Black holes are usually framed as the ultimate dead ends of the universe, but a new mathematical proposal suggests they might instead be raw material for building shortcuts through spacetime. In this ...

Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape. Einstein's theory of ...

What if wormholes were never cosmic tunnels at all? New research suggests Einstein and Rosen’s famous “bridge” may actually reveal something even stranger: time itself could flow in two directions at ...

The quantum revolution in physics — whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated — taught us that at the most basic level the world is bizarrely different than it seems. But, we appear to only have ...

What happens when two black holes become connected through an inextricable quantum link? Calculations suggest that this can give rise to a bumpy space-time tunnel called the “Einstein-Rosen ...

Well, around a similar time, the American Physical Society (APS) invited researchers and science enthusiasts to chime in on ...

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 ...

Inside some very special black holes, there may be a boundary called a Cauchy horizon. Columnist Leah Crane explores the ...

The largest-ever survey of physicists from around the world—released today—shows a distinct lack of consensus across many of ...
