Space-time is swirling around a dead star, proving Einstein right again

The way the fabric of space and time swirls in a cosmic whirlpool around a dead star has confirmed yet another prediction from Einstein’s theory of general relativity, a new study finds. That prediction is a phenomenon known as frame dragging, or the Lense-Thirring effect. It states that space-time will churn around a massive, rotating […]

There’s a bizarre group of shapeshifting objects at the center of the Milky Way

They’re not stars. They’re not gas clouds. They’re something else. In 2012, black hole spectators thought they had hit the jackpot: a gas cloud, dubbed G2, was swinging into a potential danger zone at the Milky Way’s core.

The “divine” Fibonacci sequence (1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55…) is connected to the Golden Mean or Golden Ratio (φ Phi), which shows up everywhere in nature, and in classical architecture and art. Around 300 BC, the Greek mathematician Euclid studied the “Golden Section” or “division according to the outer and middle proportion.” It describes a length that is divided […]

Cosmos’ Divine Numbering–the Fibonacci Sequence (Part 1)

There’s a “divine” ratio that appears to be a kind of built-in numbering system to the cosmos—the Fibonacci sequence. In 1202 AD, Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci wrote the sequence in his book “Liber Abaci” and spread it to the West, but the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, and the Indian mathematicians in the 6th century knew […]

My Chinese Students Don’t Want You to Talk About Hong Kong. Clearly, We’re Failing Them.

Chinese international students are studying for years in the United States without adopting democratic values. That’s our failure, not theirs. Over the past few weeks, I’ve written several columns supporting protesters in Hong Kong. And each time, my in-box fills up with angry messages from Chinese students in the United States. Hong Kong is threatening […]
