If physicists had a holy grail it would go by the name of Quantum Gravity. For 60 years researchers have been searching for a way to unite the very large and the very small into a single coherent ...

An underwater observatory recently detected a startlingly energetic cosmic neutrino. One possible cause involves a phenomenon ...

Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

For decades, wormholes have been hypothesized as mysterious tunnels that might let us cross galaxies or even time itself—but what if this picture is completely wrong? New study suggests that one of ...

Wormholes, theoretical passages through space-time, have captivated scientists and science fiction enthusiasts alike for decades. With the potential to connect distant regions of the universe, ...

A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever before. By combining Einstein’s gravity with realistic behavior of light and ...
