Introduction to AI in Astronomy The Intersection of AI and Astronomy Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an indispensable tool in the field of astronomy, revolutionizing the way researchers analyze and interpret vast amounts of data. The integration of AI into astronomical research allows scientists to sift through enormous datasets generated by sky surveys and […]
astrophysics
Taming Gravity is all about the possibility through science and technology to harness gravity. If we accomplish this we will then have the means to travel to the stars.
Of course, to do this will involve knowledge of astrophysics.
So, here at Taming Gravity we include inspiring news and breakthroughs happening in the field of astrophysics.
We Have The First Direct Evidence of a White Dwarf Violently Ripping Apart a Planet
A white dwarf has finally been observed devouring a planet. This scientific feat was achieved by studying x-ray light emitted from a white dwarf, and this x-ray light formed as a result of a planet colliding into the white dwarf. Past observations of the atmospheres of white dwarves were conducted using spectroscopic analysis, which involves […]
The Expanding Universe: Insights into Cosmic Acceleration
Introduction to Cosmic Acceleration Understanding the Expanding Universe The concept of an expanding universe is fundamental to modern cosmology. It posits that the universe has been growing ever since the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago. This expansion is not like an explosion from a central point but rather a stretching of space […]
Breakthrough in the nonlinear generation of primordial gravitational waves
It has always been hard to measure gravitational waves especially in the beginning of the universe. We have just recently discovered a way to do it. This new breakthrough from China and Japan have discovered old gravitational waves in high energy physics when the universe was born. It was found by a phenomenon and then […]
The Warp and Weft of the Universe: Space-Time Explained
Introduction to the Fabric of the Universe Understanding Space-Time The concept of space-time is fundamental to our understanding of the universe. Introduced by Albert Einstein in his theory of General Relativity, space-time merges the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time into a single, four-dimensional continuum. This framework allows us to […]
Things are getting tense for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, literally
The new James Webb Telescope is the biggest telescope yet. But it has had many problems and delays. At the end of 2021 it was finally released into space to explore the cosmos. Currently, it’s next plan is to unravel the sun shield. That is to protect it from the suns harmful rays. It was […]
This ‘UFO’ rover could hover on the moon and asteroids one day
A new levitating rover is in the works. MIT is currently looking for ways to engineer a new hovercraft that can move without air. Many planets do not have an atmosphere meaning that there is no air on the planet. The team currently working on the concept have it shaped like an circular UFO. After […]
How could the Big Bang arise from nothing?
It is thought by some physicists that both the beginning and end of the universe might be the same thing. A cyclical universe model called “conformal cyclic cosmology” has been proposed by Roger Penrose, the 2020 Nobel Prize-winning physicist. According to this view, the Big Bang came about from nearly nothing at all. The conformal […]
The Echoes of Creation: What the Cosmic Microwave Background Tells Us
Introduction to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) What is the CMB? The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the residual thermal radiation from the Big Bang, the event that marked the beginning of the universe approximately 13.8 billion years ago. This radiation is a faint glow that fills the universe and can be detected in […]
The Quest for FTL: How Close Are We to Faster-Than-Light Travel?
Introduction to Faster-Than-Light (FTL) Travel Defining FTL Travel Faster-Than-Light (FTL) travel refers to the theoretical concept of moving or transmitting information at speeds exceeding that of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second). According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, as an object approaches the speed of […]
