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

For decades, black holes have stood as the most enigmatic objects in the universe, defying our understanding of space, time, ...

According to the theory, our reality is encoded on the boundary of a black hole within a much larger universe.

Astronomers have detected spacetime itself being dragged and twisted by a spinning black hole for the first time. The ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when all of space, time, and energy were born from a single infinitely dense ...

When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But ...

Imagine you’re standing in front of a closed door. Behind it is a teenager’s bedroom, and your task is to rate how messy it is on a scale of 1 to 10. But here’s the twist: you can’t open the door – ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

In any other year, the supermassive black hole mentioned above would probably scoop the award for most striking outburst, but not in 2025. This year, that accolade goes to a flare designated ...

Astronomers have made a truly mind-boggling discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): a runaway black hole 10 ...

Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...
