When measuring time, we normally assume that clocks do not affect space and time, and that time can be measured with infinite accuracy at nearby points in space. Combining quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity theoretical physicists have demonstrated a fundamental limitation for our ability to measure time. The more precise a given clock is, the more it ‘blurs’ the flow of time measured by […]

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has found that the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy ate its last big meal about 6 million years ago, when it consumed a large clump of infalling gas. After the meal, the engorged black hole burped out a colossal bubble of gas weighing the equivalent of millions of suns, which now billows above and below our galaxy’s center. […]

On Earth, liquid flows downhill thanks to gravity. Creating an effective liquid fuel tank involves little more than putting a hole at the bottom of a container. That won’t work in space, though.
