    They started with manganese oxide (black in color) then added a few other chemicals and threw the mixture into a furnace. What came out was a vivid blue substance.

  4. Black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    A black hole with the mass of a car would have a diameter of about 10 −24 m and take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity of more than 200 times that of the Sun. Lower-mass black holes are expected to evaporate even faster; for example, a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c 2 would take less than 10 −88 ...

    1972 — Jacob Bekenstein suggests that black holes have an entropy proportional to their surface area due to information loss effects; 1974 — Stephen Hawking applies quantum field theory to black hole spacetimes and shows that black holes will radiate particles with a black-body spectrum which can cause black hole evaporation

    It might seem like a simple question. But the science behind a blue sky isn't that easy. For starters, it involves something called the Rayleigh effect, or Rayleigh scattering. But that same ...

    Jones designed the portable air-cooling unit for trucks carrying perishable food to prevent spoilage. [11] [14] The Model A refrigeration equipment was attached to undercarriages of trucks. Chilled air was transported to the inside of the trailer via refrigerant tubing. [17] Because Model A was too heavy, Jones later developed the Model B.

    Scientists have discovered the oldest black hole yet, a cosmic beast formed a mere 470 million years after the Big Bang. ... Natarajan expects more early black holes will be found — perhaps not ...

  9. Kugelblitz (astrophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelblitz_(astrophysics)

    In other words, if enough radiation is aimed into a region of space, the concentration of energy can warp spacetime so much that it creates a black hole. This would be a black hole the original mass–energy of which was in the form of radiant energy rather than matter; [ 1 ] however, there is currently no uniformly accepted method of ...
