In some recent findings scientists offer some new evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them - emitting powerful gamma ray bursts, devouring nearby stars, and spurring the growth of new stars in some areas while stalling it in others. The majority o ...

... 6. What are ‘binary pulsars’ and in what ways do they provide excellent test subjects for experimental confirmation of General Relativity? Binary pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars that orbit each other in close and fast proximity. The strong gravity and high speeds affects the rate of pulsi ...

General Relativity for Teachers
... demonstrated by tracing a cardboard ellipse on a balloon. Blow the balloon fully so it is firm and doesn’t flatten when the students draw on it. Make the cardboard shape similar in size to the balloon so it experiences the full curve of the balloon and not just a small flat-like part. An elliptical ...
