What Astronomers Are Learning From Gaia’s New Milky Way Map
...massive black hole at the center of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Full-size galaxies almost always harbor huge central black holes, which are of mysterious provenance. Their presence in some mini...
A Jewel at the Heart of Quantum Physics
...quantum field theory enters crisis mode in black holes. Black holes pack a huge amount of mass into an extremely small space, making gravity a major player at the quantum...
Math Duo Maps the Infinite Terrain of Minimal Surfaces
...constructed, offer a lens through which to study the geometry of the surrounding space, and they turn up in a range of scientific settings, from the study of black holes...
Any Single Galaxy Reveals the Composition of an Entire Universe
...The simulations also included rough treatments of complicated events like supernovas and jets that erupt from supermassive black holes. Ding’s neural network studied nearly 1 million simulated galaxies within these...
A New Tool for Finding Dark Matter Digs Up Nothing
...gravitational waves that pass through the planet, created by the distant collisions of black holes, only stretch and compress each mile of Earth’s surface by one-thousandth the diameter of an...
Physicists Use Quantum Mechanics to Pull Energy out of Nothing
...entanglement. Black holes shrink by emitting radiation entangled with their interiors, a process that can also be viewed as the black hole swallowing dollops of negative energy. Hotta noted that...
Shadows in the Big Bang Afterglow Reveal Invisible Cosmic Structures
...suggests that blasts from supernovas and accreting supermassive black holes forced the gas away from its dark matter nodes, spreading it out so that it was too thin and cold...
Neutrinos Linked With Cosmic Source for the First Time
...tracing ultrahigh-energy neutrinos back to their astrophysical source. That source appears to be a supermassive black hole at the center of a distant galaxy. Every time a black hole gobbles...
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...
