In a new paper that has yet to be peer-reviewed, the physicists propose that our universe is dominated by tachyons — a hypothetical kind of particle that always moves faster than light. Tachyons almost certainly don't exist; going faster than light violates everything we know about the causal flow of time from past to future. But the hypothetical particles are still interesting to physicists because of the small chance that even our most closely held notions, like causality, might be wrong.
Capturing the ripples of spacetime: LISA gets go-ahead
Today, ESA’s Science Programme Committee approved the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space.
This important step, formally called ‘adoption’, recognises that the mission concept and technology are sufficiently advanced, and gives the go-ahead to build the instruments and spacecraft. This work will start in January 2025 once a European industrial contractor has been chosen.
LISA is not just one spacecraft but a constellation of three. They will trail Earth in its orbit around the Sun, forming an exquisitely accurate equilateral triangle in space. Each side of the triangle will be 2.5 million km long (more than six times the Earth-Moon distance), and the spacecraft will exchange laser beams over this distance. The launch of the three spacecraft is planned for 2035, on an Ariane 6 rocket.
Led by ESA, LISA is made possible by a collaboration between ESA, its Member State space agencies, NASA, and an international consortium of scientists (the LISA consortium).

#APOCALYPSE OF YAJNAVALKYA: A New #Cosmology Of The #History Of Man Revealed
"TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE!" James Webb Telescope Finds First Real Evidence That Shatters our #Cosmology To The #Core:
Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=p7uDz98ZrRE
The ongoing discoveries made by the #Webb Telescope are profoundly influencing how we comprehend the #universe. As the telescope gazes into the distant past, it unveils mysteries that were previously beyond our perception.
But, wait, a surprising new #discovery just shattered our Fundamental understanding about the universe and reveals that we may be completely wrong about the size of the universe.
In a new paper published recently, scientists have revealed that new images from the Webb Telescope have discovered objects just 120 million years after the Big Bang. Not only this, what scientists found in the deep early universe could break the entire foundation of the standard cosmological model. Astronomers say that we did not expect to see something like this in the Webb image.
tautological to say we are each and all creation of that which create us each and all?

All This Dark Shit...
New Calculations Show Most of The Universe Is Made of Dark Energy : ScienceAlert
Dark Photons Could Explain One of The Universe's Greatest Mysteries
Physics and Cosmology just seem to be "inventing" more dark shit to explain the unexplained in this universe. I really wish some progress would be made soon (my lifetime, hopefully) that would explain the unexplained a wee bit better than just labeling everything "dark shit".
#Physics #Cosmology #Dark_Matter #Dark_Energy #Dark_Photons #Dark_Shit #Dark_Ignorance
We still don't know what dark matter is, but here's what it's not | Space
Step right up, folks... place your bets. Odds are 100,000 to 1 that they don't detect shit.
I don't believe that making up something to account for something that needs to be explained is a solution. I think Physics/Cosmology needs to focus more on the physics of the Universe that we just don't quite understand yet... like gravity, for example.
I'm pretty sure they'll figure this out someday, but I'm also pretty sure it's not going to be magical fairy dust floating around unseen and undetectable.

Sign the petition! Holmdel Township Committee, Monmouth County Board of Freeholders, NJ State Legislature: Save Big Bang Antenna
I just signed a petition to preserve the Holmdel Horn Antenna, a National Historic Landmark used by two Bell Labs Nobel Prize winners to confirm the Big Bang Theory of the creation of the universe.
Please join me and sign this important petition as well.
Friend,
I signed a petition on Action Network telling Holmdel Township Committee, Monmouth County Board of Freeholders, NJ State Legislature to Save Big Bang Antenna.
The historic Horn Antenna, which confirmed the “Big Bang Theory” of cosmology, sits on 42 beautiful acres of Holmdel Township named Crawford Hill. The location is the highest point in Monmouth County. The antenna and land are being endangered to become a high-density residential development of 100-200 townhomes.
Concerned Citizens for Informed Land Use (CILU), Friends of Holmdel Open Space (FHOS) and Preserve Holmdel (PH) say NO to developing the property and moving the Horn Antenna.
We say YES, to keeping the Horn Antenna and the property it sits on being PRESERVED IN PERPETUITY AS A PUBLIC PARK.
Please sign our petition urging the Holmdel Township Committee, the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders, and our legislators to preserve the Horn Antenna and Crawford Hill.
Can you join me and take action? Click here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/save-big-bang-antenna?source=email&
Thanks!

Is Time Travel Possible? - Scientific American
Time traveling to the near future is easy: you’re doing it right now at a rate of one second per second, and physicists say that rate can change.
Going backward in time gets thorny, though (thornier than getting ripped to shreds inside a black hole). Scientists have come up with a few ways it might be possible, and they have been aware of time travel paradoxes in general relativity for decades.
I ask the same question about this that Hawking did... "If Time travel is possible, where are all the visitors from the future?" Personally, I don't believe it's possible. I do, however, believe that their may be multi-universes where Time and realities may range from very slightly different to our Universe to extremely different. Can we travel to these different realities? Dunno' about that, but it would be interesting; and it would also eliminate Time travel paradoxes because our presence in an alternate universe would not affect our home universe.
Another interesting thing to consider is Entropy, which is the ultimate power in our universe. Without Entropy, we would sense no Time. There would be no time arrow pointing in in any direction. Are there alternate universes where Entropy is not as potent?
We may never know... that's the mystery of existence. While it is amazing that an insignificant chemical reaction started on this rock billions of years ago and led to the appearance of a big brained primate who evolved enough to actually sit and contemplate its own existence; I tend to doubt the big brained monkey will ever solve all the mysteries.
Will the universe be torn apart "in a few billion years"?
That's what Ars seems to think.
Our Milky Way galaxy is speeding through the emptiness of space at 600 kilometers per second, headed toward something we cannot clearly see. The focal point of that movement is the Great Attractor, the product of billions of years of cosmic evolution. But we'll never reach our destination because, in a few billion years, the accelerating force of dark energy will tear the Universe apart.
However, the person who literally wrote the book on this (The End of Everything: (Astrophysically Speaking) by Katie Mack) isn't nearly so sure.
https://www.americanscientist.org/article/tearing-apart-the-universe
The last time I calculated the earliest possible Big Rip, based on the 2018 data release from the Planck satellite, I got something in the vicinity of 200 billion years.
We probably shouldn’t panic just yet. As discussed, the data still aren’t that clear. Most measurements of w give a value that is fully consistent with −1, and though it’s true that values less than −1 are sometimes very slightly preferred, that preference isn’t really statistically meaningful. As for the Hubble Constant disagreement, even if all the measurements are correct, nonapocalyptic explanations for the discrepancy—involving weird models of dark matter, or altered conditions in the early universe—are very much in the running. In fact, even tweaking dark energy wouldn’t be enough to totally solve the problem, so it’s not unreasonable to assume that the solution might lie elsewhere. And even if there has been a sharp upturn in the effects of dark energy in recent cosmic history, suggesting something like phantom dark energy, we still have a lot of time before a Big Rip could possibly occur.
Shame on Ars for sloppy science journalism. We can usually expect better from them.
