Evidence that the universe is rotating was recently delivered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which found that ...

A new paper from Harvard's sometimes controversial physicist Avi Loeb has suggested that if we want to find advanced alien ...

Rotating black holes are the most powerful phenomenon in the known universe. Their powerful gravity radically alters the curvature of spacetime around them, leading to relativistic effects like ...

Black holes are a drag. The energy that Penrose and now Pinochet suggest could theoretically be extracted from black holes is the kinetic energy that keeps them rotating.

"I think that the simplest explanation of the rotating universe is the universe was born in a rotating black hole," University of New Haven theoretical physicist Nikodem Poplawski, who champions ...

Obviously, black holes aren't the only cosmic objects that rotate, but there is something very special about rotating black holes or "Kerr black holes" that isn't true for other spinning cosmic bodies ...

Shamir explained that black holes are born rotating, and it could be that there are more black holes rotating clockwise as a result. This is taken as a clue that our universe itself might reside ...

Without a doubt, since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revolutionized our view of the early universe, but its new findings could put astronomers in a spin. In fact, it could tell ...

Black holes are mysterious objects. One longstanding question has been whether rotating black holes, which are so powerful they drag space-time along with them, could be used as an energy source.

Rotating black holes. Some black holes, however, rotate in a different direction than the accretion disk around them. This phenomenon is called counterrotation, ...

New research that used imaging from the James Webb Space Telescope gives credence to a scientific theory that says the Milky Way is inside of a black hole ...

Even a rotating cosmos has only a weak connection to the universe-inside-a-black-hole idea, however. Yes, black holes (and white holes) rotate, but it’s not straightforward how that rotation ...
