Primordial black holes (PBHs) are black holes theorized to have formed shortly after the Big Bang. Compared to black holes emerging from collapsing stars, PBHs could have very different masses, ranging from very small to extremely large.
Scientists using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have confirmed the presence of an actively growing supermassive black hole in a galaxy observed just 570 million years after the Big Bang. It's a greedy blackhole,…
Observations of a merging black hole further supports the Area Theorem of black hole thermodynamics, which states that the event horizon of a black hole produced by two merging black holes must have a surface area no less than the areas of…
An international collaboration of physicists has made measurements to better understand how matter falls into black holes and how enormous amounts of energy and light are released in the process.
Tracking down black holes at the center of dwarf galaxies has proven difficult. In part that is because they have a tendency to “wander” and are not located at the galaxy’s center. There are plenty of galaxies that might contain such a…
In 2023, scientists detected the gravitational waves from a black hole collision that seemed impossible. New research finally explains how this "forbidden" black hole came to be, and what it can teach us about these extreme objects.
Nigel Farage is stirring the pot again with a radical proposal that could reshape the UK's financial landscape. What does this mean for public finances?
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has released results that clarify the origin of the knee in the cosmic ray energy spectrum. This feature, recognized by its sharp decline in cosmic ray numbers above 3 PeV, has…
Nigel Farage will demand that Rachel Reeves avoid increasing taxes at the Budget by imposing major spending cuts to prioritise British citizens instead.
Researchers from Purple Mountain Observatory have conducted an observational test of the black hole area law. Using the gravitational-wave event GW230814, which features a high signal-to-noise ratio, the team closely examined the event…
