Physicists have started to treat a once-fringe idea with surprising seriousness: that our entire observable universe might be ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Einstein's general theory of relativity, published in 1915, relates spacetime curvature to matter distribution, leading to the Schwarzschild solution describing a black hole. The Schwarzschild ...

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 ...
