Can a black hole split into two in accordance with Einstein’s general relativity?
Could one black hole become two? A theoretical study tests entropy, rotation and escape conditions, revealing narrow possibilities without proving a split.
Imagine holding one of our most precise quantum devices at a fixed position outside a black hole. A Josephson junction—two superconductors separated by an ultrathin barrier—can turn a voltage into a ...
Why do clocks run at different speeds on the ground and in space? Why do distant galaxies sometimes appear as beautiful rings ...
Modified gravity theories extend Einstein’s general relativity by introducing additional degrees of freedom or higher-order curvature terms, with the dual aim of accounting for dark energy, dark ...
The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole. Since then, it has been boosting the resolution and filling in the details ...

A black hole splitting in two sounds impossible but physics has a loophole
Black holes are famous for colliding and merging into larger ones. However, could a ...
Are black holes born only when massive stars reach the end of their lives? It is possible that they were also formed when ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers observed bright flares of X-ray emissions, produced as gas falls into a supermassive black hole. (CREDIT: Dan Wilkins) ...
Rainbow gravity posits that the geometry of spacetime depends on the energy of the probe, leading to an energy-dependent metric that modifies the standard dispersion relation at Planckian scales. This ...
