Time appears five times slower in early universe: Study

Scientists have used quasars, bright cosmic objects, as "clocks" to confirm that time appears to run five times slower in the early universe. This phenomenon, known as cosmological time dilation, was predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity. Quasars, which are supermassive black holes at the centers of distant galaxies, proved to be more difficult to use as cosmic clocks compared to supernovas. However, recent advances in statistical understanding and the analysis of quasar data allowed researchers to measure time dilation and confirm Einstein's theory.

Tim Friede: Man bitten by snakes hundreds of times helps create broad antivenom

Tim Friede, a self-taught snake enthusiast, endured hundreds of venomous bites, enabling researchers to develop a potentially groundbreaking antivenom. His unique antibodies could help treat snakebite victims globally, particularly in India, by neutralizing toxins across multiple snake species.
