 Astronomers have detected spacetime itself being dragged and twisted by a spinning black hole for the first time. The discovery, seen during a star’s violent destruction, confirms a prediction made over 100 years ago and reveals new clues about how black holes spin and launch jets.

Scientists Confirm the Incredible Existence of Time Reflections
Basically, if you look in a time mirror, you’ll see your back instead of your face.
 The explanation of spatial reflections—whether by light or by sound—are pretty intuitive. Electromagnetic radiation in the form of light or sound waves hit a mirror or wall, respectively, and change course. This allows our eyes to see a reflection or echo of the original input. However, for more than 50 years, scientists have theorized that there’s another kind of reflection in quantum mechanics known as time reflection.

Scientists Designed a Warp Drive That Theoretically Works With Real Physics
A new study shows that warp metrics can fit Star Trek-esque starship designs.
 While living in his dorm at the University of Cardiff, Wales, Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre—then pursuing a Ph.D. in numerical relativity—wrote a short paper detailing the physical reality of the warp drive. Alcubierre often spent Friday nights with friends watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and one night, he pondered how exactly such an engine could work. Eventually published in 1994, the young physicist couldn’t have known that the resulting paper would inspire decades of research into the real-world applications of warp drives.
