A new theory suggests black holes may not have singularities but act as portals, possibly leading to white holes. If true, it ...

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 ...

The idea of black holes was first proposed in 1916, but at the time, physicists didn't think they actually existed. Today, we ...

Black hole research sits at the crossroads of gravity, quantum physics and high-performance computing, yet it is often treated as a luxury when science budgets tighten. Pulling back on this work would ...

We all know that everything kicked off when the Big Bang exploded our universe into reality, right? Well, not necessarily. A compelling new theory of the creation of our universe suggests that it may ...

What kind of physics is happening inside a black hole? Scientists have a lot of ideas, but taking any concrete measurements is borderline impossible—that is, unless you want to be spaghettified or ...

"The dark structures shaping galaxies today could be relics from a time before the Big Bang." The post Physicist Proposes ...

An artist's concept of a tidal disruption event (TDE), which happens when a star passes close to a supermassive black hole. The gravity of the black hole pulls material from the star and launches a ...

And I agree - somewhat - with tmatsci here: I don't believe an actual singularity exists at the center of a black hole. Firstly, on purely theoretical grounds, I don't believe any real infinities ...
