The correspondence between black holes and two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) offers a profound framework for understanding quantum aspects of gravity and holography. This duality, ...

Recent progress in string theory has significantly reshaped our understanding of black holes. Traditionally seen as objects characterised by event horizons and singularities, black holes are now being ...

They’re the boogeymen of science fiction, a paradox of science and quite possibly a key to understanding the universe. Scientists have been scrambling to understand the mysterious forces of black ...

Could the vast universe in which we live actually be the interior of a black hole within a larger universe? The idea, which sounds as if it comes from the realm of science fiction, actually arises ...

Gravitational-wave astronomy has exploded since 2015, capturing hundreds of black hole and neutron star collisions. With ever-clearer signals, researchers are testing Einstein’s relativity and Hawking ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that black ...
