For decades, astronomers have known that supermassive black holes lurk at the hearts of essentially all large galaxies, ...

What is required to defy the laws of cosmic evolution? On November 23, 2023, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration observed a gravitational wave signal so remarkable that it compelled ...

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 ...

Cosmologists have long treated black holes and the Big Bang as separate extremes of physics, one swallowing light, the other ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e., points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the “Infinity” galaxy — two recently-collided galaxies that, together, look like the symbol for ...

New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful magnetic forces act on a collapsing, spinning star, they eject vast amounts of ...

The puzzle of how supermassive black holes grew so large just after the Big Bang could soon be solved. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Look, we know your parents always told you not to climb into strange people’s cars ... but what if we told you it was a double-wide trailer meant to mimic the “physics and spiritual properties” of ...

A pair of newly-discovered record-breaking black holes has scientists simultaneously popping the champagne and scratching their heads. The massive duo are the largest ever recorded at the Laser ...

(Nanowerk News) Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down.
