The aviator was captured alive and sentenced to 10 years in prison, while the remains of the fuselage were displayed in public. That was called the U2 incident, after the name of the spy plane that Powers piloted, … Read more
“To stabilize it in our simulations, we had to add dark matter.” “In the early 1980s, I was studying the dynamics of galaxies. We were then moving from analytical calculations to the first numerical simulations to describe their shapes. These two-dimensional space simulations resulted in barred galaxies [les bras spiraux de la galaxie émergent aux … Read more
Astronomers used an impact predicted by Albert Einstein to seize top-of-the-line photographs of a quasar. The Webb Area Telescope used gravitational lensing to seize a surprising picture of the quasar RX J1131-1231, which is about 6 billion light-years away. Astronomers name this picture top-of-the-line photographs of quasars taken utilizing gravitational lensing. In the meantime, the … Read more

Jakarta – J. Robert Oppenheimer is widely known in history as the father of the atomic bomb. But before the label was pinned, he had a work that was stronger than the atomic bomb made by the Manhattan Project he led, a black hole or black hole. In a 1939 paper, Oppenheimer, then a particle … Read more
It is believed that the universe appeared as a result of the Big Bang, but some physicists are not so sure about the firmness of this statement. Why does the universe exist? How did it really start? What happened before the Big Bang? Theoretical physicists continue to seek answers to these questions. For example, Stephon … Read more
Jakarta – On August 2, 1939, German physicist Albert Einstein wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This was one month before Germany invaded Poland, and two years before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The letter, mentioned in the recently released Oppenheimer Christopher Nolan film, set off a chain reaction that produced the Manhattan … Read more
Jakarta – Legendary physicist Albert Einstein died of a stomach aneurysm at the age of 76 on April 18, 1955. His body was cremated and the ashes scattered at an undisclosed location. However, part of his brain was not cremated. Until finally, Princeton hospital pathologist named Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed Einstein’s brain from his body, … Read more
