🚨: What is at coordinate 0,0 on Earth?

For many years, nations insisted that 0° longitude should pass through their country. So where has 0° latitude and 0° longitude ended up?

[THREAD] 1/ What lies at 0°N, 0°E on Earth? This is the exact point where the Equator and the Prime Meridian intersect. On a map, it looks like a natural “origin” for global coordinates. But the reality of what sits at this location is surprising and a little strange.

🚨: The Universe is already in its sixth and final era From cosmic inflation to a primordial particle soup to the expanding, cooling aftermath, the Universe went through many important stages in our cosmic history.

🚨: Physicists say there’s a mirror universe where time runs in reverse What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning of everything – but the middle?

Physicist Neil Turok, former director of the Perimeter Institute and now Chair at the University of Edinburgh, has proposed a bold new theory with his colleague Latham Boyle: the universe may have a mirror twin – one that existed before the Big Bang, where time runs backward and matter is made of antimatter.

NEWS🚨: A signal from the edge of time has reached Earth — traveling for more than 11 billion years before arriving. In a research paper authored by Manisha Caleb from the University of Sydney, the team report upon the discovery of FRB 20240304B which lies at a redshift of 2.148 +/- 0.001, corresponding to just 3 billion years after the Big Bang.

🚨: Quantum entanglement links particles instantly, even across galaxies, defying distance, light speed, and our understanding of reality! Entanglement defies everyday intuition. Classical physics tells us signals need time to travel, yet entangled particles appear connected beyond space. They behave as one system, no matter the separation. This forces us to rethink what “distance” and “locality” even mean.

🚨: NASA revived the 47-years-old Voyager 1 spacecraft by successfully reactivating its frozen thrusters from 15 billion miles away! NASA engineers revived a set of Voyager 1’s backup thrusters that hadn’t worked since 2004. Those thrusters were long considered dead. The fix gives the aging spacecraft a backup if its primary thrusters fail.

NEWS🚨: Every 44 minutes, Earth gets a signal — NASA now knows who’s sending it — unknown object sending both radio waves and X-rays with such perfect timing has defied current understanding of the universe! The object is called ASKAP J1832−0911, or ASKAP J1832.
It belongs to “long period radio transients” — discovered in 2022 — that change in radio wave intensity over tens of minutes.

NEWS🚨: Harvard scientist says interstellar object that enetered our Solar Sytem recently could be alien probe here to ‘save us or destroy us’ Harvard physicist Avi Loeb says new Hubble images of 3I/ATLAS show a glow in front of it, unlike normal comets that have tails behind them. This unusual light pattern raises doubts about whether it is a natural object or something artificial.

NEWS🚨: The summer's biggest meteor shower peaks this Tuesday, with upto 100 meteors an hour! The Perseid meteor shower, one of the year’s most anticipated celestial events, will peak Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

🚨: James Webb confirms there's something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe — and reveals unknown physics exists. James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations show that early galaxies are too bright, massive, and mature to fit our current models of cosmic evolution. This challenges the idea that galaxies gradually grew over billions of years.

🚨: Our universe might be trapped inside of a black hole. This James Webb Space Telescope discovery might blow your mind The James Webb Space Telescope found that early galaxies don't spin randomly. Out of 263 studied, 62% spun clockwise. This imbalance challenges the idea of a symmetrical universe and hints at deeper cosmic forces or structures at play.

🚨: New evidence reveals Earth could be trapped in a massive cosmic void in space — 2 billion light-years across Scientists suggest Earth lies inside a massive cosmic void about 1 billion light-years wide, where galaxy density is around 20% lower than average. This finding is based on patterns from ancient sound waves called baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs).

🚨: Scientists create matter from pure light, proving Einstein's 90-years old theory E=mc², right in the lab! Physicists created matter from pure light — proving Einstein’s 90-year-old prediction
In one of the most extreme experiments in modern physics, scientists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have turned light into matter — literally creating particles from pure energy using two beams of gamma rays. It’s a breakthrough that proves a key aspect of Einstein’s E=mc² in its rawest form.

🚨: Astronomers baffled by Black Hole burping out star three years after devouring it. 'No one has ever seen anything like this before' In 2018, astronomers observed a star being torn apart by a supermassive black hole in an event named AT2018hyz. This tidal disruption shredded the star into hot plasma, sending it spiraling around the black hole in a dramatic flare. Unexpectedly, nothing more was seen—until years later.

🚨: Scientists say they’ve found ‘strongest evidence to date’ of life beyond our solar system This could change everything.

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have found what may be the strongest evidence yet of life beyond Earth.

🚨: Groundbreaking James Webb ST observations indicate we might be inside a black hole! A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have formed inside a colossal black hole residing in a larger, parent universe.

NEWS🚨: Scientists just captured the first direct image of the cosmic web — the mysterious structure that holds the universe together Astronomers have captured the first-ever direct image of a strand in the cosmic web.

Researchers caught the slender strand linking galaxies, and they traced it across roughly 3 million light-years.

NEWS🚨: James Webb confirms there's something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe — and reveals unknown physics exists. Breakthrough data from James Webb confirms there's a major gap in our understanding of the cosmos — and reveals unknown physics exists.

A major mystery at the heart of cosmology just deepened.

NEWS🚨: Astronomers just found a new 'World' in our Solar System, named Ammonite! The object, for now, designated 2023 KQ14 and nicknamed “Ammonite,” was found by astronomers in Japan using its Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. Announced in a paper published today in Nature Astronomy, the object is not a planet but a sednoid. It's only the fourth sednoid ever discovered.

BREAKING🚨: Earth may be trapped inside a giant void in space, scientists say Earth and the rest of the Milky Way could be floating in a billion-light-year-wide cosmic void, according to new research.

By looking at the echoes left by the ‘soundwaves' of the Big Bang, a team of astronomers discovered that our corner of the Universe could be far emptier than we first thought.

Ever wondered how many Earthlike Planets exist in the observable Universe? Let’s do the Math. [thread]⤵️ We’re gonna calculate how many Earth sized planets orbit within the habitable zone of Sunlike stars across the visible universe.

There are about 2 planets around an average star, about 100 billion stars in a typical galaxy, and about 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe.
