A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics models ...

"The biggest surprise of all was that the black hole was not located inside either of the two nuclei but in the middle. We asked ourselves: How can we make sense of this?" ...

Just three numbers—that’s all it takes to completely, unequivocally, 100 percent describe a black hole in general relativity. If I tell you the mass, electric charge, and spin (i.e., angular ...

Black holes and soccer balls don't have much in common, ... That means the universe shouldn't display a preference for stuff that spins clock or anti-clockwise.
