🚨 SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE FINALLY SOLVED ONE OF THE BIGGEST UNSOLVED PROBLEMS IN BLACK HOLE PHYSICS. For years, astrophysicists have struggled with the “final parsec problem”: even after two supermassive black holes get relatively close, they struggle to shed enough angular momentum to merge within the age of the...

At the heart of our Milky Way lies Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole with a mass of about 4.3 million suns. Recent observations from the Event Horizon Telescope have revealed something remarkable: the magnetic fields surrounding it are not the turbulent, disordered chaos scientists once expected, but instead form a strong, coherent spiral structure.These organized, twisted magnetic fields thread through the swirling hot plasma near the event horizon, acting like invisible guides that regulate how matter flows inward. They help control the acceleration and heating of gas, determine the intensity of emitted radiation, and stabilize the chaotic environment just outside the point of no return.This discovery, achieved by imaging polarized light from the accretion disk, shows striking similarities to the magnetic geometry seen around the much larger black hole in M87—despite vast differences in size and activity level. It suggests that powerful, ordered magnetic fields are a universal feature of supermassive black holes, playing a central role in how they feed, influence their surroundings, and potentially launch jets.The findings deepen our understanding of extreme plasma physics under intense gravity, test general relativity in its strongest regime, and highlight the profound interplay between magnetic forces and spacetime itself. Even in our relatively quiet galactic center, these fields reveal a hidden capacity for dynamic, powerful behavior—reminding us that black holes are not just gravitational sinks, but complex engines shaped by electromagnetism on cosmic scales.Future observations promise even sharper views and time-lapse sequences, offering deeper insights into the fundamental processes driving the hearts of galaxies.

It's Black Hole Friday! This computer simulation shows a gas cloud encountering two supermassive black holes. As gravitational and frictional forces meet, the cloud condenses and heats. Each time the black holes orbit, some of the gas is ejected. Learn how scientists use data like this to improve their observations and understanding of cosmic systems:

There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In esoteric knowledge, they are the four elements. Jinn, angels, demons, Ahuras, Devas, etc. are made of "fire"; they are plasmoids, structures of plasma, just like the Sun and magnetic fields. The final evolution of the soul will make you a plasmoid as well, one day. The body made out of light in the Tibetan tradition is a plasma body; this is the final step of evolution.

In the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in the U.S. sits "Little Big Coil", the most powerful continuous magnetic field ever created by humans - reaching 48.7 tesla, over 1 million times stronger than Earth's magnetic field. This record-breaking magnet uses a hybrid design, combining superconducting coils with a resistive magnet to push matter into regimes never seen before. Backed by $195M from the NSF and ongoing state funding, NHMFL scientists use it to study quantum materials, extreme superconductivity, fusion-relevant physics, and exotic states of matter. Under fields this intense, atoms distort, electrons behave strangely, and materials reveal secrets that could redefine quantum technology, energy systems, and medical science.

SPACE JUST DROPPED THE ORIGIN STORY OF YOUR GOLD CHAIN Turns out the bling on your wrist might’ve come from a dead star explosion - yeah, not even kidding. Scientists now think that wild space objects called magnetars - basically neutron stars on steroids with crazy magnetic fields - might’ve burped out gold, platinum, and uranium during mega flares. One flare in 2004 was so intense it messed with Earth’s atmosphere from 30,000 light-years away. That's like someone sneezing in another galaxy and you still feeling it. The flare likely created a Mars-sized pile of heavy elements — a cosmic Black Friday, but for metals. So next time someone compliments your jewelry, feel free to say, “Thanks, it was forged in the fire of a dying star.” Source: Washington Post

If the promise of a tasty meal makes you want to jump for joy, you may relate to the loggerhead turtle. These animals have an uncontrollable urge to dance whenever they anticipate food—a trait scientists used to test whether the reptiles can memorize their favorite feeding sites based on Earth’s magnetic fields.

In the summer of 2023, I cold emailed Jensen Huang and asked to capture a NeRF of him at SIGGRAPH. He responded in about an hour and said yes. A radiance field is, in the simplest terms, akin to a 3D photograph. A moment in time, so completely reconstructed that you can move through it and see it from angles the original cameras never occupied. NeRFs were the original method. Gaussian splatting, which debuted at that same SIGGRAPH, has since become the dominant form of radiance field. I called my late friend James, who told me we needed to begin practicing immediately. We ran capture after capture for weeks until we consistently got the capture time down to ~30 seconds with one camera. Later, in a hallway at the LA Convention Center during SIGGRAPH, I captured the portrait you're seeing now, a full 360° gaussian splat of Jensen, rendered here as a 2D flythrough. Afterward, I continued the conversation with him and members of his team to make the case for radiance fields as a foundational representation for imaging. To my surprise, they listened. Three years later, NVIDIA has several works, including NuRec, fVDB, 3DGRUT, and gsplat all utilizing radiance fields. The landscape has evolved enough that the reasoning is obvious. Gaussian splatting has begun to ship across some of the world’s largest industries, including autonomous vehicles, AEC, geospatial, media and entertainment, robotics, e-commerce, hospitality. It’s become clear that lifelike 3D is here to stay. And yet I think we will look back and be disappointed by how late we started taking 3D portraits of the people around us, just like how we have sparse 2D photos of our grandparents and great grandparents. We have billions of photographs of the people we know and love, but almost no radiance fields of them. I'll be returning to SIGGRAPH in LA where this was initially captured three years ago, with the landscape looking significantly different. Radiance fields are more under deployed than ever relative to what they can do. I'm excited for the future of imaging, and for 2D to transition into 3D. I have a few things up my sleeve that I think will make that case plainly.

🚨 THE SUN JUST PUNCHED EARTH IN THE MAGNETIC FACE - AND WE LOVED IT On November 11, the Sun fired off an X5.1 solar flare - the biggest of 2025 - and hurled a plasma freight train at Earth at 600+ km/s. Twenty-four hours later, it slammed into our magnetosphere like a cosmic battering ram. NASA’s model shows it perfectly: Earth, a tiny blue marble at the center… Red zones whipping past like solar shrapnel… Magnetic field lines bending, twisting, screaming under the impact. This is what a geomagnetic storm looks like when the universe decides to remind you who’s in charge. The fallout? Satellites jitter. GPS drifts. HF comms get scrambled. And the sky throws a rave - auroras blooming far south of where they have any business being. With the Sun climbing toward peak activity, this won’t be the last hit. Expect more storms, more skyfire, and at least one “Why is the aurora over Chicago?” moment before 2026 is done. Source: Black Hole

One of the most secure places during the last geomagnetic excursion and the civilziational collapse was this large underground city in Turkey known as Derinkuyu, built, in my opinion, before the Bronze Age Collapse. It was accidentally discovered by a man in Turkey who was renovating his basement in 1963. The tunnel led to a vast underground network—an underground city that could have housed 20,000 people along with their livestock. Of course, this was built by the elite, and it was in a perfect location and at an ideal elevation. Why a perfect place? You need to read my posts about safe places during geomagnetic excursions and local magnetic fields.
