Supernovas, neutron stars and black holes ‘break the rules’

Supernovas, neutron stars and black holes ‘break the rules’

In an interview with Wal Thornhill, Chief Science Advisor of The Thunderbolts Project, we explore a number of intriguing space science discoveries, including supernovae, "neutron stars," "black holes" and "white dwarf" stars which…

ESO: Merging neutron stars scatter gold and platinum into space

ESO: Merging neutron stars scatter gold and platinum into space

ESO’s fleet of telescopes in Chile have detected the first visible counterpart to a gravitational wave source. These historic observations suggest that this unique object is the result of the merger of two neutron stars. The cataclysmic aftermaths of this kind…

Another “impossible” neutron star

Another “impossible” neutron star

What is a so-called neutron star? Scientists tell us that the material left over from a supernova explosion of a massive star collapses gravitationally, forming an incredibly small yet massively dense star mostly composed of tightly packed neutrons. A rotating…

Cosmic-solar radiation as the cause of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

Cosmic-solar radiation as the cause of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

In the last a few decades research papers started to appear in the scientific press that clearly show correlation between cosmic-solar radiations and destructive geological events like earthquakes & volcanic eruptions. These research papers are supported by statisti

Impossible “neutron star” shatters theory

Impossible “neutron star” shatters theory

What is a neutron star? Astronomers tell us that these tiny yet massively dense objects form by gravitational collapse from the remnants of a massive star that has exploded. The theoretical neutron star was invented to try to explain highly intense bursts of energy from

Fermi catches a never before seen ‘transformer’ neutron star

Fermi catches a never before seen ‘transformer’ neutron star

In late June 2013 astronomers using Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope observed an exceptional binary containing a rapidly spinning neutron star which suddenly underwent a dramatic change in behavior. The pulsar's radio beacon vanished, while at the same time the

“Neutron star” refutes its own existence

“Neutron star” refutes its own existence

A team of scientists studying the x-ray emissions of a so-called neutron star tell us that the existing theoretical models cannot explain what they are seeing. Astronomers say that neutron stars are very small yet massively dense objects that spin at incredibly fast spe

Colliding neutron stars source of all the gold in universe

Colliding neutron stars source of all the gold in universe

Contrary to what most people think, it appears that gold did not form inside our planet eons ago. The reason for this conclusion is simple. Gold is heavy, and have it formed before Earth's crust solidified it would have sunk through the liquid
