What is 'boy math'? The latest TikTok trend explained
Over the past few months, the term 'girl math' has been all over social media as women reveal ways they rationalise spending habits so they see them as being 'free' or 'money-saving'. But now a new trend sees the rise of 'boy math' which is all about making of fun men's habits and hypocritical behaviours - with some mathematical references here and there. One popular example from the boy math trend includes when men like to embellish the truth about their height by saying they are 6ft tall when in reality they are actually 5'10. "Boy math is being afraid of gold diggers when you only have 3 pairs of socks to your name," a viral tweet read, while another added: "Boy math is wanting 0 kids but having 0 condoms on hand." @ryan.maxwell22 I found this thread and i am CACKLING. What’s more boy math tho xo @cliffviews90 #Boymath #fypシ One particular tweet noted the hypocrisy of men "putting on a jersey with another grown man's name on it every Sunday, while mocking the Beyhive." While another referenced former president Donald Trump and his denial that he lost the 2020 US presidential election - "Boy math is telling everyone you won an election when you lost by millions of votes." Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also joined in with the boy math trend as the representative for New York's 14th congressional district tweeted one referring to a possible government shutdown if a funding deal isn't agreed upon by representatives before Sunday (October 1). "Boy math is needing 15 attempts to count the votes correctly to become Speaker and then shutting down the government 9 months later," AOC wrote. Elsewhere, a different boy math post went viral on the topic of controversial age gaps - "Boy math is waiting until her 18th birthday, and thinking that doesn't make you a pedophile," it read. The boy math trend has become popular recently, but first began last month Twitter / X, began hypothesizing about "Boy Math" as a response to the girl math trend, according to Know Your Meme.

Scientists confirm that the most iconic black hole in the universe is spinning, in major new discovery
Scientists have confirmed that the first black hole to ever be captured on camera is spinning in a major new discovery. The famous doughnut-shaped M87* black hole, 6.5 billion times more massive than the sun, first drew people’s attention in 2019 for becoming the first void to be pictured. Now, it has been confirmed that the M87* black hole is spinning, but experts have yet to determine just how fast. The announcement was made on 27 September. M87* has been observed for the last two decades via a network of radio telescopes. It is located in the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy, which is around 55 million light-years away from Earth in the Virgo constellation. The instruments monitoring the black hole have observed a powerful jet of radiation and particles being expelled from its poles. According to research, the relativistic jets appeared to be on a kind of pendulum that swings every 11 years, observed over decades. Experts believe this is caused by interactions between gravitational interactions between the black hole and the material making up the disk around it. They say this provides “unequivocal evidence” that the black hole is spinning. Cui Yuzhu, a researcher at Zhejiang Lab in China and the study’s lead author explained in a statement: “We are thrilled by this significant finding,” adding, “Since the misalignment between the black hole and the disk is relatively small and the precession period is around 11 years, accumulating high-resolution data tracing M87’s structure over two decades and thorough analysis are essential to obtain this achievement.” Their findings matched with computer simulations, confirming that the jets emitting from the black hole change direction by around 10 degrees every 11 years.
