John Preskill, a black hole and quantum gravity expert at Caltech, says the new traversable wormhole comes as a surprise, with implications for the black hole information paradox and black hole ...

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar created a black hole that would later turn out to be fairly scientifically accurate.

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second. The signal, known as ...

A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official concept in math, referring to two surfaces that may be transposable. In this ...

Could the vast universe in which we live actually be the interior of a black hole within a larger universe? The idea, which ...

Back in the prehistoric days of theoretical astrophysics (1985), in a mystical and exotic corner of planet Earth (Fresno, California), a man sat in the back of a car and tried to break the spacetime ...

Imagine two towns on two opposite sides of a mountain. People from these towns would probably have to travel all the way around the mountain to visit one another. But, if they wanted to get there ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

Dustin Henderson and the rest of the squad in Stranger Things get a pretty decent briefer on wormholes by his science teacher ...

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar was a phenomenon in 2014. Set in the future, Earth has been struck by a global crop blight. Former NASA pilot... Why 'Interstellar' has the most accurate black hole in ...

Black holes have long captured the imagination of both scientists and the general public. These exotic objects—once thought ...
