    A new model of general relativity that applies quantum corrections terms predicts universe has no beginning, resolving the problem of the Big Bang singularity. They replaced classical geodesics with quantum trajectories as a cosmological constant term and a radiation term which keep the universe at a finite size and an infinite age.

    The universe could be filled with a quantum fluid.

     

     

    The smallest star ever discovered at 600 light-years from the Earth. …

    EBLM J0555-57Ab is the smallest star ever discovered at 600 light-years from the Earth. This red dwarf has the size of Saturn and a mass of 8% of the sun, minimum mass for a star. The red dwarfs, with a mass of less than 20% of the sun, are the most common in the universe.

     

     

    Mysterious influence in a collider.

    Four experiments have produced evidence that some particles supposed to behave identically react differently to a mysterious influence in a collider. Twelve elementary particles and “force-carrier” particles describe the building blocks of the universe in the Standard Model. But a pattern called lepton universality, including electrons, muons and taus, is flouted by the rate of tau particles in 3 experiments compared to electrons, and the rate of electrons and muons in a 4th experiment. The only explanation would be an unrecognized force that breaks larger particles into taus and muons.

     

     

    An extra-solar moon discovered at 4000 light-years?

    An extra-solar moon could have been discovered at 4000 light-years. If it’s the case it would have half-size of the Earth orbiting a planet 4 times bigger than Jupiter. But it could also be a Neptun-size planet around a small star of 0.12 sun mass.

     

     

    A giant magnetic bridge between the Magellanic Clouds.

    For the first time physicists have observed a giant magnetic bridge between the Magellanic Clouds. A huge stream of neutral gas stretches 75,000 light years between our two neighbouring galaxies. The newly detected magnetic field is only one millionth strength of the Earth’s one.

     

     

    The cosmic velocity web in space.

    The cosmic velocity web is represented by flows of matter within filaments and towards knots in space. Using the motions of galaxies instead of their positions, astronomers locate the matter in clusters, filaments and voids. The mass and the 5 times more abundant « dark matter » define the structure of the universe.

    (72aH*) : August 6th is the anniversary of the atomic bomb explosion on Hiroshima in 1945.
    This date represents the entrance of Humanity into the age of Revelation (Apocalypsis).
    Thus, since August 6, 2017, we are in 72 aH, (meanning 72 after Hiroshima).
    It is also an “atheist” and universal calendar to replace the existing ” monotheist”, religious and non universal calendars.
