The universe appeared “a kind of time machine”-Information Technology

That is the claim of an international team of scientists when studying supernova 2014C, a type of cosmic monster known to have the ability to “bend” space-time.

According to SciTech Daily, a team of scientists led by Dr. Benjamin Thomas from the University of Texas at Austin (USA) used data from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) at the university’s McDonald Observatory to solve the years-controversial mystery of supernovas.

When an exploding star – or supernova – is detected, scientists will see how its light changes over time: getting brighter, then peaking, and then starting to dim. By noting the times of the “peaks” and “concaves” on the light graph, they were able to infer the physical characteristics of the system.

But there’s an absurdity here: a supernova is inherently a sudden, explosive moment. They should have seen that moment of maximum brightness immediately, followed by the fading explosion phase. The light that emanated before the actual explosion took place, was a defiant specter.

In a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal, the team demonstrated that the “ghosts of light” that preceded the explosion were indeed things that had traveled beyond time.

Dr. Thomas said scientists had long observed light emitted from matter being released from the precursor system first, and then saw the moment of the explosion – when the matter was on its way to “dig up”. pipe”.

Thus, once again 2014C has helped prove that supernova has enough power to “bend” spacetime and make people see images as if sent through a time machine. It is clear that the type of light emitted by matter from the supernova is so strong that it has made the leap, reaching Earth faster than normal light.

Powerful Type Ib supernovas like 2014C contain a lot of hydrogen, which was once known as a “light curve” matter that behaves strangely compared to other matter. So those are most likely things that have traveled on a “time machine”. The discovery also helps reveal the unusual “configuration” of dead stars that give rise to similar supernovae, helping to explain many physics mysteries about how a star dies.
