"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

Black holes, these extreme cosmic entities, might well hold the missing clues to solve one of physics' greatest mysteries: ...

Scientists created a giant vortex made of tiny quantum pieces to bring black hole physics down to Earth.

The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible,” Albert Einstein once pondered. But even as ...

But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an event horizon, potentially solving some of the biggest paradoxes in ...

The quantum Penrose inequality limits the energy of space-time in terms of the total entropy – a statistical measure of a system’s disorder – of the black holes and quantum matter contained within it.

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the ...

Scientists reveal new quantum gravity black hole solutions that challenge Einstein’s relativity, offering a step toward a unified theory of physics.

A new recipe for black holes could do away with central singularities, saving the laws of physics from troubling infinities.

At a singularity, the laws of physics as we know them suffer a complete breakdown. So such objects really shouldn’t exist.

A team of scientists has developed a recipe for black holes that eliminates one of the most troubling aspects of physics: the central singularity, the point at which all our theories, laws and ...
