At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible,” Albert Einstein once pondered. But even as ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

A new hypothesis called the “quantum memory matrix” could solve long-standing physics questions, including the Black Hole ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the ...

The quantum Penrose inequality limits the energy of space-time in terms of the total entropy – a statistical measure of a system’s disorder – of the black holes and quantum matter contained within it.

New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an event horizon, potentially solving some of the biggest paradoxes in ...

In their experiments with quantum computing and artificial intelligence simulations, they learned that black holes may not be storing information within but on the surface—just like a hologram.

A black hole formula worked out in the 1970s remains the most concrete clue physicists have about the threads of the space-time fabric.

What lies at the heart of a black hole has puzzled physicists for decades. Now, a team led by physicist Enrico Rinaldi has taken a bold approach to the mystery. By using quantum computing and ...

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...
