A new theoretical study suggests that dying stars may not always form black holes — instead, the collapse could spark the birth of an entirely new universe inside an exotic object never before confirmed. Researchers studying hundreds of parrot recordings have found compelling evidence that these birds use specific names for specific individuals, placing them in a remarkably exclusive club of communicators. A sweeping reanalysis is challenging one of ecology's most celebrated stories, casting doubt on just how dramatically wolves reshaped Yellowstone. Plus, a newly discovered biological clock unlike anything seen before may rewrite our understanding of how living things grow and develop.
