Pakistani-American physicist Nergis Mavalvala, known for her work on the detection of gravitational waves, spoke in Karachi about the value of curiosity in science. She urged young people, especially in Pakistan, to ask questions and pursue scientific inquiry regardless of their circumstances. Her remarks have drawn attention as an encouraging message for aspiring scientists in the region.
- 3Black Holes Might Shed 'Hair' and Turn Into Boson Stars▼A Black Hole Could Spit Itself Out of Its Own Hair, Leaving a Boson Star in Its Wake
Physicists propose that under certain conditions a black hole could shed its 'hair' — quantum fields trapped around it — and transition into a boson star, an exotic object made of particles with no surface or event horizon. The idea, reported by ScienceAlert, touches on the 'no-hair theorem' and could offer new ways to test black hole physics through gravitational wave observations.
