Fundamental forces are different depending on the region of space!

Data collected from a quasar 13 billion light-years away suggest a discrepancy between measurements of fundamental forces on Earth and those in that region.

Scientists have observed over time the existence of four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force. A study that gathered data from a number of previous studies concluded that electromagnetism has values ​​that vary depending on the region of the universe in which it is measured, and this has a number of implications for how we understand the universe.

Starting from these differences in the values ​​of electromagnetism, scientists have theorized that they have a kind of north and south poles, which show the direction in which these variations can be mapped. "The new study seems to support this idea that there could be a directionality in the Universe, which is really very strange. So the universe may not be isotropic in its physical laws to be the same, statistically, in all directions, ”explains James Webb, a researcher at the University of New South Wales in Australia.



"But, in fact, there could be a certain direction or preferred direction in the Universe where the laws of physics change, but not in a perpendicular direction. In other words, the Universe has, in a certain sense, a dipole structure ", explains the researcher.

The data collected in this study call into question the theories and explanatory models that scientists currently use to explain how the universe evolves and various phenomena occur. "Our standard model of cosmology is based on an isotropic universe, one that is statistically the same in all directions. This standard model is built on Einstein's theory of gravity, which explicitly assumes the constancy of the laws of nature, "adds Webb.

Today 1st May, 1707: Act of union England Scotland

The Act of Union between England and Scotland Historic UK




1st May, 1707, England joined Scotland under the name of Great Britain.

The United Kingdom is commonly called, in Romanian, Great Britain, but this is a major mistake as the UK designates only England, Scotland and Wales. However, the United Kingdom should not be confused with the United Kingdom (before 1801; formed by the unification of the crowns of England and Scotland), nor with England - one of the constituent countries, the modern British state being the result of the union between the monarchies of Great Britain and Ireland.

England’s grievances would be addressed by a new Act of Union


After almost a century, in 1800, the parliament passed the so-called Union Law, by which the name of the country was changed again, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. This enshrined the passage of Ireland under English control, a process that took place gradually between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries. However, internal dissensions over the way Ireland was governed led to the proclamation of Ireland's independence in 1922, which retained a dominion status. The northern part (Northern Ireland) remained part of the United Kingdom, which changed the name of the state to its current form, by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
