Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window ...

A black hole can feel like the most distant and unreal object you could ever think about, yet the way its darkness bends ...

Researchers are using black hole “shadow” images to test whether Einstein’s relativity remains unshakable. With next-generation telescopes, they hope to spot telltale signs of alternative physics ...

Falling into a black hole means facing extreme stretching, known as spaghettification, due to immense tidal forces. While ...

Physicists developed a method to test Einstein’s general relativity precisely where black hole shadow images reveal potential differences under alternative gravity theories. This simulation explores ...

Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes ...

Most of the atomic clocks in the world - fewer than 500 in total - are housed at standards institutes and used to keep time ...

After hearing about her peers’ struggles with Monday’s Mathematical Methods exam, year 12 Loreto College Marryatville student ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

Researchers detect the clearest black hole signal to date, enabling tests of Hawking's area theorem and advancing ...

Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse the thin ring of light that is thought to surround every black hole.

Does dark matter follow the same laws as ordinary matter? The mystery of this invisible and hypothetical component of our ...
