Physics: Best Cosmic Mindblowers of 2010 From Nat Geo News



1. Every Black Hole Contains Another Universe?
And our universe may be nested inside another universe's black hole, equations predict

2. Time Will End in Five Billion Years, Physicists Predict
The universe will cease to exist around the same time our sun is slated to die

5. Big Bang Poured Out "Liquid" Universe, Atom Smasher Hints
A pinhead-size drop of this liquid would have the same mass as the pyramids of Egypt and it's also a million times hotter than the center of sun

6. Universe's Existence May Be Explained by New Material
A new special ceramic may help researchers explain why all matter in the universe didn't annihilate shortly after the big bang

7. Space-Time "Wrinkles" Igniting Odd Gamma-Ray Bursts?
Unusually short but intense "fireballs" in the distant universe may be triggered by vibrating invisible cosmic strings — ultradense flaws in space-time — a new study suggests.

8. Mysterious Structures Balloon From Milky Way's Core
Huge gamma-ray bubbles are billowing from the core of our home galaxy and the energy source creating them is a mystery

9. Einstein's Relativity Affects Aging on Earth (Slightly)
Like a vignette from The Twilight Zone, new research shows that you'll age slightly faster standing on a staircase than you do on the floor below

10. Largest Space Molecules Found; Buckyball Mystery Solved
Now scientists using the Spitzer Space Telescope (and possibly the Schwartz) have discovered real spaceballs, aka buckyballs, the mysterious form of pure carbon they've sought in space for some 40 years.
