Thomas Mulligan simplifies Stephen Hawking’s black hole paradox to make it accessible to all viewers. At least 24 are dead, and girls are missing from a camp, in a catastrophic Texas flood Julian ...

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...

Both short films have been released to promote Hawking’s Reith Lecturers for BBC Radio 4. If you live in the U.K., you’re lucky enough to listen to the first of his lectures on BBC iPlayer, here.

Here’s a look at the life of renowned theoretical physicist, cosmologist, astronomer and mathematician, Stephen ...

A new hypothesis called the “quantum memory matrix” could solve long-standing physics questions, including the Black Hole ...

Hawking radiation, discovered by Stephen Hawking in 1974, is the process by which black holes emit subtle radiation and gradually evaporate. It combines quantum field theory and general relativity, ...

Supermassive black holes are some of the densest objects found within our universe. These cosmic objects are so heavy that they often weigh billions of times more than our sun, and they’re so ...

At the heart of a black hole lies what’s called a “singularity” — a point where our laws of physics break down, and gravity becomes infinite. But the defining edge of a black hole is the event horizon ...

A powerful new technique is poised to revolutionize how astronomers observe black holes, by producing sharp, multicolored images that could reveal their dynamic evolution in real time.

An artist’s impression of a tidal disruption event, in which a star is spaghettified and the remains form an accretion disk around the black hole. Typically, about half the star’s mass is drawn into ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption ...
