The last decade has brought a new way to explore the universe. Gravitational wave astronomy, made possible by observatories ...

Einstein believed that black holes didn't really exist. But they do: that much we know. We don't know much else about them.

Traipse into the world of artificial intelligence research, and it won’t take long to stumble across a concept known as the ...

At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these enigmas, we take what we know about space, time, gravity ...

Most people know that black holes are kind of scary. Admittedly, that's true, but black holes are so much more than that.

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense," study team member Robie Hennigar, a ...

The similarities are too striking to ignore. As we understand them, black holes have a singularity—a point of infinite density—at their heart. If you rewind the cosmic clock, the universe has ...

What if everything we know—the stars, the galaxies, the expanding fabric of space-time—isn’t floating in a limitless void, ...

Scientists have been left stunned after stumbling across a lone black hole drifting through space. It's not every day ...

Instead they’d be fuzzballs: fuzzy balls of vibrating branes that lack the traditional features of black holes—an event horizon (outer boundary) and a singularity (a single point containing ...
