Physicists recreate black hole energy extraction in the lab

More than 50 years ago, physicist Sir Roger Penrose proposed a remarkable idea: under the right conditions, it might be possible to extract energy from a rapidly spinning black hole. In his concept, a particle entering the black hole's ergosphere, a region where spacetime is dragged along by the object's rotation, could split into two. One fragment would fall into the black hole while the other escaped carrying away more energy than the original particle. Later, physicist Yakov Zel'dovich expanded on this concept, predicting that waves interacting with an object rotating fast enough could also gain energy and become amplified.

The 7 best open-world fantasy RPG games to play like Avowed

According to a Bloomberg report this week, a new Fallout game is coming from Obsidian Entertainment, the developers responsible for Fallout: New Vegas.
