We May Have Just Found Evidence of a Cosmic String: a 'Crease' in The Universe

A strange pair of galaxies several billion light-years away could be evidence of a hypothetical 'crease' in the Universe's fabric known as a cosmic string.

According to an analysis of the properties of the pair, the two galaxies may not be distinct objects, but a duplicate image caused by a trick of the light. And the reason the light is duplicated could be because of a scar in the space between us and the galaxy, creating a gravitational lens.

Wait, what?

CERN Physicists Observe Influence of Gravity on Antimatter

“Einstein’s theory of general relativity says antimatter should behave exactly the same as matter,” said Dr. Jonathan Wurtele, a plasma physicist.

“Many indirect measurements indicate that gravity interacts with antimatter as expected, but until the result today, nobody had actually performed a direct observation that could rule out, for example, antihydrogen moving upwards as opposed to downwards in a gravitational field.”

CERN Physicists Observe Influence of Gravity on Antimatter | Sci.News

Physicists from the ALPHA Collaboration at CERN’s Antimatter Factory have demonstrated the existence of gravity between antimatter and Earth, reaffirming Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

Researcher finds way to get audio from still images and silent videos

Kevin Fu, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and computer science has figured out a way to get audio from pictures and even muted videos. Using Side Eye, a machine learning assisted tool that Fu and his research team created, Fu can determine the gender of someone speaking in the room where a photo was taken—and even the exact words they spoke.

Researcher finds way to get audio from still images and silent videos

With video calls becoming more common in the age of remote and hybrid workplaces, "mute yourself" and "I think you're muted" have become part of our everyday vocabularies. But it turns out muting yourself ...

It's Official: For The First Time Neutrinos Have Been Detected in a Collider Experiment

Earlier this year, for the first time, scientists detected neutrinos created in a particle collider.

The researchers said this work represented the first direct observation of collider neutrinos and would help us to understand how these particles form, what their properties are, and their role in the evolution of the Universe.
