Astronomers find simple solution to complicated black hole merger
Physicists have demonstrated that what occurs on the space-time boundary of the two merging objects can be simply explained – at least when black holes collide
Astronomers use empty space to figure out dark energy
Researchers looking for new ways to probe the nature of the universe have adopted a new strategy: looking at what’s not there
Black holes could have “back doors” to another universe
A recent study suggests that matter might in fact survive its foray into these space objects and come out the other side
Five-dimensional black hole could “break” Einstein’s general relativity
A bizarrely-shaped black hole could cause Einstein’s general theory of relativity, a foundation of modern physics, to break down
NASA spot faintest galaxy just 400 million years after the Big Bang
Astronomers harnessing the combined power of NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes have found the faintest object ever seen in the early universe
LISA Pathfinder launch: “We’re looking for violent things!”
We caught up with Paul McNamara, lead scientist of LISA Pathfinder, before the mission’s launch
Why should we look for wormholes?
Professor Robert Owen, of Oberlin College, USA, tells us why hunting for wormholes is so necessary
Could wormholes really exist?
We asked two experts this mind-bending question
