Most cosmologists believe that these stars were the first large, free-floating structures to illuminate our universe, and ...

A tiny particle that smashed into Earth with a record-shattering energy of 220 petaelectronvolts could be the last scream of ...

Today, let's talk about a super thrilling topic — the 'quantum singularity' at the center of black holes. It is said to be even scarier than black holes themselves. Can this thing really destroy the ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole ...

A provocative new theory suggests that the Universe may not have begun with a traditional Big Bang, but rather as a “Big Bounce” — the explosive rebound of matter collapsing into a black hole. Led by ...

The researchers extended existing theoretical models to account for quantum fluctuations and applied these models to flowing condensates, discovering stable density and velocity fluctuation patterns ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

Black holes get bigger as they merge, the LIGO Collaboration confirmed with a new observation that could finally prove a ...

Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a non-perturbative, background-independent approach to quantising spacetime that seeks to merge the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In this ...

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

In March 1974, Stephen Hawking published the paper that made his name. It contained the revelation that black holes – gravitational giants from which nothing, not even light, can escape – don’t grow ...
