A plot of all objects in the universe (2023)
A chart in the American Journal of Physics illustrates all composite objects in the universe, including humans and whales, and suggests the universe may be viewed as a black hole.
Read original article
A recent article in the American Journal of Physics presents a chart that aims to depict all composite objects in the universe in a single 2D plot. This chart includes a variety of entities such as protons, atoms, life forms, asteroids, moons, planets, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, and even the universe itself. Notably, humans are represented by a mass of 70 kg and a radius of 50 cm, while whales are depicted with a mass of 10^5 kg and a radius of 7 m. The chart also features sections labeled “sub-Planckian unknown” and “forbidden by gravity,” which are categorized as “unphysical regions.” One of the authors of the study suggests that the overall representation may imply that the universe itself could be viewed as a black hole. This intriguing conjecture adds a layer of complexity to the understanding of the universe's structure and nature. The article highlights the creative and thought-provoking nature of the visualization, inviting readers to ponder the implications of such a comprehensive representation of all objects in the universe.

Scientists may have found an answer to the mystery of dark matter
Scientists research dark matter, an invisible substance crucial for understanding the universe. Recent studies propose primordial black holes as a solution, suggesting they could account for dark matter and be detected by gravitational wave detectors.
Ensemble Mathematical Universe Hypothesis
The Mathematical Universe Hypothesis (MUH) posits the universe as a mathematical entity, facing critiques on assigning probabilities to infinite structures and conflicts with Gödel's theorem. Tegmark defends MUH's computability and links it to multiverse theories, amid debates on testability and radical Platonism.
