The minnie_activity_12color image presents a selection of more than 1,000 brain cells from the 120,000 neurons and glial cells reconstructed in the MICrONS project. Each neuron is rendered in a distinct color to emphasize its individual structure. The glowing elements in the image correspond to the colored neurons.

Paradigm shift: New research proposes black holes eventually transform into white holes—cosmic structures that release rather than consume matter and energy. This theoretical model establishes a relationship between time, dark energy, and cosmic expansion, potentially bridging fundamental gaps between gravitational and quantum theories by Dr. Steffen Gielen, Astronomer, UK

From Black Holes to White Holes: A New Vision of Cosmic Time

Self portrait: Image credit: Dr. Steffen Gielen From Black Holes to White Holes: A New Vision of Cosmic Time What if black holes—long feared as the universe’s ultimate traps—aren’t dead ends at all, but doorways to new realms of space and time? This provocative question drives a groundbreaking theory co-authored by Dr. Steffen Gielen of
