Here's another one for the 'black holes are weird' file: a team of mathematicians has calculated that some black holes in an expanding Universe like ours can press the reset button on the history of their contents, effectively erasing the past and turning the future into a giant question...
Since ancient times, people have marveled at the moon, worshipped the moon, written songs about the moon — and wondered how it came to be.
In recent decades the scientific consensus has been that the moon formed billions of years ago from debris cast off when a Mars-sized object dealt...
