New research challenges the long-accepted notion of singularities in black holes — the point where physics allegedly breaks ...

Physicists are grappling with the inconsistencies of singularities in black hole models and exploring new theories.

Astronomers gain a greater understanding of black hole singularity. Experimental evidence for a finite core could illuminate ...

Calabi–Yau manifolds are the six-dimensional analogous of a torus, a donut-shaped shape. While theoretical physicists are familiar with them, this is the first time that they have been linked to a ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar ...

In 1915, Einstein published his seminal work on general relativity. Just a year later, German physicist Karl Schwarzschild found an exact solution to those equations, which implied the existence of ...

A regular black hole would have the light ring and the outer horizon, but also an inner horizon, which would enclose a core ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...

The universe isn’t just growing—it’s speeding up as it does. That discovery stunned scientists, upending long-held ideas ...
