Einstein’s “spooky action” just survived one of physics’ most extreme tests - Science Daily

Rob Diaz from Mad Science of NYC & Westchester joins 'Fox & Friends Weekend' to demonstrate spooky Halloween science experiments, including bubbling dry ice potions and a giant fog explosion. Spooky Halloween science experiments take over the set of 'Fox & Friends Weekend' as Rob Diaz from Mad Science of NYC & Westchester demonstrates how to make bubbling potions. Diaz utilizes dry ice, warm water, and soap to create low-lying fog and giant bubbling columns. The co-hosts participate in these frightful 100-percent kid-friendly demonstrations perfect for families this October.

Short gamma-ray bursts, or short GRBs, are believed to occur when two compact objects, such as neutron stars, spiral toward one another before colliding and merging. These extraordinarily violent events produce gravitational waves and rank among the most powerful explosions in the Universe. For decades, astronomers have mainly detected these events through their gamma-ray flashes. Their earliest soft X-ray emission has been far more difficult to observe because most narrow-field X-ray telescopes depend on gamma-ray alerts to locate a burst before turning toward it. Einstein Probe's wide-field soft X-ray monitoring has now exposed this previously unseen stage, giving astronomers a direct look at the opening moments of a short GRB.
