The very concept of black holes seems improbable. Albert Einstein infamously refused to believe they could exist, even though ...

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...

Gravitational waves spotted by LIGO reveal two black holes, 140 and 100 times the mass of the sun, merged to become a 225 solar mass behemoth.

A new study has been accepted by the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics that proposes two new models of black ...

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

Black holes — regions of space-time with extreme curvature — first arose as a concept from solutions to Einstein's field equations suggested by German physicist and astronomer Karl ...

Supernova concept challenged. The black hole’s apparent gravitational hold on an object so far away raises questions about its origins. Black holes are thought to form from the violent ...

A black hole is a terrifying concept, but the mysterious nexus of physics and space-time isn’t always gobbling up matter. While famous for devouring anything and everything in its gravitational ...

Physicist Karl Schwarzschild accidentally discovered the concept of black holes in 1916 while working on a solution to Einstein's general theory of relativity.However, at that point, black holes ...
