. But that doesn't mean it can't be refuted. There are alternatives to the Big Bang […]
This evening (actually, just a moment ago), I was reading the RSS feeds of my scientific sources again. When I saw images I might like, I was pinning them on my Pinterest account. On a site I sometimes attack (those who know me know that if I see misinformation, I attack anyone), but which generally has good content, I saw a headline that went like this: “What Would Happen If the Moon Split in Two?” Someone asked them […]
There are no black holes? Black hole theory has been turned upside down. Stuff like this was going on everywhere, and from what I could tell, because they couldn't understand Hawking, they were implicitly claiming that matter entering a black hole was being released back into the universe in a form of energy we couldn't otherwise comprehend. Then they repeated the same thing like a broken record. Seeing that they weren't going to do anything, I decided I'd better get lost and […]
