Fastest Growing Black hole

Scientists at the Australian National University have made a groundbreaking discovery—an incredibly fast-growing black hole that has surpassed all others in the past 9 billion years.

This voracious cosmic entity has the astounding ability to devour matter at a rate equivalent to one Earth per second! Its mass is equivalent to that of three suns combined. Remarkably, researchers have noted that black holes of this size ceased their rapid growth billions of years ago. This discovery has ignited excitement in the scientific community ⚡️

The 1949 letter by Albert Einstein discusses bees, birds, and whether new physics principles could come from studying animal senses. It’s a position still being realized within physics to this day, with a growing body of research and understanding of how animals such as birds and bees find their way around.

Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel on November 17, 1952, following the death of Israel's first President, Chaim Weizman. He declined, saying that he lacked the natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with people.

🖊️ A. Einstein on GOD

I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I do not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe.

We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.

That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God.

Max Planck (1858-1947) on Matter and Force

As a physicist who has devoted his whole life to rational science, to the study of matter, I think I can safely claim to be above any suspicion of irrational exuberance. Having said that, I would like to observe that my research on the atom has shown me that there is no such thing as matter in itself. What we perceive as matter is merely the manifestation of a force that causes the subatomic particles to oscillate and holds them together in the tiniest solar system of the universe.

Since there is in the whole universe neither an intelligent force nor an eternal force (mankind, for all its yearnings, has yet to succeed in inventing a perpetual motion machine), we must assume that this force that is active within the atom comes from a conscious and intelligent mind. That mind is the ultimate source of matter.

The word “algebra” comes from the Arabic word “al-jabr”, which means “reunion of broken parts” or “restoration”.

This term was used by the Persian mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī in his 9th-century book “Kitab al-jabr wa al-muqabala”, which introduced methods for solving equations and laid the foundation for modern algebra.

The word “algebra” was later translated into Latin and other languages, and gradually expanded to cover a wider range of mathematical topics and concepts.

This is the Centennial Light, the world's longest-lasting light bulb, burning since 1901.

It is at 4550 East Avenue, Livermore, California and due to its longevity, the bulb has been noted by The Guinness Book of World Records.

The Centennial Light was originally a 30-watt (or 60-watt) bulb, now very dim, emitting about the same light as a 4-watt nightlight. The hand-blown, carbon-filament common light bulb was invented by Adolphe Chaillet, a French engineer who filed a patent for this technology.

Its unusual longevity was first noticed in 1972 by reporter Mike Dunstan.
