Black holes are one of the universe’s most enigmatic phenomena. They defy our understanding of physics, challenging our ...

Can we do away with the troublesome singularity at the heart of black holes? A new paper in JCAP reimagines these extreme objects in light of current knowledge. “Hic sunt leones,” remarks Stefano ...

Black holes are often described as the ultimate no-exit zones of the universe, where gravity becomes so strong that not even light can escape. However, what’s even more intriguing than the black holes ...

New research suggests black holes may transition into 'white holes', ejecting matter and potentially even time back into the universe, defying our current understanding of these cosmic giants. New ...

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 ...

Everything that falls into a black hole falls in at the same time. Perhaps in the distant past, some unfortunate alien astronaut was sent past the event horizon to explore what lies beyond. From our ...

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed ...

A new study suggests that a black hole singularity—where time and matter are condensed into infinitely small space—could be a transition to a beginning. This beginning is a white hole—a theoretical ...

"It may take decades before we find out what really happens in black holes." Reports of the singularity's demise may have been premature. Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution ...

Our understanding of black holes, time and the mysterious dark energy that dominates the universe could be revolutionised, as new University of Sheffield research helps unravel the mysteries of the ...
