    Black holes Holes
AI Thread Summary
There are two main types of black holes: stellar mass black holes formed from dying massive stars and supermassive black holes found at galaxy centers. Recent proposals suggest the existence of miniature black holes, which could potentially be created in particle accelerators like the LHC. The successful creation of such black holes at the LHC could significantly impact the search for Quantum Gravity. The discussion highlights the implications of these findings for our understanding of black holes and fundamental physics. This exploration into miniature black holes opens new avenues for research in theoretical physics.

In general there are two type of black holes:
1. Stellar mass black holes:- when a massive star dies
2. Supermassive black holes:- at the center of galaxies.

Now it has been proposed that black holes of infinitesimal size also exit, moreover, we can produce them at particle accelerators like LHS.

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
