"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time ...

First, the outer boundary of these cosmic titans is a one-way light-trapping surface called an event horizon, the point at which a black hole's gravity is so powerful that not even light can escape.

The James Webb Space Telescope has given us a view of the earliest moments of galaxy formation in the universe. It's also ...

Rotating black holes are the most powerful phenomenon in the known universe. Their powerful gravity radically alters the curvature of spacetime around them, leading to relativistic effects like ...

The black hole pressures—P S, the outward pressure keeping it inflated from the negative scalar curvature, and P M the inward pressure from self-gravity trying to compress it—are gravitational ...

Black holes are exceptionally dense objects with gravity so strong that not even light can escape. The Large Magellanic Cloud is located about 160,000 light-years from Earth, making it among the ...

Black holes are “regions in space where the gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them”, says Assoc Prof Nur Adlyka. “These black holes play an important ...

A new model has been proposed that challenges the long-standing belief that black holes contain a singularity, a region where space and time break down. This theory suggests that black holes could ...

when the universe was very small and gravity was very strong. And in another situation where the two clash – at the event horizon of a black hole – unresolvable paradoxes emerge. The great ...

The early universe could have given birth to primordial black holes. If rare regions had an enhanced mass density such that their self-gravity reversed cosmic expansion on the scale of the cosmic ...
