...to always question what you’re seeing.” Two decades later, there can be no more doubt about black holes and their critical role in the cosmos. What are black holes? Black...
Wormholes Untangle a Black Hole Paradox
...EPR paradox, named for its authors, Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen). The other showed how two black holes could be connected through far reaches of space through “wormholes” (ER,...
Quantum Complexity Shows How to Escape Hawking’s Black Hole Paradox
...it holds for real black holes, it will conclusively answer a gauntlet of classic black hole questions, from what an astronaut would experience as she fell into a black hole...
Why Black Hole Interiors Grow (Almost) Forever
...black holes to slowly evaporate away, giving rise to the much-discussed “black hole information paradox,” which asks what happens to information that falls into black holes. Quantum mechanics says the...
New Black Hole Math Closes Cosmic Blind Spot
...black holes. The rate of change in the frequency also provides information about a black hole’s spin. Finally, the amplitude (or height) of the detected wave can reveal how far...
This Physicist Discovered an Escape From Hawking’s Black Hole Paradox
...to particles near a black hole’s periphery, and saw unitarity break down. So do evaporating black holes really destroy information, meaning unitarity is not a true principle of nature? Or...
Long-Missing Midsize Black Hole Flashes Into View
...“seeds” are believed to be intermediate-mass black holes — giant black holes that fall in a mass gap between stellar-mass black holes, formed from dead stars, and supermassive black holes....
A Black Hole So Big It ‘Should Not Exist’
...a black hole would indeed be detected in the mass gap, because there’s a roundabout way for these plus-size black holes to form. Whereas most of the colliding black holes...
Latest Black Hole Collision Comes With a Twist
...immediately detected gravitational waves from a black-hole merger, no one knew whether it would see merging black holes, merging neutron stars, black holes merging with neutron stars or none of...
