Physicists Uncover Geometric ‘Theory Space’
...of space-time in our own universe, and yet gravity there works in much the same way as it does here. Both geometries, for instance, give rise to black holes —...
Experiment Reaffirms Quantum Weirdness
...black holes, for instance, suggests that the stronger the gravity in a volume of space-time, the fewer bits can be stored in that region. Could gravity be reducing the number...
Can Analogies Reveal the Laws of Physics?
Hoping to gain insight into domains of nature that lie beyond experimental reach — the interiors of black holes, the subtleties of the quantum realm, the Big Bang — physicists...
What Sonic Black Holes Say About Real Ones
...Hawking’s approximation is wrong, then sonic black holes are not good proxies for black holes, and quantum gravity might somehow encode black hole histories in their radiation, preserving information as...
Responding Rapidly to Big Discoveries
...response” workshop titled “Astrophysics From LIGO’s First Black Holes.” The merging black holes that produced LIGO’s first signal were unexpectedly heavy, with implications for our understanding of the lives and...
Colliding Black Holes Tell New Story of Stars
...The mystery, she explained, is twofold: How did the black holes get so massive, considering that stars, some of which collapse to form black holes, typically blow off most of...
Moonshine Master Toys With String Theory
...black hole. Absolutely. You can ask about the information paradox or properties of various types of black holes, like realistic astrophysical black holes or supersymmetric black holes that come out...
Mining Black Hole Collisions for New Physics
...black hole. If you were to measure spin versus mass of black holes, you should see that in a certain mass range for black holes you see no quickly rotating...
LIGO Reports Second Black-Hole Merger
