Recent research suggests that information that gets scrambled within a black hole could be passed to the outgoing particle partners in Hawking radiation; however, no definitive answer to this paradox has been found. Black holes could be dark matter (Image credit: sakkmesterke / Shutterstock.com)...
Even if you replaced our Sun with a black hole of equal mass, Earth would not fall in. The black hole would have the same gravitational field as the Sun. Earth and other planets would continue orbiting the black hole as it orbits the Sun today. And since the Sun isn’t big enough, ...
Tung Tran at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, and his colleagues investigated how the gravitational pull of a passing atom-sized, asteroid-mass black hole would affect the Solar System. They simulated how much the black hole would shift planets off their usual trajectories and...
One of the main path followed to provide additional constrains to theory is to determine the evolution of the black hole mass 鈥 galaxy relation with redshift. I will review in this talk the status in which we are currently standing. I will then report on recent results that we obtained ...
the pre-nova star) in a binary system can gradually accumulate matter from its companion until the white dwarf suddenly goes supernova, could the Unicorn be part of a similar pair, but where a neutron star gradually accumulated matter from its companion until it suddenly becomes a black hole?
black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it towards itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it gives off x-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the ...
This 2020 Nobel Prize, which follows on the heels of the 2017 Nobel Prize for the discovery of gravitational waves from black holes, and other recent stunning discoveries in the field – such as the the 2019 image of a black hole horizon by the Event Horizon Telescope –...
The first rendered image of a black hole, illuminated by infalling matter. In this study, researchers have proposed a model where these objects can gain mass without the addition of matter: they can cosmologically couple to the growth of the universe itself. Credit: Jean-Pierre Luminet, “Im...
Nobel-worthy discoveries The importance of this approach cannot be understated to astronomers. On 14 September 2015, the microscopic distances probed by interferometry were responsible for revealing signs of a black hole merger ( 5 ), marking the first-ever direct observation of gravitational waves ...
” says Prof. Jenny Greene fromPrinceton Universityand one of the lead authors of the recent paper. “In fact, several other supermassive black holes in the early Universe have now been found to show a similar behavior, which lead to some intriguing views of black hole and host galaxy ...
