Research suggests synthetic black holes radiate like real ones
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Understanding black holes is the key to unravelling the most fundamental laws governing the cosmos because they represent the limits of two of the best-tested theories of physics: the theory of general relativity, which describes gravity as resulting from the (large-scale) warping of space-t
