The study of black holes has long been at the forefront of gravitational physics, and recent advances have significantly enriched our understanding of these enigmatic objects within the framework of ...

Holographic models have emerged as a powerful framework for bridging disparate areas of physics through the gauge/gravity duality. This approach enables researchers to explore complex phenomena in ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that black ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) has detected new gravitational waves from a merger that resulted in a black hole 63 times the mass of our sun. Interestingly, it was ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these ...

A decade ago, the first gravitational waves confirmed that black holes collide. Telescopes soon revealed shadows of giants lurking at galaxy cores. The next frontier is stranger: tiny black holes from ...

When two black holes collide and merge, they release gravitational waves. These waves can be detected by sensitive instruments on Earth, allowing scientists to determine the mass and spin of the black ...

A research team at the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) announces a significant observational test of the black-hole “area law” using the gravitational-wave event GW230814. In 1971, physicist Stephen ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

In March 1974, Stephen Hawking published the paper that made his name. It contained the revelation that black holes – gravitational giants from which nothing, not even light, can escape – don’t grow ...

Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these mysterious objects. A new study details the “clearest ...
