Greg Vendetti steamrolled an outclassed but game Michael Anderson last night to win an easy 12 round decision. The final scores were 120-106, 120-108, and 120-108. The Boston super-welterweight unleashed a bruising, relentless body attack throughout the match and, as a result of the win, moves his pro record to 22-3-1 with 12 KO's. Although Anderson survived until the final bell, he struggled desperately to survive in most rounds, and reached the finish line with both eyes badly swollen. Читать дальше...

By now, merging black holes and the gravitational waves they produce are a scientific surety. Astronomers have observed several black hole mergers, all between stellar-mass black holes less than 100 times the mass of our sun. But no mergers between supermassive black holes, those with masses millions or billions times that of our star, have ever been seen; and in fact, astronomers wonder how likely such a smash-up would be.

Black holes have long served as fodder for science fiction and for good reason. These unimaginably dense objects contain so much matter trapped in such a small volume that their gravity is strong enough to prevent even light from escaping their surfaces.Although the first prediction of a black hole was made nearly 250 years ago by the English philosopher and clergyman John Michell, the first black hole candidate, Cygnus X-1, wasn't discovered until 1971.
