Scientists have created an optical device capable of mimicking black holes and the still hypothetical white holes. This system could revolutionize our understanding of the Universe and lead to ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending spacetime, creating a point of no return. While black holes have fascinated ...

A team of UBC physicists and engineers have designed an experiment featuring a trough of flowing water to help bolster a 35-year-old theory proposed by eminent physicist Stephen Hawking. In 1974, ...

Using the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope, astronomers have witnessed a supermassive black hole already noted for its mysterious behavior demonstrating another strange phenomenon. The Massachusetts ...

The black hole, with an official name of 1ES 1927+654, is located in the distant constellation Draco. Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass was ...
