What Happens If You Destroy A Black Hole?
AdultsEnvironmentLifeSciencePhysicsBlack holes can destroy everything – but can they be destroyed? What happens if we push physics to the absolute limits, maybe even break it and the universe in the process?

What are gravitational waves? - Amber L. Stuver
AdultsPhysicsScienceSpaceIn September 2015, scientists witnessed something never seen before: two black holes colliding. Both about 30 times as big as our Sun, they had been orbiting each other for millions of years. A fraction of a second before the crash, they sent a vibration across the universe at the speed of light that was picked up by the LIGO detector. So what are these ripples in space? Amber L. Stuver explains.

Why no one has measured the speed of light
AdultsData ScienceEducationSciencePhysicsPhysics students learn the speed of light, c, is the same for all inertial observers but no one has ever actually measured it in one direction.
