Stephen Hawking’s black hole prediction finally comes true – why it’s a breakthrough for science
Stephen Hawking, one of the most famous physicists in history, made a bold prediction in 1971 that the surface of a black hole, called its event horizon, can never shrink. For decades, this remained a ...
Gravitational-wave astronomy has exploded since 2015, capturing hundreds of black hole and neutron star collisions. With ever-clearer signals, researchers are testing Einstein’s relativity and Hawking ...
Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...
On Sept. 14, 2015, physicists attained the long-sought goal of detecting gravitational waves, the shockwaves spewed out by such cataclysmic events as the violent merger of two black holes. Now, in the ...
Ten years after LIGO’s historical detection of gravitational waves, the project is cracking black hole mysteries at an astounding pace. Reading time 4 minutes LIGO’s discovery of gravitational ...
