Live updates: Another shockingly good jobs report shows America's economy is booming (www.cnn.com)
 

The US economy added a whopping 353,000 jobs last month, far more than the 176,500 jobs expected. It's yet another data point that underlines the country's economic strength, even in the face of 11 rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

Astronomers use Webb data to measure rapid increase in oxygen in the early universe (phys.org)
 

Using new data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have measured the abundance of oxygen in the early universe. The findings, accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series and posted to the arXiv preprint server, show that the amount of oxygen in galaxies increased rapidly within 500–700 million years after the birth of the universe, and has remained as abundant as observed in modern galaxies since then. This early appearance of oxygen indicates that the elements necessary for life were present earlier than expected.

Do gravitational waves exhibit wave-particle duality? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

When it comes to duality it’s the particles that exhibit wave-like properties individually.

And waves exhibit particle behavior because waves are particles and particles are waves. Light comes in waves. But when we see light it doesn't mean we are seeing a single light photon.

They seem to think the gravity waves are a property of gravitons.

The article talks about gravitational waves, not gravity waves. It is believed that gravitational radiation is similar to electromagnetic radiation. This would mean that gravitational waves are made up of particles called gravitons. But as the article says, we don't know that for sure because we haven't been able to detect gravitons yet.

Gravity waves are completely different from gravitational waves.

Gravitational waves are not 'mechanical waves'. It is thought that gravitational radiation is a lot like electromagnetic radiation. Therefore gravitational waves might work like light waves, and have a particle like light does.

Dwarf galaxies stripped of stars prove to be the missing link in the formation of rare ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (phys.org)
 

Astronomers using the Gemini North telescope, one-half of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF's NOIRLab, have captured the eroding remains of more than 100 dwarf galaxies as they transition into ultra-compact dwarf galaxies, objects with masses much greater than star clusters yet much smaller than dwarf galaxies. These findings confirm that many ultra-compact dwarf galaxies are likely the fossil remains of normal dwarf galaxies that have been stripped of their outer layers.

Always go for the torque sensor. Nobody is going to prefer a cadence sensor over a torque sensor.

Time ran slowly in the early Universe, just as Einstein predicted - Advanced Science News in c/[email protected]

If time didn't "move" there would still be that single dense area (there was never a point).

No time -> no motion no movement no changes.

Headlines have blared that quasar ticking confirms that time passed more slowly in the early Universe. That's not how any of this works.
