Could reality be made of more dimensions than those we perceive? The question has consumed some of the most brilliant physics ...

When stars cease to fuse hydrogen at the end of their lifetime, they collapse in on themselves, condensing into a ...

For obvious reasons, we do not know what the inside of a black hole looks like. But thanks to theoretical physics, we can ask ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

In October 2024 the network detected a clear signal that pointed back to a merger that occurred 700 million light-years away.

"It may take decades before we find out what really happens in black holes." Reports of the singularity's demise may have been premature. Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution ...

Black holes, once considered mere mathematical curiosities, have evolved into a central theme in modern astrophysics. Their study not only illuminates the frontiers of gravitational physics but also ...

New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an event horizon, potentially solving some of the biggest paradoxes in black ...

Penrose proved black holes a consequence of Einstein theory Genzel and Ghez discovered black hole at heart of Milky Way American Ghez becomes fourth woman to win Physics prize The centre of black ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A black hole is a terrifying concept, but the mysterious nexus of ...

Talk about epic. A collision of two black holes is so extreme that it’s challenging physics theories of how large black holes form and merge. The two black holes had masses bigger than any before ...
