Spiderweb of wormholes could solve a black hole paradox 1st proposed by Stephen Hawking
If information cannot be destroyed, what happens when a black hole that has swallowed a mega belly full of information disappears? A seemingly unsolvable black…
Supermassive Black Holes, Ultralight Dark Matter, and Gravitational Waves from a First Order Phase Transition
Nothing can escape from a black hole, not even light. In simple words, they are the regions of space with an extremely strong gravitational field.…
Highly Eccentric Black Hole Merger Detected for the First Time
For the first time, scientists from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and the University of Florida believe they have detected a merger of two…
Machine Learning decodes the tremors of the Universe
Neural network analyzes gravitational waves in real time Researchers trained a neural network to estimate – in just a few seconds – the precise characteristics…
Gravitational Waves Should Permanently Distort Space-Time
The first detection of gravitational waves in 2016 provided decisive confirmation of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. But another astounding prediction remains unconfirmed: According to general relativity,…
Astronomers Find 2 ‘Invisible’ Galaxies Behind Cosmic Dust
Astronomers have just discovered two galaxies that were previously invisible to us. Located 29 billion light-years away from the Earth — which, in galactic terms,…
