A lot of great discoveries in physics were made by young scientists, this one is really cool…
SYDNEY (AFP) – A 22-year-old Australian university student has solved a problem which has puzzled astrophysicists for decades, discovering part of the so-called “missing mass” of the universe during her summer break.
Undergraduate Amelia Fraser-McKelvie made the breakthrough during a holiday internship with a team at Monash University’s School of Physics, locating the mystery material within vast structures called “filaments of galaxies”.
In space no one can hear you argue politics. That’s why I read science to relax.
I love this stuff. When Stephen Hawking came out with “A Brief History of Time”, I read it several times.
