Without the singularity, the gravitational pull is merely incredibly strong, but not infinite, and so you're always able to escape the vicinity of a black hole as long as you flee with enough ...
Just as ocean waves shape our shores, ripples in space-time may have once set the Universe on an evolutionary path that led to the cosmos as we see it today.
Chinese astronomers have spotted a hidden supermassive black hole in the background of a peculiar gravitational wave event ...
As a side benefit, this eliminates the problem of the gravitational singularity at the center of a black hole. There is no central singularity because there is no center.
Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...
At the center of each classical black hole is a paradox: a singularity, where gravity is infinite and the laws of physics break down. But a new theoretical breakthrough says such cosmic dead ends ...
Gravitational waves, for example, always pass through whatever they encounter: empty space, dark matter, gas clouds, plasma, dust, planets, stars, and even dense stellar remnants like white dwarfs ...
Related: Quantum gravity and other problems This newly modified theory suggests there is no singularity at the heart of a black hole. So what does exist in this extreme, exotic realm?
This means that by measuring gravitational waves, astrophysicists like me can peek directly into the heart of some of the most spectacular phenomena in the universe. Since 2020, the Laser ...
