At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable insights for particle physics ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

Sagittarius A* is spinning near top speed with its rotation axis pointing towards Earth. Event Horizon black hole project executed over 12 million computing jobs using distributed computing.

A UK study challenges the Big Bang theory, proposing that the universe exists inside a black hole. The new model suggests a gravitational collapse created the universe.

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Comparisons between black holes and the cosmology of our universe make some sense —after all, both contain singularities of a sort and horizons beyond which we can’t hope to glimpse.

These elusive objects, called intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), are thought to weigh between 100 and 100,000 times the mass of the sun. They could be the missing link in understanding how ...

Using a neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes, astronomers have found that the one at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, likely rotates at maximum speed.
