For scientists, learning more about how black holes behave is essential to understanding how the universe works. A recent ...

Using a chain of atoms in single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole, a team of physicists in 2022 observed ...

Researchers have spent 10 years improving the massive detectors they use to catch shockwaves from colliding black holes, and ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions ...

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made by Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

New observations of two black holes merging have confirmed predictions made decades ago by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Roy Kerr. A decade ago, scientists first picked up ripples in the ...

We typically only think of Stephen Hawking as the brilliant theoretical physicist confined to a wheelchair. But the trailer for "The Theory of Everything" shows Hawking in a whole new human light.

Black hole merger detected by LIGO offers the strongest proof yet of Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. The findings confirm black holes are defined by spin and mass. Their event ...

Ten years after the first gravitational wave detection, a new suite of instruments has captured distinctive ringing signals ...

Hawking’s party illustrates four scenarios: time travel may be impossible, discovered too late, only accessible to non-human ...

Ten years after LIGO’s historical detection of gravitational waves, the project is cracking black hole mysteries at an astounding pace.

Today in things you never thought you’d see: Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking performed Monty Python’s “Galaxy Song” in a new video from the beloved British comedy troupe. The clip is half live footage ...
