Burrowing black holes devoured first stars from within - New Scientist
Now Cosimo Bambi of the University of Tokyo in Japan and colleagues have shown that these black holes could also have destroyed the universe's first stars by eating them from the inside out.

Earth Not Center Of The Universe, Surrounded By 'Dark Energy'
"In 1998, studies of distant explosions called "type Ia supernovae" indicated that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating, an observation attributed to the repulsive force of a mysterious "dark energy." However, some scientists put forward an alternate theory: They proposed that the Earth was near the centre of a giant "bubble," or "void," mostly empty of matter, and strongly violating the Copernican Principle. If this were the case, gravity would create the illusion of acceleration, mimicking the effect of dark energy on the supernova observations."

One famous example of gravitational lensing is Einstein's cross (QSO2237+0305). It is a single quasar that exists nearly 8 billion light-years from Earth. But, due to a galaxy only 400 million light years from here in the line of sight of the quasar, it appears as four distinct images.

Burrowing black holes devoured first stars from within - New Scientist
Now Cosimo Bambi of the University of Tokyo in Japan and colleagues have shown that these black holes could also have destroyed the universe's first stars by eating them from the inside out.

Earth Not Center Of The Universe, Surrounded By 'Dark Energy'
"In 1998, studies of distant explosions called "type Ia supernovae" indicated that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating, an observation attributed to the repulsive force of a mysterious "dark energy." However, some scientists put forward an alternate theory: They proposed that the Earth was near the centre of a giant "bubble," or "void," mostly empty of matter, and strongly violating the Copernican Principle. If this were the case, gravity would create the illusion of acceleration, mimicking the effect of dark energy on the supernova observations."

One famous example of gravitational lensing is Einstein's cross (QSO2237+0305). It is a single quasar that exists nearly 8 billion light-years from Earth. But, due to a galaxy only 400 million light years from here in the line of sight of the quasar, it appears as four distinct images.

Burrowing black holes devoured first stars from within - New Scientist
Now Cosimo Bambi of the University of Tokyo in Japan and colleagues have shown that these black holes could also have destroyed the universe's first stars by eating them from the inside out.

Earth Not Center Of The Universe, Surrounded By 'Dark Energy'
"In 1998, studies of distant explosions called "type Ia supernovae" indicated that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating, an observation attributed to the repulsive force of a mysterious "dark energy." However, some scientists put forward an alternate theory: They proposed that the Earth was near the centre of a giant "bubble," or "void," mostly empty of matter, and strongly violating the Copernican Principle. If this were the case, gravity would create the illusion of acceleration, mimicking the effect of dark energy on the supernova observations."

One famous example of gravitational lensing is Einstein's cross (QSO2237+0305). It is a single quasar that exists nearly 8 billion light-years from Earth. But, due to a galaxy only 400 million light years from here in the line of sight of the quasar, it appears as four distinct images.
