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, ...

Recent observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes have confirmed a theory proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking half a century ago. This breakthrough not only validates Hawking’s ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted in quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein's special relativity theory. This ...

On Sept. 14, 2015, physicists attained the long-sought goal of detecting gravitational waves, the shockwaves spewed out by such cataclysmic events as the violent merger of two black holes. Now, in the ...

In 1974 Stephen Hawking famously claimed that black holes should emit particles as well as absorb them. This so-called "Hawking radiation" has not yet been observed, but now a research group from ...

Discovery joins a list of the greatest hits of the LIGO detector, which ten years ago became the first to detect gravitational waves. The songs of the cosmos, now that we can finally hear them, might ...

As black holes slowly vanish through Hawking radiation, their information may be preserved in subtle space-time ripples, a new theory suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...
