Most people assume that the Big Bang was the beginning of all things, but current scientific models point to another cosmic ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time ...

Theoretical physicists James Hartle and Stephen Hawking, for example, proposed that rather than having a strict beginning as ...

New research challenges our understanding of black holes, proposing they may not be cosmic dead ends after all.

Our understanding of black holes, time, and the mysterious dark energy that governs the universe may be on the verge of a major shift. A new study from the University of Sheffield suggests that ...

A new theory suggests black holes may not have singularities but act as portals, possibly leading to white holes. If true, it ...

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly ...

Traditional models of cosmic creation often involve Euclidean space—a phase where time behaves more like a spatial dimension—to sidestep the singularity problem. The Hartle–Hawking proposal ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic ... First, the outer boundary of these cosmic titans is a one-way light-trapping surface called an event horizon, the point at which a ...
