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

However, a new theory challenges this long-held belief, suggesting that what we call black holes might not be black holes at ...

"This makes it more plausible that black holes are the source of dark energy." According to the theory of cosmological coupling, black holes convert normal matter into dark energy. The team's ...

Supermassive black holes, predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity, can have masses equal to billions of suns; these cosmic monsters likely hide at the centers of most galaxies.

Perhaps it will also bring us closer to an understanding of the true nature of black holes" Scientists have strengthened the potential connection between dark energy and black holes. New research ...

black hole-forming waves to exist. But by applying current understandings of quantum field theory to observations of the CMB, the researchers posit that these waves, too, may not have been as ...

LID-568 was previously identified by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, but observing it was challenging due to its faint ...

Black holes are the bottomless pits of gravity decreed by Einstein’s theory of general relativity more than a century ago. Astronomers now know that there are millions of them just in our own ...

Despite decades of study, black holes are still one of the most puzzling objects in the Universe. As we know from Einstein’s ...

The theory goes that black holes accrete material, often from nearby stars. However the theory also suggests there is a limit to how big a black hole can grow due to accretion and certainly shouldn’t ...
