"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 ...

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 ...

New research suggests black holes may transition into 'white holes', ejecting matter and potentially even time back into the universe, defying our current understanding of these cosmic giants.
