"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time ...

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly ...

In a study published March 11 in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters, two researchers applied quantum mechanics to ...

In a new book release, two scientists combine forces to explain the discoveries, developments and theories made in the realm ...

Elusive black hole radiation predicted by Stephen Hawking may have influenced the way the universe took shape after the Big ...

Feb. 13, 2025 — Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down.

Quantum mechanics is used to propose that black hole singularities could be the start of a new phase, rather than a point of destruction.

Famed physicist Stephen Hawking took gravity to its ultimate limits. In doing so, he made a number of significant ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity can be summed ... And in another situation where the two clash – at the event horizon of a black hole – unresolvable paradoxes emerge.

Black holes have fascinated scientists and storytellers for decades. These mysterious cosmic objects have gravity so strong ...

By modifying Einstein's theory of general relativity, the center of a black hole with infinite curvature could be replaced by a highly curved but regular region of space-time, the researchers ...
