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 Earth would become a black hole. For those who want to know more: black holes warp space-time. It is as if they were tearing deep troughs in an imaginary net in which space and time are interwoven ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Space-time, the so-called fabric of physical reality, may be made of tiny, discrete pieces stitched together. A preliminary analysis of the way matter orbits quasars suggests we could find ...

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.

But on their way to the moon and planets the children's rockets go wrong and whizz through space-time ... ‘hole’ shapes for other group members to travel through, to suggest a black hole ...

And by ejecting these particles, black holes will shrink over a very long time, eventually evaporate ... while the other gets ejected into space, leaving behind a cloud called Hawking radiation.

But sci-fi films are more optimistic, depicting black holes as portals through space and time or gateways to other dimensions. And it turns out, some scientists now think the sci-fi buffs may be ...
