Einstein believed that black holes didn't really exist. But they do: that much we know. We don't know much else about them.

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." A team of scientists has developed a recipe ...

Black holes have two parts. There is the event horizon, which you can think of as the surface, though it’s simply the point where the gravity gets too strong for anything to escape. And then, at the ...

At the center of every black hole is a point of infinite density, called a singularity. It's what gives black holes their strong gravitational pull. And for decades, scientists thought ...

A new study suggests that a black hole singularity—where time and matter are condensed into infinitely small space—could be a transition to a beginning. This beginning is a white hole—a ...

Most people know that black holes are kind of scary. Admittedly, that's true, but black holes are so much more than that.

the study demonstrates that even more realistic dynamic black holes are subject to significant instability over relatively short timescales. This instability is due to an accumulation of energy ...

NASA has turned pressure waves emanating from a black hole at the centre of the Perseus galaxy cluster into notes audible to humans. The sound waves were extracted along the radius of the galaxy ...

But simple it isn’t. General relativity’s equations fail catastrophically at a black hole’s centre, known as its singularity, where the warping of space-time simply goes off the scale.
