Astronomers usually detect black holes by looking for X-rays. When gas and dust fall toward a black hole, they heat up and ...

A wormhole, also known as an Einstein–Rosen bridge, is a hypothetical structure predicted by Einstein’s general theory of ...

A Star Trek–inspired idea by Miguel Alcubierre kicked off decades of theory and experiments as scientists pursue plausible ...

NASA has visualized the cataclysm, which is thought to have caused a mysterious eruption of gamma rays captured by telescopes ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

Surprisingly, some of the universe's brightest objects are black holes. As scorching gas and dust flow around and into a ...

Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity, may not be the best recipe to describe black holes. New research suggests future images of black holes could be precise enough to allow ...

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 ...

If you’re chronically online (and, honestly, who isn’t?), you’ve probably noticed a new trend on TikTok. People are claiming that the white rabbit came to get them. The idea of a white rabbit coming ...

A black hole can feel like the most distant and unreal object you could ever think about, yet the way its darkness bends light may one day speak directly to the deepest parts of physics. If you have ...

Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes at the center of the galaxy M87 and our Milky Way, published a few years ...
