Black holes remain at the forefront of contemporary physics, challenging our understanding of gravity and the fabric of spacetime. Central to this intrigue is the cosmic censorship conjecture, which ...

New models explain how small black holes in the early universe beat the clock and grew into massive objects within millions ...

For the first time, astronomers have directly observed a spinning black hole bending space and time, as predicted in Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity more than a hundred years ago. The ...

Astronomers have unravelled the mystery behind an intriguing flicker that they noticed in black hole systems, using advanced computer simulations. Black holes, the most compact objects in the ...

New simulations show flickering black hole signals arise from unstable shocks inside accretion discs, revealing how matter ...

One of the most notable aspects about our planet—if observed from the outside—is that it spins. Earth’s spin defines our days, setting the fundamental rhythm of life on our world. The moon spins, too.
