Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

A record-breaking neutrino detection in 2023 may mark the first time humans witnessed a primordial black hole exploding, and these ancient objects could be the dark matter holding galaxies together.

What kind of physics is happening inside a black hole? Scientists have a lot of ideas, but taking any concrete measurements is borderline impossible—that is, unless you want to be spaghettified or ...

A visionary plan proposes sending a paperclip-sized spacecraft, powered by Earth-based lasers, to a nearby black hole within a century. Led by astrophysicist Cosimo Bambi, the mission would test the ...

Dive into a realm of mind-bending theories that postulate black holes as cosmic cradles, potentially birthing new universes. This exploration will take us through the intricacies of black holes, the ...

It sounds like science fiction: a spacecraft, no heavier than a paperclip, propelled by a laser beam and hurtling through space at the speed of light toward a black hole, on a mission to probe the ...

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 ...

STOCKHOLM — The 2020 Nobel Prize for physics has been awarded to Briton Roger Penrose, German Reinhard Genzel and American Andrea Ghez for advancing our understanding of black holes. Penrose proved ...

The Warhammer 40,000 setting contains some pretty advanced technology. Blackstone Fortresses can destroy entire solar systems. The Aeonic Orb contains the power of an entire sun. And — get this — the ...

Violent black hole collisions may create black hole 'morsels' no larger than an asteroid — and these bizarre objects could pave the way to unlocking new physics, a study claims. When you purchase ...
