How Will the Universe End?
...you leave a black hole alone long enough, it’ll kind of radiate away its energy — the black holes evaporate, everything decays into this disordered energy. So everything that was...
How Our Reality May Be a Sum of All Possible Realities
...approach to argue that information leaks out of dying black holes. This “seems to be the richer point of view to take,” said Simon Ross, a quantum gravity theorist at...
Astronomers Say They Have Spotted the Universe’s First Stars
...can produce a similar helium II signature, including scorching disks of material that swirl around black holes. Wang thinks his team can rule out a black hole as the source...
Mathematicians Find an Infinity of Possible Black Hole Shapes
...mass. The same holds for black holes — or, to be more precise, the event horizons of black holes — which must, according to theory, be spherically shaped in a...
Standard Model of Cosmology Survives a Telescope’s Surprising Finds
...universe; maybe the gas is denser; maybe somehow it is flowing in faster. I think we’re still learning about those processes.” Somerville also studies the possibility that black holes interfered...
The Year in Math
...and long ones — a 912-page paper showing that slowly rotating black holes are going to keep on slowly rotating until the end of time. Some mathematical results can be...
‘Nasty’ Geometry Breaks Decades-Old Tiling Conjecture
...know if they could drive that number down. By the mid-1970s, Roger Penrose (who would go on to win the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on black holes)...
She Turns Fluids Into ‘Black Holes’ and ‘Inflating Universes’
...black holes in “a giant bathtub, but it’s a very special one.” Weinfurtner meets with graduate students in her office. The fluid analogue of a black hole forms as water...
Physicists Create a Holographic Wormhole Using a Quantum Computer
...two black holes is created by EPR-like correlations between the microstates of the two black holes,” and that the duality might be more general than that: “It is very tempting...
