Is Einstein’s theory of gravity still relevant — we put it to its toughest test yet We counted 20 billion ticks of an extreme galactic clock and this is what we found Pulsars: nature’s gravity labs In 2003, astronomers at CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope, Murriyang, in New South Walesdiscovereda double pulsar system 2,400 light years away that offers a perfect opportunity to study general relativity under extreme conditions. To understand what makes this system so special, imagine a star 500,000 times as heavy as Earth, yet only 20 kilometers across....

Is it a car? Is it a motorbike? No, it’s an autocycle! Not quite a motorcycle, not quite a car What is an autocycle? Legally, an autocycle is a three-wheeled, typically enclosed vehicle, that, as the name suggests, is essentially part motorcycle and part car. Let’s compare it to a three-wheel motorbike: According to theNational Conference of State Legislatures(NCSL) there are several key three-wheel motorcycle characteristics By comparison, autocycles are defined by a number of key characteristics:...
