Moreover, these white holes could be passing through Earth right now, undetected. According to their work, these objects may also be responsible for dark matter, the mysterious substance that ...

Dark matter, the most mysterious "stuff" in the universe, may be a sort of cosmic matchmaker, allowing supermassive black holes to overcome a final hurdle before colliding and merging into one ...

Black Holes and Dark Matter are two of the most mysterious things in the Universe, but could black holes be the key to unlocking the secrets of Dark Matter?

As the supermassive black holes enter the core of the resulting single galaxy, they encounter greater densities of dark matter. The black holes interact with the dark matter through gravity ...

Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for the cold dark matter of the universe are primordial black holes—black ...

These detailed simulations show just how subtle and complex the role of primordial black holes can be. As the team moves toward creating even more detailed simulations, they hope to see how dark ...

Even very mild decay of dark matter yielded enough radiation to prevent cooling, forming large clouds and, eventually, supermassive black holes. “This could be the solution to why supermassive black ...

Fifty years ago, physicist Stephen Hawking offered one idea for what dark matter might be: a population of black holes, which might have formed very soon after the Big Bang.

In the 1970s, it was suggested that this dark matter could be tied up in teeny primordial black holes that formed during the Big Bang. These black holes could be as wide as a single atom, but ...

-- Saturday, Jan. 21, 2 p.m.: “Dark Matter Mystery,” a full-dome movie. Dark matter is a theoretical form of invisible mass, which is believed to be present in galaxies, but it has never been seen or ...

To discover more dark secrets of the Milky Way, visit the Hong Kong Space Museum’s free exhibition, “Black Hole: the Information Barrier”. It will run until May 27, 2024.

Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Here, it is imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope team. The UW Harry C. Vaughan Planetarium will host a program titled ...
