Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to ...

For a unified theory of quantum gravity that can be applied universally, these two immiscible theories need to find a way to ...

These two sets of laws don’t quite match up. But black holes are the perfect place to explore the links between them. For example, Stephen Hawking theorized that the laws of quantum mechanics suggest ...

One way that physicists have attempted to explain how singularities (regions of infinite density within a black hole) could ...

A decade after the discovery of the “amplituhedron,” physicists have excavated more of the timeless geometry underlying the ...

Do black holes destroy information? Physicists have been trying to answer that question for decades, because the idea that ...

Physicists finally know whether black holes destroy the information contained in infalling matter. The problem is that the answer hasn’t lit the way to a new understanding of space-time ...

dipolar quantum gases. A team has now demonstrated a missing hallmark of superfluidity, namely the ... Astrophysicists Use Echoes of Light to Illuminate Black Holes Nov. 7, 2024 — Researchers ...

If gravity is a truly quantum entity, something as simple as measuring the strength of an object’s gravitational field should change its quantum state ...

A 1930s-era breakthrough is helping physicists understand how quantum threads could weave together into a holographic space-time fabric. A black hole formula worked out in the 1970s remains the most ...

Scientists are now claiming that primordial black holes may be heating up and exploding throughout the universe. Detection of ...

The theoretical physicist Leonard Susskind speaks with co-host Janna Levin about the black hole information paradox and how it has propelled modern physics. Teleporting people through space is still ...
