Science & Astronomy

I'm a senior staff writer at DigitiMed, based in Italy. I studied astrophysics at the University of Bologna before transitioning into journalism. I covers an extensive array of topics including black holes, quantum mechanics, interstellar travel, cosmology, space technology, and astrobiology. My in-depth analysis of gravitational waves earned him a nomination for the "Best Science Feature" at the European Science Journalism Awards in 2023.

A theory suggests that the past, present, and future exist all at once

Time travelers may have already shaped history—how would we even know otherwise? Key Takeaways According to the block universe theory, past, present, and future exist simultaneously in a four-dimensional spacetime structure. The sense of “present” is a relative experience, not an absolute state. Traveling to the past wouldn’t change it, as the time traveler’s actions…

Astronomers have discovered unusual twin alien planets that may be water worlds

Hubble Finds Two Exoplanets Covered in Oceans 1,000 Miles Deep, Possibly Hiding Exotic Forms of Life TL;DR Using data from the Hubble telescope, scientists have discovered two exoplanets, Kepler-138c and Kepler-138d, which appear to be “water worlds” with oceans potentially as deep as 1,000 miles. These planets, located 218 light-years away, are unlike any in…

Everything In The Universe Is Doomed To Evaporate – Stephen Hawking’s Most Famous Prediction

A groundbreaking new theory has significantly revised Stephen Hawking’s 1974 black hole theory, suggesting that all objects with mass might eventually vanish. Stephen Hawking’s iconic theory on black holes has been updated with a chilling twist: it now proposes that everything in the universe is fated to evaporate over time. In 1974, Hawking introduced the…

Groundbreaking study suggests our universe is an expanding bubble in a higher dimension

Up to 10⁵⁰⁰ potential solutions exist in string theory, with our Universe as just one. Key Takeaways Physicists propose that our Universe could exist as a bubble between five-dimensional spaces. This model could explain dark energy, the force behind the Universe’s continuous expansion. The theory links our Universe’s properties to “strings” extending into an extra…

Quantum entanglement breaks record by linking two atoms over 20 miles

33 kilometers: the new record for quantum entanglement between two atoms over fiber optics. Key Takeaways Researchers entangled two atoms across 33 kilometers of fiber optic cable, breaking a distance record. The experiment paves the way for a faster and more secure quantum internet. Rubidium atoms in optical traps were entangled through photon emissions and…

Mysterious upward-shooting ‘blue jet’ lightning spotted from International Space Station

  Key Takeaways:  These are rare lightning-like flashes that shoot from the tops of storm clouds toward space, reaching up to 30 miles into the stratosphere. They are difficult to see from the ground due to their brief nature and cloud cover. In 2019, instruments aboard the International Space Station recorded five blue flashes and…

Interstellar Travel Is Possible If We Break Into a Higher Dimension, Scientists Say

And luckily for us, quantum physicists think they know how to reach that higher dimension. Key Takeaways: Scientists believe wormholes, theoretical tunnels through spacetime, might allow near-instant travel across galaxies. To access wormholes, we may need to tap into a higher-dimensional space beyond our current understanding. Hypothetical exotic matter with negative mass could keep a…

None of the 1.3 trillion stars are expected to collide during the Andromeda-Milky Way collision

The Andromeda Galaxy is hurtling toward the Milky Way at 250,000 miles per hour! Key Takeaways Despite involving over 1.3 trillion stars, individual star collisions during the Andromeda-Milky Way merger are unlikely due to the vast distances between them. The galaxies’ supermassive black holes will merge, creating powerful gravitational waves and energy bursts. The Sun…
