Space-time may hide a bizarre new kind of black hole that causes Einstein’s theory of gravity to fail – and could solve the ...

Black holes are one of the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the universe, predicted by the theory of general relativity formulated by Albert Einstein. They are regions in space where the ...

In 1963, Roy Kerr, a New Zealand-based mathematician proposed a set of equations that explain the properties of rotating black holes as per Einstein’s theory of general relativity. These ...

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

Supermassive black holes, predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity, can have masses equal to billions of suns; these cosmic monsters likely hide at the centers of most galaxies.

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

Science isn't everyone's cup of tea but when it comes to films like Interstellar (2014) (or 2020's Tenet for that matter), ...

A new analysis of M87*, the first black hole imaged by humanity, has revealed turbulence in the matter around it, which this ...

In an article published in Physical Review Letters on Thursday, scientists carried out an innovative study testing the ...

But why do we care? Black holes are cast-iron predictions of general relativity, Einstein’s peerless theory of gravity, and yet they stretch it to breaking point. General relativity says that ...
