What is the Boltzmann brain?

Can our universe have consciousness? For the first time, this famous question was asked by the famous scientist of the 20th century Ludwig Boltzmann, who suggested that the whole world around us develops according to the laws of entropy or a certain probability of the occurrence of an event. Given the fact that a complex body requires much more time to develop than a simple one, a logical conclusion can be madeContinue Reading

Black holes can interfere with star formation in dwarf galaxies

Since not all of us are fortunate enough to studyastronomy, many may not know how new stars form in galaxies. And this, by the way, is an extremely exciting process. As you know, in any galaxy there is a gas that is compressed by cooling, gradually turning into stars. But gas doesn’t just fall into the galaxies due to the force of gravity, which pulls it into the galacticContinue Reading

Can a planet turn into a star?

As you know, in the solar system there are 8planets, the largest of which is Jupiter, could easily become a star if its mass increased by several percent. Despite the fact that the luminosity of such a star would leave much to be desired, two luminaries could coexist in our solar system at once. It is worth noting that such “understars” make up a largeContinue Reading

Can we find life on the exolone?

The discovery of a new exoplanet today is no longeris important news. Almost 25 years have passed since the discovery of the first planet outside the solar system, during which more than 4,000 planets were revolved around alien stars. At the same time, scientists are sure that in our galaxy there are even more planets than stars, and given that most of theseContinue Reading

New images of the mysterious comet Borisov received

Recently, a comet visited our solar system,hailing from another part of the galaxy. At the end of August, amateur astronomer Gennady Borisov noticed an object moving through the sky. Subsequent observations showed that the speed and trajectory of the object indicate its origin outside the solar system. Currently, Borisov’s comet is the second interstellar guest after the Oumuamua comet. Study published inContinue Reading

On the ISS found bacteria that are not afraid of antibiotics

The human body is replete with diversebacteria - you can’t completely get rid of them, even using the most powerful sterilization methods. Consequently, bacteria in any case will live even in the cleanest and most actively protected premises, like the board of the International Space Station. During the next inspection of the ISS, the researchers found that on its board live rod-shaped Enterobacter bacteria, which are not onlyContinue Reading
