Stephen Hawking's infamous black hole paradox could be solved — if the universe has 7 dimensions
Stephen Hawking's theory of black hole evaporation clashes with the laws of quantum mechanics. A new paper finds a way around ...
In 1974, a brilliant 32-year-old physicist published a not-quite-two-page paper in the journal Nature — and blew up one of our fundamental assumptions about black holes. The author was Stephen Hawking ...
On Sept. 14, 2015, physicists attained the long-sought goal of detecting gravitational waves, the shockwaves spewed out by such cataclysmic events as the violent merger of two black holes. Now, in the ...
A decade ago, the universe whispered, and humanity, for the first time, had the tools to listen. On September 14, 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) made history with ...
