Physicists Think They Saw a Black Hole Explode
Black holes are born from the explosive deaths of stars. But can black holes themselves explode? Nobody knows…
From merging monsters to planet on a death wish, biggest space discoveries of 2025
Saturn, the planet with gigantic rings, added 128 new moons, taking its tally to 274, more than double…
Physicists Simulated a Black Hole in The Lab, And It Then Began to Glow
A black hole analog could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by…
Scientists finally confirm Hawking’s black hole law strengthening Einstein’s theory of gravity
Ten years ago, astronomers made history when they first detected ripples in spacetime, called gravitational waves, from the…
Exploding Primordial Black Holes Could ‘Rewrite the History of the Universe’
It’s been a fantastic week for Stephen Hawking’s black hole theories. Yesterday, LIGO confirmed the famed physicist’s prediction…
LIGO’s Sharpest Detection Yet Confirms Famous Stephen Hawking Theory
LIGO’s discovery of gravitational waves—ripples in space-time from powerful cosmic events—hit astrophysics more like a tidal wave than…
