Marcus Chown’s “A Crack in Everything” is a journey through space and time with the people studying one of the most enigmatic ...
Recently, two researchers looked at what would happen if a ship with warp drive tried to get into a black hole. The result is an interesting thought experiment. It might not lead to starship-sized ...
Approach the event horizon of a black hole on a one-way mission of discovery, and even if you survive, your distant colleagues won't be able to wave you away. Because time and space warp so ...
Following is the transcript of the video. Narrator: Black holes are some of the most powerful and violent objects in the universe. They can warp space and time and rip entire stars to pieces.
It is the third time now that the labs' laser instruments have been perturbed by the warping of space-time ... it is a merger of black holes, and once again the energy scales involved are ...
But simple it isn’t. General relativity’s equations fail catastrophically at a black hole’s centre, known as its singularity, where the warping of space-time simply goes off the scale.
Black holes and neutron stars are among the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the universe. These cosmic phenomena ...
OK, that was a little click-baity, but then again, so was the announcement this week that a scientist had confirmed Hawking radiation with a lab-grown black hole. It sure got our attention ...
Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, first proposed by Albert Einstein 110 ...
