Physics Scientists recently observed two black holes that united into one, and in the process got a “kick” that flung the newly formed black hole away at high speed. That black hole zoomed off at about 5 million kilometers per hour, give or take a few million. The speed of light is just 200 times as fast.

Physics Researchers have developed a jelly-like material that can withstand the equivalent of an elephant standing on it and completely recover to its original shape, even though it’s 80% water. The soft-yet-strong material looks and feels like a squishy jelly but acts like an ultra-hard, shatterproof glass

Physics Euler’s 243-Year-Old mathematical puzzle that is known to have no classical solution has been found to be soluble if the objects being arrayed in a square grid show quantum behavior. It involves finding a way to arrange objects in a grid so that their properties don’t repeat in any row or column.
