Einstein's theory of general relativity describes the inevitability of singularities, which are obscured by black holes ...

From missing links, to primordial beginnings, to extremely powerful plasma jets that could be shaping our universe in ...

Space, with its vast, mysterious, and often terrifying nature, has long captivated humanity’s imagination. As we continue to ...

Recent studies suggest quantum mechanics supports cosmic censorship, reinforcing black holes' role in hiding singularities.

The researchers found that the emitted dark matter would ring space-time like a bell around the black hole. It would not be as strong of a signal as the ones that come from black hole mergers ...

As black holes slowly vanish through Hawking radiation, their information may be preserved in subtle space-time ripples, a new theory suggests. Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event ...

Black holes fascinate both the public and scientists—they push the limits of our understanding about matter, space and time. Scientists at the University of Chicago and across the world have made many ...

2024 — Supermassive black holes typically take billions of years to form. But the James Webb Space Telescope is finding them not that long after the Big Bang -- before they should have had time ...

The edge of the black hole is thus a region of space and time that expressly forbids interlopers. That's a recipe for mystery. And we all love a mystery, especially scientists. This is compounded ...

The James Webb Space Telescope ... explain a dormant black hole with periods of hyperactivity, but these short bursts allow it to grow quickly while spending most of its time napping," Maiolino ...

Black holes form when a huge amount of matter is squeezed into a very small space. Cram enough matter ... appear to form at the same time as the galaxies that condense around them.
