A team of scientists has developed a recipe for black holes that eliminates one of the most troubling aspects of physics: the central singularity, the point at which all our theories, laws and models ...

What lurks at the center of a black hole? Studying the space-time ripples from black hole collisions could reveal an answer. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Everything that falls into a black hole falls in at the same time. Perhaps in the distant past, some unfortunate alien astronaut was sent past the event horizon to explore what lies beyond. From our ...

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 ...

Can we do away with the troublesome singularity at the heart of black holes? A new paper in JCAP reimagines these extreme objects in light of current knowledge. “Hic sunt leones,” remarks Stefano ...

Cosmologists have long treated black holes and the Big Bang as separate extremes of physics, one swallowing light, the other ...

A substance called antimatter is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. We know that every particle has an antimatter companion that is virtually identical to itself, but with ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...
