Researchers at the University of Sheffield have published a study suggesting that black hole could undergo a transition into its theoretical counterpart, a white hole. Black holes possess such immense ...

Ten years after the first detection of gravitational waves, scientists have captured the clearest signal yet — and it confirms one of Stephen Hawking’s most famous predictions. Using the upgraded LIGO ...

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 ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have highlighted the central role of chaotic dynamics in understanding black hole phenomena and string theory. Chaotic behaviour, characterised by a sensitive ...

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 ...

Abstract: Black holes are often portrayed as cosmic vacuum cleaners that swallow everything, even light. In reality, they are far richer and more revealing: each black hole is a natural laboratory ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

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 ...

“Under the right conditions, this collapse doesn’t end in a singularity — instead, it bounces and begins expanding again,” said University of Portsmouth professor Enrique Gaztañaga in a statement that ...
