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 ...

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 ...

If it’s true, this work could have ramifications for some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including learning where ...

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 ...

This puzzle was solved a few years later by Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein, who proposed that black holes have entropy based on their surface area. The larger the black hole, the more ...

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 ...

“No one seriously disputes the initial setup of the puzzle: that information exists, and that the information (and entropy) does in fact go into the black hole both when it’s first created and ...

In our work, we discovered a quantum Penrose inequality that applies to all known examples of quantum black holes, even in the presence of strong quantum effects. The quantum Penrose inequality limits ...
