"Unveiling the Mathematical Secrets of Black Hole Reflections in Our Universe"

Astronomers have developed precise mathematical equations that describe the reflections of the Universe in the warped light around a black hole. These equations, developed by physics student Albert Sneppen, reveal that the proximity of each reflection depends on the angle of observation and the rate of the black hole's spin. This breakthrough not only provides a new tool for studying the gravitational environment around black holes but also offers opportunities to test our understanding of gravity. The research could potentially help us study the physics of black hole space-time and the objects behind them through infinite reflections.

Mapping America's Firearm Ecosystem to Identify Solutions for Mass Shootings

Maurizio Porfiri, an engineering professor at New York University, is using mathematical equations to provide insights into gun violence and help policymakers make informed decisions. His team has created mathematical models that can predict gun homicides and sort through different pieces of information, including Twitter, background checks, and Google Trends. Porfiri is also mapping America's "firearm ecosystem" to understand how policies shape individual behavior and how states interact with each other. His research has found that media coverage of gun regulation has a strong causality with gun sales after mass shootings.
