Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that ...

Could the Universe have been born inside a black hole? This question, raised by a team of scientists, challenges the Big Bang ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

The quest to understand black holes has intrigued scientists and captivated the public imagination for decades. These enigmatic cosmic entities, with their mysterious centers, have long been shrouded ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center — a point, hidden behind the ...

Black holes form when a star collapses under its own gravity, creating a singularity – a point of infinite density where the laws of physics as we know them cease to operate.

Most theories describe the singularity of black hole as a particularly brutal end, but a new study suggests this physics-breaking point could give way to a new beginning.

The big bang singularity is not a location in space, unlike the singularities of black holes. It’s a point in our past. And inside a black hole everything is crushing toward that singularity ...

The universe may not have begun with the Big Bang as is generally thought but from the collapse of a massive black hole, a new theory suggests. At such a critical moment in US history, we need ...

This new research suggests that "ordinary black holes" without a central singularity — the physics equivalent of having your cake and eating it — may be more than just the fever dream of ...
