What is Events: Definition and 356 Discussions

This is a list of events held and scheduled by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a mixed martial arts promotion based in the United States. UFC's first event, UFC 1, took place on November 12, 1993. Each UFC event contains several fights. Traditionally, every event starts off with a preliminary card followed by a main card, with the last fight being known as the main event.

    A Where to Find the Best Records of Past Supernova Events

    I attended an interesting talk the other day about supernova archeology, and the discovery of strong evidence that Earth was showered with debris from a nearby supernova ~60-300 light years, about 2 to 3 Mya. The evidence is the presence of 60Fe in deep ocean crust at multiple sites, as well as...

    I Confusion about Simultaneous Events in Relativity

    In Lee Smolins book Time Reborn he discusses simultaneous events and says events that are far from each other we find that there is no absolute ordering that all observers can agree on. For some observers the two events may be simultaneous for other observers one event may be in the past of the...

    I Two gravitational events might be a single lensed one

    It has been proposed that the gravitational wave events GW170809 and GW170814 , named after their date (5 days difference) were actually a single one which appeared twice and magnified due to gravitational lensing. Both events have very similar parameters and come from the same area in the sky...
