The famous black hole M87 keeps surprising us. New research calculates its spin speed to be at 80% of the theoretical limit, ...

If the Big Bang actually happened inside a black hole, it could neatly explain some of the universe's biggest mysteries.

One, the volume contained within black holes represents the absolute greatest amount of entropy that any similarly sized volume in the universe can have. Put another way, black holes are spheres ...

Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for the cold dark matter of the universe are primordial black holes—black holes ...

"The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula, which describes the thermodynamics of black holes, was discovered in the 1970s," Vijay Balasubramanian, co-author of the paper, told Phys.org.

Supermassive black holes could act as natural particle accelerators, helping humanity investigate dark matter.

The first major clue came in the late 1990s when theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena calculated the entropy of a black hole. In a nutshell, this calculation of the entropy was a count of all the ...

For an external observer, information about the entropy of the black hole, once borne by the three dimensional structure of ...

You start running into less solid physics when Cox starts discussing black hole entropy. It's absolutely true that the surface area of a black hole, at least according to theory, scales exactly ...
