Black holes are terrifying stellar objects. Not only do they feed off the energy of stars, but there is just so much we don’t know about them. In fact, we’ve only recently even captured our first image of a black hole. Now, though, scientists at NASA have allowed us to check off yet another question about these celestial objects: What does a black hole sound like? The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy…

Warner Bros. Amid the bloodthirsty culling of DC projects that’s happened since new Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav took over, superhero fans at last have some good news to cling onto.

The project was first announced to be coming after Birds of Prey arrived in early 2020, in which Jurnee Smollett made her debut as Dinah Lance. Things have been a bit quiet…

Image via 20th Century Studios James Cameron, director of such quaint short films as Titanic (194 minutes), The Abyss (140 minutes), and Avatar (162 minutes), has let audiences know that he will not be putting up with complaints about the runtime of Avatar: The Way of Avatar. The sequel has been over a decade in the making, and that period of time has seemingly made James Cameron even more forthright about movie lengths.

More than 50 years ago Polish-American mathematician Mark Kac popularized a zany but mathematically deep question in his 1966 paper “Can One Hear the Shape of a Drum?” In other words, if you hear someone beat a drum, and you know the frequencies of the sounds it makes, can you work backward to figure out the shape of the drum that created those sounds? Or can more than one drum shape create the exact same set of frequencies? Kac wasn’t the first person to pose this or related questions, but he garnered considerable…

The Verge reports that the Supreme Court has denied Apple's request for a hearing to potentially invalidate two Qualcomm patents that played key roles in 2017 attempts to ban Apple Watch, iPad and iPhone sales over allegedly infringing modem technology. The court didn't explain why it rejected the request, but a Justice Department amicus brief from May argued that there was no evidence to indicate the patents were…
