Are We Wrong About Black Holes? A Radical Theory Challenges Einstein **Black holes may not have singularities after all!** Scientists are exploring new models — including ones without event horizons — that challenge classical physics. With next-gen observations, we might finally glimpse what lies beyond. Einstein, Schwarzschild, and the Birth of Black Holes “Hic sunt leones,” remarks Stefano Liberati, director of the Institute for Fundamental Physics of the Universe (IFPU) and one of authors of a new paper published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics. The Latin phrase, meaning “here be lions,” was once used on ancient maps to mark unknown or dangerous territories. In this case, it refers to the singularity predicted to exist at the center of traditional black holes, those described by Einstein’s general relativity. originally posted at

MIT team sees individual atoms behaving like waves, proving 100yo quantum theory This new experiment zeroed in on bosons, particles that tend to cluster and act like waves — a property predicted over a century ago by French physicist Louis de Broglie. His theory suggested that bosons wouldn’t behave like discrete objects but would instead exhibit collective, wave-like traits. originally posted at

MIT Snaps Stunning First Photos of Atoms Interacting in Open Space MIT scientists have snapped the first-ever images of individual atoms interacting freely in space, making visible the elusive quantum effects that govern their behavior. Using a unique technique that briefly traps atoms in place with a lattice of light, the researchers captured never-before-seen interactions between bosons and fermions. These snapshots confirm decades of theoretical predictions, showing bosons clustering into wave-like formations and fermions forming pairs — mechanisms tied to superconductivity. originally posted at

Why Nvidia investors cheered Trump’s likely dismantling of Biden’s AI chip rules https://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-nvidia-investors-are-cheering-trumps-likely-dismantling-of-bidens-ai-chip-rules-b8780002 Shares of Nvidia Corp. climbed toward the end of trading Wednesday after a report that the Trump administration is not planning to implement artificial-intelligence rules controlling chips shipments that was introduced by the Biden administration. The AI diffusion rules, which had been slated to go into effect May 15, are likely to be rescinded as President Donald Trump develops his own semiconductor restrictions, though he’s yet to make a final decision, Bloomberg News reported. originally posted at

Hackers Weaponized 21 Apps to Gain Full Control of Ecommerce Servers Security researchers have recently uncovered a sophisticated supply chain attack targeting ecommerce platforms through 21 widely-used applications. The backdoor, which remained dormant for six years after its initial injection between 2019 and 2022, has recently activated, providing attackers with complete control over affected servers. The malware operates through a deceptive license verification mechanism embedded within extensions from popular vendors. originally posted at

Pakistani defense minister tells CNN they’re ‘prepared for an all out war.’ https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/07/world/video/pakistan-india-conflict-defense-minister-digvid India launched strikes on both Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir early Wednesday local time. It comes after gunmen killed more than two dozen civilians, mostly tourists, in Indian-controlled Kashmir last month. India accused Pakistan of being involved, which it denied. Pakistan’s defense minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told CNN that India’s latest assault marked an “invitation to expand the conflict” between the two neighbors — but cautioned that Islamabad is “trying to avoid” a full-fledged war. originally posted at
