![]() “Paradoxical, Intriguing, Frightening” –The Black Hole Bigger Than Our Solar System The researchers deployed supercomputers with new algorithms that correct the effect of the Earth’s ionosphere every four seconds. We had to invent new methods to convert the radio signals into images of the sky,” said de Gasperin of the effort created by combining 256 hours of observations of the northern sky. ![]() ![]() “This is the result of many years of work on incredibly difficult data. ![]() The astronomers, including Leiden astronomers, used 52 stations with LOFAR antennas spread across nine European countries. The map, to be published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, is the most detailed celestial map in the field of so-called low radio frequencies. One of the largest known black hole in the observable universe is powering the quasar TON 618 with a mass of 66 billion solar masses, leading to conjectures that even larger objects exist either within or beyond the observable universe, and to question if there is any upper limit to their sizes.Ī Behemoth –“That Brings an End to Time and Space and the Laws of Physics”Īn international team of astronomers, led by Francesco de Gasperin (formerly with Leiden University, now University of Hamburg), announced the completion of a map of the sky–that to an untrained eye, appears to contain thousands of stars, but they are actually supermassive black holes–showing over 25,000 of these monster objects, each located in a different, distant galaxy. In 2020, a team of scientists, led by Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University, London, Bernard Carr and Florian Kuhnel, who holds the Chair on Cosmology at the Arnold Sommerfeld Center for Theoretical Physics proposed that the behemoths lurking at the centers of galaxies could reach “stupendously large” sizes–where they would be like a mini, galaxy-sized Big Bang.” “Stupendously Large” Black Holes - A Mini, Galaxy-sized Big Bang The objective of this book is to document and preserve the heritage of the monster truck industry and to give credit to those individuals whose contributions have been largely unrecognized but which played a significant role in achieving the spectacular level of technology and performance witnessed by millions of fans globally today.The Nobel-Prize laurate, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in “The Mathematical Theory of Black Holes” (for whom NASA’s Chandra Space Observatory was named), described supermassive black holes as “the most perfect objects there are in the universe –the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space and time.” Some have described these cosmic monsters as the “Gates of Hell” and others as “gateways to another universe” and the largest hard disk that exists in nature, in two dimensions. Uniquely, Monster Truck Technology – The Definitive History of Monster Truck Evolution does not rely upon high resolution staged photos and instead provides exhaustive factual information depicting raw images which are true to the very nature of the developments themselves. This book delineates how the monster truck is not a singular creation, but instead the sum of many technologies orchestrated in such a manner to achieve purposes which, like the vehicles themselves, have evolved over time. ![]() Such quarrels are often flawed as they are largely based on the fundamental presumption that the monster truck is a static concept in terms of both composition and purpose. In addition, the author also presents early examples of previously unknown variations of the concept which predate the establishment of the term.įor decades there have been persistent debates concerning various aspects of the creation of the monster truck. For the first time anywhere, the reader is provided not only with a step by step chronology of technological advancements in key areas such as monster truck tires, axles, chassis, suspension, and drivetrain but equally important, the context in which they were created. In the book, Monster Truck Technology – The Definitive History of Monster Truck Evolution author Marty Garza takes the reader on a detailed historical journey through the various phases of monster truck development. From humble origins, for over four decades and multiple stages of development, monster trucks have evolved from a backyard hobby to a billion-dollar industry due in large part to the efforts and ingenuity of many unsung heroes. ![]()
