  Astronomers have found a smaller, stellar-mass black hole lurking in a nearby satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way.  The black hole has been hiding in a star cluster named NGC 1850, which is one of the brightest star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The black hole is 160,000 light-years away from Earth, and is estimated to be about 11 times the mass of our Sun. Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers found the black hole when they noticed a star with a peculiar motion among the star cluster, where other stars weren’t behaving the same way. Further investigation revealed the gravitational influence came from a stellar mass black hole. This is the first time astronomers have used this detection method to reveal the presence of a black hole outside of our galaxy. Astronomers say this method could be helpful in locating other hidden black holes in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies, and it can also help shed light on how these ...

  0  ( zero ) is a number ,  and the numerical digit  used to represent that number in numerals  . It fulfills a central role in mathematics   as the  additive identity   of the integers , real numbers  , and many other  algebraic structure  . As a digit, 0 is used as a placeholder in place value systems  .  Names for the number 0 in    English  include  zero ,  nought  (UK),  naught   ,  nil , or—in contexts where at least one adjacent digit distinguishes it from the letter "O"— oh  or  o   . Informal or slang terms for zero include  zilch  and  zip .   Ought  and  aught   ,   as well as  cipher ,  have also been used historically. The word  zero  came into the English language via French  zéro  from the Italian  zero , a contraction of the Venetian  zevero  form o...

  A simulation is a model that mimics the operation of an existing or proposed system, providing evidence for decision-making by being able to test different scenarios or process changes. This can be coupled with virtual reality technologies for a more immersive experience. Simulations can be used to tune up performance, optimise a process, improve safety, testing theories, training staff and even for entertainment in video games! Scientifically modelling systems allows a user to gain an insight into the effects of different conditions and courses of action. Simulation can also be used when the real system is inaccessible or too dangerous to assess or when a system is still in the design or theory stages. Key to any simulation is the information that is used to build the simulation model and protocols for the verification and validation of models are still being researched and refined, particularly with regard to computer simulation. Simulation works through the use of intuitive si...

  One of Tesla’s most   Outlandish ideas    was that it would be possible to photograph one's thoughts. In 1933, he told reporters at the Kansas City Journal-Post, “In 1893, while engaged in certain investigations, I became convinced that a definite image formed in thought, must by reflex action, produce a corresponding image on the retina, which might be read by a suitable apparatus. “Now if it be true that a thought reflects an image on the retina, it is a mere question of illuminating the same property and taking photographs and then using the ordinary methods which are available to project the image on a screen. “If this can be done successfully, then the objects imagined by a person would be clearly reflected on the screen   as they are formed, and in this way, every thought of the individual could be read. Our minds would then, indeed, be like open books.” Obviously, this is not how thought process work , but there is so much we don’t know about ...

On October 16, 1997, the United States is gearing up to colonize space. The  Jupiter 2 , a futuristic saucer-shaped spacecraft, stands on its launch pad undergoing final preparations. Its mission is to take a single family on a five-and-a-half year journey to an Earth-like planet orbiting the star Alpha    Centauri . The Robinson family consists of Professor John Robinson , his wife Maureen (, and their three children: Judy ; Penny ; and Will. The family is accompanied by U.S. Space Corps Major Donald West . The Robinsons and Major West are to be cryogenically    frozen  for the voyage, and they are set to be unfrozen when the spacecraft approaches its destination. Dr. Zachary Smith , Alpha Control's doctor, is revealed to be a saboteur working on behalf of an unnamed nation. After disposing of a guard who catches him aboard the spacecraft, Smith reprograms the  Jupiter 2 ' s B-9 environmental control robot (voiced by Dick   Tufeld ...
