  • Three body problem?

    We set out to tackle the nagging limitations of the classic three-body problem. For too long, models, while foundational, felt… incomplete. How could we truly capture the dance of celestial bodies when we were consciously overlooking so many of the subtle, yet undeniably crucial, influences? Things like the YORP effect gently twisting an asteroid, or…

  • A Unified Framework for Black Hole Flares and Outflows Across Cosmic Scales

    Decoding Black Hole Outbursts: A Quest for a Universal Explanation “Black holes, in their diverse sizes from stellar remnants to galactic giants, are known to produce energetic flares and outflows. This paper explores the possibility that these seemingly disparate events are governed by a common underlying mechanism. It revisits existing models and identifies areas needing…

  • Theoretical Blueprint for a Tabletop Acoustic Analog Black Hole Operating at Room Temperature to Investigate Quantum-like Phenomena

    Blueprint for an Accessible Acoustic Black Hole: Exploring Quantum Analogs at Room Temperature “Inspired by the complexity and inaccessibility of studying real black holes, this work presents a theoretical model for a tabletop acoustic analog designed for operation at room temperature. The blueprint leverages affordable 3D-printing techniques and common gases to construct a system capable…
