Astronomers have caught a black hole far from the center of its home galaxy ripping a star to shreds — providing, for the first time, direct evidence of a rogue supermassive black hole in action.

Just a year later, German physicist Karl Schwarzschild found an exact solution ... becomes truly infinite at the center of a black hole: a singularity where the laws of physics—or so it seems ...

Physicists have built the first ever black hole bomb, a long-theorised phenomenon where energy is boosted by a black hole and trapped by surrounding mirrors until an explosion occurs. Thankfully ...

"In theory, this process stops when the black hole stops spinning, becoming a static or 'Schwarzschild' black hole." Because black holes are thought to possess very few characteristics, the most ...

this new research gives credence to the theory of "Schwarzschild cosmology," which suggests that our galaxy is inside of a black hole, which, in turn, is located inside another, bigger parent ...

Though he didn’t know it at the time, Schwarzschild had discovered what would later be called a “black hole.” We don’t have direct evidence that Schwarzschild and Einstein had known each ...

Black hole cosmology, also known as "Schwarzschild cosmology," suggests that our observable universe might be the interior of a black hole itself within a larger parent universe. The idea was ...

In 2018, astronomers took the first-ever picture of a black hole, a fascinating and unprecedented glimpse of an event horizon. And as it turns out, the black hole — dubbed M87* and located some ...
