Black Holes
1. Is the universe a 2D hologram? The US Department of Energy (USDE) launched an experiment to find this out earlier this year using its "Holometer". Researchers said that characters on a T…
Perhaps the source "is a dwarf galaxy that contains a supermassive black hole, or is the nucleus of a disrupted galaxy or even just an isolated black hole,” Heino Falcke, a radio astronomer and …
“The discovery of these supermassive black holes, which launch jets that emit more energy in one second than our sun will produce in its entire lifetime, was the culmination of a yearlong research pr…
Impossibly dense, deep, and powerful, black holes reveal the limits of physics. Nothing can escape one, not even light. Even though black holes excite the imagination like few other concepts in scien…
What happens to a black hole when it collides with another black hole? This new model shows you closely. The question of just what could possibly happen when two black holes come across at a very ver…
The acknowledged understanding between gravitational researchers has been that space-time cannot turn into turbulent. New study from Perimeter, however, illustrates that the acknowledged understandin…
This supercomputer simulation demonstrates one of the greatest powerful occasions in the universe: a pair of neutron stars striking, merging and creating a black hole. A neutron star is the dense cor…
SCIENTISTS have managed to prove that event horizons of a black hole are real and that matter disappears when it crosses such a point. Once matter crosses the event horizon of a black hole it is unab…
Astronomers have discovered the oldest supermassive black hole ever found — a behemoth that grew to 800 million times the mass of the sun when the universe was just 5 percent of its current age, a ne…
The appearance of supermassive black holes at the dawn of the universe has puzzled astronomers since their discovery more than a decade ago. A supermassive black hole is thought to form over billions…
A new mathematical solution shows that the past of an object inside certain black holes can be erased and that this does not determine its future. So the saying that you can learn from your past and …
Astrophysicists have found an out-of-place supermassive black hole -- 12 billion times more enormous than the sun -- that mysteriously formed when the cosmos was less than 900 million years old. Such…
Typically, one imagines a black hole as sort of a gigantic cosmic pit that sucks in everything around it. But physicists say a new kind of space structure is possible that allows some information to …
A study on dozens of galaxies within several billion light years of our own has revealed black holes that far exceed our expectations on just how big these monsters can grow. The discovery not only h…
