As predicted by general relativity, the rapid spin of our galaxy's 4.1-million-solar-mass black hole is able to warp the fabric of spacetime.

Their study found that the black hole has an angular velocity of about 60% of the maximum possible, and an angular momentum of about 90% the maximum possible. Of course, you can’t just go around ...

In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers have successfully followed a gravitational wave's complete journey from the infinite past to the infinite future as it encounters a black hole.

The Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Galaxy may be "warping the spacetime surrounding it into a shape that can look like a football," according to the Chandra X-ray ...

Researchers have found that the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*, is spinning so rapidly that it is altering the fabric of space-time around ...

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.

One of my favorite celestial objects in the universe is the black hole. Granted, I'm an astrophysicist. But I know I'm not alone. People love black holes. They seem to hold a near-mythic status in ...

The image actually looks quite similar to the first "true" photo of a black hole from 2019. Snopes Membership. Search. My ... If you've ever heard of "spacetime" or the "space-time continuum ...

The connective tissue between the black hole’s entrance and the white hole’s exit would be an Einstein Rosen Bridge, more commonly known as a wormhole, a tunnel through spacetime connecting ...

In 1971, English mathematical physicist and Nobel-prize winner Roger Penrose proposed how energy could be extracted from a rotating black hole. He argued that this could be done by building a ...
