When black holes merge, what happens inside of them is anybody's guess. Black hole mergers are beautiful — and some of the most violent events in the cosmos. Here's how the process unfolds.
In particular, the center of a black hole is predicted to be a point of infinitely high density, called a singularity, where all the mass of the black hole is concentrated, but fundamental physics ...
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 ...
Black holes continue to captivate scientists: they are purely gravitational objects, remarkably simple, yet capable of hiding mysteries that challenge our understanding of natural laws. Most ...
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 ...
