Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a non-perturbative, background-independent approach to quantising spacetime that seeks to merge the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In this ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

Black holes, with their cosmic vacuum cleaner meme in hand, have captured the imagination of scientists and the general public in approximately equal numbers for centuries. But imagine those dark ...

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

The most energetic cosmic neutrino, or "ghost particle," ever recorded may be the remnants of a nearby black hole explosion.

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

Such close-cropped quantum hair would not be directly observable as a change in the signals from black hole collisions, but it might be visible in other ways. For example, unusual aftereffects called ...

In 1974, Stephen Hawking proposed that black holes could evaporate. But do we understand how this might happen? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...
