Squishy or Solid? A Neutron Star’s Insides Open to Debate
...come from black holes, which are more tractable beasts from a computational standpoint. But this signal involved lighter objects and went on for much longer than the black hole mergers....
Newfound Wormhole Allows Information to Escape Black Holes
...University, the repulsive negative energy in the wormhole’s throat can be generated from the outside by a special quantum connection between the pair of black holes that form the wormhole’s...
Neutron-Star Collision Shakes Space-Time and Lights Up the Sky
...discovery that earned the experiment’s architects the Nobel Prize in Physics this month. Three more signals from black hole collisions followed the initial discovery. Yet black holes don’t give off...
Ultra-Powerful Radio Bursts May Be Getting a Cosmic Boost
...What could possibly be making such blasts? Astrophysicists imagined one-off cataclysms — perhaps collapsing stars, or colliding black holes — which would seem to be the only way to generate...
LIGO Architects Win Nobel Prize in Physics
...in the discovery of “gravitational waves,” tiny ripples in space-time set in motion by faraway cataclysms such as the collisions of black holes. The existence of gravitational waves was predicted...
Moonshine Link Discovered for Pariah Symmetries
...symmetry groups to special classes of “weight 3/2” modular forms, objects that also show up in natural counting functions for black holes and for higher-dimensional generalizations of strings called “branes.”...
To Solve the Biggest Mystery in Physics, Join Two Kinds of Law
...the phenomenally successful reductionist approach of the past centuries, John Wheeler, the influential Princeton University physicist whose work touched on topics from nuclear physics to black holes, expressed an interesting...
For Astronomers, Neutron Star Merger Could Eclipse Eclipse
...it had detected gravitational waves from two colliding black holes. Four months later, while still in its first observing run, the team confirmed the detection of a second black hole...
Mathematicians Tame Rogue Waves, Lighting Up Future of LEDs
...waves then interfere with each other in a bewildering number of ways. And, just as you can combine every color to get black, when you combine such a complicated mix...
