"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 ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research shows ...

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

Could our galaxy actually be inside a black hole? New research seems to suggest this possibility. NASA's James Webb Telescope ...

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

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.

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

Besides quantum theory, general relativity is one of two pillars of ... where the two clash – at the event horizon of a black hole – unresolvable paradoxes emerge. The great hope is that ...

While general relativity describes gravity ... Concepts of cause and effect do not apply in black holes The theory of quantum gravity could turn our concept of causality under extreme conditions ...

Using the mathematics of Einstein's 1915 theory of gravity, called general relativity, scientists can model the interior of a black hole. The problem is that, when they do this, general relativity ...
