For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible. advertisement Story by Darren Orf ...

Black holes twist the very fabric of space and time, bending light cones so drastically that time and space swap roles, transforming the horizon from a place into a moment, and the center into an ...

Scientists may now have an idea, after taking a fresh look at the first-ever black hole to be imaged — the supermassive black hole M87*, , which resides at the center of the Messier 87 galaxy.

If decoupling takes place, they showed that the inside of a black hole is a mishmash — rather unlike the smooth stretching of space and time that Schwarzschild’s earlier solution suggested. As ...

Knowing the distribution of black hole masses and spins, and how the distribution changes over time, greatly enhances our understanding of the universe." Related Stories: ...
