- Dark Matter Theories Suggest Hidden Mirror World and Origins at the Edge of the Universe 5 August 2025Two new studies from UC Santa Cruz propose that dark matter may have originated from a hidden mirror world or been radiated into existence by the universe’s expanding cosmic horizon. These theories, rooted in established physics, challenge traditional models and suggest dark matter could exist without interacting with ordinary matter, redefining one of modern scienc...
- Sun Erupts with Triple Solar Flares After Weeks of Silence 5 August 2025After a 22-day period of solar calm, the Sun unleashed three M-class solar flares on August 3–4, 2025, all originating from active sunspot region AR 4168. These moderate flares released intense radiation, capable of briefly disrupting high-frequency radio signals and potentially sparking auroras at high latitudes. Scientists also detected likely coronal mass eject...
