Whenever someone talks about black holes, they almost always talk about the event horizon and the singularity. After all, ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led some cosmologists to wonder if our universe could have been born in a black hole. Photograph by NASA Goddard Gazing up at the ...

Over at the Physics And Cake blog, there’s a great discussion of exactly how machines will replace theoretical physicists, with their only goal being to create a perfect model of the universe, and no ...

A radical new theory by physicist Naman Kumar is challenging the way we think about the birth of the universe. Rather than ...

New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an event horizon, potentially solving some of the biggest paradoxes in black ...

Over the last century, three questions have confounded the field of theoretical physics. What is the nature of the black hole singularity? What happens at the end of the evaporation process of a black ...

Some clusters of galaxies may not need dark matter in order for their physics to work. In new research, a physicist describes a “shell singularity,” where gravity applies without mass. Today’s ...
