"The latest experiment has just provided hard evidence that these so-called virtual particles are very real and are key to understanding what empty space truly is. "

"If you try to pull it out of the embrace of its companions, using, for example, enormous energy, nature will do something amazing. Instead of allowing you to isolate a quark, the energy you put into stretching this string will become so great that the string will simply break, and at the point of breakage, the energy will transform into a new particle-antiparticle pair. "

"In this experiment, spin was key because it allowed scientists to trace the history of particle creation. It turned out that the spins of lambda particle pairs are correlated. "

"The mathematics behind virtual particles agrees because their presence affects measurable phenomena. Such an example could be a subtle change in the electric field around an atomic nucleus, which scientists can measure with great precision. or for example the Casimir effect, where the pressure of these seemingly non-existent virtual particles causes two plates to come together. "

"We assume they are composed. Each of them consists of three quarks, but in reality, these three quarks or these two protons are some kind of energies. At the moment we collide them, it's not that suddenly six quarks are formed and they wonder, 'okay, we here, we here and fly away,' instead, energy is created, from which something completely different condenses. "

"fermions are particles, indivisible particles, that our world consists of composite particles of quarks, but additionally we also have electrons, we have corresponding neutrinos and these electrons, muons, taus, yes, with other neutrinos respectively electron, muon and tau neutrinos, and on the other hand also three families of quarks, which form such pairs and from which these families of quarks are built mesons and particles such as hadrons, right? "

"The mission proved highly successful. The collision shortened Dimorphos's orbit around Didymos by 32 minutes. Since then, astronomers have continued monitoring the asteroid system, gathering nearly 6,000 observations. These measurements show that the pair's overall orbit around the Sun slowed by about 11.7 micrometres per second—roughly 40 millimetres per hour—reducing the radius of their orbit by an estimated 360 metres. "

"Nowadays, we already know well, thanks to this experiment among others, that we do not need to construct gigantic atomic bombs straight out of old science fiction movies to deal with such asteroids. We only need precise equipment, great mathematics, and a precisely timed kinetic nudge of a mass, which over many years will naturally grow into a powerful and civilization-saving change in its entire flight path. "

"The true goal is a subtle but lasting change in the velocity of the cosmic rock. Just a fraction of a millimeter/ounce of velocity change today, summed over years of uninterrupted flight in vacuum, will translate into tens of thousands of kilometers of shift in its orbit after several decades. "

"This was the first full-scale test in history of planetary defense technology, which was supposed to prepare us for the worst-case scenarios. "

"The American space agency NASA, as part of the historic mission named DART, decided to deliberately and with full premeditation crash a speeding spacecraft into the surface of a distant asteroid. However, the purpose of this endeavor was absolutely not some blind destruction or, I don't know, causing cosmic fireworks. The intention of the scientists was to rigorously test the so-called kinetic impact method in real conditions. "

"The American agency NASA literally hit an asteroid, and the physical and astronomical consequences of this event turned out to be much more spectacular, groundbreaking, and instructive than anyone initially assumed. "

"When the DART probe, accelerated to enormous speed, hit the surface of Dimorphos directly, it not only crushed itself and embedded into the rock, giving up its energy, but also blasted a powerful crater into space and a lot of matter with enormous force. It ejected over a million kilograms of debris and various ore, as I'll call it, which simply fell out of this moonlet. "

"Using the powerful radio antennas of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, researchers detected extremely strong signals of methanol, a simple alcohol molecule, in the expanding cloud of gas of the comet with the chemical formula CH3OH. "

"Among other discoveries, scientists confirmed that this interstellar comet is the fastest ever recorded, and is covered with ice volcanoes. "

"“In the spirit of the season, the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is changing color as it leaves the sun behind — shifting from a reddish tint to a faint green glow. That visible change signals the comet is reacting to solar heat and releasing new gases in space, giving scientists fresh clues about what it is made of and how it behaves.” "

"Measurements show that methanol occurs in significantly larger quantities compared to hydrogen cyanide than astronomers usually observe in comets from our solar system. And this is another differentiating element, meaning Atlas, from comets that originate in the solar system. "

"Here, it's also important in the context of whether Atlas developed this crust, thanks to which it didn't lose mass. And this comet, because normally if it were flying and was such an uncovered ice, it shouldn't even fully reach our solar system, if we estimate its age correctly, of course, because it would have evaporated anyway, even by being in this interstellar medium. However, my dear friends, thanks to this crust, which was much less penetrable by radiation, it could travel safely and reach the solar system. Well, that's the hypothesis. Of course, we don't know 100% if this mechanism worked, but this one seems the most sensible, because we know that such crusts form and are present. "

"The next launch of a rocket from a repaired launch pad is scheduled for March 22. Soyuz 2 will carry the Progress MS33 supply capsule with supplies for space station astronauts into space. "

"The project is set to significantly conquer these known and observable radio sources from 2 million up to a gigantic 70 million. "

"In a singularity, space and time come to an end, and with them, absolutely everything ends. When a particle falls into a black hole and hits the singularity, its quantum state is erased from existence. It simply disappears. And that is why black holes can destroy information, or at least seem to be able to destroy information, and that is why they are considered to be completely incompatible with quantum physics, which simply does not allow for this. "

"This is the oldest light in the universe, a faint microwave echo left by the Big Bang. By observing the cosmic background radiation, we are looking at a map of matter density just 380,000 years after the cosmos was formed. According to this new hypothesis or theory, we should also see a certain asymmetry in the pattern of cosmic background radiation. And most interestingly, physicists emphasize that the predictions of their model actually fit our current observations of the cosmos. "

"at the fourth level, it talks about the ability to manipulate individual atoms to create nano nanotechnological structures at the atomic level. Mhm. Look, we are actually able to manipulate individual atoms, because we are able, and we were able a long time ago, to make the IBM logo out of individual atoms or create a stop-motion film of a boy with a ball, where by moving individual atoms, I think carbon atoms, on that substrate, it was something, something heavier, you know, or something like that. "

"Type three minus is capable of manipulating molecules and molecular bonds. This means we are already at this level, because we can break DNA chains and attach new ones to them. Of course, we don't take scissors and cut, but almost, we use enzymatic scissors that are able to, well, CRISPR-Cas9, those are such scissors, we are already able to very precisely insert and remove various things. "

"The team used a technique that can be compared to cosmic archaeology. They dug through data from two sky surveys, separated by a technological and temporal gap. The first source was the IRAS satellite, Infrared Astronomical Satellite, launched in 1983. It was an absolute legend. The first telescope that mapped the entire sky in infrared, working above the atmosphere, which normally blocks this radiation. Its sensors were cooled with liquid helium to a temperature of just 2.5 degrees above absolute zero. Thanks to this, IRAS registered 350,000 infrared sources. The second element of this puzzle was the Japanese satellite Akari, which means light in Japanese. It operated in 2006 and had much better resolution. So we have two datasets separated by 23 years, and this is where the real detective work begins. "

"Ultimately, from one tera per hour, we are left with several gigabytes per hour, right? So, several hundred times smaller volume is written to disk, and that's our thing, and it's the same with other instruments. "

"One such galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0 (shown in the pullout), was determined to be at a redshift of 14.32 (+0.08/-0.20), making it the current record-holder for the most distant known galaxy. This corresponds to a time less than 300 million years after the big bang. "

"We have an exoplanet candidate in the Alpha Centauri A system. A Saturn-sized gas giant orbiting in the habitable zone. It itself probably wouldn't sustain life, but its presence suggests there might also be smaller, rocky worlds and their moons. "

"Webb's observations also confirmed that comet 3I/ATLAS remains unusually rich in carbon dioxide, releasing far more carbon dioxide relative to water when compared to typical solar system comets. Both these findings point to a very different formation environment and chemistry than the vast majority of comets that formed within our solar system. "

"The James Webb Telescope is changing the rules of the game in star birth research. In the Sharpless 2284 region, Webb observed a protostar with a mass of 10 suns, which in the process of formation shoots out powerful gas jets, creating Herbig-Haro objects. These are narrow streams of matter moving at hundreds of kilometers per second, which collide with the surrounding gas and dust, creating bright shock waves. "

"NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first direct measurements of the chemical and physical properties of a potential moon-forming disk encircling a large exoplanet. The carbon-rich disk surrounding the world called CT Cha b, which is located 625 light-years away from Earth, is a possible construction yard for moons, although no moons are detected in the Webb data. The young star the planet orbits is only 2 million years old and still accreting circumstellar material. "
