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.

Astronomers captured the universe’s brightest, longest-lasting stellar explosions, where massive stars are torn apart by ...

A team of astronomers led by Michael Janssen (Radboud University, The Netherlands) has trained a neural network with millions ...

Was the “Big Bang” a cosmic rebound? New study suggests the Universe may have started inside a giant black hole.

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

The three-dimensional world of ordinary experience—the universe filled with galaxies, stars, planets, houses, boulders, and ...

Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...

At least, that’s the conclusion of an international team of researchers that applied geometric structures inspired by particle physics and string theory to the behavior of black holes when the ...

Using a new regulator, we examine 't Hooft's approach for evaluating black hole entropy through a statistical-mechanical counting of states for a scalar field propagating outside the event horizon. We ...

Supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies emit radiation and ultra-fast winds into space. Here is an artist's visualization. Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech. Scientists may be a step closer to ...
