Scientists describe black hole creation through pure gravity and without s
Updated : 1 year ago IST
Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how singularities are resolved in the context of quantum gravity is one of the fundamental problems

According to research, black holes eat faster than previously thought
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
A new study led by Northwestern University is changing the way astrophysicists think about supermassive black holes' eating habits. Previously, physicists hypothesised that black holes ate slowly, but recent simulations show that black holes feed far faster than popular thinking predicts. T

Gravitational waves from colossal black holes use 'cosmic clocks': Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
You can't see or feel it, but everything around you is steadily shrinking and increasing, even your own body. According to a new study from the NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Centre of the National Science Foundation, it's the strange, spacetime-warping effect of gravitational waves passing thro

Everything, including black holes, will eventually evaporate: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers found Black holes will eventually evaporate due to Hawking radiation, but the event horizon is not as important as previously thought. New theoretical research from Radboud University's Michael Wondrak, Walter van Suijlekom, and Heino Falcke has shown that Stephen Hawking was pa

New discovery sheds light on very early supermassive black holes
Updated : 3 years ago IST
One of the most extreme galaxies known to exist in the very early Universe has a fast-expanding black hole, according to astronomers from the Universities of Texas and Arizona. New information about the creation of the first supermassive black holes is revealed by the discovery of the galaxy

New model of ringing black holes created by physicists
Updated : 3 years ago IST
When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples called gravitational waves outward in all directions.

Massive fuel-hungry black holes feed off intergalactic gas: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Research led by the University of Southampton has revealed how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are feeding off gas clouds which reach them by travelling hundreds of thousands of light years from one galaxy to another.

Hubble finds hungry black hole twisting captured star into donut shape
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Black holes are gatherers, not hunters. They lie in wait until a hapless star wanders by. When the star gets close enough, the black hole's gravitational grasp violently rips it apart and sloppily devours its gasses while belching out intense radiation.
