Supernovas May Have Triggered Deadly Ancient Climate Shifts, and They Could Happen Again
New research links nearby supernovas to drastic shifts in Earth’s ancient climate. These cosmic explosions may have eroded the ozone layer, triggered global cooling, and even caused mass extinctions. Tree ring data supports the theory, raising concerns that future stellar events, like the expected Betelgeuse explosion, could again pose serious at...

New Theory Challenges Black Hole Singularities, But Critics Raise Red Flags
A new black hole theory proposes a fix to the long-standing singularity paradox by modifying gravity equations. But scientists like Nikodem Poplawski argue that the model lacks observational support and rests on speculative assumptions. He suggests future data from gravitational waves or the cosmic microwave background may one day help us uncover t...

NASA’s Chandra Spots Unexpectedly Strong Jet from Distant Black Hole at Cosmic Noon
NASA’s Chandra telescope has spotted two powerful black hole jets from over 11.6 billion light-years away. Detected during the universe’s cosmic noon, these jets reveal rare high-speed behaviour boosted by Big Bang remnants. The findings, which factor in relativistic effects, shed new light on early black hole growth and will be published in Th...
