To check out your special SpaceTime discount with 30 day money back guarantee, visit www.nordvpn.com/stuartgary or use the coupon code STUARTGARY at checkout.This episode of SpaceTime delves into groundbreaking discoveries and theories that reshape our understanding of the universe, including the origins of dark matter, the first visible light auroras on Mars, and new insights into massive X-ray explosions near supermassive black holes.The Birth of Dark Matter ExplainedA new hypothesis suggests that dark matter, which constitutes about 85% of the universe's mass, may have originated from massless particles that condensed as they slowed down. This theory, outlined in the journal Physical Review Letters, proposes that these particles formed during the early universe's chaotic conditions, akin to steam turning into water. We discuss how this model could be tested using existing cosmic microwave background radiation data, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of dark matter's properties and formation.Visible Light Auroras on MarsIn a historic achievement, NASA's Perseverance rover has captured the first visible light auroras on Mars, confirming long-held theories about Martian atmospheric phenomena. This event, triggered by a massive solar flare, opens up new avenues for auroral research and suggests that future astronauts could witness these stunning displays on the Martian surface. We explore the implications of this discovery and how it enhances our understanding of solar interactions with planetary atmospheres.Quasiperiodic Eruptions: A New Type of X-ray ExplosionAstronomers have identified a new type of X-ray outburst known as quasiperiodic eruptions, occurring near supermassive black holes. Observed in a galaxy 300 million light-years away, these eruptions exhibit a unique pattern, with events occurring every 4.5 days. We discuss the mechanisms behind these eruptions and their significance in understanding the dynamics of black holes and their surrounding environments.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesPhysical Review Lettershttps://journals.aps.org/prl/Science Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvAstrophysical Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/0004-637XBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 62 for broadcast on 23 May 202501:00 New theory explaining the birth of dark matter12:15 First visible light auroras detected on Mars20:30 Discovery of quasiperiodic eruptions near supermassive black holes30:00 Science report: AI chatbots exaggerate research summaries

Utilizing the advanced capabilities of the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASCAP), researchers reveal the unique characteristics of these galaxies, including their powerful jets and lobes traveling at superluminal speeds. We delve into the implications of these findings for our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.Changes on TitanNext, we discuss the intriguing changes occurring on Saturn's moon Titan, which is experiencing rapid orbital changes on geological timescales. Scientists explore the factors influencing Titan's tidal dissipation rate and what it reveals about the moon's internal structure and history. This study provides insights into the dynamic processes at play in our solar system's moons.Failed Soviet Spacecraft ReturnsWe also cover the dramatic re-entry of the Kosmos 482, a failed Soviet spacecraft that spent 53 years in orbit before crashing back to Earth. Launched in 1972 on a mission to Venus, the spacecraft's uncontrolled descent raises concerns about space debris and its potential impact on Earth.AI and Humanity's FutureFinally, we tackle the controversial topic of artificial intelligence and its potential risks to humanity. With AI evolving at an unprecedented pace, we examine the findings of a new study that assesses the likelihood of AI leading to human extinction. As science fiction warns of a future dominated by AI, we explore the reality of these threats and what they mean for our future.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesScience Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvJournal of the American Medical Associationhttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is space time series 28, episode 57 for broadcast on 12 May 202500:54 Astronomers have discovered 15 giant radio galaxies each hosting a supermassive black hole09:35 You're still learning about these galaxies11:57 Now you, uh, mentioned starburst galaxies earlier.

In this episode of Geek Freaks Interview, I'm joined by comic creator Kyle Higgins, the visionary behind Radiant Black and the ever-expanding Massive-Verse. Kyle dives into how he built a creator-owned superhero universe at Image Comics and walks us through the evolution of Radiant Black, the challenges of dual timelines in Catalyst War, and the collaborative process behind Rogue Sun, The Dead Lucky, and Inferno Girl Red. We also talk about the audio book, animated promos, and his thoughts on live-action vs. animation adaptations. Whether you're new to the Massive-Verse or a longtime fan, this conversation is a deep look into one of comics' most ambitious storytelling worlds. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and welcome to Kyle Higgins 00:26 What is the Massive-Verse? 01:16 Radiant Black and its millennial superhero tone 03:34 The structure and accessibility of the Massive-Verse 05:07 Audiobook updates and voice talent reveals 06:59 Animated promos and creative marketing 08:03 The origin of Radiant Black and its influences 11:14 How Power Rangers and Toku storytelling shaped the series 14:15 Managing canon and creative direction in a multi-title universe 15:50 Writing dual timelines for Catalyst War 19:14 How the fan vote shaped the story's direction 24:06 The "Rebuild Era" and aftermath world-building 27:33 Proliferation of 001 tech and rising threats 30:19 Rogue Sun's new direction and layered family dynamics 33:37 Appreciation for the design and narrative tone of Rogue Sun 34:10 Live-action vs. animation: which is best for Radiant Black? 36:44 Navigating rights, control, and studio offers 40:28 Where to find the comics and meetups with the team Key Takeaways: The Massive-Verse is a creator-owned, shared superhero universe with interconnected titles that can also stand alone. Radiant Black explores modern adulthood and friendship through a fresh superhero lens, inspired by Power Rangers and 90s nostalgia. The dual timeline storytelling in Catalyst War was one of the hardest yet most rewarding challenges of Kyle's career. The team is exploring creative and immersive ways to promote the comics, including animated promos and an audiobook with a star-studded voice cast. Live-action adaptations are possible, but only if the creators are in full control of the production. The new "Rebuild Era" reflects the consequences of superhero battles and explores what comes after the big events—something rarely addressed in comics. Rogue Sun is shifting its spotlight with a new lead character, deepening its themes of family and legacy. Quotes: “I want this to be a superhero book that celebrates being a fan of superheroes.” – Kyle Higgins “You're either a Nathan or a Marshall... and you have a friend that's the other one.” – Frank “Animation's great. But if we're doing an adaptation, we want full control. No compromises.” – Kyle Higgins Call to Action: Enjoyed the episode?

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies, and modern telescopes continue to observe them at surprisingly early times in the Universe's evolution. It's difficult to understand how these black holes were able to grow so big so rapidly. But with the discovery of a low-mass supermassive black hole feasting on material at an extreme rate, seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, astronomers now have valuable new insights into the mechanisms of rapidly growing black holes in the early Universe. In this podcast, Hyewon Suh and Julia Scharwächter discuss the discovery of LID-568, a black hole that is feeding at 40 times the theoretical limit. Bios: Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. Hyewon Suh's research mainly focuses on the multi-wavelength studies of Active Galactic Nuclei and their host galaxies to understand the growth of black holes in the context of galaxy evolution. While the deep, large-area extragalactic surveys have greatly enriched our knowledge of the early universe, there are several missing pieces in the understanding of the formation and the growth of supermassive black holes. She is interested in the most energetic and obscured phase of accreting black holes to explore the formation of the first accreting black holes, and to provide the crucial observational constraints on a hidden phase in the early universe. Julia Scharwächter's main research area is the (co-)evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes. She is interested in studying the role of AGN feedback and the nature of black hole mass-host galaxy scaling relations. Her observational projects mostly aim at spatially resolved studies of galaxy nuclei in the nearby Universe. She uses 3D spectroscopy in the optical, near-infrared, and at millimeter wavelengths to probe the stellar and gas component in galaxies, with a special focus on gas-kinematic black hole mass measurements and gas excitation/kinematics around AGN. She is also interested in galaxy dynamics and galaxy merger simulations using N-body/SPH codes.

fWotD Episode 2727: The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 22 October 2024 is The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes.The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is a 2021 interactive drama and survival horror video game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the third game of the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology. The game features a multilinear plot in which decisions can significantly alter the trajectory of the story and change the relationships between the five playable protagonists; some lead to their permanent deaths. House of Ashes is set during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and follows five characters—four Americans working for the US Armed Forces and one Iraqi Republican Guard—who must escape from an underground Akkadian temple and survive the vampiric creatures that infest the area. Ashley Tisdale, who plays CIA operative Rachel King, was marketed as the game's leading actress. Jason Graves, a long-time collaborator with Supermassive for the series, composed the soundtrack during COVID-19 lockdowns in the United Kingdom.Reappearing in House of Ashes are staple mechanics of The Dark Pictures Anthology, such as quick time events (QTEs), two single-player and two multiplayer modes, and collectibles that allow players to see visions of possible future events. New features include a more interactive camera system, a handheld light source for easier navigation, and three difficulty levels to manage QTEs. The films Aliens, Predator, and The Descent, as well as the H. P. Lovecraft novella At the Mountains of Madness and the myth of the Curse of Akkad were the main influences for the game. The creatures were made using motion capture and hand animation, and the temple's design was inspired by ancient Mesopotamian architecture. Military specialists and Arabic speakers were consulted to ensure a faithful depiction of the war.House of Ashes was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on 22 October 2021, to mixed reviews. Several critics deemed it an improvement from the previous two instalments in the anthology, and points of praise included the replay value, QTE intensity, cinematography, multiplayer modes, and likeability of the Iraqi character. Critiques were directed towards the game's pacing, scare factor, facial animations, texture and animation glitches, and handling of the Iraq War.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 116*Discovery of More Black Holes Than Expected in the Early UniverseA new study using the Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a significantly higher number of supermassive black holes in the early universe than previously anticipated. Published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, the findings could revolutionise our understanding of how these ancient black holes formed shortly after the Big Bang. Astronomers, including Alice Young from Stockholm University, suggest that these massive black holes might have originated from the collapse of massive gas clouds or through rapid mergers of smaller stellar-mass black holes.*New Volcano Spotted on Jupiter's Moon IoAstronomers have discovered a new volcano on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, using the Junocam instrument aboard NASA's Juno mission. Io, the most geologically active object in the solar system, boasts over 400 active volcanoes. The newly discovered volcano, located just south of Io's equator, was identified in the first close-up images of Io in over 25 years. The images reveal multiple lava flows and volcanic deposits, with sulphur staining on the eastern side and dark lava streams on the western side.*Confirming the Mass of the W BosonScientists at CERN have confirmed the mass of the W boson, a fundamental particle in physics, to be 80,360.2 mega electron volts, with a margin of error of 9.9 mega electron volts. This confirmation resolves a previous unexpected measurement and aligns with the Standard Model of particle physics. The study utilised data from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider, involving the analysis of millions of events to achieve this precise measurement.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.comThis week's guests include: Alice Young from Stockholm University
Episode 268Research has long linked loneliness to surprising health conditions, including diabetes and some cancers. The assumption has been that loneliness in some way causes these issues, perhaps through increased stress or inflammation. But in a study of tens of thousands of people's biomedical data, that link has gotten more complicated. Where does this leave the relationship between loneliness and health, and the public health programs that are trying to tackle both?Supermassive black holes are so big and existed so early in the universe's history that astronomers are unsure how they formed. Dark matter to the rescue? Among the theories of how they formed is “direct collapse,” which a study finds may be possible with some help from decaying dark matter. But a specific type of dark matter is needed to make this theory work…so what's next?A photon has been observed travelling in negative time. It was caught leaving a cloud of atoms before it ever entered it. How is this possible? Is this a time travelling photon? Well, somehow, no laws of physics were broken. Obviously some quirky quantum effects are in play – but what exactly is going on?Plus: How Earth may have once had a ring around it; a pair of black hole jets that are 23 million light years across; how some long-stemmed flowers have evolved to help bats pollinate them; and the discovery of a brand new, teeny tiny chameleon.Hosts Timothy Revell and Christie Taylor discuss with guests Leah Crane, Sophie Bushwick and Karmela Padavic-Callaghan.To read more about these stories, visit newscientist.com.Get 10 weeks of unlimited digital access to newscientist.com and our app for £10/$10 by visiting: https://www.newscientist.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 83, where we explore the latest cosmic events and advancements in space exploration. First, NASA's Webb Space Telescope has identified luminous, very red objects from the early universe, challenging conventional models of galaxy and supermassive black hole formation. These mysterious objects, dating back to 600-800 million years after the Big Bang, contain ancient stars and massive black holes, suggesting an unexpectedly rapid formation in the young universe. The findings, published in the Astrophysical Journal, reveal that these objects are galaxies more than 13 billion years old, packed with stars and supermassive black holes far larger than those in our Milky Way galaxy. Next, NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft has set a new record with 100,000 orbits around the red planet. This 23-year-old orbiter has been instrumental in mapping Mars' surface, identifying landing sites, and relaying data from rovers and landers. A recent image of Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano in the solar system, offers stunning new insights into the Martian atmosphere, showcasing layers of dust and water ice clouds.Finally, SpaceX has been selected to deorbit and destroy the International Space Station (ISS) in 2030. The ISS, launched in 1998, has provided humanity's first permanent habitation in space. SpaceX will develop a specialised orbital tug to lower the ISS in a controlled re-entry, ensuring most of it burns up in the atmosphere, with remnants splashing down in the remote Point Nemo.Sponsor Offer: This episode is proudly supported by Malwarebytes....online security at it's most effective.

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 77, where we explore the latest cosmic discoveries and advancements in space exploration.First, astronomers have discovered the earliest known pair of quasars in the process of merging. Reported in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, this discovery represents the earliest known merger of supermassive black holes, occurring just 900 million years after the Big Bang. This period, known as the cosmic dawn, is crucial for understanding the formation of the first stars and galaxies and the epoch of reionization.Next, NASA's Mars Perseverance rover has discovered oddly textured, popcorn-like rocks in a formation known as Bright Angel. These rocks suggest the presence of groundwater in Mars' past, and mission managers plan to conduct detailed exploration to uncover their origins.Finally, new insights into the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, have been presented at the 244th meeting of the American Astronomical Society. Using decades of x-ray data, astronomers have uncovered previously undetected flares and echoes, providing valuable information about the black hole's environment and past activity.Follow our cosmic conversations on X @stuartgary, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
