A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official ...

Black holes are usually cast as cosmic dead ends, places where matter and information vanish without a trace. A new ...

Black holes are usually framed as the ultimate dead ends of the universe, but a new mathematical proposal suggests they might ...

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second. The signal, known as ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

WASHINGTON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The conventional wisdom among astronomers is that black holes - those exceptionally dense objects with gravity so powerful that not even light can escape - form in the ...

To solve the mysteries of black holes, a human should just venture into one. However, there is a rather complicated catch: A human can do this only if the respective black hole is supermassive and ...

The study of symmetries in black hole spacetimes has provided profound insights into the fundamental dynamics governing these enigmatic astrophysical objects. By identifying both explicit and hidden ...

The universe is big, weird, and filled with unexpected things. It’s the reason we send space probes to far reaches of our solar system and into deep space, it’s the reason we build telescopes, and ...

A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions by calculating the fifth post-Minkowskian (5PM) order, crucial for ...

The lives of galaxies can be extended if their supermassive black holes that provide them with "hearts and lungs" to support their "breathing" and prevent them from growing too large. That is the ...
