Gravitational waves reveal most massive black hole merger ever detected — one 'forbidden' by current models
Gravitational wave detectors have "heard" the ripples in space caused by the most massive black hole merger yet. One "forbidden" by current theoretical models.
'This is the holy grail of theoretical physics.' Is the key to quantum gravity hiding in this new way to make black holes?
A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.
Did our cosmos begin inside a black hole in another universe? New study questions Big Bang theory
A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have instead formed inside a colossal black hole.
This supermassive black hole is eating way too quickly — and 'burping' at near-light speeds
Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.
Nobel laureate concerned about AI-generated image of black hole at the center of our galaxy
Researchers used an AI model to create a new image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, with some concern from experts.
New technique promises clearer, more frequent views of black holes
A powerful new technique is poised to revolutionize how astronomers observe black holes, by producing sharp, multicolored images that could reveal their dynamic evolution in real time.
Tiny ‘primordial’ black holes created in the Big Bang may have rapidly grown to supermassive sizes
Supermassive black holes that seem too large to exist in the early universe may have grown from primordial black holes formed in the first second after the Big Bang.
Mysterious radio pulses detected high above Antarctica may be evidence of an exotic new particle, scientists say
A mystery signal detected high in the sky above Antarctica defies current models of physics and could represent a new particle, scientists say.
