The new study, which appears in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, suggests that the Milky Way’s black hole is spinning so fast that it’s actually warping space-time.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have taken a detailed look at the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sgr A*, finding it endlessly blowing bubbles. Researchers ...

The first image ... black holes — were found to distort space extremally and generate a puncture in the fabric of spacetime. It was unclear at the time if these corresponded to real objects ...

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.

warping of space-time by massive objects, and the theory of quantum mechanics, which describes physics at the smallest length scales. To fully describe black holes, these two theories need to be ...
