Where do black holes lead to? If a massive object crosses the event horizon, it will be sucked into the black hole and never escape. What happens inside the black hole is unknown; even our current theories of physics do not apply in the vicinity of a singularity. What are the two types...
The largest known 'object' in the Universe is the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall. This is a 'galactic filament', a vast cluster of galaxies bound together by gravity, and it's estimated to beabout 10 billion light-years across! Will Earth go into a black hole? Will Earth be swallow...

Another symptom of progress toward the Singularity: ideas themselves should spread ever faster, and even the most radical will quickly become commonplace. When I began writing, it seemed very easy to come up with ideas that took decades to percolate into the cultural consciousness; now the lead ...
For nearly 100 years, physicists have been trying to reconcile the physics of the smallest building blocks of the universe (quantum physics) with the physics of the galactically large (Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity). But they kept running into one requirement that was hard to swallow...
Eventually the gravity of the star forces its mass to fold in on itself, creating a stellar black hole, the resulting singularity around 30 or more times the mass of our Sun. Though stellar black holes are pretty big, there are others that make them look tiny. At the heart of galaxies...
Researchers have provided the best modeling to date of the growth of the supermassive black holes found in the centers of galaxies by combining X-ray observations from the most powerful X-ray facilities ever launched into space with supercomputer simulations of the buildup of galaxies over cosmic ...
singularity is, mathematically, where the gravity becomes infinitely strong, so the curvature of spacetime becomes infinite. We cannot really tell what exactly happens in singularity, but the spaceship and everything inside will be destroyed well before the ship reaches the singularity," Vilenkin said...
Scientists believe they have solved the mystery of the strange 167-million-year-old footprints of predatory dinosaurs that appeared to do a cross-step as they walked the ancient Earth. By watching how the flightless modern bird known as the emu [image] walks, researchers surmise that the dinosa...
" said Dr. Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, a Universities Space Research Association scientist at the SOFIA Science Center at NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley. "We have a pretty good understanding of how gravity affects galactic structures, but we're just starting to learn ...
